Junzae Rosh

"'Just because I'm complaining doesn't mean I need help! [...] Ayla, if I take a vacation, this paperwork will never get done. When I say that I'm the only person who can decipher the nonsense in these bills- I mean that literally.' -Junzae, when Aylanur tries to get them to take a break from the Senate."Junzae Rosh is the head of the Council and a supporting character in all arcs centered in Nmon Lau.

Biography
Junzae's early life is currently unknown, though they don't appear to be close to their family.

At some point before Aylanur moved to Ursisa, they campaigned for improved waterlines, which was shot down in the Senate and which earned them scorn and mockery from their peers. They appear early on when they accidentally spill some coffee on Aylanur, walking her to the bathroom while apologizing the whole way for burning her.

Their next appearance is during Aylanur's reconstruction of Ursisa, where they often attempt to block her movements and extralegal actions. They stop doing this after Aylanur drags them aside and explains that she has to act now, and worry about the morality and legality of it later, after which they agree to help her in rebuilding the country. From that point on the two become firm allies, with Junzae even being the one to reassure her during Duc's birth.

Later on during the Obsidian Trio's arcs, Junzae appears infrequently as a voice of reason and authority who often struggles with getting the Council to listen to them.

Personality
Junzae is defined by their strong moral compass and loyalty to their country. They navigate the treacherous world of politics, and even before Aylanur came into power, they proved to be important enough to bring a bill for public infrastructure all the way to the Senate, though the bill failed due to a lack of Royal approval. They believe in doing things the legal way before all else, and expresses distaste for rioters and disorder, as shown when they privately confided in Arusa while she was in the hospital that the people protesting for the criminalization of animal testing for medical trials made their skin crawl. However, they seem to appreciate political friction and are shown repeatedly having debates of philosophy, morality, and what should be controlled by the government with Aylanur and later on Rhiannon.
