Julia Wicker

Julia Wicker is a female character who features in The Magicians.

Biography

Julia Ogden Wicker was a female human born in 1992 in Montclair, New Jersey. She was raised alongside her sister, Mackenzie, and met her best friend Quentin Coldwater in grade school. Julia introduced Quentin to the Fillory and Further books, and the two bonded over their love for the series. One day, Julia and Quentin drew a map of Fillory beneath the table in her parents' kitchen, making plans to explore Fillory together. She attended Columbia University, where she graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor's Degree in political science and literature.

Julia finds herself at Brakebills facing the same entrance exam as Quentin. Julia, however, fails and is denied access to Brakebills. She argues with Professor Van der Weghe when she's told she would not be allowed to attend the school, urging him to reconsider. When it becomes clear that her arguments aren't going to succeed, she manages to cut into her arm with a sharp piece of jewelry, as a way of remembering the events at the school.

Waking later with her memories wiped, Julia tries to remember when she cut her arm, eventually remembering fragments of what happened to her and leading her to research magic intensely. She eventually finds a spell on the internet to shoot sparks from her fingers, ultimately proving herself right: She can do magic. This develops into an obsession that overtakes everything in her life. Her boyfriend James contacts Quentin for help and reminds him that Julia's birthday is coming up. At the party, Julia shows Quentin the sparks spell, revealing that she remembers Brakebills, and wants them to test her again. Quentin, protecting his own status as a student at Brakebills, tells Julia to move on and find something else to do with her life. The words come out more harshly than he seems to have intended and the two friends split on bad terms.
