Had worked in theater and film making for a few years, before realizing that her talents were being squandered on Theater Nerds and Drama Queens. She chose to put her skills with people toward hostage situations, and getting bad people to cooperate without harm coming to anyone. She's actually very good at that, and has a charm to her rather blunt ways that many criminals have found helpful to keeping them alive rather than losing to a hail of bullets. With this in mind, she is an exceptional SWAT commander, and has earned quite a few commendations along the way because most of the people she's had to go in and deal with have lived to go to trial.
Personality: Good person overall, quietly forceful, complacent, charming, truthful, bad mannered. She's never been known to mutter insults under her breath - if there's an insult on the way it'll be right to your face, and it will be accurate as hell. She doesn't try tearing down those she respects, but she will put someone in their place if she feels they've crossed a line.
Religious view: Monotheist - (Faith: 84%) - It's always been difficult for her to reconcile her Protestant faith with her sexuality, but... she guesses now it doesn't rightly matter, there's no church here aside from that one looney in the Ranch and she won't go to him for advice...
World view: Realist
Racial views: "Racial differences are just cosmetic"
Gender bias: "Women are nothing but trouble" - yes, this was something she had to learn the hard way, and though she knows that there are good women out there, she just has had no luck at all finding them.
Age preference: "Respect your elders"
Nationalism: "I would die for my country" - she's now rather concerned with what country this is.
Conflict: "All problems can be solved by talking" - when that fails, though...
Dislikes: Reckless drivers, Badly fitted clothes, Washing the dishes
Afraid of: Insects, including big ones - and with good reason out here in the Mojave. Look at that fucking cazador? And what is up with these six-foot-long scorpions!?
Self-satisfaction: 90% - Decreasing - she doesn't really know how she'll manage in this new world. Or in her old one. She does understand (see book genre?) that this world isn't 'her' Earth, and thus is going to be a bit different. She also knows... that her home world might wind up like this one sooner or later.
Favourites
Colours: Likes blue
Music: Likes Drum and Bass, hates Metal
Foods: Likes lots of fish
Book Genre: Science Fiction
Events or History: Social Class: Lower middle class
Financial status: Broke
Because of her experience in dealing with riots, outdoor situations, and cleaning up Aperture's carnage now and then, Juniper has volunteered to go with a few others to this Mojave Conglomerate thing. She figures that the convicts that they were looking for when this weirdness started are going to need direction and focus, if they are to be of any use in this new world.
Works out of Camp McCarran's Control Tower, though using the communications network is primarily her duties, she will eagerly head out to any trouble spots to see if she can help defuse them.
Dragon
Name: Shade (... 50 shades)
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: medium (bulky) 9'7 s / 40' l / 70' ws
Colors: primarily medium grey from chin to tail tip and behind legs; slightly lighter grey on limbs; mid scales and limb armor graphite with brilliant white reflective spots; dorsal armor from head to tail tip not-quite-black; wingsails medium grey with pinpoint but hazy glowing white star patterns; claws, horns, spines all white; tongue violet, eyes dark blue
Features: Pure Nightwing
Powers: Winged Flight, good and strong in the warm desert air, his wings pack a punch and he does require a decent amount of space to take off, though he can land without a sound or a gust of wind. He can remain aloft for nearly a full day without really tiring, though he's not speedy, and not remarkably agile either. He can lift a really large amount of weight, and has helped out around the reconstruction areas to pick up tons of rubble and relocate them where others will reduce them to dust. He does enjoy carrying his rider as well as anyone she needs lifted out, and prides himself on a stable, even flight for those who are injured and can't be jostled. He does prefer to fly at night or in indirect sunlight, so cloudy days and clear nights are his time to fly.
Communication, as a Nightwing, he's quite capable of sensing and communicating with other dragons, and strong Vortal minds. He has a good Vortal partnership with Juniper, and eagerly waits for her signal that they get to go out patrolling. He can speak Draconic, Vortigese, and English, in a deeply smooth voice.
Stealth and Surprise, Shade definitely has this covered - he is superb at moving between dark spots even in a well lit area, and practices in the Strip because of the flashy lighting and plentiful interruptions to that light. Yes, a big dragon can 'sneak'. Depending on the lighting, he can remain undetected even if a large group of humans, Vorts, or dragons wander past him, though he prefers to be seen if there's something going on!
Fire Breath, though this is not his strongest suit, Shade can send a blast of fire that's accurate to about 50 meters, and it will definitely light things on fire, it can kill small animals at 20 meters so he often uses it for just pest control and small snack hunting rather than any big fights. He's usually muscle enough if needed, in a stand-down situation with Juniper at a problem location, and doesn't use it to do more than distract.
Parentage: Unknown Nightwings, had been reasonably young on arrival to the Rookery world. Has participated in the Checkerboard Ball 2021, and has ... a LOT of offspring with the lovely Amrith.

Other Info: Shade just loves skulking around the ruins of New Vegas and the surrounding desert at night. He blends in very well, and thinks that there is more to the place than meets the eye.
