Given Name:  Junco (Said:  Jun-ko)

Gender: Female

Mate: None

Lineage: Two husky- type breeds.

Siblings:  Possibly, but unknown.

Personality:  Sweet and well meaning, she likes to believe optimistically. She likes everything to be right with the world, and honestly cares with all her heart for those less fortunate than she. Junco is fairly dependent on her owner and her friends, and expects gentlemanly behavior from the males around her- meaning that they will do things for her. She is fairly plain and always polite, and could be taken as a pretty old-fashioned and typical girl. But she does have her more independent and wild side… A rare sight.

Passions:  Is a pretty passion-less girl. She likes to watch sled-dogs run by from her owner’s front porch. She is a possible team replacement but despises the sled, and her owner would hesitate if asked permission to train her. She also has a bit of a crush on Kirby. She also flirts with Poncho because he flatters her so and knows how to treat a girl.

Aversions: Profanity, obscene or inappropriateness… Anything that is outside of her normal world. Sled racing.

Bio:  She was found in a box with Seymour and Roxy, a note saying “Rejected- Free”. The meaning unknown. Junco was too young to remember any of this. The lady who came to take her wished to take all the tiny pups home, but knew she could only take one. When the lady was soon wed to a prosperous gentleman, Junco was given a very adequate home and slightly pampered life. Not ridiculously pampered, but showered with love and everything she could ask for. When she meets again Seymour and her owner takes him in for a short time- she learns to like to lovable screw up that he is. Seeing as they both have good intentions, they seek to do Nome some charity.

Relation to Balto: It is whispered among the canines of Nome (mostly by the jealous) that she is the result of an accident between Jenna and Steele. She ignores these and claims to have never met Jenna- and she has no idea who Steele is.  She often lightly flirts with the Kodi’s mail team. Dusty is a companion of sorts, though she views Dusty as a little too boyish to be caught hanging out with her anywhere outside of the boiler room.
