Physical Description: Juniper Evans is a small, unremarkable young girl with long golden blonde tresses that are usually pulled back into thick plaited pigtails save for a stray length on the right of her face that is always seemingly out of place. A fair-skinned youth with vivid, forest green eyes which sit behind a pair of thin-framed glasses to help her read. She will often accessorize her hair with a black hair-band but much like the stray frontal hair it will sometimes skew when she's been playing with the other children. She stands at a height of 4 feet and 6 inches - just shy of the average for her age - and has a relatively slim frame.

More often than not the clothes she wears outside of uniform are a mixture of greens, browns, whites and blacks. Ultimately opting for earthy tones overall. They're a mix of summery outfits with big wooly cardigans that are often oversized, and seem a bit tatty- second-hand.

Mental Description: As far as children go Juniper is a relatively timid individual who at first might seem afraid to make the first approach. This is because she's more of a quiet, bookish sort and tends to keep to herself, preferring the world of dusty bookshelves and the scent of coffee in the morning (even if she doesn't drink it herself - far too bitter for her developing tastebuds). Despite this, once she warms to you Juniper is a very gentle and brave person who will go out of her way to speak up for you if you're in trouble or take the fall for a mistake. She can be a little bit of a clumsy girl at times as she's used to being overlooked and ends up rather spacey, daydreaming in her own little world. But she makes up for this in her willingness to step up to the plate when it comes to action. In short; a girl with a daring heart who is often unsure of herself yet has the potential to go far.

Biography: Juniper comes from a large family of witches and wizards that lived a mostly comfortable life within the wizarding community in the Midlands of England and hardly interacted with the muggle world save for when they absolutely had to. They were a large family spanning back many generations, though as of recent just like some other pure-blood families, muggles, muggle-born and half-blooded wizards had married into the family which caused some purists to believe that her family were 'blood traitors'. These were cousins of her family however; Juniper herself is of a pure-blooded branch, if only by sheer happenstance.

She was relatively happy growing up for the most part, though being the youngest sibling of five came with a lot of pressure which made her very meek. Especially in school during her earliest years, with her siblings having a keen eye for Defense Against the Dark Arts and Herbology both, people had been waiting to see how she would blossom. Juniper was especially close to her father, who was widowed after illness took her mother only causing her to further sink into her shell, but both Mr. Evans and Juniper's siblings did not want Mrs. Evans' death to put a raincloud over her development.

For a time since her magic had not really sprung up, they had worried she was born a squib until the age of ten when her first instance of accidental magic occured. Ever since then there has been relief and elation on all sides, especially when she received her letter to Hogwarts. Now wishing to join her older siblings anxiously, young Juniper Evans would be dragged along by her father to prepare for what would be her first year.

First Instance of Magic:

It had been a hard day at school for young Juniper. She knew making friends at her new school would be hard after the family moved, but she didn't think she'd get bullied for falling on her face in assembly on her first day. It was embarrassing! And all too much. Everything was... was this going to be just like their original home? Was she going to end up friendless all because of a silly little incident that might shape how people see her for the rest of her school year?

She was sat alone in the fields of her school campus when it happened. A teacher had approached to come and check on the crying, hopeless child, but Juniper didn't want to be found. She didn't want to be seen. Curling up in a ball, those feelings of conflict grew stronger and stronger... until the teacher was right in front of her. What young Juniper didn't realise is that the grass beneath her had grown to wrap around her and keep her hidden from view, a self-defence mechanism and her first accidental incident of magic. This was not realised until she heard the teacher walk right past where she had been, and she looked up to open her eyes seeing naught but grass in the way of her vision. Rather than panic overmuch at first she blinked, stunned as it flopped on the ground around her. But then hearing the school bell for the end of the day, the slightly scuffed girl shot up, re-adjusted her glasses and ran off for home to go and tell her father all about it!
