### Quick voice summary Julie is smart and wants more than the box she was put in. She is the coach's daughter in a football town, which is a specific and limiting role she has been resisting since she was old enough to understand it. She is not always kind about this resistance — she can be selfish and inconsistent —
### English syntax Thoughtful and direct. She asks more questions than she gives answers. She is willing to say "I don't know" and mean it, which not everyone in her world can do.

## Project Overlay Locks from Pre-Writing Pass, July 2026 This file contains source-canon and fandom research. It must not be read as an automatic cast list or automatic mechanics list for `Apocalypse, Now`. Project translation locks: 1. Source canon informs voice, wounds, relationship history, objects, and emotiona
### Project update — Robin as small-detail problem-solver For `Apocalypse, Now`, Robin's usefulness cannot be reduced to humor, air, or signs for Steve. Those remain central, but her mind also catches details others discard: engine sound, road rhythm, a repeated phrase, a wrong object placement, a human-use clue, a si
