backstory: jun spent her very early life with her mother after her father, a soldier, died in battle soon before she was born. she was (as far as she remembers) attacked by a magical wolf that came through a portal when she was out fetching water, and now she turns into a wolf every full moon and has to try not also do so every time she gets too angry :))) she was taken from the mother she barely remembers by church agents when she was a small child after her transformations became known to the local priest, whom her mother went to for help. the school promised they would try to fix her :))))) she remembers them doing Something to her that involved her shapeshifting, tho she can never seem to remember any details of these attempts other than pain, so she tries not to think about them. she throws herself into her studies to keep herself distracted, and becomes a bit of a savant, starting to help teach younger students around age 16. she became a full professor at age 18, one of the youngest professors ever to work at hexwyn, and she has been teaching ever since. she loves the kids and is very good at her job, but she has a tendency to ask too many questions about where all these students are coming from and why the school admin won't let her help them send letters home. she always remembers getting a good explanation for all her questions, though again, she never seems to remember the actual details. despite her definite talents and competence, she has been overlooked for several promotions, and even her own practical powers have appeared to plateau for no discernible reason, though she continues to spend a lot of time and effort in independent study. even with her frustrations and challenges, however, she does love her students and doesn't need anything more. at least, that's what she tries to remember.
