Juno

* Juno
* Lucina

**Juno** (**ジュノ**) in the Taimanin series is the Goddess of marriage.

Juno can also transform into **Lucina** (**ルキナ**) the goddess of moonlight, mensuration and childbirth, which often results in chaos.

This Spirit, has become disinterested in marriage and acts more like a devious demon than a God. Juno appears frequently and after years of bothering Fuuma Kotaro, she has become less evil but remains annoyed of her job and lazy.

## Personality

Juno is meant to be a protector of marriage in the past but became bored and has since then become too mischievous for a goddess. Her language is foul, and she is now bored very quickly. Cursing people instead of blessing them for fun, and is a bit of a sadodere.

She is taken care of by Empusa, that counters some of her negative aspects. Juno dismisses the wishes of people praying to her as "a pain in the ass", but isn't irredeemably evil all the time.

Though overtime, she learned to respect Fuuma Kotaro slightly, she still hates him and makes this clear if they cross path. After a mocking fight over her job as marriage goddess with her friend/enemy Dakini, she has tried to work a little harder as a marriage goddess. However, this has lead to a very unhealthy lifestyle, which is compared to an overworked Japanese office worker, going on drinking benders to relax but suffering from the stress and frustration.

When turned into Lucina, she loses all inhibition and control, and is driven to make everything pregnant as a prank.

## Appearance

She has short blond hair and blue eyes.

While short and flat chested in her Juno form, becomes a tall, faceless, silver being in her Lucina form.

## History

The goddess of female marriage. She gives blessings and protection to June Brides, her power is especially enhanced in June, her patron month.

However, she has been protecting human marriages for too long and has become vicious and bored. When she appears before people, she does evil things in the name of "blessing" just to make things more fun. Many people, who have no idea of her true nature, still believe in her and pray to her for a good marriage. Spreading her magic around, she put multiple people into wedding dresses and made others want to marry them, creating total chaos.

At some point she was sealed in a Jar but freed by the A·B·G, in the year **2083**, who wished to help Angers to become Fuuma Kotaro's partner, against both their wishes. While Fuuma Kotaro, fought her with his Independent Rangers, Taimanin at home struggled with Juno's powers that put them into wedding dresses. She was defeated but promised to return next June. She appeared the same year only in a minor role around new year, as another god Bastet caused issues.

Juno appeared again in June **2084**. The next year, Kotaro was ready, with a weapon to counter her. Juno was captured by the magical item/rune Gjallarhorn of Dr. Cyclops. However, the doctor wished to take the power for himself. Hoping, he could create a new goddess of marriage, he could use to find love. A motivation, that everybody (including Independent Rangers and Juno) agreed, was beyond silly. With Dr. Cyclops defeated, Juno again was able to escape, but still wanted to have revenge.

Juno again appeared next June **2085**, to create chaos, this time with her helper Empusa. Though Empusa looked demonic, she was far more kind than Juno and later on pushed for Juno to act more like a goddess herself, calming her aggressive nature and relation towards Kotaro.

She appeared a little bit premature in the early months of year **2086**, among other gods. Together with Bastet and Ame-no-Uzume, called by Tamamo. Their spiritual energy was used to power both Fuuma Kotaro and Cervantes to fight at full strength for a friendly show fight. Afterward canonically she skipped June, and appeared the same year close to Christmas as Onisaki Kirara, had to fight Bjorn Storm.

However, the following year **2087**, Dakini, the goddess of fertility and sexual love, becomes annoyed how lazy Juno had been last year and overall the last few years. Juno's actions lead to less marriage, and with that less fertility, as Dakini concluded. Because of that, Dakini challenging her to a ritual fight, over the position. The ritual required both Juno and Dakini to pick 3 human champion, all acting as brides, wearing a bride dress. With Empusa, pushing Juno to be more active finding a champion, they made Onisaki Kirara and Shishimura Koro into one. As the group hit the Fuuma Estate, Juno stayed behind to watch TV, with Empusa to explain the situation. Kotaro was chosen as the third bride, with him rejecting the idea at first before Juno and Empusa saying that in these times a male bride is fine too. Unable to refuse, the three followed Juno, to an extradimensional space created by Dakini. In this place, nobody could face fatal damage.

As Dakini arrived, her champions were Mizuki Yukikaze, Igawa Asagi and Aishu Hebiko. They were not forced, but instead promised a vacation to Hawaii. As Kotaro began to be confused by this, Hawaii was a place of many honeymoon marriages, and since then a god of enough power over marriage or love could grant such a thing. Empusa, acted embarrassed that Juno had lost a large portion of her power and now could only send people to Atami (A Japanese resort town). With Juno starting to be annoyed that there was nothing wrong with Atami, and she would grant this to Kotaro and the others as a reward.

With things, solved, the fight began with Kotaro's group won thanks to tactics and Amamiya Shisui, which sprang forth from Kotaro's body to defeat Asagi. Dakini called the fight unfair and invalid. At first, Juno and Empusa were concerned that Kotaro was not a valid member as a bride, but Dakini rejected it and said it was okay in these times. Instead, the fact that Shisui helped out was not allowed, and a full out brawl began.

However, after a small exchange of blows, Juno began to put more power to her champions and got into the battle. Dakini laughed the matter off, and called the whole marriage matter just an excuse to see and play with Juno again. With the two making up and Dakini teasing Juno, like a little sister. Dakini also pulled a prank on Onisaki Kirara, which resulted in Kotaro feeling a strong sexual urge towards her for the next month, something that Juno and Empusa could not solve. Regardless, Emusa promised to give them tickets to Atami soon.

Juno, thanks to her horrible unhealthy lifestyle, entered irregular menstruation, which normally only occur every century. On a drinking bender with Dakini and Empusa, her own frustration about Fuuma and her role as a goddess, as well as her drunken state, transform her into Lucina. Fully out of control, she impregnates Lilinoe and makes her way to Gosha, impregnating Igawa Asagi as well, all as a form of punishment against Fuuma Kotaro, these "magical children" were virtually not real but if childbirth would occur would become real and be in part of Kotaro. Dakini and Empusa arrived too late, but helped Asagi, Lilinoe and Kotaro to fight Lucina, which made her way to Tokyo Kingdom. The maniacal laughing Lucina had thought of a way to make things even more awkward for Kotaro, and thought to impregnate Nisha Gaiza, the male childhood friend/enemy that wanted to see Kotaro dead. Unable to defeat Lucina even with the blessing of Dakini, Lucina walked off, but after a few meters lost her light and turned back to Juno, which fell asleep on the floor still drunk, asking for more alcohol. The random thugs in the city, as well as Lilinoe and Asagi, were cured of the phantom pregnancy. Most laughed the matter off with Asagi, thinking on the matter back slightly positive on the idea of having a child. Empusa, hoped that Juno would afterward improve her lifestyle with more sport, so things would not repeat themselves.

## Trivia

* Named after the ancient Roman goddess. Known as a goddess of marriage and the "home fireplace".
* Most of the wedding costumes of RPGX are connected to Juno.
* Juno did not appear in the starting year of Taimanin RPGX in 2082 because she still was sealed and June had passed already.
* Shares the name with Juno the android, but both do not use the same spelling "**ジュノ**" vs "**ユノー"**
* **Lucina** was a title or epithet given to the goddess Juno, and sometimes to Diana, in their roles as goddesses of childbirth who safeguarded the lives of women in labor.
