Juno (ジュノ, Juno?) is a main character in Beastars, and is a member of the drama club on the actor team. An affable she-wolf, she wished to become the next Beastar, competing against Louis.
Appearance[]
Juno is a gray wolf with curled brown fur and blue eyes. She is typically seen wearing her school uniform. This uniform consists of a white blouse and bow tie, a long pleated white skirt decorated with two light blue horizontal lines near the hem, a thin tan belt, white anklet socks, and black Mary Jane shoes.
During drama club practice, she wears a white t-shirt and red shorts.
During the Meteor Festival, Juno wore a red one-strap sleeveless dress with a semi-ruffled skirt and a thigh slit. She also wore a headdress of feathers with a veil, a choker, and red shoes.
Her casual attire consists of long-sleeved blouses and knee-length skirts, in addition to low-heeled shoes.
Author Paru Itagaki wrote in Chapter 34.5 of Volume 4 that Juno has dark-brown fur and "the sweet eyes of a child." She is also described as being stronger than her looks would otherwise indicate.
Personality[]
Juno is quite social and friendly to other animals. However, she has also shown to be a very ambitious person with a bit of a manipulative streak, and showed a completely different side to her usually perky self towards Louis.
She is very idealistic and believes in creating a better world for carnivores where they are praised for their true strength instead of being feared. Juno can be quite jealous and possessive and would do anything it takes to be the next Beastar and claim Legoshi for herself.
Trivia[]
- Juno could have possibly been named after the Roman goddess Juno, the wife of Jupiter and protector of love and marriage. It can also be rendered in kanji as 寿乃 or 珠暢, which mean "you live long" or "long pearl."
- Depictions of the Roman goddess Juno often depict her with a cloak made of goat skin.[2]
- Juno is the only main character in the series whose family isn't mentioned or explored.
- In exclusive extras for Beastars, Paru Itagaki wrote that Juno was created as a foil to Haru. Itagaki found this direction uninteresting until she had Juno take action in Chapter 31, which was around when Itagaki "started to love her character"
