Appearance
Faceclaim: Michelangelo Fortuzzi
Eyes: Grey-hazel, can appear green or blue in different lighting.
Hair: Light brown, very fine strands, always messy and fluffy no matter what he does to tame it.
Build: Skinny and a little malnourished, small for his age.
Style: Juno's clothing is mostly hand-me-downs from his cousins and nothing fits him properly. He wears knitted jumpers any time the weather is cold enough.
Distinguishing features: Juno has a general air of dishevelment, like he's gone through a washing machine and hadn't been ironed yet.
Health: Aside from the typical bumps and bruises he tends to collect from getting into trouble, Juno is healthy.



Wand
Length: A fairly average length for a wand, not at all uncommon or very special.
Style: Straight and smooth: what else is there to say?
Wood: Pine wands are often found in the hands of the 'loner', they do not protest creative and new uses of magic and this is perhaps why they seem to be the wands most successfully used with non-verbal magic.
Core: As a wand core, essence of belladonna is useful in Potions and Herbology work. The poisonous nature of this substance makes the wand more suspicious than most wands are of the wand caster. For this reason, wands with this core take a long time to bond with the wand caster.
Flexibility: Swishy: A wand which can quickly cast spells but may need to cast more than one to accomplish the job.

Personality
Juno has two brain cells tied together with a shoelace he found in the trash, and he doesn't care who knows it. He doesn't always think before he acts and will recklessly rush headfirst into things without considering the consequences. He can be cynical when it comes to dealing with other people, but also latches on to anyone who shows him any kindness and is extremely loyal to anyone he considers a friend. Juno wants to be heroic and always do the right thing, although finds it difficult to decide what the right thing is and will agonize endlessly over it until he gives up entirely. His self-esteem was mysteriously lost in the mail, and Juno has little faith in his own abilities or relationships, and will hide behind sarcasm or trying extra hard to make people like him.


Likes
- Plants. Juno likes to look after plants and finds tending them calming.
- Collecting cool rocks. Juno is like a magpie and likes anything shiny or interesting and will pick up anything he thinks is neat.
- Climbing things. If something is tall and not designed for humans to perch on, Juno has probably tried to scale it. Gravity tries to discourage him, but it has not succeeded in deterring him yet.

Dislikes
- Chocolate. It's gross.
- Schoolwork. Learning has never come easily to Juno and writing essays feels like a nightmare to him.

History
Juno grew up in a muggle town in New Zealand and was unaware magic existed until he received his Hogwarts letter. His mother was a witch who made the decision to give up magic and live as a muggle after falling in love with Juno's father. When Juno was six years old, Juno's uncle moved in with his five children. The Belgrave family home was located in the country and very isolated, and most of Juno's outside interaction was with the church, or the local hippie population during musical festival season. As a young child, Juno struggled to fit in with his muggle cousins and preferred spending most of his time alone, going as far to build a rickety tree house in the woods and sleep in it just to get away from his family. Early signs of magic from Juno were punished by his father, who could not understand why strange things kept happening around his only son. Despite knowing that Juno was a wizard, his mother kept the knowledge from him and simply hoped it would vanish and be could become "normal".
