Personality: Juniper Woods is a very kind girl, and one of the easiest sorts to make friends with. She will always try to greet people with a smile or a hello, if not both. Though she can be a bit of a recluse, especially when it comes to meeting new people, she will do her best to accomodate other people over herself. She values friendship more than anything else in the world, and when she makes friends with someone, she tries her best to keep those friends. She even went as far as wear a friendship bracelet that her friend Robin Newman made for the two of them and their other best friend, Hugh O'Conner. Because of how much she values friendship, she will do whatever she can to keep her friends out of trouble and even from getting into trouble if she can help it, though sometimes her morality will shine through more and she will do what is morally right. She tends to naively think only the best of her friends - because if one of her friends does something that's terrible, she will want to not believe that it could possibly be true.
When it comes to her friends, Juniper tries to do as much for them as she can. As has been shown in canon multiple times, Juniper brings fruits and vegetables that she grows in her garden to give to her friends to show her support for them. She's given her best friend Athena an orange and her other good friend Apollo a lotus root, and gives them knowledge based around them. She also is a major worrywart about her friends when they're in danger, which she has shown for Apollo countless times when he helped save her from getting hurt by shielding her body when debris was falling during an explosion.
The good thing about her kindness is that when others around her are smiling and laughing, it causes her to generally do the same and feel more upbeat and optimistic about things. However there is a major downside to her kindness she tries to show. She's quite naive and can easily be manipulated by those who feign kindness and use her for their own means. She is easily trusting of others which lends more vulnerability to being lied to. She also gets nervous and frightened very easily and can do so when the situation is tense or nerve-wracking for her, or if others around her are also nervous, worried or frightened. Though sometimes she will try to perk others up, it's often difficult for her to be the light at the end of the tunnel. She also emotionally crumples easily under the weight of cruel stares or people just plain being mean to her.
Sometimes, she can put on a brave face and do what is necessary to get things done. Being Student Council President at Themis Legal Academy, Juniper thought it necessary to put aside her usual fright and nervousness with a serious look that would set an example of what all students should be. She can readily accept responsibility and follow directions to near perfection, as long as they are well within the bounds of her physical capabilities. This even caused her to not call her best friend Athena by her nickname 'Thena', in order to keep up the example she was trying to set for the other Academy students.
Juniper is a very outdoorsy person, and enjoys playing in the forest, especially given her home is centered in a forest on top of a mountain. She loves gardening and exploring in the wilderness, and watching the wildlife in the forest or even parks. Though you won't see her picking flowers or messing with nature, as she adores what naturally can grow within the earth's soil.
She isn't very physically fit, and has a weak constitution. As she is generally nervous and easily frightened, she can get into coughing fits from the stress alone. She always wears sunflowers on her so that she can breathe a calming scent to soothe her nerves in case nobody's around to cheer her up. Her coughing, unfortunately, makes it very difficult to get much in the way of speaking out of her, so she doesn't always do well in exceedingly tense situations or anywhere where she feels frightened or traumatized unless she's with someone she trusts.
If there's one thing she's determined to find above all others, however, it is the truth. Juniper, believing that the truth always should come before 'the end justifies the means', is adamant about doing what she can. Because of this, she dislikes it when people lie or deceive others for their own personal gains. She can at least understand when people do so to cover for others since she can't really speak for herself on the matter, having lied for Hugh to keep him from falling under suspicion of a crime. In a world where many new law students are trying to justify their trial wins by forging evidence, Juniper is seeking to help dispel this and show that the truth is more important.
Juniper's motivations center around her friends and the truth, though when it comes to a decision between the two she will tend to choose friends, though this has been shown to be questioned as she told on one of her best friends for presumably paying money for good grades, which she deemed much more important than admitting to him that she knew, though she felt extremely bad for it and refused to admit it to Athena later (who was trying to defend her in court).
Overall, Juniper is someone that's fueled by friendship and will do what she can to help her friends when necessary, though she won't go too terribly far if things are getting well out of hand. She might rely on her friends to keep herself going sometimes, but she can put on a brave face when necessary and stick it through to the end.

Hello, everyone! It finally happened; the clutch of eggs that my friend and I's Ivysaurs laid a couple of weeks ago hatched! [Her own Ivysaur is bounding along happily at the sight.] I know I could have hatched them individually, but I wanted them to hatch alongside one another and grow strong sibling bonds, and be with at least one of their parents. [Sadly, only having six slots in a team...]
I wanted to know if anyone was interested in a baby Bulbasaur? These are all ready to go to a new home, if anyone would like one. Having traveled with one since I started here, I can say they're very good friends to have along. [Her Ivysaur has helped her so much when she's gotten into trouble... well, all of her Pokemon have, but her Ivysaur has of course been with her the longest.]
For now, I'm going to bring them along with me and let them explore the world some. They need to be able to learn and be protected, so I don't want to release them to the wild yet even if no takers pop up.
Of course, if anyone wants one now, I'll happily initiate the trade. So do let me know if you'd like one, alright?
Take care, everyone. [She waves and the video ends.]
