Yulia is introduced in the series as the missing fiancée of Kenshiro. One year prior to the present events of the manga (after the death of Kenshiro's father, [[Ryūken]]), Kenshiro was challenged by his former friend Shin, of the [[Nanto Sei Ken]] school, who also desired Yulia. After Kenshiro was defeated, Yulia was strongarmed into saying she loved Shin under the condition that Shin would spare the defeated Kenshiro, an event which left Kenshiro with his characteristic seven scars on his chest. The story arc following the first chapter of the manga centers around Kenshiro's quest to defeat Shin's army, who has assumed the identity of King. Kenshiro infiltrates the city of Southern Cross, where he confronts and defeats Shin. After, the battle he find not the real Yulia, but a mannequin constructed in her likeness, prompting Shin to reveal the truth. After Shin had taken Yulia away from Kenshiro, Shin expanded his reign of power and wealth in an effort to win over Yulia's affections, eventually constructing the city of [[Southern Cross]] for Yulia. Unable to tolerate the cruelties Shin committed in her name, Yulia attempted to take her own life by jumping off the roof of Shin's palace. Yulia was safely caught after she fell from Shin's palace by the [[Nanto Goshasei]]. The Goshasei revealed to Shin that Yulia is descended from the Nanto Seitō Kettō and that they, as sworn guardians of the Nanto Bloodline, came to protect Yulia from Raoh, who was approaching Southern Cross to seize her. Shin entrusted Yulia to the protection of Nanto Goshasei and agreed to tarnish his reputation by pretending that Yulia had died. The only ones that knew she was really alive were [[Rihaku]], [[Fudō]], [[Tō]], [[Hyūi]], [[Shuren]], and Shin. | Yulia is introduced in the series as the missing fiancée of Kenshiro.
