#The life and time of juniper lee series

Many in the magical world consider her to be the greatest Te Xuan Ze ever. Jasmine Lee, or 'Ah-Mah' ( Template:Zh, voiced by Amy Hill) as Juniper calls her, is Juniper's grandmother, and the previous Te Xuan Ze.

She's also hoping for a breathtaking romance with her close friend Marcus Conner. She wishes to go to astronaut camp, but cannot because she can't leave Orchid Bay City while she is the Te Xuan Ze until another member of her family is chosen.

The juniper flower symbolizes protection, referring to Juniper's role as the Te Xuan Ze, protecting others. She has long black hair, and after she inherits the powers of the Te Xuan Ze, a lock of hair on the left side changes to pure white from root to end (Juniper's grandmother Jasmine, the former Te Xuan Ze, has the same stripe in her hair) and Juniper later dyes this reddish-pink. Juniper is relatively uneducated in the world of magic, mostly relying on brute force, a real talent for insults, and the advice of her grandmother, Ah-Mah, and her enchanted dog, Monroe, to defeat her foes. This eleven-year-old Chinese-American girl lives in Orchid Bay City, and is the current Te Xuan Ze. Juniper Lee (voiced by Lara Jill Miller) is the main character of the series. Template:Overly detailed Juniper 'June' Lee The show needs a spine, and needs a place to work from. I've only tapped into it a little in the show, but for me, knowing it's there is important. There's a rather massive backstory to the whole thing, which really provides a spine to build from. At the end of the day, it's about a little girl who fights monsters. Judd: IвЂ™m sounding like a broken record, but it's kind of like Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets The Simpsons. Interviewer: WeвЂ™ve touched on just about everything else, so hit us with the high concept. Juniper does follow in the footsteps of Buffy, as stated in the quote below: Winick has stated that Juniper Lee was inspired by both The Simpsons and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The show has a fairly campy and lighthearted take on the genre, often makes fun of itself, and rarely seems to take itself seriously. Maintaining the balance often interferes with her personal life, including her schoolwork and her social life, but she always manages to keep everything flowing. She can also use various kinds of magic to assist her. To accomplish her task, she has been magically enhanced, making her far stronger and faster than ordinary humans. Juniper has recently been made the new Te Xuan Ze, the protector and the keeper of the balance between the human and magic worlds. The magic and human worlds have been separated by a magical barrier, known as 'The Veil,' which prevents ordinary humans from seeing any magic-related events or the creatures related to them. Based on Winick's adopted hometown of San Francisco, California, the city is a hub for magical activity and is filled with various monsters and demons, both good and evil.
