Juniper Lee is the main character of the Cartoon Network series The Life and Times of Juniper Lee. She is an 11 years old, Asian girl blessed with magical powers that grant her the title of Te Xuan Ze at the age of 11, thus becoming the protector of the hidden world of magic. It is her duty, as Te Xuan Ze, to keep the balance between good and bad magic and keep the world of humanity in the dark about its magical counterpart. But, because of her young age, Juniper faces many struggles in balancing her normal and magical life, and keeping her powers a secret from her family.
Origins: Awakening as Te Xuan Ze
Not much is known about Juniper's early life aside that she was born a Chinese American like her brothers. She grew up as a normal little girl in Orchid Bay City until she earned the powers of the Te Xuan Ze through her magical lineage.
One day, while visiting her Ah-Mah, Juniper was plagued by a painful stomach ache. This stomach ache was later revealed to be part of the activation of her Te Xuan Ze powers, and it eventually reached its zenith when some demons attempted to inflitrate the house and eliminate the new Te Xuan Ze. After a short trance-like spell, June discovered that she was able to see the monsters attacking the house, and that she had developed superhuman strength and agility. In addition to this, one streak of her hair had turned white much like her Ah-Mah's (which is in fact the Te Xuan Ze trademark). After getting rid of the demons and saving her brother Ray Ray, June took up the mantle of Te Xuan Ze to replace her grandmother.
Powers[]
Being the Te Xuan Ze, June possesses many magical and superhuman abilities that help her deal with the
different creatures of the magical world, such as:
Superhuman Strength: June is superhumanly strong and is typically able to lift and take down giant monsterwith little effort. She is strong enough literally punch her way out of 200 feet of concrete and easily lift a 3.716 pound monster. This places her strenght level slightly over 2 tons.
Superhuman Speed: She is capable of running and accelerating to high speeds which a human could never achieve.
Superhuman Stamina: June's musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. She can physically exert herself at peak capacity for hours before fatigue begins to impair her.
Superhuman Durability: The tissues of her body are considerably harder and more resistant to physical injury than those of an ordinary human. Juniper is capable of withstanding great impact forces, falls from great heights, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining any injury.
Superhuman Agility: June's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.
Superhuman Reflexes: Her reflexes are heightened in a similar manner and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.
Magic Vision: Basic ability of seeing through the magical barrier.
Magic: June can also use a wide array of magical artifacts (stones, scepters, wands, etc.) to aid her inbattle. The spell she uses the most is the banishing spell.
Magic Immunity: She has some degree of inmunity to some magical effects, I.E. Sandman's sleeping spell.
Magical Energy Absorption: As a Te Xuan Ze she can tap into the magical energy that empowers her when she is in the elder's realm in order to enhance her powers. After absorbing magic from the source of her powers, she was able to defeat Kai Yee.
In one occasion she stated that she doesn't have any magical power even though her powers come from an ancient magic and she can do spells, as well as other characters have said that she has magical powers. This makes the nature of her powers ambiguous at the best.
Abilities[]
Knowledge of Sorcery: June is trained in witchcraft. Her sorceress is part of the set of powers from her Te Xuan Ze abilities.
Experienced Combatant: June has no formal knowledge of hand-to-hand combat. However, her powers enable her to execute fighting moves with superhuman force, at an opponent and her career as the Te Xuan Ze has given her plenty of combat experience. According to Ah-Mah, in very little time she has bbecome an extremely adept warrior.
Weaponry Mastery: June has some mastery in the use of weapons such a swords, and mallets. She was also a capable user of the Wushu staff.
Guitar Player: She is a proficient guitar player.
