Aurea Juniper (Shining Bonds)/Tropes

Tropes that apply to Professor Aurea Juniper, written as if it were a TV Tropes page.

## Characterization and background

* **The Heroine**: The protagonist of *Shining Bonds: Starlix Burst*.

* **Brainy Brunette**: She has brown hair and is an intelligent professor.

* **Ditzy Genius**: She's bright, but not always focused. This sometimes stirs up some problems...especially when she gets called on by the Harmony Map.

* **Generation Xerox**: Apparently she is very similar to her father in terms of looks, personality, and general work.

* **Genki Girl**: She is very energetic and acts on something she has decided *immediately*.

* **Hot Scientist**: Being a female scientist and a Burst Warrior, she, often in *Starlix Burst* but toned down in the main series, may get herself all messed up due to background males flirting with her.

* **All-Loving Heroine**: Aurea normally cares for everyone and is willing to help even random strangers, especially as a Professor.
* **Deadpan Snarker**: Downplayed. She only snarks when somebody acts stupid, though not as much as *the* holder of the snarking throne.

* **Good is Not Soft**: Aurea cares for and is nice to everyone... unless you're a villain, that is.

* **Jerk With a Heart of Gold**: Sure, this magic Professor can get extremely angry at her fellow heroes for screwing up and flips out at minor insults, but she does care for her friends and has a good heart.

* **The Reliable One**: This Professor is always there when her friends need her.

* **Hair-Trigger Temper**: Up to Eleven when she gets insulted.

* **Character Tics**: Seems to be, much to Nicole's embarrassment, fond of that weird salute that her game counterpart is also prone to doing.
* **Closeted Geek**: In *Starlix Burst*, she's a closeted fan of the toddlers' show *Yo Gabba Gabba* despite being a teenager and often listens to Lance Robertson's music when nobody is looking. The others actually know very well, but don't say anything.

## Appearance

* **'80s Hair**: It thumbs its nose at gravity. When viewed from the right angle, it looks like soft-serve ice cream. This is not seen often in *Starlix Burst* due to her hair usually being down at that time.

* **Animal Motifs**: Minccino, and later Cinccino, as she has an affinity for cute Pokémon like them, and her Burst Warrior design is based on the line.
* **Color Motifs**: Despite her having a Cinccino-themed alter ego, she is primarily associated with the color green and wears a lot of it.

## Abilities

* **Light 'Em Up**: Half of Burst Cino's powers revolve around light.

* **The Ace**: One of the strongest Magic Warriors.

* **Always Someone Better**: As strong as she is, Katrina/Glitter Starburst's powers are stronger than hers.

* **Star Power**: Shown in many of her attacks.

* **Cosmic Motifs**: Is called "The Burst Warrior of Light" and uses stars to attack.

## Relationships

* **Heterosexual Life-Partners**: With Fennel, as they used to be college buddies; and her goddaughters Nanette and Marina and later Nicole, as Liam died a day after Nanette’s birth due to a traffic accident while the Daisies were moving regions.

* **Signature Mon**: A Minccino she found in Pinwheel Forest and named Cina.

* **Straight Man**: To Fennel and the other Magic Warriors. She is *not* a representative of the Elemental of Laughter, however.

* **Wacky Parent, Serious Child**: Not to an extreme, but she's definitely a lot less odd than her father, and seems exasperated by some of his behavior.
