Juni Takeda

Princess Juni is 17 years old, but is considered young in her realm of Paladin and has the appearance of a young woman. Throughout the years, she rose to great importance; first as the loyal stepdaughter of Sora Leda, then as her enemy, tearing herself away from her grasp and freeing her home realm of Edenia. She also led an army into Summoners to combat any chance of Tai Lung rising to power again.
She shared a subtle love interest with former champion Nangi, even after he was murdered by the wolf army. Although she was loyal to Tai Lung for most of her life, she eventually betrayed him and aligned herself with the priests. Her betrayal was mainly the result of growing doubts as to the morality of her actions and resulting his feelings of guilt, as well as anger at the discovery of the truth about her past and her biological father, the late King Jerrod.
She was not really the daughter of Sora Leda, but in fact his stepdaughter; she was adopted by Queen Celia, as an infant, to protect her from a wolf army after they killed its king, Jerrod, and kidnapped Jerrod's wife, Queen Sindel, who were Kitana's parents. Suspecting she would someday learn the truth, however, Sora instructed her sister, Lingo to create a twin for Juni; the beautiful Miko, who was actually a humanoid and clone of Juni.
