Yes. Her mom might be Native American/Chinese to explain the "Chang" but I don't think they've ever elaborated on that, and they're not biologically related.

@Darthwyn

Yeah, that was Jaycee. Even than she was still pretty generic.

So she’s just a plain white girlfriend then?

What’s her father?

Michelle was half native american, half chinese.

Julia is full native american I believe, but she's also adopted.

It's not clear who her original parents were.

Edit: They also seem to be playing her as younger too. I thought she was in her early twenties.

Michelle Chang's father is from Hong Kong and her mother was Native American.

I don't think there's any information on Julia's biological parents except that she was abandoned at a Native American settlement, and given how wishywashy Japanese developers like to be on this sort of topic she's probably whatever you'd prefer her to be ethnically.

Okay so she was abandoned by birth with her origins unknown & ended up being raised by a couple comprised of a Native American woman & a guy from Hong Kong.

No. She was raised by a Native American/Chinese woman.

Michelle, the Native American/Chinese woman, is her mom and was playable in 1 and 2, but the Tekken 3 timeskip happened and we can't have women older than 25 playable so she was retired in favor of her adopted daughter Julia, who's parentage is unknown.

[up][up] To be fair really only have a handful of old characters in general in regards to Tekken with only one of them being an actual senior citizen.

I always liked how Julia was a Native American raised in a Chinese household who chose to be come a Mexican wrestler. It's like they decided her character via dartboard.

And now she's got the mannerisms of a Japanese school girl.

She's going to be the world map of character development soon.

There's a reason I refer to her as the kung fu fighting native american luchadora.

BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING ACCURATE!!!!

Note: I always refer to her as that in time with the chorus of this song.

Look japan likes its leading ladies to be some form of Japanese/Asian

IE Jill Valentine is suppose to b French/Japanese

Julia is probably actually related to Michelle with how many physical similarities they have

and they already used Identical Stranger for Jaycee

Well, now we finally know the real reason why Neagen's in Tekken 7. He literally forced Harada to put him in.

Also it should be noted that TTT 2 is highly uncanon. So as far as character goes Jaycee didnt exist.

It's not very often you can say a character's direction is literally all over the map.

You know, playing Ace Combat 5 and 7 recently has made me realise exactly what they were going for with Tekken 7's story framing device. It's trying to be Ace Combat. Same framing device of a journalist (Or civilian) investigating the event the playable characters take part in from the outside, the same emphasis on still images, focus on the horrors of war, even the same kind of dialogue and voice acting.

If that's the case, then they really didn't have to replicate the same voice acting. As far I'm concern the narrator's voice acting is the dealbreaker.

Good grief, this girl wears way too many hats.

Its either 7 or TTT 2. The last few games knock the rest out of the water gameplay wise.

[up][up] I think we get that you have an irrational hate boner for 7.

Its kinda getting tiresome and makes the convos here pointlessly negative.
