Before Juniper realized she was priestess from another world called Ebon. She never knew why did she have powers and where did she come from because she lived at an orphanage on Earth (or Sonic world Earth or Mobian Earth or Whatever) ever since as a baby. She wasn't so sure how people will react if they see her exposing her powers in front of them. Boy, I suck at this hand pose where she used her purple flame.
probably would work better if she were earlier in earth's history or in a third world part of earth, since anywhere else in modern earth, people would probably react to her powers with: "wizards are real? neat."

superman keeps his identity secret because his enemies would know exactly who his friends are. he knows his friends would be cool with it, but he's not, because they would be in genuine trouble. lex luthor also just happens to be a paranoid millionaire. if it werent for his own charisma, he'd likely be slammed on social media nowadays for daring to disrespect superman.
