CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT #3 | Professor Juniper

Hello everyone! These will be a new series of threads called "character spotlight", where we will take a look at the important characters in the 5th Generation games! You're more than free to share your thoughts and ideas about each character shown in these threads, and reoccurring people who participate in these threads will receive something special:

So, in this character spotlight, we have... Juniper! Juniper is the first female professor introduced in the world of pokemon, being the pokemon professor of Unova. She gives the trio (the protagonist, Bianca, and Cheren) their own set of starter pokemon, allowing them to set off on their journey.

She's pretty kind to people, and very caring. We see her here and there, giving us some items to help us along with our journey like a Lucky Egg, and even a Master Ball! Like all professors, she wishes to study and learn all she can about pokemon, spreading her knowledge with others.

Her Pokémon: Minccino​

* Some discussion questions! What did you think about Professor Juniper, as the first female professor we meet? Was she helpful in our journey? What sort of things should we learn from her more? What mysteries do you think she wants to figure out? Feel free to share any and all thoughts~

I still say Cadrac Juniper should have been the starting professor due to the fact that he is the one studying distribution of pokemon and their biology(granted that spot has been taken up by birch already but still).

I like Aurea Juniper as she is primary is historian of both human and pokemon history and as such have different research topics like Celestial Tower and Lacunoca Town. Its such a pitty though that the unova pokedex isn't written to reflect that. Aside form that she is the only other Prof aside from Rowen and her dad that is actually shown to do field studies so she has that going for her.

I loved how Juniper was the first female professor, and the fact she gave you a Lucky Egg showed she was indeed a helpful character. I feel like there's not much backstory we know of regarding her, but it was awesome seeing her father appear in the games as well.
