Sunny (GOTM)

Sunny is a female SandWing-NightWing hybrid dragonet and one of the two main protagonists of Gifts of the Moons, the other being Starflight. She is an animus dragon, and a Dragonet of Destiny.
== Appearance ==
Sunny has tawny, golden-yellow scales with some black scales scattered here and there. She has golden wings that are dotted with a scattering of jet-black scales, a trait she shares with her ancestor, Whiteout. She has black talons and ears, some black scales spattered across her nose like freckles, and green eyes. Despite having scales that radiate warmth, her tail lacks the venomous barb of typical SandWings and instead curls to an ordinary point.
== Personality ==
Sunny's personality remains largely the same as her canon counterpart - she is easy-to-laugh, sympathetic, reassuring, excitable, and wants to believe the best in every dragon. She dislikes when her friends argue, and often dislikes when someone calls her simple or sweet. She would never intentionally hurt or betray anyone, and truly cares about fulfilling The Dragonet Prophecy. Since hearing the story of Prince Albatross, she is nervous about her magic and worries about hurting or killing her friends.
== Biography ==
=== Gifts of the Moons ===
A SandWing named Dune, a former Outclaw, stole Sunny's egg from Thorn after she had buried it in the sand near the Scorpion Den. Thorn took this as a sign of betrayal and had been searching for him for many years, hoping to capture and kill him. Thorn has even put up "wanted" signs for him during the years. However, it appears that the two SandWings were once close friends, as Thorn mentioned discussing names for her egg with him. It seems that she liked the name "Sunny" since that is what Dune named her. This could mean that Dune still respected, cared about, or was even loyal to Thorn, despite taking her egg to fulfill the dragonet prophecy. Although, Dune mentioned the name "Beetle" while naming Sunny, which was the pet name Thorn had given her egg and had been continuing to call her that while searching for her.
Sunny was brought as an egg to the cave where the dragonets were kept by Dune, who claimed he had found her egg alone and hidden in the sand. Her egg was later brought outside, along with the others, to hatch in the moonlight under Dune's suggestion. She was the last hatched, and upon hatching, she was revealed to have neither a venomous barb on her tail nor pale, sandy, yellow scales as a normal SandWing should have. She also had some black scales and lacked the usual black SandWing eyes, as her eyes are green, which led to the assumption she was taken from the sand earlier than usual.
Sunny's hatching was witnessed by Starflight, and the two of them quickly took to playing with the other dragonets.
At age three, Sunny participated in an animus test hosted by Tsunami to see if any of the dragonets had magic. Tsunami gave them some rocks and told them to enchant the rocks to fly up to the cave ceiling and then return to their claws. Sunny's turn came last; she politely asked her rock to fly up and touch the cave ceiling and then return to her talons. The dragonets were greatly surprised when the rock fulfilled her request, but Sunny was the most shocked. After a close call with Kestrel, Sunny learned more about animus magic from Starflight, who explained the story of how Prince Albatross of the SeaWings lost his soul from overusing his powers and slaughtered most of his family. Sunny briefly worried that the same thing might happen to her, but was reassured by Clay stating that she's the nicest dragon they know and will probably never turn evil.
Sunny then appeared in Starflight's vision-dream of the dragonets sharing a group hug, telling him to not worry about the future and that they can handle anything together.
== Relationships ==
=== Clay ===
Clay is like an older brother to Sunny, and she cares deeply about him. She encouraged him gently during the dragonets' animus test, and agreed with him when he stated his belief that she could never turn evil.
=== Glory ===
Sunny believes that Glory is perfect the way she is, and was unwilling to enchant Glory into a SkyWing to make her fit the prophecy.
=== Kestrel ===
Despite Kestrel hating everything, she seems to dislike Sunny the least. Sunny believes the best in Kestrel and trusts her as a guardian. Despite knowing that Kestrel wants to keep the dragonets safe, she doesn't understand why the SkyWing is always so mean about her not looking like a normal SandWing or Glory being a RainWing.
=== Starflight ===
Sunny is the only dragonet who does not mind Starflight's lectures, whereas the others are almost always annoyed by them. She is kind to him, as she let him go before her in the animus test. Sunny doesn't seem to mind when Starflight reads her thoughts, and she thanked him when he denied that the other dragonets thought of her as being simple. She loves him as a brother, which he accepts.
=== Tsunami ===
Sunny looks up to Tsunami as a sister figure. However, she is often annoyed that Tsunami thinks of her as just as a silly, naïve younger sister. Tsunami was the most excited when the dragonets discovered that Sunny was an animus dragon.
== Known Enchantments ==
* A rock: Enchanted to fly to the ceiling and return to her talons. This spell was used to test if she was an animus.
* The ledges in the sleeping cave: Enchanted to change to each of the dragonets' preferred temperatures.
== Quotes ==
"I could never do that. [...] I mean, the blankets are a good idea, but Glory's perfect the way she is. We shouldn't have to change her just because the guardians don't like that she's a RainWing." - to Tsunami
"Clay's right. I'm not evil, and I never will be!" "I hope so. Being an animus sounded great, but if what Starflight said is true, then I should be more careful. And Starflight is never wrong. I'm not evil...but I'm not just sweet and simple, either. I can be much more, I know it!" - thoughts
"Don't worry about the future. [...] We can handle anything, as long as we're together." - to Starflight, in a dream
"You don't have to worry about me giving you enchanted vegetables. [...] That would be way too silly. You really should try carrots, though. They're really good." - to Tsunami
"Maybe you're more special than you give yourself credit for." - to Starflight
