Julia Bory

Julia Bory is a recurring character in Magic Funhouse. She took care of Arlo while he was in his coma state.

Appearance
Mrs. Bory is an elderly woman with blue eyes and long gray hair. She sometimes uses a walker, but it seems like she doesn’t truly need it to walk.

Personality
Mrs. Bory appears to be a kind old woman with a knack for breaking and entering, but has actually murdered a number of people, primarily working as an American spy in Nazi Germany during World War 2. She takes care of Arlo like a son, and looked after him and told him stories while he was in a coma.

History
Mrs. Bory worked as a spy in Germany during World War 2. She and her then boyfriend created an orphanage for Nazi children, including the daughter of one of Hitler’s closest confidantes. The two had a plan to get the information out of the girl by poisoning her food one night, but she spit out her poisoned food, pulled a gun on the two, and shot Mrs. Bory’s beloved.

Plot
Mrs. Bory first appears in Episode 2, where it’s revealed that she packs and hands Arlo a tuna sandwich every morning, which he promptly throws out. She is frequently able to sneak into the Magic Funhouse set, despite Arlo locking all the windows and doors in the building to prevent this from happening. She continues to appear and offer the cast tuna sandwiches throughout Season 1.

In the final episode of Season 1, Mrs. Bory is seen in the background of a scene in which a furious Arlo, fuming after learning that the friends he trusted had been hiding the fact of his parents’ death from him, plays videogames. Mrs. Bory and her friend speak above Arlo, and, at his suggestion, begin to make out. Arlo receives a call from Dave, who wants to come over, and, looking at Mrs. Bory, suggests that they meet up at Dave’s house.

Arlo Dittman
Mrs. Bory is the woman charged with looking after Arlo after his parents abandoned him in a coma. She treats Arlo like a son, giving him lunch and a place to stay, and he treats her somewhat like a mother.
