juno's parents weren't exactly high school sweethearts, but were very close back then. travis was an avid sculpter and woodworker and a very hands on person. april was an artist as well, opting to work with soft colors and smooth lines in the form of pencil drawings. they met and bonded in an art class over a group assignment. they eventually linked up and spent several years together before having juno. they waited to have an official marriage cerimony, planning for juno to be the flower kid. they carved him a palisman early, hoping to gift it to him in the years to come. that day never came. unfortunate circumstances led to april's passing the same day juno was born. travis always said, "april showers bring may flowers," when juno asked what happened to them. juno became the last fragment of their heart, the last gift they ever gave. travis took it hard. he never completely moved on for years after they passed and juno felt it every day. for that reason, juno had a bit of a troubled upbringing. travis was as good a dad as the cards dealt to him allowed. he was kind and understanding and patient but he was grieving all the same. to support he and his child, he turned to the emperor's coven and their promise of good money and opportunities. after travis joined the coven, juno saw him less and less. the emperor wanted him too often, needed him for too much behind the scenes. juno was raised partially by werewolves. april was a werewolf, and after they passed, their family became even more involved in juno's life than they had been previously. travis and april had been in the beastkeeping coven and eventually juno joined the track, which allowed juno to more efficiently communicate with his werewolf family. as juno got older and became more in touch with his magic, travis taught him an ancient family skill: how to use portal magic. it took him a long time to get a hand on, but eventually he was able to teleport both with and without the help of a portal. he was one of the few witches around who knew how to use portal magic, let alone use it well. when juno was 12, emperor's coven tryouts were returning to hexside. travis, hoping to help ensure a good, solid future for his son, encouraged juno to try out. juno figured the training his father had given him would give him an upper hand in them and accepted. when he won, he was sworn in to the coven and placed among the novice scouts. for a while, juno was a regular apprentice in the coven. he trained daily with the rest of his peers and went on occasional missions with them. his usage of portal magic and beastkeeping knowledge got him farther than most other apprentices. juno had been on a mission with a handful of older scouts one day. they were up at the knee, training, when one scout began to push juno further than was ethical. they taunted juno, hurting him and threatening him. it culminated in a final attack at juno which was deflected into the other scout and resulted in their death. travis, upon hearing the report, tried to console juno and tell him he did what he had to do to survive. neither of them could've ever comprehended the storm over the horizon. the emperor calls juno into the throne room one evening. naturally, juno is absolutely mortified and fears he may recieve extreme punishment for what he's done. he's wrong. when the emperor caught wind of the scout who had so effortlessly killed another witch, he knew he had to meet them. to juno's surprise, he wanted to promote him. told him that witches like him are "just what the coven needs." juno, being presented before the very man running the entire boiling isles, the man he and every other witch out there had been raised to obey, the man who could speak to the titan, accepted his offer. perhaps he would've refused if he knew what was next for him. over the following months, juno was trained almost entirely in combat. with magic, without, and combinations of the two. he learned dozens of ways to kill and even more ways to attack. he became desensitized to death and taking lives. the emperor had effectively molded him into the perfect, personal hitman. for four entire years, that's exactly what juno did. he hunted down anyone the emperor told him to and killed them quickly and cleanly. he gained a title, the bronze brute, and a reputation. the boiling isles citizens feared him. he turned into the beast a parent tells their children about to make them behave. he turned into a bad omen. at some point, he'd met the golden guard. for a while, he was juno's superior and commander. eventually, as juno's rank shifted, they slowly became closer to equals. this led to them developing a rivalry of some kind. it was lopsided, with the golden guard seeming to take everything juno was tasked with as a personal attack against his own abilities and competence. juno only ever shot back after the golden guard got on his nerves. it didn't last forever, though. after so many missions together, they had to learn to tolerate one another to stay alive on the tougher ones. slowly their rivalry morphed into an allyship. the friendship was welcomed, but not enough. the things juno was being put through and seeing every day were still sucking away at his mind and his mental health. after his amount of successful missions, the emperor wished to send him on one of the most important ones out there. capturing the owl lady. the only reason juno wasn't sent after her was because her sister had begged for another chance and sworn she would catch her. they both knew juno would not fail. they both knew the owl lady would've ended up dead. following his mission to capture the owl lady being cancelled, the emperor sent him out to capture the human instead. they interacted a handful of times, but