Text Cut: HER STORY The relationship between Juniper Beery and Oceanus Katsaros was a chance encounter that resulted in love at first sight. Despite the unlikely odds of their paths ever crossing, fate brought them together when Juniper, a Ministry worker, travelled to Greece to research and Oceanus, a seafarer, offered a discounted fare to use his ship. As Juniper explored the beauty of Greece, she couldn't help but be drawn to Oceanus, who was immediately captivated by her stunning appearance and captivating presence. He was smitten the moment he laid eyes on her, likening her to a Siren. Their initial acquaintance quickly evolved as their mutual admiration and attraction grew. In no time, their relationship had transformed, like a Kelpie, into something much deeper.
Months after her work-related excursion had ended, Juniper and Oceanus decided to extend their travels. They spent their time exploring the Mediterranean Sea and its rich diversity of plant life. The two adventurers were drawn to the beauty and serenity of the islands, and eventually found themselves settling down in the picturesque town of Mykonos. Juniper found work in a local floral shop, where she honed her skills and became known for her creative and unique arrangements. Meanwhile, Oceanus offered his seafaring services as a guide to anyone eager to explore the waters. Despite the lack of a formal marriage and financial stability, the couple was content in their simple lifestyle and were even contemplating starting a family. Little did the couple know that two seeds had been planted already as Juniper was unexpectedly pregnant with twins.
Fate, however, had other plans in mind for the two lovers: one day Oceanus went out to sea and never returned. For days Juniper waited, eager to share with her partner her latest discovery that had nothing to do with plants or fungi. The good news of her pregnancy was overshadowed though when a sailor knocked on her door weeks later to inform her that Oceanus and a group of cryptozoologists had been found. The sailor revealed that the vessel had been struck by a violent tempest, with gale force winds and towering waves battering the ship beyond repair and leaving no survivors. The news of Oceanus' death left Juniper devastated and heartbroken. Despite her overwhelming sadness, she found solace in the fact that she was carrying his children and felt a sense of comfort knowing that a part of him would always remain with her.
Juniper was filled with a mix of emotions as she welcomed the arrival of her twins, Gillyweed Artemis and Mandrake Apollo. Gillyweed had hair that was unruly and wild, reminiscent of a slimy rat tail, while Mandrake's cries and screams echoed through the night, causing Juniper much distress. Months after her experience of giving birth to her two children, Juniper was faced with the daunting reality of being a single mother. The pressure of supporting herself and two newborns became too much, and she realised she needed help. With nowhere else to turn, Juniper returned to her childhood home in Devon, England, to seek the support of her parents. With their help, Juniper was able to get back on her feet, and the three of them soon moved to a small apartment in London. Despite the challenges they faced, Juniper was determined to give her children the best life possible and she knew they would be able to make it through together.
Gillyweed and Mandrake were always like two sides of a coin – they complemented each other yet were unique in their own ways. The family, especially Juniper, considered them as a package deal, always together. Growing up, the twins shared almost everything – from their clothes to their classes and friends. But as they grew older, their individuality started to take shape, and their temperaments became more distinct. Gillyweed was known for her melancholic personality, often seen with a serious expression, whereas Mandrake was the life of the party, always cheerful and optimistic. Despite their differences, the bond between the twins has remained strong.
