Jules Kendall
Jules Kendall is Connie's teenage half-sister, a daughter from their father Bill's other family in Los Angeles, who comes to live with Connie in Odyssey. Talented and image-conscious, she is a gifted singer and songwriter who performs with traveling musicians and fronts her own bands, always drawn to the spotlight and dreaming of stardom. Jules has a rebellious streak to match: she sneaks out, sweet-talks her way into favors, bends the truth, and falls in with bad company like Valerie Swanson, testing Connie's patience and her house rules of school and curfews. Underneath the schemes she is lonely and afraid that everyone she trusts will leave her. Her closest friend is Buck, the reformed con artist's apprentice, and her stormy, affectionate bond with Connie - sealed over cookies dunked in orange juice - anchors her in town.
