Juniper

Juniper is a Harengon botany student who journeyed to Arabella to study the new plant life and report back on her findings, with a promise of renown and recognition for being the first discoverer of much of the new flora.

## Personality

Juniper is a somewhat naive young woman, with a strong fixation on plant life. She has little affection for animals, only interested in flora. She often acts before thinking things through, for better or worse, and would prefer to talk things through rather than fight - but won't hesitate once fighting begins. Juni also has a tendency to put others in danger accidentally, with tunnel vision for defeating an enemy combatant. She remains quite loyal to companions, even when it would no longer be in her best interests.

## Campaign History

Juniper begins the campaign with a bright view and excited outlook, an eager and often thoughtless view of exploring, cataloguing, naming, and claiming the new world.

Quickly, her companions make serious trouble and put them all in danger, even becoming social outcasts in the main settlement. The trend continues as they antagonize just about everybody they meet, even while Juniper tries to manage hostility. It's not long before Juniper is just trying to put out the flames everywhere the party passes through, but still tries to stick with the team she was sent up with, her fellow researchers, though they seem to have little interest in research.

Juniper takes some serious risks to rescue Vimble from Lazor, causing Lazor and his Sleagle to hunt her down at every opportunity. Juniper then tries to cover for Xana's various evils, trying to keep things together, and they end up even more hated. Even after separating from Vimble and Xana, too many people associate Juniper with the things they did to let her go, and she remains hunted or antagonized all while desperately trying to explain the situation - rarely with any success.

## Relationships

### Party Members

Juniper is fascinated by Piccolo, as he is a plant.

### NPCs

She has a rivalry with Buddy, a zoologist. They both seem interested in each other, but professionally opposed, and somewhat antagonistic.

Juniper is somewhat infatuated with Red, due to Big Woman Hot syndrome.

Gayle and Juniper have a friendly and even flirtatious relationship. Gayle may be one of the characters Juniper is most emotionally invested in, despite being in the rivalling research team. Gayle agreed she'd signal for Juni in the new world via a spore storm. Gayle has left Juni messages and assisted her multiple times.
