## Background

Juniper is an exceptionally powerful spirit that has been the leader of The Radiant Council for eons. During her time leading The Council, she was worshipped by thousands of people as she was seen as Gykallis's prophet, despite Gykallis himself despising her. Despite Gykallis trying to get rid of Juniper countless times, she always comes back through the use of The Archway. Her main goal for most of her existence was to eliminate any other Gods that were not Gykallis, as she believed he was the strongest god there was. She had also been directly responsible for Zakveyl's capture and Grape Prime's creation before Farcombe came to be.

When The Meteor first appeared, Juniper became strangely fixated (due to its connection with Xal'gyron) once a team of scouts came back after investigating it. She suddenly ordered that she leave the The Meadow and move to Farcombe with Grape Prime to monitor it. She eventually ordered all of the remaining Council members to move out of The Meadow, and most of them were never heard from again.

During Seasons 3-4, Juniper would join a group known as McEco and eventually take over the organization for herself, disposing of the previous leader by reincarnating them as The Shroom Master. She would also let Prime do most of the investigations on The Meteor, as she still did not want to make contact with a "false god".

Juniper played a more active role in Seasons 5-6, where she opposed Zakveyl on the side of Gykallis. This escalated to the point where Juniper became Gykallis's champion and tried to take complete control over the Overworld after Au'ora was killed in Finale Part I. However after this plan failed and Gykallis permanently cut off contact with Juniper, she went into a full on crisis for another deity to latch onto. This lead her to find The Watcher, who she linked herself with at the beginning of Season 7.

As of Season 8, Juniper has made her obsession with The Watcher far more... apparent. She created a large shrine dedicated to The Watcher in the middle of Farcombe and eventually used this portal to summon Watcher Prime.

## Personality

Juniper was known to be a master manipulator, even going so far as to having the own god she worships bend to her will out of desperation. She tries to have an inviting, sickly sweet demeanor at first to lull her victims into a false sense of security, before slowly indoctrinating them into her sick and twisted ideals. The grip that she has over her subjects is extremely tight and tries to restrict control their entire lives. However after Zakveyl found her again, she completely fucking lost it, and with it her charade with the residents of Farcombe. In its place however was an excess of pride and self absorption, which drove away the few people in her life that didn't hate her. Any semblance of sanity had faded away from her long ago, with no hopes of it ever coming back.

Juniper is extremely violent to those who even slightly violate her personal moral code in ways people would consider overkill. It is common for her and other cult members to participate in torturing those who have wronged her organization, to the point where the victims crave death.

At the beginning of Season 7, Juniper had gone from a terrifying threat to becoming extremely reclusive, not making any contact with anyone since her defeat in The War of The Gods. However once she linked herself with The Watcher, she immediately reverted back to her old insane self once again.

## Appearance

Juniper's current body possesses horns, a long green cloak leftover from her Radiant Council outfit and has leaves all over her body. She's 5'8 but is extremely thin. Juniper can be easily recognized by the crazed look that is always in her eyes. She has a roman numeral mark on her upper right arm that reads V that was left over from Vesta's body.

In Season 7, Junipers left eye became blinded, and the sun between her horns became shattered. Her clothes also got absolutely wrecked after she was defeated during the end of the War of the Gods.

## Abilities

Juniper has always been able to do a few things, regardless of what body she is inhabiting:

* Sense the essence of a person, and deduce what said essence does
* Being able to charm people into doing what she wants
* Has innate talent in preforming magic and spellcasting

In her current body, Juniper has had the following powers from the moment she was reborn:

* The ability to communicate with plant life
* Being able to grow plant life at will
* Making wings made out of leaves when she needs them
* Anomalous leaves that have life giving properties

However, with Juniper becoming the champion of Gykallis, she gained several other powers:

* The ability to hear things from far away via the plants nearby
* Growing plants in the shape of useful structures (ie: bridges)
* The ability to make a portal to another place via plants (think of how the portal gun works, but its with basically any plant life)
* Being able to manipulate animals into doing her bidding
* Reversing time to up to a day
* A larger ego (side effect)

Juniper did lose most of these abilities when she lost her status as Gykallis's champion in Season 7, but is still able to control wildlife and create the plant portals and plant structures. However she needs to spend a lot more energy than before in order to preform these actions.

She did gain one new ability in Season 7 however, instead of just being able to sense a person's essence and deduce what it does, she can now also see them as well with her blinded eye. She can also see people's souls and spirits with the blinded eye.

## Essence of Obsession

Juniper possesses the Essence of Obsession which is an extremely powerful essence that makes the bearer stronger (especially magic wise) when an emotional bond is formed with another entity. How this works is that the Essence of Obsession leeches off the energy of the other entity, and takes it for itself. This bond can be one-sided, but one-sided bonds are weaker than ones that go both ways. This is the reason why Juniper latched onto worshipping Gykallis for so long (since he was the most powerful entity that she was aware of) until he went on vacation and never spoke to her again.

This essence was once much weaker, but because other essences from stolen bodies slowly got incorporated into the main one, it grew in power. Small parts of the original essence can still be seen in the current Essence of Obsession.
