'''{{PAGENAME}}''' are a pair of mechanical musicians, introduced to the cast in [[Act III]] when they encounter [[Conway]], [[Shannon]], and [[Ezra]] stranded on the highway. The two fix Conway's truck, and travel onward to perform "[[Too Late to Love You]]," a song originally sung by [[Lysette]], at [[the Lower Depths]] tavern. After their performance, Junebug and Johnny decide to accompany Conway, Shannon and Ezra on their travels.
Johnny once found a pet frog (or toad, depending on who players ask) in a shoebox on a playground and kept it for about six months. According to [[Will]], they are frequent travelers on the [[Echo River]].

== Appearance ==
Ever since running away, Junebug and Johnny have been adjusting and detailing themselves to reflect their identities and to appear "specific." They both frequently alter their physical appearances between scenes, changing outfits and hair colors. However, Junebug consistently boasts a half-shaved hairstyle while Johnny wears dark sunglasses and a typically-orange flattop hairstyle.
Johnny has a passion for sound and a particular affinity for animals; the two may explain that he enjoys the digital cacophony of the arcade or the animals at the petting zoo. There are a number of stops along the [[Echo River]] at which Johnny tries (often unsuccessfully) to record various sounds with his tape recorder.

[[File:LorettaLynn.png|thumb|right|'''Left:''' Loretta Lynn. <br />'''Center:''' Junebug's original design, as seen in the Kickstarter trailer. <br />'''Right:''' Junebug's final design, as seen in [[Act III]].]]
The character of Junebug was originally based on [[wikipedia:Loretta Lynn|Loretta Lynn]], a country singer-songwriter known for her song "Coal Miner's Daughter." Although her final design contains significant changes, Junebug's extravagant blue gown remains a reference to Lynn. [[Jake Elliott|Jake]] has also stated her original character took inspiration from June Carter Cash.
