info 🐰
Juniper is a wide-eyed, bushy-tailed young woman who is eager to see the world and prove herself independently of her chaotic (but loving) family of adventurers. She very much remains full of childlike wonder, having in a sense grown up sheltered even if she is rather well-traveled. Still, she's quite good at going with the flow, and embraces ever-changing circumstances. She does her very best to be dependable, especially for the sake of her family, but she is very much prone to daydreaming and forgetfulness. Wait, what is she supposed to be doing again?
Standing at 5'7" (not including her ears), Juniper is strong, her physique having been forged by her adolescent years training with her family. She has coppery brown hair with white streaks that resemble that of the fey creature known as the Almiraj... and not to mention the leporine ears atop her head. Her green eyes are the namesake of the name the Alchemighty chose to give her upon her adoption... Though she has since forfeited the color in one to pay a price during her own adventures. It's probably fine.
Juniper tends to be bold with her attire, often sporting colorful fabrics or fun patterns, as an homage to the vibrant realm that so shaped her childhood. At her hip, she keeps two trinkets that came away with her from her time in the Feywild - an oni doll, and a pocket-sized home for a fairy (fairy not included).
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.
CHARM OF THE MONARCH
As the crowned Witchlight Monarch, Juniper can magically don her regalia, causing a crown of spectral butterflies to sit upon her head, and large butterfly wings to sprout on her back, allowing her to fly.
When she was a young child, Juniper and her family were abducted by a coven of hags. Their rescue came with the arrival of a group of adventurers called the Alchemighty. Though Juniper’s parents were ultimately lost in the confrontation with the coven, the Alchemighty took her in as their own.
Growing up in the fledgling guild’s keep in the Hollow Wilds, a mysterious forest in its own right, Juniper was raised closely by the group’s druid, and would take turns training and adventuring with its other members. Over time, 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.
Juniper’s longing for the realm she had seen in her childhood grew ever stronger, too, as did the echoes of fey laughter in her head. The druid she had come to know as Mom 1 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, which had finally returned to the Material Plane after its last appearance eight years ago.
At the carnival, she met many new friends, Mister Witch and Mister Light themselves, and was even crowned the Witchlight Monarch. Soon, she and her new friends would learn that the carnival was plagued by various ill machinations set in motion by the Hourglass Coven, and at last she embarks on a journey into the Feywild... Though one that treads a path that dangerously echoes her time missing in the realm as a child.
Together with Cleopatra, a bard who worked for the Carnival, and Pawawrin, a cleric who similarly traveled to the Carnival seeking the Fey, Juniper ventured through the realm of Prismeer, beginning with the swampy lands of Hither, Bavlorna Blightstraw's domain. Along the way, they met its many storied denizens and learn of the coven's misdeeds, ultimately promising... pretty much everyone they'd met that they would free the realm of the hags' clutches. Among other shenanigans, the trio freed one of Queen Titania's trusted knights, met and earned the tentative allyship of a troupe of leporine thieves (no relation to Juniper), started a bullywug and pixie revolution, helped a forlorn bard regain his heart, and ultimately defeated Bavlorna Blightstraw herself to free the domain of her inluence... though not without learning that Juniper may not be as free from her past as she (and her family) would like to be. Hags can be rather spiteful creatures, after all.
