Sune

Sune is a major character in the 2018 Danish Animated Film Checkered Ninja and it's 2021 sequel Checkered Ninja 2. He is the half-brother of Aske Stenstrom, who, while originally just a bully who used Aske to get what he wanted, became more anti-heroic in the sequel, where he saves Aske and Jasper and helps Aske and Taiko in stopping Philip Eberfroe from murdering all the children that used to work in Philip's factory.
He is voiced by Anders Matthesen in the Danish version and Paul Tylak in the English dub.
== Biography ==
=== Backstory ===
Sune is the son of a man named Jorn, who, at one-point, married Sirene Stenstrom, leading Sune to become the half-brother of her son Aske. During this, Sune would constantly bully Aske just for fun. 
=== Checkered Ninja ===
Sune first appears by going to the bathroom while Aske was brushing his teeth, completely disrespecting his brother's privacy. They then have breakfast with their family, where Jorn decides to give the children croissants even when Sirene told him not to because she wanted them to have healthier food. He then gives Aske a croissant after his father told him to, although he tells Aske that he didn't wash his hands.
Sune would then go to Aske's room after school, where he finds his diary and sees a drawing about how much he loved Jessica Eberfroe, so he uses it to blackmail Aske, telling him that he would make the drawing viral if he didn't make his book report about Lord of the Rings. Aske would then say after Sune left the room that he wished he died.
Aske would then make the book report, but he made it filled with profanity, which lead to Sune to be sent to the principal's office for it. After this, Sune planned to release the drawing on the Internet after he left the principal's office, but Taiko decided to fake Aske's voice and admit Aske's love for Jessica, making the blackmail worthless.
After Aske refused to join his plan to murder Philip Eberfroe, Taiko decided to murder Sune to convince Aske to join him, and when he was trying to smother Sune with a pillow, Aske stopped him, although since Aske's parents see him holding the pillow, they believe that Aske was trying to kill his brother, which lead to Aske to be sent to hospital.
By the end of the movie, Sune grows to become more respectful towards, and gave him two of his croissants, although this was because he was mostly afraid of him because of him seemingly attempting to murder him.
=== Checkered Ninja 2 ===
Jorn decides to go on a vacation after he got a check because his idea for an app was successful. While the family was deciding where to go to, Sune tried to pressure Aske into going to Spain because he wanted to get churros. However, Aske would find Taiko, who told him that Philip Eberfroe was going to escape from prison, so he decided to vote to go to Bangkok and convinced his mother to do so as well, which lead to them going there since two of the four votes were for Bangkok (with Sune's vote being for Spain and Jorn being for Frankfurt).
Because of this, Sune accuses Aske of betraying him. When they got to Bangcock, Aske was able to convince his parents to allow him to go somewhere while they were having a massage, which was so he could be able to go after Philip, and when Sune asked if he could go with Aske, he told him that he needed to find himself before leaving to go after Philip.
Later, Aske would be able to convince his family to have dinner close to the strip club where Philip was going to talk with his lawyer and henchman Carsten, and after he and Taiko failed to stop Philip, they go back to the restaurant with Aske's uncle Stewart, the latter of which made them decide to leave to an island after Aske suggested it (although it was because it was where one of the children who Philip wanted to kill named Honey Bee was). During the night they left to the island, Sune notices Aske talking to his doll, so Aske decides to leave Taiko in the balcony, both because he wanted to keep Sune from getting onto them and because he was angered at Taiko for leaving him to be nearly tortured by Carsten so he could go after Philip.
While they tried to leave to the island early, they find that there were no more tickets to the island, only for it to be revealed that Stewart bought the tickets so he could go with his family to the island. After noticing that Aske was acting suspicious and refused to allow Sune to go with him, he decides to use his drone to record Aske and Taiko talking, which Sune used to blackmail Taiko and Aske so he could go on a mission with them.
They reluctantly agree to allow Sune to go in their mission to stop Philip, and while they went to talk to Philip's former interpreter Jasper, who told them that he would help them stop Philip. However, Jasper tells Philip about Taiko and Asle in order to repay Philip and to protect the other children, but he gets tricked by Philip and Carsten, who decide to lock Jasper, Aske, and Taiko in a room that was about to explode.
In order to get out, Aske threw Taiko out of the shop they were in so they could tell Sune that they needed his help, which works and Sune is able to unlock the door to the room where Aske and Jasper were locked in and helps in saving Jasper despite his betrayal, although the shop still explodes because Sune turned off the wrong switch.
Jasper would then tell them about Honey Bee and gave them his scooter so they could stop Philip, and while they were going to go to the restaurant where Honey Bee was, Philip notices them, so he orders his henchman to go after them, but Taiko was able to defeat them. After they got to the restaurant, Philip and Carsten are able to capture Honey Bee, but she is quickly able to escape, and when Carsten was going to shoot her, Sune hits him with Jasper's scooter.
After this, Taiko is able to beat up Carsten, and when Philip was going to kill Aske, Sune hits Philip with a drone, and Aske is able to win against Philip, but when he tried to convince him to stop, Philip refused and tried to kill him and Honey Bee, but he fails to do so and falls to a cage filled with snakes, which lead to Philip getting killed by them. Sune would then ruin Philip's reputation by showing Aske fighting against Philip to protect Honey Bee.
== Personality ==
Sune is a lazy, arrogant, and self-centered person who often messes with Aske for little to no reason and has no problem with blackmailing him to get what he wants. While it took him nearly getting killed, Sune came to respect Aske, although this is mostly fear as he believed that he tried to smother him with a pillow. In the sequel, Sune, while initially annoying and egotistical (although significantly less than in the first movie), he decided to help Aske and Taiko in stopping Philip Eberfroe from killing a child.
Sune was also shown to dislike Aske's uncle Stewart, as he didn't like Stewart being with them in their vacation and tried to go to an island to escape from Stewart. Despite all the problems he has with Aske, Sune still cares about him as he saves his life twice and helps him in saving Jasper despite knowing he betrayed his half-brother because Aske told him to do so, which he did with no reluctance.
== Trivia ==
* In the Portuguese version of the film, Sune is voiced by Paulo Borges, also known as Wuant, who is a Youtuber with over 3.6 million subscribers. He was, however, rescasted by João Arrais in the sequel.
