Juniper Kyani
"IGN: JuniKaeri"Juniper Kyani is a politically-driven human, native to the central-eastern "Drakaesland" region of Eldham. Sister of Daniëlle Kyani, well-known accomplished political and royal figure, as well as esteemed architect, great works designed and constructed by Juniper can be found piercing the sky within the city of Arrakis.

Juniper is known to hold political positions within multiple nations and cities simultaneously, currently she is known to reside in a home within the Pantera district of Puerto Amarillo, the town of Noshea on the island of Nujh within Valreach, as well as in the Golden Palace of House Kyani within the city of Arrakis.

Early Life
Juniper was born somewhere in the greater drakaesland region, raised by two lowborn adoptive parents alongside her adopted sister Danielle Kyani. Juniper's parents were a part of the Amarillian Diaspora, the name for the population of culturally Amarillian refugees who had fled the greater Amarillian area during the war of Drakaen succession. Ambitious at a young age, Juniper set out from her home in order to seek out her ambitions of political gain.

Battle of Kibris
Between the first and second battles of Kibris, Juniper Kyani made her way to the squatter fort of Kibris in the centre of The Drakaen Ocean, initially being hired to do some light construction work, Juniper soon discovered the history of the place and its leader, Mr Ananas. Juniper wasted little time in establishing contact with the then President of the Republic of Amarillo, Lhytt Poliorcetes, a deal was quickly struck to allow Juniper citizenship within the Republic of Amarillo in exchange for her remaining in Kibris for some time as an informant.

As the Second Battle of Kibris drew closer, Mr Ananas became suspicious of Juniper, eventually leading to him accusing her, the resulting events lead to Juniper fleeing Kibris earlier than planned and arriving in Puerto Amarillo.

When the battle finally arrived, Juniper stood alongside the Coalition at the base of the Kibris fort, her sword readied, she showed her prowess by personally gaining many kills within the assault on the fort. When the dust had settled Juniper aided in smashing the supports of the fort and watched as it sank into the ocean, a ruin that would mark her entry into Amarillo, and thusly the politics of Eldham.

Political Climb
Quickly after gaining citizenship within Amarillo, Juniper made her moves in politics, before a presidential race that had recently started had even finished, she pledged her service to the candidate leading in votes, resulting in her gaining a position as Minister of Economy within the republic. Within a short period of time Juniper had laid out her economic plan and begun implementation of it, a market would be completed and up and running on a basic level within a week, by the end of the week her plan had come to fruition, thus forging the Amarillian market into existence, as it stands today.

While traveling through the Island of Nujh, Juniper was invited to run for Mayor of Noshea, she quickly accepted the invitation to run and began her campaign, it was a landslide victory for the ambitious Amarillian, with big plans she undertakes her mayorship, planning to turn the near-ghost town of Noshea into a lively little town...

Meeting of the long-separated sisters
After being hired for an architectural job far from her homeland, Juniper went along the long journey from Puerto Amarillo to the Uraki province of the southernlands...

Upon her arrival, it was immediately evident, the Uraki high princess who had requested her services was her sister, Danielle Kyani. After their joyous reunion, Danielle quickly named her younger sister as Princess of the city of Arrakis, officially turning the upstart lowborn into nothing less than Uraki nobility. Juniper took her new position with a sense of pride, taking large portions of the city's administration and expansion under her own guidance and command.

Into the overgrowth
Despite her quick ascention within Uraka, the young Princess was not yet done, and when a national announcement was made stating that the province of Injah, just east of Arrakis, was looking for a new High Princess, she jumped at the chance with vigor and fervor, landing herself the position.

Quickly she began on development plans, she took careful care however to not disturb the old majestic forest... However, just as she had begun her work, she got a letter...

The sister's letter
"'Dear sister, I write this letter to you with the utmost melancholy, yet excitement, I have found myself to become a Lord-Protector within the Imperium, quite the promotion as I'm sure you're aware, however I'm afraid this leaves little time for me to manage my own city, our city, Arrakis, as such I find myself having to find a successor... I am afraid, yet ecstatic, that the only suitable successor is you, my sister. Thusly I extend to you a hand, a hand calling you to return to our city, to run it in my stead, I believe there is none better to take on this burden, I have the utmost faith in you.' - Danielle Kyani"

A Princess in a Golden City
After her return to Arrakis, Juniper Kyani continued to run the city as it had, as her sister's regent, however, soon after her return, horrible news reached her ears, her sister, Danielle Kyani had gone missing, vanished from her quarters, her palace, Juniper Kyani was left to take up all of her sister's roles, becoming a Lord-Protector herself. The ambitious princess had many plans for her city, beginning construction of multiple new projects and establishing a Regency Council, however it would not be, despite her great attempts she found the city of Arrakis a shadow of its former self, feeling disheartened, she resigned the city to its fate for a time, the sands watch over the golden palace...

The Return to the Republic, and the Chancellor's Reign
Juniper Kyani felt herself disheartened from her home in Uraka, and as such embarked west, to her old home, to Amarillo. The nation was functional, but in strife with their neighbor to the east, and with a non-worthy Chancellor at the helm, as such, for some time she worked, High Minister of the Exterior, carving from the world diplomatic ties to forge Amarillo's future down a strong path. As the elections for president came up however, she found acts of the Chancellor in dealing with tension un-acceptable, and sent to him an ultimatum, eventually leading to an impeachment vote. It passed, and after deliberating for a long time, she put herself up as a candidate for the new Chancellor, eventually winning the support of the people.

Juniper Kyani instituted many reforms within the Republic, notably the Judiciary and Chancellor reforms, she continues to keep the republic stable in her role as Chancellor, working on diplomacy and internal matters for the betterment of the Republic.

The Handing of Lord-Protectorship
After some time away, her Lord-Protectorship had grown quiet, however she knew who to give it to, as she could very much no longer hold the title. Alarich Myers, her nephew in fact, after some time fighting the Uraki bureaucracy, she eventually got the go ahead, granting her nephew her province, moving the seat of power from Arrakis, to Elric.

A New Future - The Call of a Brother
Residing in Amarillo, Juniper Kyani began to feel disconnected from the Amarillian people, she had been their Chancellor for some time now, however they treated her as a villain, her autocratic tendencies learnt from her time in Uraka had caught up to her, she acted more as monarch than servant to the people. She tried for some time to rectify this, to act benevolently within her role. But after the first crisis of Urubia, where she was viewed as a tyrant for being quick to act and ensure that the Republic did not fall, she became despondent within the republic...

Juniper Kyani received a letter from her brother, Catylist Reach. Within this letter her brother detailed his latest scheme, but as she read on, Juniper Kyani realized this was more than just a minor scheme... Catylist Reach had gathered the realms of Uraka, disparate and near, and rallied them all for independence, every town, every province, every lord-protectorship. A rebellion would happen, whether the Imperium tried to stop it or not.

Juniper Kyani returned home to the city of Arrakis, abandoning the Republic she had taken to and reclaiming her throne. She stood firm as the waves of Hark's threats and demands crashed upon her city walls, and when all was said and done, had gained independence for her birthright. Arktania was her empire, and it was free, however she couldn't help but feel some guilt for betraying her husband...
