Juniper's gender identity

There is no specified or no defined gender identity for or by Juniper in-game, unlike for the other main or Hero characters.

In the English version, "they" pronouns are used, while in the other language versions, non-gendered pronouns, a mixture of different pronouns, or no pronouns are used (see screenshots in the Gallery below).

According to the game files, the internal values assigned to the "gender" of the characters are 0 for male, 1 for female, and the undefined value 2, which was assigned to the character Juniper. For this reason, Juniper's gender identity is expressed by the non-binary gender umbrella term or the X-gender umbrella term in Japan until further comments by the developers.

Lilly Hart who voices Juniper in the English version, confirmed the non-binarity of their gender identity.

Nintendo of America has published through their official Twitter account, a tweet presenting the Hero character Juniper using the pronoun "their".
