Juniper lived her early life in the kingdom's orphanage, alongside another girl who she became very close with. Her name was Celeste, and the two of them became so close that they began to consider each other sisters. It didn't matter how different they were, they felt like they were siblings at heart.   A young boy named Marx would often visit the orphanage to play with the other children, including the two girls. Together, the three of them became a tight knit friend group. It wasn't until later that they learned Marx was the young prince of their kingdom. Despite such a revelation, it didn't change much of anything—they were still just kids who wanted to play with one another.   When Juniper and Celeste outgrew the orphanage, they were given the opportunity to train to become part of royal services. The excitedly accepted. However, during training, Juniper struggled with majority of her tasks. Meanwhile her sister appeared to breeze through them flawlessly. While her sister was easily approved, Juniper was left nearly denied of a role. Deep down, she became jealous, which fueled her to try to excel during her second chance.
  Juniper had to be accepted under the guise as a servant, but was still recruited as one of the prince's retainers nonetheless. This happily reunited the three of them for good.
  Unfortunately, things didn't stay happy forever. One unfortunate night, the prince had found to be assassinated quietly. It was a tragedy for the kingdom. With no other witnesses around, the finger was pointed at the only two people who were close to him at all times: his most loyal retainers, Juniper and Celeste. They were scheduled to be put to death in the next following days.
  Juniper, still broken over her prince's death, accepted her fate. Celeste had other ideas, however. At first she tried to urge and convince Juniper to flee with her, but after many failed attempts, Celeste ended up forcing her to run away together. Just like that, they were gone before their last day approached.
