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

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.

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.

===Last Nanto General arc===

After the deaths of the other five members of the Nanto Roku Seiken, as well as Toki and Ryuga, the Last General of the Nanto Roku Seiken surfaces and orders the Nanto Goshasei to attack Raoh, including Yulia's half-brother, Juza of the Clouds. The Last General's identity, which is initially concealed in a helmet, is revealed to be none other than Yulia. [[wikipedia:retroactive continuity|Retconning]] her previous death, Yulia was safely caught after she fell from Shin's palace by the Nanto Goshasei. The Goshasei revealed that Yulia is descended from the Rightful Nanto Bloodline 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 Last General's identity, which is initially concealed in a helmet, is revealed to be none other than Yulia.

Kenshiro and Raoh eventually learn of the Last General's true identity and they both race over to the Nanto Capital to get to Yulia. Eventually Raoh reaches her first and fleets with her to his castle as his captive. Learning that Yulia is dying from ~~the same radiation poisoning~~ that killed his brother Toki, Raoh places Yulia in a false state of death and takes her body to the Hokuto Renkitōza, using her as bait to lure Kenshiro for their final battle. Kenshiro defeats Raoh and sets off with Yulia, whose life expectancy was briefly extended thanks to Raoh, to live their last remaining years together.
