Juniper Jinx

She may just be a tiny grasshopper, but Juniper Jinx has a reputation that makes her seem larger than a giant. She is famous for her mighty brawn, and even mightier insults. When Jinx turned twelve, she was apprenticed to her Uncle Jasper to study the art of magic, but she failed miserably at this occupation. During her apprenticeship, she accidentaly drank a magic potion that gave her incredible strength.

When Uncle Jasper disappeared in the Forests of Wretch that lie beyond the magic curtain of Een, Jinx decided to train to become a guard for the Een elders. She excelled in this role and eventually became captain of the Een guard, with special duty to protect Winter Woodsong.

Jinx held this role until she was fired by Burdock Brown for being an Een critter.

Because of her strength and courage, Jinx was chosen by the magic orb to go in search of the Box of Whispers. The heroic grasshopper also joined Kendra Kandlestar in her quest for the Door to Unger.

Jinx does not have many friends. She voices a great dislike for Professor Bumblebean and his great intellect, but in truth, Jinx is a bit envious of him.

Jinx has many tiny weapons including swords, spears, and axes. In battle, she wields her weapons skillfully, jumping quickly about her enemies with her long and powerful legs.
