==In the original manga==

===Southern Cross arc===

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 ~~blackmailed~~ into ~~becoming~~ Shin~~'s lover~~ 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 took her own life by jumping off the roof of Shin's palace. Following this revelation, Shin does the same.

After the Southern Cross arc, Yulia only appears in a couple of flashbacks involving Toki and [[Raoh]] before her reappearances. Toki mentions that not only Kenshiro and Shin desired Yulia, but also Toki and Raoh. Likewise, Yulia's brother, Ryuga, challenges Kenshiro in honor of his (thought to be) deceased sister.

===TV series===

Yulia was voiced by [[Yuriko Yamamoto]] in the ''Hokuto no Ken'' animated TV series which aired between 1984 and 1988. She was voiced by [[Melissa Williamson]] in Manga Entertainment's English dub of the first 36 episodes. The TV series differs slightly from the manga, as the early episodes of the series expands Yulia's role in the initial Southern Cross story arc, fleshing out her captivity in Shin's palace. She does not jump off Shin's palace until sometime prior to episode 22 (the final battle between Kenshiro and Shin), a scene which occurs while Shin's city has been set ablaze. Her role later in the series does not deviate much from the original manga. Her hair color in the series changes from auburn prior to been captured by Shin, to pale purple when she's with Shin and to golden when she shows up as the Last Nanto General.

===1986 animated movie===

In the 1986 animated movie, Yulia was once again played by Yuriko Yamamoto and by [[Melodee Spevack]] in [[Streamline Pictures]]' English dub version. Like in the original manga and TV series, Yulia is forced to become Shin's lover following Kenshiro's defeat by Shin at the start of the film. The movie deviates from its source material as the story progresses: instead of attempting to take her own life, Yulia is captured by Raoh after he invades Southern Cross and defeats Shin. Raoh imprisons her in the Dungeon of Cassandra, using her as bait to lure Kenshiro. She manages to free herself during the final battle between Kenshiro and Raoh, but disappears shortly afterwards (she is last shown with [[Bat]] and [[Lin]]). Kenshiro sets out to find her after the battle and her ultimate fate is left ambiguous to the viewer.
