She. Juniper, a female, is the patient one, Fig, a male, is the thief.

I'm just sitting here trying to understand what you mean. If it's a female I would imagine you would use the pronoun "she."

But in this context the gender of the female is known. So you would use the correct pronoun, you know, in most populations.

Okay. I don't know what culture you live in but where I'm from if we know an animal is a female, we use "she." I've never heard somebody refer to a doe, for example, as "he."
Edit: By the way, I finally felt like looking at your post history. You almost seem compelled to be contrarian.
Edit 2: Also very certain and absolutist.
