As the first Human Born on Mars, Juno Teo Minh was the only child born within the Red Promise Colony, a terraforming project run by Lucheng Interstellar. This makes her
the first human of the Martian frontier.

Juno’s birth marked humanity’s first step beyond Earth.
Raised under artificial skies, her body and worldview
were shaped entirely by Mars its lower gravity
and extreme conditions making her unlike
any human before her.

As terraforming kicked debris into Mars’s atmosphere, increasingly violent dust storms threatened the colony. Communication with Lucheng Interstellar went dark,
and the colony’s survival became precarious.

As the storms intensified, daily life within Red Promise became increasingly unstable. Power outages, structural damage,
and failing life-support systems forced colonists to ration
their remaining supplies and abandon projects they
had long invested in.

What had once been a hopeful terraforming effort slowly turned into a desperate, day-by-day struggle to simply
endure the punishing Martian environment.

With resources dwindling, the colony sent Juno to Earth to seek help. Guided by her mother’s friend, Mei, who became her godmother, Juno now probes for a way to save her
people and homeland.

Leaving Mars meant abandoning the only home Juno had
ever known. The journey exposed her to Earth’s gravity, atmosphere, and culture, an alien world compared to
the harsh red plains she was raised on. While adapting
to life on Earth, Juno carries the weight of an entire
colony’s survival on her shoulders.
