Background / History

Juno first approaches Adam as a classmate and begins tutoring him.

Adam's interaction with her grants him recurring Wisdom increases, while Juno comes to value him as her first self-acknowledged friend. 5 7 85 90

In high school, she develops an interest in medicine and biology, correctly infers Adam's ambition to become a doctor, and chooses biological sciences with the stated possibility that they may become doctors together. She later attends Harvard, while Adam attends Columbia. 21 38 128

Juno and Karen become Adam's closest companions in hunting, animal dissection, and early surgical practice. Juno also encourages Adam's relationships and writing, becoming the first and most enthusiastic follower of Lord of the Mysteries. 49 124 125 128 245

When Amazing Amy becomes a threat to Adam, Juno leads Karen and Heather in abducting, interrogating, and psychologically breaking Amy. She initially attempts to redirect Amy through the proposed publication of Gone Girl, but recognizes Amy's deception through intuition and kills her before Amy can act against her. 251 254 256 258 260

As Adam's fame and circle of influence grow, Juno shifts toward organizing intelligence, recruiting allies, and countering threats before they reach him. She funds the Sanctuary neuroscience institute, cultivates the hacker A Long Sigh, persuades Miranda Frost into becoming a double agent, and helps build the Little Red Riding Hood network. 711 772 1037 1051 1054
