=== References to Loretta Lynn ===
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.
=== References to the transgender experience ===
Many of Junebug's experiences mirror those of transgender individuals. She was originally built with a different body and role in mind, and as a result has had to build her identity from the ground up. <!-- Act III, Graveyard --> Additionally, Junebug's complaints about "authenticity" may be a metaphor for her own dysphoria. <!-- Act III, Drive-In -->
