Character Name: Juniper Veltris
Character History:

Juniper (whose birth name has been lost) was born to elven parents in a small, rural village. Unbeknownst to most, however, this village had time and time again been the victim of unsavory creatures roaming about the woods near a dangerous Fey Crossing. When she was a young child, Juniper and her family were abducted by a coven of hags, just one instance in a long chain of fey scheming that has gone on for several years...

Their rescue came with the arrival of a group of adventurers called the Alchemighty. However, Juniper’s parents were ultimately lost in the confrontation with the coven, leaving her an orphaned young girl. The Alchemighty then took her in as their own, and she took up residence in the fledgling guild’s keep in the Hollow Wilds under close watch and guidance by the group’s druid and taking turns training and going on adventures with the many experienced, well-traveled members. All the while, they discovered that her time in the Feywild had given her more than just her leporine features: it had given her a tendency to lose command over her emotions in combat and made her a conduit of wild magic that she could not control.

As she continued to grow and hone adventuring skills and abilities of her own, Juniper’s longing for the realm she had seen in her childhood grew ever stronger, as did the echoes of fey laughter she would periodically hear in her head. The druid she had come to know as her mother (or Mom 1), with her own tragic experiences around the Feywild, forbid her from venturing into the realm… And Juniper, in a fit of rebellious teenaged rage, ran away in search of a way to connect to the Fey, namely: the famed Witchlight Carnival, known for its Fey attractions, carnival hands, and overall shenanigans.

Now, she's met many new friends and even Mister Witch and Mister Light themselves, embarking on a journey that quickly has her treading a path that dangerously echoes her time missing in the Feywild as a young child as she meets the denizens of Prismeer, who have been subjected to the rule of the Hourglass Coven, who have usurped the Fey realm's original ruler Zybilna. All for the sake of fulfilling her wish to prove herself as an adventurer and to go on a journey that she can write home about... and to save Prismeer and the Witchlight Carnival!

Canonpoint: Within the Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign module, Juniper and friends have entered Prismeer and are adventuring in Hither.

Guild Choice:

Wanderers Guild. While logic and her preference for giant axes might conceivably draw her towards the Warriors Guild, at the end of the day Juniper longs to use her brawn and physical fortitude (and her two brain cells) in order to explore new places and go on fun adventures. It would probably also do her some good to practice not solving everything with brute force and picking up some skills that don't involve raging and whacking things.

Element Choice: Earth, Wind, Light (in order of preference)

🥕 Barbarian Rage
Juniper enters a rage when in battle, fighting with a primal ferocity. When enraged, her strength and power improve, and she becomes resistant to forms of physical damage.

🥕 Wild Surge
A wild sort of magical energy within Juniper erupts whenever she enters a rage, resulting in random magic effects ranging from accidental teleportation to elemental conjuration.

🥕 Magic Awareness
Juniper has a keen awareness of the presence of concentrated magic in the form of spells or magic items within a certain distance of her person.

🥕 The return of everything and everyone that has been taken by the Hourglass Coven and their allies

Strengths & Weaknesses: (3) max of each, max 500 words total.

🥕 Strengths
Friendly and outgoing: Cheerful, sunshine, the whole shebang, and she'll do her best to make sure no one feels excluded or lonely while she's around. She isn't shy in the least about approaching people and talking them up.

Adventurous and curious: Because of her upbringing, she approaches most everything with a very adventurous and heroic spirit. She did her best to memorize the Alchemighty's Adventuring Handbook.

Compassionate: Despite what tragedies mark her early childhood, Juniper caries the belief that she can do her best to make sure nobody suffers like she did - again, an influence from her parents. She always wants to help and do the right thing.

🥕 Weaknesses
Forgetful and easily distracted: She is soooo easily distracted and is so, so forgetful. Head empty, no thoughts. Thinking about butterflies and bunnies and fairies. It is partially a consequence of her time in the Feywild affecting her, but also a consequence of her having a negative Intelligence score.

Emotional: She leans into her emotions heavily, especially when she's angry. Absolutely no chill with this one. Whatever she feels, she feels strongly, and it takes effort to get her back to some kind of baseline.

Rash and impulsive: Juniper is a very eager person and this often means she acts based purey on her emotions and what "feels right," without thinking too much about how her actions might affect others and/or the grander scheme of things.
