Profile[]
Introduction[]
Trails of Cold Steel III[]
An energetic girl with a strong sense of justice. She was raised in the formerly independent Crossbell State. She idolizes the Special Support Section—the heroes who saved Crossbell—and enrolled in Crossbell's police academy to follow in their footsteps. However, her dreams were shattered when the Erebonian Empire annexed her homeland. In all this, a trusted instructor of hers recommended she transfer to Thors. Deciding to see the empire for herself and show them her Crossbell pride, Juna begins packing her bags.[4]
Trails of Cold Steel IV[]
The de facto leader of the new Class VII—an energetic girl with a strong sense of justice. She was raised in the formerly independent Crossbell State. She idolizes the Special Support Section and enrolled in Crossbell's police academy to follow in their footsteps, but certain circumstances forced her to transfer to Thors' branch campus instead. Though initially distrustful of the people who had invaded her home—not least of all their hero, the Ashen Chevalier—her many trials overcome with Class VII helped her grow. She is now determined to fight for a future where Crossbellans and Erebonians can work together, hand in hand. Now that the Great Twilight has spread throughout Erebonia, however, Juna's fulfilling days at the academy have come to an end, leaving nothing awaiting her but bleak reality.[5]
Trails into Reverie[]
The plucky de-facto leader of new Class VII and a prideful Crossbellan with a strong sense of justice. Juna's optimism as disaster loomed over the Empire became a great pillar for both new and old Class VII, and when her instructor needed rescuing from the pits of despair, she rose to save him with admirable haste. Upon the Great Twilight's end, she left the Empire to aid the Special Support Section with Crossbell's long-awaited liberation. However, instead of resuming her studies at the police academy upon its success, she rejoined Class VII at the branch campus to better watch over future relations between Erebonia and Crossbell.[6]Appearance[]
Juna is a young woman with pink pink hair and green eyes, bearing a strong familial resemblance to her mother and siblings. As a student of the branch campus, Juna wears the standard uniform of a blue blazer, waistcoat and skirt, with an accompanying white skit and red ribbon tie. She also wears knee high laced boots and red socks, with an ammunition pouch strapped around her thigh.
In her travelling clothes, Juna wears a untucked yellow collar shirt and black neck tie, with a white miniskirt, black thigh high stockings, leather boots and a medium-length magenta coat.
Juna is armed with two gunbreakers, long pink tonfas that double function as firearms.
Personality[]
Juna is a straightforward, energetic girl and hard worker. She takes immense pride in her heritage and state, being a staunch and vocal supporter for Crossbell's independence. She eagerly takes on anything related to Crossbell and despises people who meddle in its affairs. She tends to get easily worked up about Erebonia's invasion and occupation of her homeland of Crossbell. Juna admires the Special Support Section, especially Lloyd Bannings, for the work that they do despite the immense challenges they face.
Despite her appearance, Juna admits that she appreciates being praised for her work and can be easily offended by people mocking her, intentional or not. She has also proven to be a capable leader when Rean is not around.
