Junie is a co-leader of the Castle Settlement. She is a supporting character in Tom Clancy's The Division: Broken Dawn.
After accepting a group of refugees from the ruined Mandarin Oriental Hotel settlement led by Mike Walker, she and Walker became its informal community leaders.
Biography[]
According to Violet, Junie was one of the Castle Settlement's leaders from its inception, and once had children of her own. After the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Settlement was flooded in early April, the settlement took in a group of refugees led by Mike Walker. She and Walker assumed cooperative leadership of the community and guardianship of the various orphaned children, including Violet and six others.
Tom Clancy's The Division: Broken Dawn[]
Three weeks after resettling at the Castle, Junie and Walker began debating about the True Sons, a band of JTF deserters who had begun taking over nearby facilities in southern D.C., including the Capitol Building and Air & Space Museum. He was certain they would eventually try to control the Castle, while Junie insisted the JTF would protect them.
During a trip to the Lincoln Memorial, Junie, Walker, and the children were attacked by a band of hostile scavengers, and Junie attempted to lead the children to safety while Walker drew the attackers' fire. The group was ultimately rescued by two Division agents, Fujikawa and Pearson, who escorted them back to the settlement.
As the True Sons' territory grew, JTF officers warned the Castle that their patrols were being spread thin, and advised the residents to relocate to other settlements such as Ford's Theater for their safety. Shortly afterwards, a group of True Sons arrived and offered them protection in exchange for tribute. After some deliberation, Junie and Walker held a communal vote on their allegiance, which ultimately favored the JTF by a wide margin. They began fortifying the Castle's defenses and petitioned the JTF for weapons and reinforcements. Against their wishes, Junie attempted to relocate the children to the Theater Settlement, but they were turned away due to overcrowding.
The True Sons eventually launched an attack on the settlement, and Junie joined the other residents in its defense; the children were later rescued by April Kelleher, who led them to the White House. Agent Alani Kelso later told Kelleher that the settlers successfully fended off the assault, but Junie's fate is not known.
Personality[]
Junie and Walker act as guardians for Violet and the other orphaned children at the Castle. Junie attempts to shelter the children from the rampant violence in D.C. and is sensitive to anything that might upset them, such as her frequent arguments with Walker or the settlement's strained relations with the JTF. She even attempts to set up a school to continue their education and keep them occupied, but is ultimately not successful.
Of the Castle's leadership, Junie is more averse to violence and trusting of the JTF for security, which leads to indignant anger when they are instead left to fend for themselves. Once it becomes clear that conflict with the True Sons is inevitable, she attempts to relocate the children to the Theater Settlement for their own safety and to avoid exposing them to more bloodshed. In turn, the children see her as a surrogate mother figure, and broke down in tears at the prospect of being sent away to the Theater without her.
Trivia[]
- Although Violet describes Junie as "the leader of the Castle from the beginning," Tom Clancy's The Division 2 states that the Castle Settlement was actually founded and led by Mike Snow, a True Sons defector. Whether this represents a canon contradiction is unclear.
