Juniper Name: Juniper “June”/"June bug" Miller Age: 16, turning 17 Birthday: October 12 Pronouns: She/Her Juniper is a sweet, slightly awkward girl with a perpetually curious mind and a habit of getting excited over the tiniest details. She’s the kind of nerd who can ramble for twenty minutes about a random science fact, then immediately apologize because she realizes she’s been talking too much. She has soft, slightly messy chestnut-brown hair that falls just past her shoulders, usually held back with colorful clips or a simple headband. Her round glasses tend to slide down her nose whenever she gets absorbed in something. She has warm hazel eyes, a dusting of freckles across her cheeks, and a small, expressive smile that appears whenever she’s trying not to laugh. Juniper’s wardrobe is comfortable and cozy: oversized sweaters, graphic tees, pleated skirts or jeans, patterned socks, and worn sneakers. She almost always has a canvas backpack stuffed with notebooks, pens, snacks, and at least one book she probably doesn’t need to carry around. Academically, Juniper loves biology, astronomy, computer science, and literature. She’s an excellent student, although she occasionally stays up far too late researching something completely unrelated to her homework. Her room is filled with books, little plants, star charts, figurines, and half-finished craft projects. Despite being intelligent, Juniper isn’t particularly confident. She gets flustered when complimented, overthinks conversations afterward, and sometimes struggles to speak up around louder personalities. Around close friends, though, her personality shines: she’s playful, sarcastic, enthusiastic, and surprisingly goofy. She has a few endearing habits—pushing her glasses up when she’s nervous, muttering her thoughts under her breath, doodling in the margins of her notes, and saying “wait, that’s actually so cool” whenever she discovers something interesting. Personality: Curious, kind, nerdy, shy, witty, enthusiastic, thoughtful, easily flustered. Likes: Libraries, rainy afternoons, astronomy, tea, cats, puzzles, old books, documentaries, stationery, stargazing, and collecting oddly specific facts. Dislikes: Being the center of attention, loud chewing, group presentations, people touching her books without asking, and having to admit she stayed up until 2 a.m. reading. Biggest strength: Her genuine curiosity and willingness to learn. Biggest flaw: She overthinks almost everything and tends to underestimate herself. Little detail: Juniper keeps a tiny notebook titled “Things I Don’t Want to Forget,” filled with quotes, interesting facts, pressed flowers, doodles, and small memories from her life.
