Juni

Juni (ユーニ) is a video game character from the Street Fighter fighting game series. She made her first appearance in Street Fighter Alpha 3, where she was a brainwashed female assassin belonging to Bison's Elite Guard or "The Dolls." Her name is German for June.

Street Fighter Alpha 3
In the arcade version of Street Fighter Alpha 3, Juni and Juli are a pair of sub-bosses whom the player face prior to the final battle against M. Bison. The player face Juni and Juli at the same time in a two-on-one fight similar to the Dramatic Battle mode in the original Street Fighter Alpha. The two characters are unlockable in the arcade version, but they have no storyline in the actual game. The characters are actually head-swaps of Cammy (who previously appeared in Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold and X-Men vs. Street Fighter), with the explanation given that Cammy belongs to the same unit as Juni and Juli (Bison's Elite Guard). However, the characters have their own special and super techniques. Juni's attacks in particular are mostly based upon Cammy's appearance in the Vs. series, including an aerial version of Spiral Arrow and a version of push-blocking called "Psycho Shield". In the American instruction booklet for Alpha 3, Juni's Spiral Arrow and Cannon Spike where named (seemingly erroneaously) as Psycho Crusher and Psycho Shot respectively.

There are ten other members of Bison's Elite Guard, but they don't appear as fighters in the game.

When Alpha 3 was ported to home consoles, the designers made Juni and Juli part of the default roster and gave both characters their individual storylines and endings, with Juni assigned to track down Ryu and Juli assigned to track down Cammy.

Backstory
All of the Dolls were teenage girls of around 16 years old who were captured by Shadaloo and brainwashed to be M. Bison's assassins and bodyguards. Cammy was a female clone of Bison, but was the same age and acted the same way the others, though it was later revealed that she could control the Psycho Drive. They were completely loyal to Bison and acted and talked like robots. Originally the Dolls could not live if Bison had died. The brainwashing corrupted them so much they would have collapsed and died. They were high ranking members in Shadaloo, only lower than Bison and the other Grand Masters: Balrog, Vega and Sagat. Eventually, Cammy broke free from Bison's mind control (apparently with help from Dhalsim) and managed to do the same for the others. When Bison appeared, they collectively attacked him. Bison informed Cammy that she was his clone, and that if he died, she and the other Dolls would die as well. Cammy fought against his psychic probing and rescued the Dolls from Bison's control with the Psycho Drive. Cammy led the Dolls out the Shadaloo base and then fell unconscious, rendering the Dolls in a state of amnesia. Cammy was later found by Vega and taken to the Delta Red H.Q. by him. It was unknown if the Dolls survived by that time. In a trailer for Super Street Fighter IV, it was revealed that the Dolls were still alive but unconscious, strapped to stretchers and were being placed in capsules. It is still unknown if they regained their memories. Juni makes an appearance in Cammy's storyline. She was hospitalized after an encounter with Juri, and is being looked over by Cammy. When she wakes up (due to Cammy's pet cat jumping onto her), she is greeted by Cammy. It is presumed that Juni has amnesia, as Cammy comments (if she retained any memories, it would be her memory of Cammy).

The UDON comic
In the UDON comic, Noembelu and Juli are both being sought after by T. Hawk. Noembelu is a member of the Thunderfoot Tribe whose family is close to T. Hawk. Juli is the daughter of a German doctor who provided care for the Thunderfoot Tribe. The doctor was found murdered and Juli disappeared. According to T. Hawk, Noembelu's name is Little Eagle. As for Juni she was kidnapped directly from Germany. Supposedly her brainwashing is the most complete of all the Dolls and her first mission, ordered by Bison to test her loyalty, is to murder her own family. She accomplished her mission flawlessly.

Xiayu and Yanyu are depicted as Triad assassins who attempt to assassinate Fei Long and Chun-Li.

In addition, it is also revealed how similar Decapre is to Cammy in the comic. Supposedly, Decapre was a test subject of sorts to perfect the procedure to bring about Cammy's creation. As a result, Decapre fights as Cammy did when she was "Killer Bee", as Cammy notes when she engages Decapre in a fight at Shadaloo headquarters. In the comic, neither Cammy nor Decapre are given any nation of origin. This is likely in part due to the fact that both are creations of Shadaloo and both were intended to be vessels for Bison's consciousness. Since Decapre is apparently a failed attempt at this process, the reason she wears the mask - at least in the comic - is because the left side of her face looks as if it has been severely burned.

Juni's last appearance shows Cammy Thigh Pressing her into the back of Juli, In SF 2 Turbo # 11. We dont see what becomes of her after the island erupts but most likely the other street fighters brought her with them to safety.
