"June cannot be trusted. (After what she made? It's all the more difficult to make the lights go out, now.)"[1]

June is a member of the Calendar Council and the original architect of the Dawn Machine.[2] It is unknown which factions she collaborated with when making the Machine; it is also unknown whether she is a member of the New Sequence, or whether she has any other involvement with the Machine aside from its creation.

Those who support the Liberation of Night consider June untrustworthy, as her creation naturally impedes their goal.[3] Despite this, the ceiling of the Summer Room in the Agendums of Ascent is a complex schematic of the Dawn Machine that only becomes visible when the lights in the room are extinguished.[4][5] June also authored a book in the Agendums described as a "collection of ideas for frivolous amusements." The book does not seem to have much import, but based on its writings it appears that June prefers to have a strict itinerary for every occasion, lest she fall into "dangerous introspection." The book's activities are also indexed by season, mirroring how the Agendums' rooms correspond to seasons, but the implications of this are unknown.[6]
