## History

Juniper was born to Dewpetal and Russetclaw, not knowing that both parents came from different clans. When she was 4 moons old she was taken from camp with her two siblings, Quailkit and Timberkit, and were left in the cold to die by Tigerfrost, who knew they were half-clan. Dreamkit (that was her name at the time) was the only one to survive the night. When Tigerfrost was exiled, he found Dreamkit and took her with him, renaming her Juniper. When she joined Tiger's group she was often looked down upon by the older cats as she was much younger than them, but she managed to gain their respect when she was trained by Tiger to be an exceptional hunter and fighter. She never knew that Tiger had killed her siblings. She thought of Tiger as her father and looked up to him, always being loyal. However, when the group grew stronger an attack was launched on Skyclan. Juniper never knew her father, now Russetstar, was Skyclan's leader. She ruthlessly fought on Tiger's side until she came into a battle with Russetstar. Russetstar was about to claw her cheek when their gazes locked and Russetstar realised she was his daughter. She refused to believe this of course, protesting that Tiger was her father. Then Russetstar pushed her into a ditch so she wouldn't get hurt by his cats. When Tiger was killed, Juniper was lost in grief. Tiger had always been like a father figure to her, until she was pulled out of the ditch and sent to Shadowclan to be with her mother. Her mother was overjoyed to see her, calling her by the name 'Dreamkit'. Dewpetal told her that was what her real name was, but Juniper told her it was Juniper. The clan was wary of her, and Juniper didn't particularly like it under the pines. She was still sad that Tiger was killed, until her mother told her that he had killed her siblings. She was shocked with disbelief but her mother told her it was why he was exiled. She refused to believe it still, until she talked properly to her father for the first time. She loved it under the trees in Skyclan and a young tom named Oakblaze grew closer with her until they were best friends. The clan accepted her willingly, and let her keep her name as Juniper. Well, most accepted her willingly. Some were still weary as she helped wound their clanmates during the battle, but Russetstar told them that Juniper had no other choice at that time and they quietened down a little.

After the previous deputy died in a border skirmish with Thunderclan, Juniper was made deputy by Russetstar. By now, all of the clan had excepted her and she was a valuable warrior of the clan. Her and Oakblaze had four kits: Dreamkit, Quailkit, Timberkit and Doekit.

A few years later, Russetstar died and Juniper was made leader. She was allowed to keep her name as Juniper, but formally she is called Juiperstar.

## Relationships

### Tiger

Juniper and Tiger's relationship was like father and daughter. Juniper often looked up to Tiger and always accepted his advice. She would always support his view, no matter what it was. Tiger was usually busy leading the group and sometimes snapped at her when she was an apprentice, but Juniper didn't mind.

### Dewpetal

When Juniper met her mother again, her mother already had a new mate and kits. Juniper never really thought she fit in with them, and she felt trapped under the dark pines. Her mother loved her, but spent more time with the kits and they barely talked.

### Russetstar

Russetstar and Juniper's relationship is strong, but not as strong as Juniper's and Tiger's was. Russetstar doesn't know much about being a father, and he is often overprotective of her. However, Juniper is grateful that he welcomed her to the clan and made her feel included.

### Oakblaze

Juniper and Oakblaze met when Juniper joined Skyclan. Oakblaze showed her around the territory, showed her how to hunt and fight in trees and showed her where the best places to relax were. Juniper and Oakblaze were inseprable at the start, as they were very close friends, never leaving each other's side. Now they are starting to become more than friends, but Juniper doesn't want kits yet.

### Shadow

Shadow was Tiger's mate before she died on a thunderpath on the way to the attack with Skyclan. Shadow never really wanted anything to do with Juniper, and juniper never really saw her as a mother figure. Her foster-brothers and sisters were never that close with her either, except for Smoke, who she stayed around when she was with the rogues.

### Smoke, Stripes and Ash

Juniper's foster brothers and sisters were never really that close. She sometimes went hunting with Smoke or taught him battle moves but the three usually stayed together, and they stayed with Shadow. Shadow didn't really like Juniper playing with her kits.

## Trivia

* I'm maybe going to give her a warrior name of Juniperdream
* Her mother was originally going to be killed by Tiger
* She was going to be mates with Swift, a rogue from Tiger's group
* This was originally going to happen in the 'Trail of stars' series but it can't because there would be too much going on (Rice's group, Juniper's story, Shadeflight, Sparkeye and Foxspring etc..)
* She was originally going to be a dark grey tabby.
