Give a two or three-word description of yourself.

Deceiving, carefree, wanting

What is your full birth name?

Juniper Dahl

What is your greatest strength?

His desire to overcome; His refusal to stand down.

What is your greatest weakness?

His emotional cowardice.

What do you perceive as your greatest flaw?

June believes that it is his difficulty to personally connect with others. He's always wanted to be able to make real friends, but given his life and the persona he’s been forced to take upon, doing so has been incredibly hard. Part of him has since given up hope that it could be possible.

What is your Social/Economic Status?

Outwardly, it is high-standing, given the family he was adopted by. but even within the said family, he is heavily looked down upon. Not that he cares.

What is your biggest secret?

June may or may not be saving up money to fund taking out his family for good.

What is your greatest fear?

Despite keeping up a persona, June actually cannot stand the idea of being considered a “fraud”. And, despite his distant wish to finally have friends, he is also terrified of becoming too emotionally attached to someone. He tells himself it’s because they would become a liability, but what he mentally denies is that it’s actually because he is terrified of being vulnerable.

Who is your closest still living family member?

Biologically, nobody; in the general sense, June isn’t particularly close to anyone within his adopted family, except perhaps his little sister, Rin. She’s young, still adolescent, and naive to the ongoings around her. He only wishes he could fully protect her innocence.

Who is your closest still living friend?

Haha, Who needs friends?

Who is your greatest rival or enemy?

Anyone that can put up a fight against him.

Who is your idol?

Can he count himself? (He genuinely doesn’t think of himself that highly, even though that may be what it appears, but June absolutely believes that nobody is above him, and never will be. There is no point in thinking of someone so favorably.)

What is that one thing you kept from your childhood?

The red scarf he wears a lot was something he somehow kept from the previous life he doesn’t really remember before he’d been adopted. He doesn’t remember where it came from, or if anyone had given it to him, but he refuses to part with it and keeps it in as good condition as he can.

What did you do to that bully in school?

He emotionally scarred him by spilling all his dirty secrets in front of other children from powerful families without even lifting a finger.

How did you get that scar?

What scar? His face is pristine! (He tends to try and keep any injuries below the head so that nobody can tell, but most of the injuries he receives are from fights he either willingly enters or starts, or from fighting who-knows-what outside of city boundaries for either sport or money. usually sport.)

Personality

June's personality is... Unique. He keeps a specific persona active for pretty much everyone: kind and sincere, polite and professional, perhaps even a bit empty-headed unless he's speaking to someone regarding business. Growing up in an environment where appearances were very important, he had to learn such a persona at a young age, and so it has become separate nature to him. That said, June can also be a tad manipulative which was also learned growing up in the environment that he had. He's not afraid to use his charm to take advantage of someone, though normally never to harm anyone.

He has some rather striking features, starting from his piercing, fiery-red eyes (that are surrounded by a greyish sclera, rather than white), to the light-colored freckles that litter only his cheeks, to the angular structure of his thin jawline. He takes on a hereditary darker, almost ash-colored skin tone due to his Genasi blood, while his hair is dyed an unnatural muted verdant color (while muted orange-white of his natural hair can still somewhat be seen at the roots), long and as soft as it appears, though he normally keeps it in a loose ponytail or braid.

June can be seen in a wide range of fashion, whether it be of eastern culture due to his family, or something casual and western for comfort and his journeys. He doesn't tend to be fond of armor in general, as it slows him down too much, and isn't one to be seen in anything "low-class"; even in his more simple adventuring outfits, he still tends to outdress anyone in the room.
