I think that Gilda actually has feelings for Julius but she changes him for her own personal reasons. She had enough feelings to want to change him and add him to her “family”. In doing so, Gilda is being selfish because Julius really didn’t have a choice in the matter. Just because Gilda could look into his soul and see that he was lonely, doesn’t mean he wanted to live forever and feed on blood to survive. It seems as if Gilda is continuously moving from place to place once she finds someone she has a connection with. This time though, Bird has an influence on Gilda since she comes back to visit. Gilda doesn’t like to kill or change innocent people for no reason and I feel that Bird had a lot to do with Julius’ changing into a vampire. I also think that Gilda had better connections with people she has met in past cities and that Julius necessarily isn’t the best fitting human to be turned into a vampire. This is due to the fact that he has much stronger feelings for Gilda then she has for him.
I feel if Julius had more time to think about if Gilda turning him was a good decision for him, his answer may have been different. I feel that Gilda does not make the right decision because she was doing it for her own reasons. Since Bird left her and she had no one else to accompany her in life, she decided it would be a good idea if she turned Julius. Giving Julius a new life doesn’t make up for the times she has killed. Her intentions seem to be put ahead of what might be the best for Julius. The decision to turn him seemed to happen so quickly that I feel Gilda uses her power as a vampire to her benefit and not for Julius’ best interests.
