I'm not sure there ought to be any official anime character for Julia, but I'm happy for there to be unofficial characters like these. You can use elements of the Julia logo for non-commercial purposes and these kinds of usages certainly seem to qualify as fair use. As a matter of personal taste, I like the second character better than the first. I definitely do not want the copyright for these characters – that should remain with you and you can put them under any license you want on them. The CC BY-NC-SA seems like a fine choice.
