JunJun (ジュンジュン, JunJun) is the third oldest member of the Amazoness Quartet who works for the Dead Moon Circus. One day in the 30th century she will awaken as Sailor Juno (セーラージュノー, Seeraa Junou) of the Sailor Quartet, guardians of Chibiusa.
Nomenclature & Etymology[]
Etymology[]
The name Juno can have its roots in multiple Latin words, such as diove (love) or iuvenis (youth). But all these words and meanings link the name to the Roman goddess of marriage and birth.
Sailor Juno's name comes from one of the larger main-belt asteroids, Juno, the third asteroid discovered, and along with Ceres, Vesta, and Pallas. It was considered to be an actual planet up until 1845.
Appearance[]
Amazoness Quartet[]
JunJun has green hair, green eyes, and dark skin. Her hair is divided into three sections by brown braids. She wears a brown and green bikini top and white baggy trousers with a green and brown panel. Her sandals are green and she has golden bracelets and hoop earrings. On her top and panel are three dark-colored shapes that look like phases of the moon.
In the Materials Collection, she is said to have the darkest skin of the Amazoness Quartet.
Sailor Quartet[]
Sailor Juno has what is easily the most complicated hairstyle—along with the most complicated hair accessory—out of all her sisters. She has green hair with three circular brown hair bands resting on top of her head, which extend up to three longer hair bands, all connected to a green oblong piece, that resembles a circle with a crescent-shaped bite taken out of it, containing her green locks into a high ponytail. Trailing down from the headdress, are two long brown hair bands—each ending with a piece identical to the one atop her headdress—that contains the rest of her hair in two low ponytails. Her sailor uniform consists of a white leotard with a brown chest bow and a green star-shaped brooch affixed to it. Her stripe-less sailor collar is green, her choker is green, her earrings are gold tear-drop shaped hoops, and her tiara is gold with a green star. She has white bubble-like sleeves with a double row of white trim and white bicep-length gloves with green padding. Her skirt is green with a white bow that has a slight sheen of green at the back, and her footwear consists of white knee-high boots with green inverted triangular arches with yellow stars.
Information[]
She is a member of the Amazoness Quartet, who is the Sailor Quartet, who intend to protect Chibiusa in the future when Crystal Tokyo is in power. They are still sleeping when Queen Nehelenia senses their power and uses her dark power to corrupt the four Sailor Guardians, and they become the Amazoness Quartet. After they are sealed in their orbs, Super Sailor Saturn saves them (and their orbs) when the Dead Moon Circus is crumbling. Later, she asks Neo Queen Serenity to revive them using the power of the Silver Crystal. They return to their Sailor Guardian forms, and go back to sleep, waiting for the time when they are able to protect Chibiusa.
JunJun, now Sailor Juno, along with the rest of the Sailor Quartet, helps Eternal Sailor Chibi Moon fight in the Stars arc.
Powers[]
Like the other members of the Quartet, JunJun has an Amazon Stone, and hers is green.
