Juniper

The resident tailor for the clan, helping to create clothing, bags, and any other manner of fabric good. She's quite good at it, all things considered, but even so sometimes feels a tad bit ashamed of her work, thanks to her old home environment...

Her original Clan had been a clan of proud warriors, but who of which expected their offspring to continue to carry that legacy. Weakness was not an option; you'd become a warrior worth envying, or die trying, and there was no middle ground. To her home, weakness was not a physical component; if you were weak, they would nurture you back to health, and find ways to help train you to be stronger.
Weakness was backing down, not wanting to answer their ancestral call to fight and defend.
And there, Juniper was the biggest coward of all.

She felt boxed in by warrior work, and truthfully, she found her passion in the mending of leather armor and satchel between work. A necessity, but one she preferred over fighting for her life.
The clan, of course, wouldn't take it. Their blood was meant to be powerful; how could she discard that so easily?
Although they tried to nudge her back onto the right path, like a seedling growing away from the sun, she wasn't meant to be; she, eventually, took off from the clan, to try and find a place of her own that could accept her as she was.
And she found it, with strange murmurs of a clan deep below, and the rather reasonable assumption that a clan that deep might find themselves in need of a tailor.
For all the shame that creeps up now and then, she truly doesn't regret a thing.

• She... mildly pities Sildean, mostly because she can tell he has so much repressed emotion. She'd try to connect with him if she could, but she's not sure how to even begin to approach that, and he's too standoffish to try any casual approaches.
• She actually started really poorly in her craft, only having spare hours to prove for her skills. In her time in Rippleshard, though, she's more nicely honed those skills into something workable.
• Tallory showed up during one Night of the Nocturne, attracted to her various scraps from her earlier attempts. Now, sometimes Juniper will make new little pieces for them to climb into and utilize!
