Juniper Drev
Juniper n'a jamais aimé les matins. Le soleil lui faisait mal aux yeux, la sensation sèche dans la bouche et la gorge, le grogginess... Elle gémissait, sentait la surface autour de ses mains. C'était froid, sec, dur... Attends, où était-elle? Elle ouvrit les yeux, et se poussa vers le haut, regardant autour de la peur, comme un animal sauvage capturé. Juniper s'est légèrement calmé en voyant d'autres personnes autour d'elle, la plupart dormant ou non hostiles. Juniper a stabilisé son souffle et a brossé la poussière de ses épaulettes et de sa poitrine. Elle a essayé de marcher vers la torche, presque en trébuchant sur quelque chose. Une hache? Bien, elle avait une arme maintenant, même si ce n'était pas son argent préféré. Juniper soupira et saisit l'arme de fer. Il faisait beaucoup trop sombre ici pour qu'elle aime, mais au moins il y en avait d'autres ici. Ils ne ressemblaient pas à ses soldats. Une dame chevalier, debout plus haut que n'importe qui dans la grotte, et deux garçons plutôt petits, un tenant un bâton. Sympa, un clerc. "Hé, je suis Juniper Drev. Une idée de l'endroit où nous sommes?"

Appearance
A tall, heavily-built woman, Juniper's strength rivals those of most men. She reaches nearly 190 cm in height and weighs slightly more than 85 kg. Her raven-black hair is cut short, barely reaching below her chin, and she's cut her bangs short so they don't get into her eyes. Two strands of hair frame her face, reaching down to her high cheekbones and square chin. Juniper's tanned, despite being raised in a northern country, and has brownstone eyes with a slight shade of olive. Her lips are slightly plump and she's got a slightly curved nose.
Juniper almost always wears battle gear - hers consists of a light iron chainmail, shoulder, elbow and knee guards made of steel and black leather knee-high boots.

Personality
Alignment
Chaotic Neutral. Juniper's ethics and morals are questionable, as she is quite ruthless and prone to putting her interests first, especially if the conflict is with strangers or people whom she does not care for. She is, however, caring for her close relatives and friends and is willing to help in battle. She doesn't really care for the law and wants to find easy or effective measures to achieve her goal, however, if punishment will be dealt or benefits gained, Juniper will reluctantly follow.
She's very charismatic and self-confident, and will try to crack a joke in most situations where it's appropriate. Juniper's not the one for complex diplomacy, she prefers to solve problems through battle. It can be quite hard to stop her when she's angry or bloodthirsty. She has an affinity for good food and will probably spend most of her money on it, since she uses her gear and weapons until they wear out. Juniper believes that practice is superior to theory and will gladly spar with different people, be it mages or swordfighters.
Biography / History
The only daughter of the royal family in Yoha, a matriarchal kingdom bordering the northern sea, she was born on one of the few sunny days. Unlike her mother, an incredibly peaceful lady and a great diplomat, Juniper showed that the battlefield was more comfortable for her than conference halls during her early days. She was a fast learner, and became an army recruit at the age of 17. Her outstanding skill with an axe and speed helped her survive and escape death even during massacres, yet it lead to more mourning than one could imagine.
Her mother fell ill when Juniper reached late puberty. Despite the effort of Yoha's best doctors, she died shortly after her daughter reached 18, leaving the throne to the youngest Drev. With Juniper reigning, Yoha's politics took quite a turn to violence - their army soon almost effortlessly conquered the nearby lands, granting the kingdom more fertile soil and resources. They stopped the conquest after doubling the country's size and turning it into federation - it remained peaceful and open to foreigners ever since.
At the age of 26, Juniper still has no husband, wife or any romantic interest. There has been a significant amount of suitors coming to her reign, most of whom, if not all, were rejected and sent back, even princes of some of the biggest countries of the continent.
