Description: Being the oldest of 6 children and having had his father die when they were all relatively young, it only makes sense that Sunny's naturally grown to be a bit of a...well, a bit of a
carer. By nature, Sunny wants to take care of everyone, and he's definitely a bit of a mother hen. If you want to be his friend, constant "have you eaten? here, share with me"'s and "are you okay? you're being kind of quiet"'s come with the territory. Though he's perfected a sort of listless, aloof veneer, entirely capable of acting as though he's unaffected by anything and unattached to anyone, the truth is that Sunny cares about everyone an awful lot. He enjoys making people laugh, is always willing to provide a shoulder to cry on, and is the sort who would be more likely to help a long-time enemy in a time of need than to turn his back. He's ferociously dedicated to those he loves, and has made quite a bad habit of compartmentalizing and ignoring his own issues in order to provide for others. Anyone who knows Sunny can tell you that it's no surprise that he wants to work with kids; he
adores them, and with his prolific imagination and friendly core, he's particularly good with them.
Just as important to Sunny's character as his naturally kind heart is his creativity. Sunny's been creating art since he was old enough to hold a paintbrush, and there's not a doubt in anyone's mind that, if he felt it would be a reliable job, he'd pursue art as his career. Though painting is always going to be his main passion, as he's aged, Sunny's branched out into other mediums: pencil drawing, whittling, and playing guitar being three of his other main forms of artistic expression. Outside of his unfortunate status as the only openly gay kid in town, his artistic tendencies are probably what Sunny's best known for. He's admired and mocked for it in equal measure, with his peers often being reluctantly impressed by the talent but prone to teasing him for it being a less typically masculine hobby.
Unfortunately, growing up poor, not white, and not straight in an extremely conservative small town has made Sunny's inherent openness and friendly nature dangerous, rather than beneficial. That aforementioned listless, aloof exterior? It was absolutely developed as a defense mechanism. Sunny's long since learned to keep his guard up and not to expect anyone to be on his side. As such, Sunny represses his instinctively outgoing nature and makes a conscious effort to keep everyone at arms length until they've proven themself, and that reflects in his behavior. Though he's incredibly sweet to those he trusts, most of Sunny's peers know him to be distant, quiet, and distinctly sharp-tongued. Every other word out of his mouth is sarcastic, and he's learned to take every kind word spoken to him with a grain of salt. In short? Sunny is more or less a sweet little lamb who is so used to being circled by wolves that he's taken up residence in a thorn bush.
