Juniper (Japanese: ユズリハ, Yuzuriha) is a character in Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Overview

Juniper, also known as Ghostbow Juniper, is the commander of Colony Tau, where they usually live quietly in the forest. Juniper is a companionable person and is trusted by their colony mates. Juniper is very agile and can move easily on trees and thin ropes. Juniper is an Agnian human with Gormotti and Blade Eater traits.

Juniper becomes a Hero after completing Natural Selection. Their Class Rank is increased to 20 by completing the Ascension Quest Survivors.

Gameplay

Juniper uses the Stalker Class, an Attacker class that wields the Luminescent Bow and specializes in attacking enemies' blind spots for a stealthy elimination. Juniper's Chain Art is Radiant Cascade and their Heroic Chain bonus increases the damage ratio by 10 percentage points when they are chosen.

Etymology

Junipers are a family of coniferous trees. Their Japanese name ユズリハ (Yuzuriha) is the common name for Daphniphyllum macropodum, a shrub or small tree found in China, Japan and Korea. The timber is used in China in construction and furniture making. It is grown as an ornamental plant, chiefly for its foliage.

Notes

• ※ There is no specified or no defined gender identity for or by Juniper in-game, unlike for the other main or Hero characters. 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. Moreover, Lilly Hart who voices Juniper in the English version, confirmed the non-binarity of their gender identity. More information is reported here.