luz somehow managed to slip away each time. perhaps it was luck, or perhaps she really was outsmarting the most dangerous witch on the isles. it doesn't matter now. as more time went on, juno and hunter became only closer. they became each other's only confidant and closest ally. juno was there to listen to hunter's rambles about his interaction with the human girl and one of the first to meet flapjack. he watched as hunter had more and more run-ins with the human and her friends and got an earful of flyer derby and penstagram and all about hexside. he indulged hunter with stories about his own time attending the school when he was just a kid. he was utterly devastated when the news of hunter's disappearance reached him. the emperor turned to juno to task him with hunting down the boy and juno went half insane with it. partially from the weight of the emperor's expectations, and partially with the anxiety of what could be happening to his friend. that's when he heard about the illusionists soon taking a trip to hexside. he immediately volunteered himself, noting his previous experience with the school and his knowledge of both the building and the student body. something in his gut instinct told him he would find answers there. upon arriving, juno manages to sniff hunter out and track him down once the whole school is blanketed in illusion. hunter is terrified. before juno can ask him anything, the illusion shifts again and hunter is gone by the time juno can react. the news of the golden guard being captured and subsequently broken out spread through the coven scouts like wildfire until it reached juno. through either a hunch or just logistical thinking, he assumes the students must be hiding in the healing wing. when he finds them, he surrenders immediately and lets them take him captive, believing they would bring him closer to hunter. when they haul juno in, willow had already backed hunter up and told the others to trust him. juno was brought into the hideout and hunter quickly vouched for him as well. he was filled in on the plan and immediately agreed to it without a second of hesitation. the students send juno out to the rest of the scouts in an effort to command them to stand down. when it doesn't work, they all attack. upon rescuing gus, juno returns to the coven, agreeing to be a spy for hexside and eventually the catts. the emperor seems to be none the wiser. his duties continue as usual for the short time before the day of unity. he keeps relaying information to the catts and eventually is set to fight belos with raine and lilith as a backup plan in case eda's curse didn't disable the draining spell. finally, the day of unity arrives. juno is at the center of it all with the coven heads and he follows belos when he abandons ship. he stays hidden when they appear in the skull for as long as he can until kikimora announces she's captured the golden guard. juno's blood runs cold and as soon as the coast is clear, he impulsively attacks earlier than planned. it's all a fruitless attempt, but he manages to do better than hunter could've alone. when it's revealed that it was actually luz who was captured, juno quickly falls into a dance with her as they try to fight back against belos and stay alive. the rest of the hexsquad arriving feels like a nightmare to juno. all of these inexperienced fighters going against a beast with little to no prior preparation? he would need to up his game to a level impossible with a sigil steadily draining his magic and energy. eventually juno is on his last leg. he is utterly exhausted, injured, and nearly magic-less. the entire interaction with the collector is nothing but a blur to him. all he remembers is staring over the storm of fossilized bone swirling up into the sky and being pulled through the portal door. his time in the human realm is... mostly spent dissociating. he often works himself to the bone in an effort to reopen a portal to the demon realm to no avail and when he isn't doing that, he's pacing the backyard with his palisman hopelessly following him. his relationships with the hexsquad are... awkward at best. he isn't friends with them, they're all hunter's friends. his social skills have been whittled down to nothing over his time in the coven so he's too blunt or comes off as unfriendly to them. he has hunter, and nobody else. his dependency on hunter worsens over the summer. it's unhealthy. he is jealous of his other friends for being able to spend time with him. if juno could truly have things his way, he would have hunter all to himself. yet, he knows it's wrong to think that. as a result, he beats himself up over it and only isolates further. -> on halloween, juno
dog person. he was nearly raised by wolves and has a wolf palisman, it's only natural they're his favorite animal. loyal to a fault. his favorite colors are yellow and red. avid painter and artist. would collaborate with his father on art projects. could fill sketchbooks with only drawings of hunter.
always had trouble making and keeping friends. he has a tendency to be dropped by people after they get what they want out of him. terrible at keeping secrets unless he forgets them. can't help but want to please anybody who treats him decently, even if it's disingenuous. tends to isolate himself when he's upset. he will do almost anything to protect himself.
the knowledge that he's feared is one of his own greatest fears. he hates being the boogeyman people tell their kids about to scare them into behaving. he hates how his reputation preceeds him because it pushes people further away than he ever could. he's scared of what he's capable of. he's scared of being hurt and hurting those he's close to and under regular circumstances would hate doing it.
