you have mentioned how juniper is a bit of an unreliable narrator, lying about stuff without us fans realizing, and since then i am questioning every information that is leaving her mouth regarding the spies and rebels...
Ugh Ok so, this is literally the crux of Juniper's character.
She is someone who insanely values the truth and information, but is forced to lie. Not just to the people around her but herself. I slightly regret mentioning she's an unreliable narrative, theoretically everyone is. We all have bias.
What I more so mean with Juniper being an unreliable narrator is she has a different view point and like everyone else, that filter's everything she says. I find Juniper to be very reflective of the society she hails from. The structure of the Storm raven's relies on the idea of confirmation bias, they feed the truth with evidence 96% of the time, which makes the 4% of lies, seem like they have some sort of validity. Juniper is very much so the same way, intentionally or not. She's always striving to to tell the truth, but every choice she's weighing in her mind. How will this information complicate this person? How will it complicate me? How can I share as much as possible while avoiding the one truth that damns us all. Even now, in this post I am doing this, sharing what I can about her, without answering the heart of your question, because well... it's top secret LOL!
Admittedly, it's a very difficult character to play at times, and I have geniunely let things slip in emotional moments, which I think is her greatest weakness. Sharing is love to her, she wants to be a writer because she want's to share everything wonderful she has ever seen, thought and experienced, unforunately not being able to do that, is a knife twisting in her heart. And so far the only remediy she has, is lying to herself.
Anyways, a lot of this is examplified, and can be seen in legs most recent stream and in my last stream with ros where we tunneled in the caves together!
There's another character... yet to be introduced, which I think will play off juniper super well and hopefully we can further explore these nuances.
Thank you for taking an interest~!
