-GENERAL-

NAME:
-Juniper

NAME MEANING:
-Juniper as a name means young, or sprightly.

NAME REASONING:
-Juniper was given this name because of both her size and attitude. She's always happy, always bubbly, and always looking for a way to laugh or have some fun. She acts like a young pup, and is looked down upon by some because they believe an alpha should be more serious. She just laughs at them, and keeps on doing what she's doing.

-APPEARANCE-

FUR COLOR:
-Black, silver, white

FUR DESCRIPTION:
-Her fur is medium length and smooth everywhere except for her back, which is coarser. Her main color is silver, but her underbelly is plain white and the tips of her ears and tail are black. The black fades into the silver, and also does the same thing on her back.

EYE COLOR:
-Gold

BUILD:
-Small and limber

SCENT:
-Pine and wildflowers, and an undertone of dirt. A very earthy scent.

SCARRING:

-PERSONALITY-

NEGATIVE TRAITS:
-Ruthless, detached, manic

POSITIVE TRAITS:
-Joyful, optimistic, loving, bubbly, good leader, cares about her pack

OVERALL:
-Juniper is a happy go lucky wolf, but her perpetual optimism and youthful attitude give the impression that she might be under qualified for the position as Alpha. She's not, make no mistake. Her sweet spirit is by no means a facade, but she is able to balance that with a stern and unyielding side when need be. Her fighting skills are unparalleled, and she can bring down wolves almost twice her size. She chooses to save this for the most necessary of situations because she really does not like being cold or unfeeling, and especially hates to spill blood if she does not have to. If she really does have to, though... she will. No hesitation.

NATURE:
-Peppy and bright

DRIVE/MOTIVE:
-To do all she can for her pack, and to make their lives as enjoyable as possible.

-PACK LIFE-

PUPHOOD:
-As a pup, Juniper was a bright, happy little wolf. She loved to chat with her siblings, play-fight, and lead everyone in games. She was bullied for a very, very brief period of time by a slightly older male pup... until she bit a sizeable chunk out of his ear in self defense. He did not bother her or her siblings after that, but at this time began nursing a moons long grudge against her. She hated that she had spilled blood, but did not feel bad because she had hurt him. She felt bad because it was not an honorable thing to do. Her father, the Commander at the time, spoke to her of the value of pack blood, and how it must never be wasted. She took this to heart, vowing never to harm another wolf of Riverfront, unless it was the most dire of situations.

TRAINING:
-She was very excited to train, and she was generally a joy to have around. While training, she discovered something: she is an insanely good fighter. She's not quite sure why; maybe it's her small, agile frame that makes her so good at both blocking and initiating attacks. Whatever it is, as a pupil she left her peers in the dust, literally. She wasn't so good at hunting. Timing and predicting the movements of her own kind was easier for her than predicting those of prey, and she never became more than average at that particular skill. Her travelling knowledge left something to be desired as well. She managed to get lost in minutes, especially when following prey. While scouting the border, she had no issues. Eventually she worked her way into forming a shoddy sense of direction, but still prefers going into the woods accompanied by at least one other wolf. When the time for her ceremony came, the Alpha observed her and made her a Protector.

ADULT LIFE:
-As a fresh Protector, it took a lot of hard work to get the older, more experienced wolves to accept her. She was the smallest one by far, and almost all of them wrote her off on sight because of her size and gender. The only ones with complete confidence in her skills were herself and the other new Protectors she had trained with; unlike the older wolves, they had experienced her skill firsthand and knew the damage she could inflict. Over time, she showed her worth, and soon was know amongst her pack as a superior fighter.
-During this time, she met her mate. They had the mating ceremony, and not too long after she became pregnant with a litter. This went over smoothly, and she had four very healthy pups. She named the pups based on their defining traits: Aella, meaning whirlwind, or tempest. She had a wild spirit and caused much mischief among the pack; Praxis, meaning practical. He had a solid, dependable, and practical outlook on life; Brone, meaning sorrowful. He was a quiet, somber pup, and kept to himself much of the time; and Leta, meaning bringer of joy. She took after her mother, and was always happy and playful, never saying a bad thing of anyone. Juniper loved her pups, and cared for them far past their weaning. They all have wonderful relationships now, though Brone has left the pack to join Crucan's Kingdom. She misses him.
-After her time as a mother, she rejoined ranks as a Protector. At around this time, her father became Alpha following the death of the previous Alpha. He chose her as Commander, to the surprise of many. She appeared to be too young, and many felt she was not the best option. She proved them wrong. Though her bright, bubbly personality was a little juvenile, she was intelligent and brave, and worked hard to show her worth. Again, she proved herself.
-About twenty moons went by while she was Commander. She was a light in the pack, and improved the morale exceedingly. Then came the Bad Bloodshed. Her father was killed, and she stepped up to claim his position. As he was the Alpha, she opted to have a ceremony for him, but chose to have a more private one with herself and her family the next day. She moved her mate up to the rank of Commander from his previous position. During this time, Leta was killed in the terrible flood following the Bad Bloodshed.
-As Alpha, she brought good spirits and bountiful hunt to the clan. She prospered, yet despite this there were a pawful of stubborn holdouts that thought she should not be the Alpha, for she was too immature. Only one male actually attempted to challenge her position, though, where the other naysayers were content to whine about her in the safety of their dens. The male that challenged her was named Ursus, and he was the same male who had tried to bully her when they were pups. He landed exactly one hit on her, across her eye. She took care of him accordingly, crippling him. She was merciful in her punishment, and allowed him to stay in camp. He tried a second time to challenge her, and lost again. She banished him, and he has never been seen since.
