But on a super real note, June's character as a whole is incredibly relatable and I feel like we had similar struggles growing up lol. I feel like she's a person who's always willing to try and help other people, but who isn't so great at doing that for herself and because she's been playing the Game for so long, she just naturally falls into the role of "Hero" even if that comes at the price of her own life. During the entirety of Meat, June's just super depressed and while her friends know that none of them seemed to actually check in on her until they one day just randomly needed her help.

Homestuck often likes to play around with the question of "What does it take to be a 'hero'?" And I feel like that also goes hand in hand with the general questions about masculinity and what it means to be a "man", but June is literally the Heir of Breath and is the sole embodiment of Freedom. She isn't confined to the rules of any kind of gender or societal rules about heroism.

She is the one character who has meta-narrative powers who wants others to be free in a way that she wants for herself. Like, when Dave is asking her for advice on what she thinks about "Davekat" (I.E what does June think about them being in some kind of relationship) June is all for it and just says "You should do it! Go for it, because it seems like it's something you want anyway! And I kind of assumed you were already doing that, so just go ahead and do it!"

And even though she exists in a world that's meaningless, she wants everyone to just wake up one day and stop putting metaphorical shackles on themselves for the rest of their lives. Of course, her being the sole symbol of freedom and her friends being trapped in this hellscape where they believe they HAVE to be adults in a specific way, they just dig their heels in and say no to her.
