Despite the wild nature and untamed ferocity of most of her akota brethren, Juniper is well trained and naturally pacifistic. A patient yet firm upbringing has quelled even her most aggressive and territorial instincts, and her natural intelligence and will to please have taught her that it's better to be compassionate than it is to be aggressive (especially if treats are involved). The result is an even tempered akota with a heart of gold and the patience of a saint.
