General
Name: Juniperus
Alias: Juniper
Species: Yagi
Gender: Female
Age: One Year
Pack: Loner
Rank: n/a
Physical
Height: 39"
Weight: 170lb
Appearance: A runt. Easily an appropriate word to describe the size of this young female, it almost appears as though she has not yet finished growing, though sadly for little Juniper this is how large she will grow. Below the average height for her species and her weight following this pattern too, she is rather delicate really, for a yagi anyway of course.
There isn’t actually anything really that screams bold in her appearance, from that small stature to the plain silvery colour of her fur. There isn’t really too much marring the coat, save for the subtle darker points of contrast upon the tip of her naturally short tail. The only clear markings are found beneath her eyes in the form of a vivid green curve and three small dots. Her eyes also stand out against the otherwise simple appearance of the young yagi, a strong red colour. Inheriting one appearance trait from her mother, Juniper has a simple set of horns that resemble those of a waterbuck, the colouring between mother and daughter however remains different with Juniper having a lighter set, the tips darkening slightly more towards the black of Cypress’ horns.
Whereas some might expect the runt to be more timid in nature, Juniper is very much the opposite, a confident female it seems that her pride is still very much intact.

Mental
Strengths:
- Intelligent - She is a quick learner with a very active mind eager to learn as much as she can.
- Observant - Pays attention to the world around her and picks up on things that can help her to develop her own skills.
- Perseverance - Even in the most challenging of circumstances she refuses to give in and will keep trying until she has achieved.
- Confident - Far from being shy, she is often bold in her actions and movements, not easily scared.
- Loyal - She will stand by those she cares about through any situation.
Weaknesses:
- Physically weak - Small for her species, she isn't as powerful as she ought to be.
- Serious - Always having been rather mature, she often takes an intellectual view on most things, leading to a somewhat strangely serious nature.
- Stubborn - She is often unwilling to accept help, or admit defeat.
- Social Skills - Whilst capable of being caring and loyal, her independent nature can make it difficult to befriend her.
- Humour - Not one to make jokes or at times really understand them.
Personality: From a young age Juniper’s bright mind had begun to show itself, maturing rather rapidly and becoming rather eager to learn. Now alone she still has plenty of things to learn aside from the things most yearlings are taught though it seems that she is coping well, often enjoying learning independently anyway when she was younger. The adults were always there if she needed them, and she did develop rather useful observation skills as she watched them and attempted to copy their actions. The skill has gone on to develop a fair amount more though and whilst she isn’t always so great at reading the emotions of others, Juniper certainly pays attention to her surroundings.
Having grown up closely with her family, she has come to care for others more than she actually realised. Although clearly capable of independence it seems she can’t deny the natural instinct to be a more sociable animal. This does come with its limits however, not wanting to spend time with just anyone, often finding it a little more difficult to begin relationships with someone new, her slight lack of social skills creates a rather formal atmosphere, perhaps down to the importance of her family in her pack, naturally they had more respect. With her family however, and should anyone else break that barrier, Juniper is a far more caring wolf than she might otherwise seem.
History: Juniper is the last pup born in a litter of three to Cypress and Arkham. This was the pairs second litter, though their first as Empress and Emperor of the Balkamir Yikaxy Empire. As such the pup began to grow with plenty of aid from those around her, not only from her parents and her elder brother Cedrus but the pack as well. Despite this however, from day one Juniper was at a risk, the runt of a litter she was far smaller than her siblings, not all pups survive, but this little fighter was determined to it seemed, she beat the odds and grew up alongside Willow and Aspen.
The three pups were evidently different in nature, Juniper evidently was a tough little thing, a fighter and despite her small size was a bold and confident youngster. Never afraid to ask questions and follow around the adults of the pack, Juniper was eager to learn and find ways to prove herself. All in all it was a fairly decent upbringing really up until the point that her father disappeared. Cedrus, the eldest of Arkham and Cypress’ children was put in charge of the pack, though unfortunately things would not continue in this manner for long at all, the pack soon being forced to disperse and flee. In the middle of all the young Yagi was separated from her family though stuck with members of the pack she barefly knew. Juniper made the decision to leave them in an attempt to find her family once again. Whilst independent it appears as though Juniper is more sociable than she realised.
