While Julie was captured in Octo Valley, the Octarians had done a few experiments with their gadgets and weapons on her. One such device was a special pair of Octo Goggles that heightens the wearer's battle capabilities and makes them more obedient to Octavio. The final experiment turned into a success, changing Julie into a fierce, dark, and merciless warrior that Octavio dubbed "Jewel Sniper".
By the time the New Squidbeak Splatoon (Agents 1 & 2) and Team Splashdown (Icarus, Gene, and Rose) caught up to Octavio, "Jewel Sniper" was poised and prepared to fight to the death. Fortunately, a small bit of Julie still resided inside of her, which grew stronger when she saw Icarus on the battlefield. At one point during the final battle, the goggles took a direct hit from Agent 2's Hero Charger, disabling its functions and slowly bringing Julie back to her senses (unfortunately, this is also what damaged Julie's eyesight, which is why she has to wear her specially prepared and prescribed Full Moon Specs today).
Some time later (during Splatoon 2's heyday), Julie would start to feel something familiar inside of her if she ever got upset at something. It would especially get bad if something was happening with Icarus that really got her angry. Her anger would sometimes change her completely, albeit temporarily, turning her back into "Jewel Sniper" (minus the "obey Octavio" thing). It wasn't long before everyone put the pieces together and realized that she had now developed an alter ego. Julie Bubblebottom, the shy and timid fourth member of Team Splashdown, had an alter ego that was skillful, dark, and merciless; "Jewel Sniper".....and she was afraid of ever letting her out ever again...
Partially inspired by Season 0 of Yu-Gi-Oh and partially inspired by https://www.deviantart.com/darkmario2 's character, Darkness.
...And, yes, I gave Julie a surname...and she hates it for obvious reasons.
