What the Show is About
The series follows a girl named Juniper Lee, who lives in Orchid Bay City. This city is full of magic and creatures like monsters and demons. Some are good, and some are evil.
There's a hidden magical barrier called "the Veil." It stops regular people from seeing anything magical. Juniper has recently become the new Te Xuan Ze. This special role means she protects the balance between the human and magical worlds.
To do her job, Juniper has amazing powers. She is much stronger, faster, and more agile than normal humans. She can also use different spells. Keeping the balance often gets in the way of her normal life, like school or hanging out with friends. But she always finds a way to manage everything.
Who are the Characters?
Main Characters
- Juniper "June" Kim Lee (voiced by Lara Jill Miller) is the main character. Juniper is an 11-year-old Chinese-American girl. She is the current Te Xuan Ze. Juniper is still learning about the magic world. She often uses her strength, quick wit, and advice from her grandmother, Ah-Mah, and her magical dog, Monroe. After she gets her powers, a part of her hair turns pink. This color is a sign of the Te Xuan Ze. Juniper wants to go to astronaut camp, but she can't leave Orchid Bay City while she is the Te Xuan Ze.
- Jasmine Lee (voiced by Amy Hill) - Jasmine Lee is Juniper's grandmother. Juniper calls her "Ah-Mah" (which means grandma). She was the Te Xuan Ze before Juniper. Many in the magic world think she was the best Te Xuan Ze ever. She is calm but tough when needed. She gives Juniper advice on dealing with the magical world. Even though she is 69, she still has some magical speed and strength. However, she gets tired quickly because of her age.
- Ray Ray Lee (voiced by Kath Soucie) - Ray Ray Lee is Juniper's energetic 8-year-old little brother. Like Juniper, he can see through the magic barrier. This happened when some of Juniper's powers accidentally transferred to him. He is very excited about the magic world. He often gets into trouble because he is careless. Ray Ray and Juniper have a typical sibling rivalry, but they care for each other. He has a crush on Lila, who is a Sasquatch. Ray Ray is now studying magic spells to help Juniper in battles.
- Monroe Connery Boyd Carlyle McGregor Scott V (Monroe for short, voiced by Carlos Alazraqui) - Monroe is an enchanted pug dog from Scotland. He is very smart about the magic world. He has been alive for centuries and has helped many Te Xuan Ze. Juniper treats him like a pet, even though he is very wise. Monroe can be understood by those who see through the magic barrier. Others only hear him bark.
- Dennis Lee (voiced by Alexander Polinsky) - Dennis Lee is Juniper's grumpy older brother. He loves manga and video games. He doesn't like anyone touching his things. At first, he didn't believe Juniper or Ray Ray. Later, he learned that Juniper is the Te Xuan Ze. After working with Juniper to defeat villains, he started to trust her. Now, he sometimes helps Juniper and Ray Ray.
- Jody Irwin (voiced by Colleen Villard) - Jody Irwin is Juniper's best friend. She is usually the happiest in the group. She always tries to cheer everyone up. Juniper tries not to let Jody down, but her Te Xuan Ze duties often make it hard. Still, Jody always forgives her.
- Ophelia Ramírez (voiced by Candi Milo) - Ophelia Ramírez is one of Juniper's friends. She is a gothic, often grumpy, and has pinkish-purple hair. She doesn't like many things, especially girly stuff. She really dislikes Roger. When she is in charge, she wants everything done perfectly.
- Roger Radcliffe (voiced by Tara Strong)- Roger Radcliffe is another one of Juniper's friends. He is the school's clown and is very unpredictable. He often asks Ophelia on dates, but she always says no. Roger likes to imitate famous people or songs in funny ways. His family is wealthy, but he is still a cheerful person.
Supporting Characters
- Marcus Conner (voiced by Phil LaMarr) - Marcus Conner is handsome and popular. Juniper has a big crush on him, but she won't admit it. Marcus is friends with everyone and is always laid-back. He often looks out for Juniper.
- Michael and Barbara Lee (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui and Candi Milo) - Michael and Barbara Lee are Juniper, Ray Ray, and Dennis's parents. Michael was supposed to be the Te Xuan Ze, but the power skipped him and went to Juniper. They cannot see magic or magical creatures. They love their children and sometimes discipline them.
- Ms. Gomez (voiced by Candi Milo) - Ms. Gomez is a teacher at Juniper's school. Ray Ray once accidentally turned her into a rhinoceros. He thought she was happier that way!
- William (voiced by Martin Jarvis) - William is Monroe's father. He used to help the Te Xuan Ze before Monroe. He often teases Monroe about his weight. He is very proud of his Scottish heritage.
- Melissa O'Malley (voiced by Tara Strong) - Melissa O'Malley is Juniper's rival at school. She is jealous of Juniper because Juniper has a boyfriend, Marcus. Melissa often tries to break up Juniper and Marcus. She has two friends who help her with her plans.
- Cletus and Gus (voiced by Jeff Bennett and Dee Bradley Baker) - Cletus and Gus are two monsters who are friends with Juniper and Ray Ray. They appear often in the show.
- Lila (voiced by Tara Strong) - Lila is a Sasquatch. She is smarter than other Sasquatch. She likes movies, and Ray Ray has a crush on her. Lila has super strength and quick reflexes, like Juniper. She knows a lot about surviving in the woods. Monroe used a spell to remove most of her hair so she could look human. She then joined Juniper's school to learn about humans.
