Juliette Ferrars, also known by her birth name of Ella Sommers, is the main protagonist and a narrator of the Shatter Me Series. 'With the ability to torture and then kill anyone she touches, Juliette is either a danger to society or an invaluable weapon of the evil totalitarian Reestablishment government that has sprung up in the wake of supply shortages in this near-future world.'. She has a lethal touch and was locked up in an Asylum for over 264 days. Juliette was born to Evie and Maximillian Sommers. Her sister Emmaline was discovered to be the first Unnatural, and her parents gave up both of their daughters to the Reestablishment for scientific research for those who were Unnatural were key in the Reestablishment's plans. She stayed at a facility for one month until her memory was erased was sent to her adoptive parents Eric and Evelyn Ferrars, who were childless and informed to never tell Juliette she was adopted, from the age of five to fourteen.

Personality
Juliette starts off the series as a scared, self-loathing girl, being abused, unloved, and made to feel like a monster her entire life. During her time spent in isolation, she develops compulsions to count things and write the same words over and over, only to cross them out. After she's freed, her depression, anxiety, and compulsive behaviors persist. She struggles to trust others and has difficulty making friends, though she has a deep sense of loyalty to the few people she's close to.

When first brought to the military base at Sector 45, Juliette is repulsed by the extravagant living conditions, which she sees as theft from civilians living in poverty. She reveals a rebellious norm when she refuses the expensive clothes and hot meals provided for her, proving that she's socially conscious and unwilling to sacrifice her ethics for comfort and luxury.

Juliette experiences affection and intimacy for the first time when Adam declares his love for her. Though their eventual breakup was difficult, Juliette grows more confident and independent as a result, realizing that Adam's protectiveness was keeping her from fulfilling her potential. Though the psychological damage she's suffered from doesn't go away overnight, Juliette starts to overcome her trauma and becomes more brave, ambitious, and determined to take down the Reestablishment.

Through her experiences could easily have made her bitter and hateful, it's an indication to her endurance that Juliette always maintains her kind and generous nature. She is compassionate, humble, understanding, and always willing to help those in need. Seeing someone vulnerable awakens a protective instinct in her. She tries to help a little boy in a grocery store who's being humiliated by his mother because the situation reminds her of her own mother's cruel treatment of her. Similarly, her perception of Warner changes when she realizes he's been abused by his father.

She is also aware of her flaws, and sometimes too aware.

Appearance
Juliette is said to be hauntingly beautiful, a fact that even Supreme Commander Anderson does not deny. Her beauty is often described as angelic, innocent-like. She has blue-green eyes and long dark brown hair that falls to her waist. She is described as short and petite, standing at 5'3, and with a weight of 105lbs in Shatter Me. It is stated by Warner that she has a nice figure. In Restore Me, 'Juliette has claimed her position of supreme commander, a title she had to kill to obtain, and is tasked with leading Sector 45 into the new world.', Juliette cuts her hair short, almost as short as Warner's haircut at the beginning of the book. In everybody's view it made Juliette lose her "innocent" look and made her look somewhat more sophisticated. Warner stated that the buzz cut defined her cheekbones much more and made her look mature and authoritative. In Defy Me, Juliette's hair grows back to her original length after Evie Sommers applies a chemical to make Juliette's hair grow faster.

Special Abilities
Lethal touch: Juliette has the ability to kill someone with her touch. Her skin acts as a defense mechanism and "sucks" the life out of someone. She receives a rush of energy as she does this. Kenji thinks of her as a Venus fly trap because she attracts her prey with her striking looks and then digests their energy with a simple touch. She developed this power after being adopted by Evelyn and Eric Ferrars.

Super strength: Juliette also has the power to destroy inorganic material through her superhuman touch. She has punched through concrete and steel and she can cause earthquakes by punching the ground. Juliette demonstrates the power to also crumble objects--like metal--just by squeezing it in her hands. Later in the series, she learns to project her power such that she can crush objects and even move them simply by moving her hands without touching them.

Invulnerability: Juliette is immune to physical harm (e.g. bullets) because of the nature of her power: it is derived from her very being, her bones, her blood, her skin. As long as she is in a state of electrum, her powers "on", she is invulnerable to physical harm. An example of her invulnerability is when she was on her mission to kill Anderson.

Aaron Warner
Aaron and Juliette at first would have a complicated relationship, as she was used to knowing him as a monster. As they get closer Juliette begins to fall for Warner and soon become into a unbreakable relationship until they actually break up. "you can't call it unbreakable anymore. lol" Later in the books, they do get back together and Aaron proposes to Juliette.

Adam Kent
Adam had known Juliette since they were still in school. He had been searching for her since she was locked. In the army, Adam figured out that he could touch Juliette, and the two started a relationship. Later, they grow apart and Juliette breaks up with him. Adam was brokenhearted by their separation, but realizes that she has changed, and is no longer the shy, quiet girl that needs to be protected, and soon begins to accept the truth.

Kenji Kishimoto
Kenji and Juliette are very close friends, if not best friends. Multiple times, Kenji has comforted her with her "boy problems" or even problems in general. Although Kenji is energetic and a goofball, he can be serious when needed. Even when Juliette doubted everyone in Restore Me, he was the only one she trusted. He has provided relationship advice for her, and even though the two joke about liking each other, their relationship is strictly platonic.

James Kent
Juliette first met James when her and Adam escaped from Warner. Adam had bought James his own house, and James has lived there for most of his life. Juliette and the ten year old have a special bond that cannot be broken by even Adam. James confronts her about her "Ability" in the tunnels of Omega Point, then states that he would never leave her side. It is often said that James has a small crush on our friend Juliette.
