Julie Mackay is the daughter of Grantville dentist Henry Sims, who captivates the attention of Scottish Captain Alexander MacKay when he first enters Grantville High School early in the book 1632. She is a very skilled rifler and had been training for the Olympic biathlon. In the latter part of 1632, she is exhibited as a ruthless sniper, and one of a handful of women capable of passing the physical requirements of the Grantville army. She eventually married MacKay.
In 1633, Julie later traveled with Alex along with their newly born daughter to Scotland, serving alongside with Alex as potential individuals in providing support for the Grantville delegation to London, should the worst comes to happen to them, which did in the form of imprisonment in the Tower of London. In 1634: The Baltic War, Julie and Mackay reunited with Harry Lefferts and his rescue party in planning a escape for the Grantville delegation. During the planned escaped, Julie provided sniper fire for the escapees, killing the Tower's guardsmen from the opposite side of the Thames River. She and Alex later traveled with half of the escapees including Oliver Cromwell, in order to avoid pursuit from the English authorities.
