"Hope manifests everywhere. But Hope itself cannot be used to hurt others. Hope is kind. Hope is warm and sweet. And I have become the manifestation of the strongest aspect of Hope there is. Vala's Heart.
Your grief and your wish to see me again... to your wish to see me alive and well. My smile... everything about me... everything about me is a lie. I'm the most dangerous threat to The Black Legion."
- June revealing her true nature to Aaron
WARNING: The information on this page is considered MATURE. Darker and heavier themes are utilized in this character's story.
June Lee Sung was a C Rank Auxiliary Shadow to The Black Legion Organization under the codename Jubilee and reported to SS Ranked Outer Shadow Aaron Hope. Due to being Aaron's youngest and closest Auxiliary Shadow, Aaron affectionately referred to June as his favorite, buying her gifts, spoiling her, and as such, June was one of the most important people in Aaron's life, as she was the one to help Aaron come to terms with the death of his late girlfriend, Jessie Lane.
Specializing in Magic Jamming and Soul Manipulation, June was capable of severely weakening, and at times, inflicting lethal damage to her enemies by draining their life force. The extent to which June's abilities were capable of reaching was never fully explored, but when June was psychologically broken by Baron Dallas for several months, part of her true power as The Jubilee fully manifested, allowing her to fight on equal grounds with Aaron Hope when he was still an A+ Ranked Outer Shadow. However, Aaron was arguably extremely reluctant to hurt her.
On one fateful mission involving the assassination of Jekyll the God of Warfare, June, Aaron, and her fellow Auxiliary Shadows were brutally defeated due to Jekyll's immense might. In a desperate attempt to allow Aaron, Sarah, Annelise, Bryce, and Robbie to escape from Jekyll, who used Vala's Mark to inhibit the Shadows, June unleashed the full power of her Magic Jamming Ability to nullify Vala's influence. However, the sheer amount of power that coursed through her body caused June to remain frozen throughout the duration of their escape, allowing Jekyll to land a fatal blow to June by shooting the young girl in the head, killing her instantly.
June's death was one of Aaron's most heartbreaking and difficult losses in his entire career, as her death haunted both Aaron and June's fellow Auxiliary Shadows for many years. Aaron in particular, harbors an extreme grudge against Jekyll as well as himself, believing that he had gotten a fourteen-year-old girl killed on duty under his orders.
During the events of Beyond the Gods, it was revealed that June had actually survived her ordeal against Jekyll, and that she was actually a Vessel of Vala, representing her heart. Her true name was revealed to be June Lucia, and had acted as a sleeper agent to become loved by Aaron, allowing her to be able to kill the man she loved against her wishes.
Contents
Appearance
As Auxiliary Shadow Jubilee
June is described to be a petite, short, young girl with blue hair and blue eyes. Aaron found June to have a cute, innocent, and adorable face despite her circumstances. In addition to her kind personality, Aaron frequently spoiled her with gifts and presents including stuffed animals, candy, and sweets.
In her casual wear, June frequently wore baggy clothes including a large hoodie and sweatpants, as she claimed that the bagginess made her feel warm and cozy. In warmer weather, she would wear baggy t-shirts.
During missions, June wore a black leather jacket with bright accents that had the words "JUBILEE" written along the side. The bright colors on her jacket contrasted with the attire of many other operatives in the Black Legion.
As June slowly developed romantic feelings for Aaron, she began to dye her hair blonde, causing her hair to be streaked with hints of her original blue as her hair would grow out over time.
Beyond the Gods
In Beyond the Gods, June's appearance changes drastically, causing Aaron to momentarily be unable to recognize her despite his usual perceptiveness. June's hair was no longer combed neatly, causing her messy bangs to cover her face. Additionally, the stress and emotional despair that June had experienced due to feeling abandoned by Aaron, as well as the sexual abuse she suffered from the other Vessels of Vala caused her hair to turn white-blonde. Due to her circumstances, June's face, though matured over time, has now become an emotionless husk, with noticeable red bags under her eyes. June's body, though taller and more mature, was noted to be slightly more emaciated, evidence of malnutrition.
As a result of the contradictory nature of her powers, June was discarded by her comrades, causing her to be neglected and deprived of basic necessities, including clothes. This was reflected by the fact that June was frequently seen wearing rags and tattered dresses.
Background
Born as June Lee Sung, she was the daughter of two coal miners in what Aaron had referred to, as the Dystopian Coal World. Being a daughter, June's fate was to be a concubine to The Baron in exchange for additional financial aid to the family. June lived her life under the impression that she was someone who did not deserve dreams, however would play with pieces of coal in secret, revealing her desire to find a husband who could save her from her abysmal life. This would come true when Outer Shadow Dainsleif appeared in her world under the contract to assassinate the Baron as per Inner Shadow Jun Gasket's command.
Despite the two being close, June and Aaron had differing ideologies as to how one would approach life. Believing that a true friend meant to sacrifice oneself for the sake of others, June insisted Aaron kill the Baron even if it meant sending her family into bankruptcy. Aaron, on the other hand, refused to finish his contract if it meant causing June's life to become worse. The differing opinions eventually escalated into a full-blown argument and Aaron chose to sever ties with the girl. Depressed and with no direction to the future, June accepted her fate to Baron Dallas, who captured her and subjected her to severe sexual abuse amongst his friends, breaking her psychologically. June would remain broken and traumatized even when Aaron returned to rescue her. After many months of recovery, June finally opened up, returning to her kind and innocent nature.
June quickly became Aaron's most loyal Auxiliary Shadow, accompanying the Outer Shadow wherever he went and even joining in on his pranks and antics, taking responsibility for her significantly more childish superior and apologizing for the trouble he caused. As June spent more time with Aaron, she slowly began to fall in love with her Outer Shadow due to his kindness, energy, and caring nature.
First Death
During a mission to assassinate the God of Warfare, Jekyll, June was killed in an attempt to allow Aaron and their comrades to escape. Jekyll fired a bullet that pierced June's skull, killing her instantly. When a frenzied Aaron fought Jekyll in response to what he did to his Auxiliary Shadow, June's body was whisked away from the breached hull of X8, causing her to tumble across reality where she ended up in an unknown universe. There, June was resuscitated by Vala's followers. It is unknown what happened to June during this time, however, June stated that when she was brought back to life, someone who "bore a remarkable resemblance to Aaron" took advantage of her weakened state, subjecting her to psychological ridicule and physical beatings. The severe treatment June received from "Aaron" sent the young girl into an ordeal of heavy heartbreak. Betrayed and hurt, June slowly reverted back to her emotionless self.
Beyond the Gods
During the events of Beyond the Gods, it is learned that June was sent back to Jun Gasket's world, where she, alongside the Vessels of Vala would take over the realm under the influence of Supreme Primordial Aran Sol. Though what happened to June during this duration is not explicitly stated, it can be assumed that June was horribly mistreated by her fellow Vessels. June was stationed on Everbreak Hill, and at some point, she had assisted Auxiliary Shadow Sigurd in locating Jun Gasket. However, it was revealed that June's desire was to either kill Aaron or have Aaron kill her, as she was Vala's Heart - an entity whose powers became more effective against individuals whom she had fallen in love with. Sigurd's desire to protect Aaron against anyone meant that she would protect Aaron from even June, causing June to accuse Annelise of taking her place as Aaron's right hand. The cyborg berated June, claiming that Aaron did not need someone mentally unstable like June in her life, causing the two to part ways.
