Canopus

"*You never learn.*"

—Canopus scolding Sunny, *The End: Uncrowned*

**Canopus Starsight** is an elderly female Star Guardian and the mother of Alcyone, Sunny and Procyon, as well as Antares' grandmother. She is the wife of Castor, Saiph's successor and second-born daughter after Alioth, as well as Sunny's predecessor. She debuted in *The End: Uncrowned* as a minor character and antagonist, though she doesn't do anything evil.

## Personality

Canopus is regal, haughty and elegant. She believes that all leaders must be dignified and powerful, and that they must be ready to fight for their tribe at all costs. She cares deeply for her family and friends, even if she seems cranky and uncaring on the outside, she has a heart of pure gold. She will not hesitate to leap into battle or danger if it means saving someone she holds dear.

However, if someone is misbehaving, she will be quick to give punishment. Discipline is something that Canopus is especially good at, introducing it to her own children, nieces and nephews at an early age to make sure they grow up to be just like her.

This girl is an absolute menace when she's angry, just like her son Sunny, she will go on an aggressive rampage until the thing or person who caused it is dealt with. She seems to care less about damage unlike her son, who will try and pay for whatever was broken.

Canopus has a short fuse and will tend to snap if things do not go her way, such as Sunny throwing a tantrum or Alcyone sleeping on the job. She tends to get involved in drama she doesn't know too well about and often picks sides without all of the facts. Cannie does NOT forgive, nor forget, and can hold grudges for years at a time.

## Relationships

### Sunny

Sunny is Canopus' second born child, and the two have a very unstable relationship. She and her son were arch enemies since the day Sunny was born and he tried biting her hand off. His actions as a teenager really angered her to the point she ripped his horns out to set him straight after an accident where he killed four Star Guardians in a trap he made. Although Canopus does care about him, she feels he really needs to change in terms of his attitude.

She has even saved his life before, once in the Star Guardian-Deity war. Denali had thrown a bucket of ice cold water on him, and was planning on ending his life. He survived only because Canopus defended him all alone until the medics arrived.

The two of them are on much better terms now, even though Sunny is frightened of her and she still wants him to change his attitude, she believes that he is a great leader and will have a long reign.

### Alcyone

Alcyone is Canopus' first born child. Although their relationship isn't the best, the two do get along relatively well and Alcyone can trust her mother enough to ask her for assistance or something she wants. Canopus does get annoyed at her constant yawning and falling asleep, but she can't really blame her for just being tired, after all, her job was quite stressful and tiring.

Even though Alcyone isn't Canopus' favourite child, she still loves her very much, even if she doesn't show it often.

### Procyon

Canopus' third born son, she loves him greatly and he will often use his title as 'favourite child' to his advantage to get his way. He was always around her as a child since his siblings never wanted to play with him, and would always ride around on her head for fun. Her relationship with her youngest son became stronger during his early teenage years where he was spoilt to death, drowned in toys, jewellery, and anything he wanted.

She favours him to her other children as he was obedient and followed her wishes as a young child, and often compares Sunny to him as a 'good example', which annoys him.
