Juniper Cannon (b. December 12, 1982) is an American actor, singer, and musician. She is a mezzo-soprano and she plays guitar.

She plays Emily Winchester on the show, Supernatural.

## Physical Appearance

Juniper is 5'9", curvy, with dark, wavy hair and brown eyes. She wears glasses, light & colorful shirts, jeans, and various colors of converse.

## Personality

She is a very bubbly, friendly, and optimistic person. She has been through a lot in her personal and professional life, and thus, has gained quite a bit of wisdom. When her mom first got sick, she had to mature quickly in order to keep herself safe.

## Stage & Screen

Juniper began her professional acting career in Pokemon Live, the musical no one involved likes to bring up. She played Jessie of Team Rocket, alongside her (now) best friend, Andrew Rannells. Afterward, she auditioned and was cast in several productions at her Alma Mater, Ithaca College. She landed lead roles in four of such productions.

After she moved to New York City in 2004, she was cast in a limited-run off-broadway production of Mary Poppins as the title character.

Juniper auditioned for the CW show, Supernatural, in 2003, and got a callback the next year. She was officially cast as Emily Winchester after her second audition. The show has been running for 15 years and will end with this current season.

In late 2018, she auditioned for and was cast in the National Tour company of Falsettos as Trina. Currently, or as of April 2020, June plays the role of The SQUIP in the Chicago production of Be More Chill.

## Relationships

### Romantic Partners

#### Raven Page

(Raviper) The two met in high school, Raven as a junior, June as a sophomore. They started dating in that same year and have been going strong ever since. They're not married, but rather, they refer to themselves and their other relationships as "partners".

#### Christian Borle

June and Christian met at the Something Rotten! stage door in 2015. They were very friendly and flirty while she got her Playbill signed, then they ended up walking home together. They talked the whole time and set up a friendly coffee date before they got back to their apartments. In interviews, they've each said they fell in love with each other that day.

### Best Friends

#### Andrew Rannells

June and Andrew were cast as Jessie and James in Pokemon Live in 2000. After that production, the two didn't meet again until the stage door at Jersey Boys. He took one look at her and all of the horrifying memories of doing *Pokemon* on tour flooded back. They've often said that they are platonic soulmates.

#### Emily Banning

They met in New York while they were both in college. June had a friend at the medical school in NYC, and when she went to visit her, Emily literally ran into her while she was rushing to class. They joked about it, exchanged numbers, and set up a coffee date after Emily's classes.
