## Bio

### Appearance

Brandon has dark red eyes and matching hair. His Harmony Mark is an orange sun with a ruby gem in the middle. After he gets Stage 3, the sun becomes more fire-like in color and the rays become wavier, and his hair is sparkly, sligthly longer, and gains a fade of bright red. As a civilian...

* Before an undecided episode/movie, he appears as a 10 year-old who wears the same outfit as Rei from *Pokémon Legends: Arceus*, but with some changes, such as him having a bright red shirt over the black skintight garment and the ends of his sleeves are red.
* As of the undecided episode/movie, he appears as a 30 year-old who wears (WIP)

In his magical warrior form, his hair turns bright red and becomes a bit spikier. He has a red skintight bodysuit with what appears to be an orange breastplate on the chest, silver boots with red gems, dark red knee and elbow pads, and wrist-length silver gloves. His Harmony Gem, shaped like a sphere, is located in the center of his chestplate while his Elemaximum Gauge is on his belly. On his back is a pair of white angel wings.

### Personality

Brandon tends to be much more hot-blooded, energetic, pumped-up, and passionate than Aurora, and can have a bit of a temper at times, especially when one of his friends is harmed or wronged. He notably has a very fiery, optimistic, and determined personality and believes anything is possible if he tries hard enough. He never gives up and always believes in himself, and cares deeply for his friends (especially Aurora), but he also has a tendency to not think things through and can be very reckless and stubborn. He is also forgiving and believes that it's never too late for somecreature to start over.

### Relationships

* **Aurora Starsapphire**: His close best friend. It is deliberately left ambiguous whether their relationship is platonic or romantic.

### Etymology

* His Japanese surname **Akahoshi** literally means "red star" while his Japanese name **Taiyo** is the Japanese word for "sun."

## Items

* **Power Necklace**
* **Harmony Gem (is stored in Harmony Warrior System app when unused)**

## Trivia

* He is similar to Arcturus Porter I from other series, except that he also gave up his life at the same time as Aurora.
	+ In fact, the scene of them smiling as they die and then fading away is very similar to the shot of the green-haired girl from Episode 12 of PMMM fading away, with the shot panning out from above with the same music (briefly) playing.
* Brandon's transformed outfit very vaguely resembles Iron Man. As a running gag, Marian will often refer to him as "Iron Man," though this is an in-universe coincidence since the season takes place 2,000 years in the past and Tony Stark *obviously* doesn't exist in the series.
* His introduction speech is similar to Sailor Mars's speech in *Sailor Moon*.
* Despite being a pure Fire Elemental, Brandon has a slight sun motif with his sun-shaped Harmony Mark and Japanese name.
