Juniper Gulliard.
January 15, 1982
New Orleans, LA
The Gulliard family is one of the oldest names in Louisiana. Transported from France, they began with plantations along the Mississippi and boomed into a househeld name. The family's industry is now just money piled in a bank somewhere, but they're careful as to what it's spent on. An old-fashioned family who annually sponsor a ball at museums, parks or even fancy yacht celebrations. A name that's attached to charities all over the state, children's hospitals and homeless shelters. Then there's Juniper. A girl of twenty-six who strayed from Daddy's money to pursue a life of scandal and investigation. After attending college, she directly got hired by one of the largest newspapers in the city: the Times-Picayune. Daddy's money had nothing to do with it. Her talents were immediately recognized and she quickly climbed to the top. At the means of exploitation at the death of Cassandra Bordeaux, twin sister of her then-lover Alyx. Despite the Gulliard's clean name, the girl was a constant figure in other newspapers for her nightly adventures and wild fun. Until she slipped away from the city in June of 2005. Juniper took up a spot as staff writer for the women's magazine Cosmopolitan, a job which moved her to the heart of Manhattan and away from her true heart during the horrific hurricane later that year. With boyfriend Adam Detivaux at her side, the two lasted despite Juniper's playgirl status for nearly two and a half years. Towards the end of their relationship, guilt had taken in too much for both of them. Away from their home as it desperately tried to rebuild, June threw herself harder into work and Adam only spent more time with his career at the New York Times. Before long, a love they thought would last came to an end. June tried to remain in the city, despite her broken heart but it lost all infatuation with the news of her father's decreasing health. Now in order to deal with the left-over estate, she's moved home and back to the newspaper that gave her that first start, only on the editorial board.
