Overview History Image Gallery
Juniper is a jackalope that originally served as Jaune Arc's mount in the Ever After. She first appeared in "The Parfait Predicament" of Volume 9.
When Jaune departed the Ever After in "Of Solitude and Self", he left Juniper in the care of Somewhat.
Appearance[]
Juniper is a very large jackalope, a mythical animal that is likely not present in Remnant. Jackalopes have the appearance of jackrabbits with the horns of an antelope. Juniper has white fur with light yellow markings on her face, paws, and tail. She has yellow eyes and long yellow horns with three branches protruding from each horn.
She is very strong, as she was able to perform a dropkick on the Jabberwalker despite both her quadrupedal nature and Jaune riding on her back.
Personality[]
Juniper has a strong connection to Jaune, and is willing to help him fight. How this connection formed is currently unknown. She does not share Jaune's animosity towards the Curious Cat. Additionally, she does not seem to have the ability to speak like most Afterans.
She becomes quite timid when presented into unfamiliar situations, as shown by her nervousness upon being absorbed into a Punderstorm. She exhibits a smile when they see Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long kissing.
Trivia[]
- She is named after Team JNPR, Jaune's former team in Remnant.
- While Juniper is the first Jackalope to be presented in the show, RWBY: After the Fall and RWBY: Before the Dawn have mentioned Jackalope Grimm.
- Juniper was inspired by the White Rabbit of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" which can be inferred by her species, coloration, and assistance of Jaune's being "on time" to prevent the Paper Pleasers' Ascension.
