Juniper Sagethorn

[Juniper Sagethorn]

Character Name: Juniper Sagethorn


Age: Aphen (475)


Species: Faerie


Court: Solitary (Pooka)


Occupation: Mead Brewer


Appearance

• The first thing most would notice about Juniper is that she has long, fiery red hair that reaches down past her backside. It falls in loose waves and curls down her back and shoulders. Upon her head on the right side is a medium sized fascinator-type of headband comprised of various twigs, branches, and dried juniper berries (hence her namesake). She tends to favor clothes that require the least amount of fuss, and provides the most ease of movement. Her clothing is woven cloth, dyed various shades of green to help her blend into the environment. She wears leggings that appear to be leaves, simple shoes, and a longer, tunic-type top made of more flowy material. She has larger, rounded, doe-like eyes framed with plush, dark eyelashes and groomed, naturally arched brows. She was born with one blue eye, and one green eye. Her nose is a bit large, but is still strangely proportionate to her face which is more round. Her top and bottom lips are full, and are a light baby pink in color. Her skin is porcelain pale, unmarred by scars or other markings, and she has dimples in both cheeks.
   
  
• She moves with an almost feline grace through any sort of rough, forest terrain. She can also move silently if need be. When she does speak, her voice is calming; pleasant. When people approach her or even when they see her from a distance, they suddenly feel this warm, fuzzy feeling. It's familiar somehow, and very pleasant. Her posture is fairly lax, and she can often be found lazing about on a tree branch or a moss covered rock when she isn't working on brewing her mead.
  

Personality

• She's a friendly, semi-introverted Fae with a curiosity for Humans that sometimes gets her into trouble. Her smile is infectious, with dimples in both cheeks showing in full force. She has an immobilizing fear of anything remotely metallic, and prefers the comforts of her natural habitat. She's got a very sound, keen knowledge of plants, particularly those that could pose a danger to others. While she is able to track both Humans and animals, she's not nearly as good at it as most of her Fae brethren. She is an excellent navigator, and knows her own home forest like the back of her hand.
  

Background

• Juni was raised in a fairly normal Fae household. Several siblings, loving parents. Her life was almost...boring in comparison to some of her friends and neighbors. She's always been so curious, and has always had an affinity for learning about new places and new things, and always had a thirst for adventure.
  
• Present Day: While she still clings to her love of adventure, she's much more cautious than she used to be. She has made a name for herself in the meadery business, and has been known to trade or sell her mead to those of both the Seelie and Unseelie Courts for their lavish affairs.
