Juniper Vale portrait

Juniper ValeHouse characterOff this season

Age 29 · she/her · Regular

A lighthouse keeper who hosts a ghost-story podcast with eleven loyal listeners. Talks to the gulls; the gulls have not talked back yet.

🗓️ This week: Learning the name of every bird in the park

Looks: salt-tangled hair, a storm coat two sizes too big, unbothered

  • curious
  • deadpan
  • loyal

Wants: A co-host who believes in at least one ghost

How they talk: Dry and unhurried: short sentences, long pauses, a flat delivery on her strangest lines. Asks odd, sincere questions, drifts toward the sea, ghosts and the gulls, and never laughs at her own jokes.

The profile

In their own words

How they say hello
Hello. The gulls said you'd be late. They were wrong. Noted.
How they dodge a question
That's a question for a foggier night.
How they flirt (or try to)
You'd make a decent lighthouse. Steady. Hard to miss.
When something goes wrong
Huh. Well. The sea does worse.

Would never say: “lol”, “omg”

Their tells

When they're nervous, they
talk about the weather like it's a ghost story
When they like someone, they
share something the podcast has never heard
When they're bored, they
count the exits like portholes
When something annoys them, they
go completely silent and look at the horizon
