Name: Juniper âJuneâ Groves
Daughter of: Jackson & Oakley Groves
Juniper, or June as she preferred, was something of a miracle child. She knew growing up that she was special. She was Daddyâs little princess and Mommyâs little angel, but she never understood why. At least not until she was older. June didnât know how close to impossible it was for her to have been born. She didnât understand that there had been a time her mother came dangerously close to a life confined to a wheelchair. All she knew was the chance to run outside and skin her knees like any other little girl. She was almost four when her little sister was born, so June doesnât remember what life was like before Jasmine.
Growing up, June was independent, outspoken, and spunky. She was a daddyâs girl to her core, but that didnât stop her from disobeying him if she felt like it. June always wanted to say and do exactly what was on her mind with little thought to the consequences, especially when she was young. She made friends easily and was incredibly outgoing to the point that her parents needed to pull her back. A sense of stranger danger was not something Juniper realized until she was much older.
Jasmine and Juniper were two peas in a pod. Both girls were outgoing and optimistic. They were happy. They had parents that loved them and loved each other, so there was no reason to push against the system they were born into. Sure, reapings were terrifying and June knew the pain her mother could be in. Sheâd heard her father scream at night, but it didnât seem as real as it could have. At least not until her best friend Neptuneâs sister was reaped. Then it felt real. People she knew could go in there. The reaping could just as easily touch her.
Eventually that friendship with Neptune morphed into something different and they began dating in their teens. At first it was a little difficult, given how much her mother and his father disliked each other, but eventually they made it work. Ever since then, Juniper has been unable to picture her life without Neptune in it. He is the one constant she has outside of her family and that made the threat of the reaping even scarier, both for her and for him.
Thankfully she avoided the reaping and while Jasmine still has two more reapings to get through, June is convinced her family will be spared. They have to be. She canât even imagine how awful it would be to watch her sister fight for her life. Now, Jasmine has recently finished nursing school and has gotten a position at a Capitol hospital. Sheâs happy with how things have been going in her life. While her parents can still be fragile, she believes that things will get better for them, especially her father. Sheâs happy in her relationship and her job, even when she works in the tower during Games season. Itâs a good life. She wouldnât change it for anything.
