## Appearance

Dawn is a conventionally attractive young adult with brown eyes and an olive skin tone. Her long, dark brown hair is typically flat ironed and kept in a ponytail, and she has a large birthmark over her left eye. Solae, Dawn's first counterpart,  is a young woman with orange skin and large red "sunspots" covering her body. Her hair is orange and red (the same colors as her skin), and her eyes are yellow with no visible pupil or iris. Luna is a pale skinned, freckled young adult. Their eyes are pale blue with black sclera, and at least some portion of her face is covered in shadow, unconsciously matching the phase of the moon that day.
Dawn's not a member of the Big Team since her power isn't particularly combat useful (or they wouldn't be, if she were aware of it), so she doesn't really have a supersuit so much as a uniform. It's a long sleeved, floor length maroon dress with a white fur collar and a slit along the left leg. She wears black leggings and white boots with blue accents along the top. Solae wears a maroon and orange jumpsuit with a yellow star on her chest and a short orange cape accented with white. Luna wears a white and maroon shirt, a black mini skirt, and black boots, because she's the drama queen.
When dressing for school, Dawn always make sure to wear the pinacle of teen fashion. Nothing too unconventional or self-expressive, but she always looks polished, sharp, and modern. Solae dresses like an actual adult in pencil skirts and blazers in neutral earth tones. Luna, in contrast to the other two, prefers looking like she walked out of the eighties--fishnet tights with holes, short skirts, and crop tops are staples of her third of the closet.

## Powers

Solae and Luna both have two powers. Dawn has one comparatively minor power -- she's got super fast reading and learning ability, but she doesn't know it becasue she's always been hyperlexic.

Solae can manipulate the densities of objects as she pleases. She mostly uses this as a way of giving herself Herculean Strength. Her signature move is to chuck her problems into trees, though she is also known to punch out the occasional wall, and on one notable occasion make her homework light enough to float out into outer space, where it could never bother her again. Luna can manipulate and create illusions out of shadows. She can create any sort of illusion she wants, and any number of illusions simultaneously so long as she still has the brainpower to keep them all steady and functional. However, she can't create any illusions if there are no shadows to work with.

These powers were meant to be hers and hers alone. As latest in two long lines of superheroes, she was meant to unify and hone their powers into one highly competent being. Things didn't exactly work out that way when her powers finally awakened though. Solae and Luna initially thought they were fractions of Dawn's psyche, split along legacy lines, with Solae her mother's powers, and Luna her fathers. Dawn eventually figured out they were something all together different--more like the personification of what would have been here powers than anything else.

## Background

### Pre-Big Team

Dawn was always a withdrawn, aloof kid. She didn't really have any enemies before the big team, but she certainly didn't have any friends. She liked things that way, or at least was content enough to just keep on prepping for college and studying for her APs. Things seemed to change when Solae and Luna showed up. They've grown to genuinely like each other, and consider one another siblings. Each new being was courted by different student organizations, only to be turned away when the other made an appearance. Eventually, once every student org had been scared away (except for the Black Magic Club), things went back to relative normalcy for Solae, Luna, and Dawn until they were recruited by the Big Team.

### Post-Big Team

Solae and Luna have helped clean up relatively minor disturbances to Halcyon City's daily life, including a run in with the villain Funerary at the Halcyon City Triathlon, a brief altercation with the Treble Makers, and an attempt at helping space pirate Jichael Mordan get back into flight.
They have also been involved in a more dangerous run in with the Black Magic Club as they tried to use Zodiac Tree sap to gain unlimited power. Most recently, they fought against terrifying alien assassin the Immortal in order to rescue their kidnapped parents and friend. Terminus, who they first fought against when she tried to blow up Jichael Mordan's spare ship, made a second appearance here. Solae is hoping to encounter her for a third time so she can punch her in the face.

## Relationships

### Family

**Nazar David Sarkissian:** Dawn's father, who goes by David, is a kind, energetic, and extremely patriotic man. He loves his city almost as much as he loves his culture, leaving his child in third place. He does his best, but his duties as a hero and an activist keep him very very busy. Dawn misses the days when they would just sit under the big oak tree in their backyard and read folktales from around the world, but she's too busy to tell him that.

**Jane Vincentia Sarkissian-Platt:** Dawn's mother is CEO of a tech company of some kind. Dawn doesn't know much more than that, since her mother is very close lipped about her work, and about her preferences, and about her feelings about her child. She was generally apathetic towards Dawn until her powers awakened, and now actively insists on doing everything she can to get Solae her own body to preserve her Legacy.

### Friends

#### On the team:

**Ryan "Rewind" Young --**They joined big team at the same time, and really impressed both Solae and Dawn. Luna doesn't know them really well yet but like. The fact that both of her siblings are squishing on them means they're VERY interested to learn more.

**Princess Anaya** -- Anaya showed Luna around Big Base and they Connected during the tour. Luna thinks she's quite possibly the coolest person they have ever met, and so they're sending her letters while she's in jail. They really hope the letters make them and their siblings look cool.

**Fearless**-- Triads gotta stick together! They haven't actually gone on a mission together yet, but Solae met Fearless when she accidentally ran into them in the Danger Room, and immediately decided fae were hella cool. Mostly Dawn, Solae, and Luna are just incredibly grateful to know someone who Understands.

#### Off the team:

**Tam Ribaldi (no relation to the other Ribaldis):** Dawn's childhood friend, practically her sibling. They were nearly inseparable up until they got to high school and found different social circles. Dawn still thought fondly of them, even when they hadn't spoken to one another in months. That all changed when Luna decided to text a love confession out of the blue in an attempt to get them talking again. Now these two are on thin ice, and Dawn is pretty sad and angry about it.

### Significant Others

**Lavish --**Luna met them at Philosotea and went on a date that got a bit steamy. They look forward to their second date.

## Journal Entries

### The Sarkissian Tapes

A series of tape-recorded conversations between Dawn and her super heroic counterparts. You know, since she can't argue with herself and all.

### The Sarkissian Letters

A series of letters to Princess Anaya of Montreal about all of Big Team's adventures so she doesn't feel left out.

## Additional Scenes

* **A Bubbling Romance** -- Luna and Lavish attempt to claim the same boba order and sparks fly.
* **How Many People Can We Fit Into Two Bodies?** -- Two sets of fusions have the incredibly cathartic experience of realizing they're not alone. Also they punch stuff really good.
