Sunny .wings of fire. canon char.

Sunny is a Wings of Fire canon character.

**Sunny** is an adult female SandWing-NightWing hybrid and the main protagonist of *The Brightest Night*. She is one of the former dragonets of destiny and the main founder of Jade Mountain Academy. She was also heavily responsible for the end of the War of SandWing Succession.

## Appearance

Sunny has tawny, golden-yellow scales like rippled sunshine, golden wings, talons , and ears, a small head, snout, and claws, and moss-colored, gray-green eyes.

Aside from being quite small, Sunny has scales that radiate warmth. However, her tail lacks the venomous barb of typical SandWings and curls to an ordinary tip instead.

Sunny is very small, much smaller than Qibli and Winter, and not much bigger than Kinkajou and Moonwatcher. Even on her back legs, she is less than half of Kestrel's height, and out of all the dragonets of destiny, she is the smallest. Her eyes are the same shape as Whiteout's, although Sunny's are greener, according to Darkstalker.

Sunny has an excitable, bright, bubbly, empathetic, cheerful, good-natured, kind-hearted, and optimistic personality. In *Escaping Peril*, Peril described her as a "blaze of warm sunlight." Her ability to always seek the positive side in even the worst of situations led to her friends underestimating her while growing up under the mountain. Although it is sometimes inconvenient, Sunny often feels compassion for dragons with evil intentions and believes that beneath every seemingly bad dragon is always a backstory or a reason to be that way. Like Moonwatcher, she is a firm believer in the philosophy that everything happens for a reason, and this way of thinking is the main source of her perseverance and hope. She dislikes violence and tries to solve most problems peacefully when possible. Sunny is also quite empathetic and forgiving; even though Dune and Kestrel were not very kind to Sunny and her friends, she had cried for them after their deaths. Sunny is steadfast and strives to be helpful whenever she can, regardless of whom it is that needs aid. In *Moon Rising*, Moon described Sunny's mind to be hopeful and determined, as well as mentioned that her thoughts also matched her actions. She is usually the underdog, because of her size and cheerful disposition, but she proves that she is intelligent and fearless.==
Sunny's personality has developed and changed throughout the series. During *The Dragonet Prophecy*, she was content with most things in her life, and rarely complained or purposefully created conflict. Growing up, Sunny was frustrated at the other dragonets, besides Starflight and Clay. She believed that she truly did have good ideas, but ones that her friends would only approve of if they came from someone other than her.

In *The Brightest Night*, wanting to prove that she is more than what her friends think she is, she follows Fierceteeth, Preyhunter, and Strongwings, in an attempt to stop them from selling her and her friends' location to Burn. After meeting her mother Thorn, and later her father Stonemover, she resolves to be like her mother, Thorn, who fixed her problems by doing something about them, rather than like Stonemover, who gave up on a happy life years ago. She returns to the rainforest and her friends with a plan to bring Blaze, Blister, and Princess Burn together to end the war. Sunny then realizes that her friends did truly do believe in her after they all work together and successfully end the war. Although still kind, hopeful, and compassionate, Sunny has become more firm, confident, and direct like her mother.

## Relationships

### Addax

Sunny was not fond of Addax due to him taking her as a gift to Burn. Though, she was not vengeful towards him, telling Thorn that revenge wasn't worth it and that he had his reasons.

### Clay

Sunny cares deeply about Clay, confiding in him often, and relying on him to help fix problems she can't solve on her own. Being the smallest of the group, Sunny sometimes climbs up Clay's back to get a better view of things. Starflight believes that Sunny trusts Clay the most out of their friends. When no one else listens to her ideas, she will ask Clay to broadcast them because he cares, and everyone else will listen to him. At the end of *The Brightest Night*, Sunny said that she didn't think anyone deserved Clay, referring to him as the kindest dragon in Pyrrhia.

### Dune

Sunny seemed to like Dune the best out of the guardians and called on him for help in times of need. She was devastated when Scarlet killed Dune.

### Fatespeaker

Toward the end of *The Dark Secret*, when Starflight and Fatespeaker brought Flame to the rainforest, Sunny approached the NightWing and told her she liked the bracelet-like pattern of silver scales on her foreleg. Fatespeaker responded by saying she liked the way Sunny looked, and that all the SandWings she'd met before were 'sort of pale and dusty-looking.' They became good friends the first time they met. As quoted from Glory; *"As strangely adorable as you two are, I need you to either go away and discover your twin souls somewhere else, or focus on battle planning with me."* Sunny assumed she felt jealous of Fatespeaker when she had told Sunny she was taking care of Starflight, thinking that it felt like "she wanted Fatespeaker to shush and go away." Sunny tells Starflight that she does not love Starflight the way Fatespeaker does, and says it's alright if he also loves her too. She encourages him to pursue Fatespeaker, calling her hilarious.

### Glory

Like Tsunami, Glory mostly thinks of Sunny as a naïve younger sister. However, Glory was very concerned about Sunny when she left the Rainforest Kingdom and seemed very determined to have her back. She also showed affection to Sunny (which Sunny states is very rare) when she got back from being kidnapped. Stated in *The Hidden Kingdom*, Glory wanted to hide her instead of Webs, this may be due to the fact she despises Webs and wants to protect Sunny.

### Peril

When Sunny realized it was Peril headed towards the SandWing stronghold, her heart sank when she wondered how Peril would react to the news about Kestrel's death. Sunny felt bad when Peril explained that Ruby had kicked Peril out of the Sky Kingdom and attempted to sympathize with her, though Peril told her not to feel sorry. Sunny tried to break the news to Peril about Kestrel's death as gently as she could to Peril, and comforted Peril over her mother's death. Sunny seems to trust Peril to help her in bad situations, as she asked her to stop the Outclaws from fighting. Sunny is the second dragon to tell Peril that she is not a monster, and that she should not let Scarlet make her hate herself. Sunny offered to let Peril come with her instead of freeing Scarlet, though the firescales SkyWing declined.

### Qibli

When Qibli first met Sunny in *The Brightest Night* he acted very coldly towards her, as not only seeing her as a possible threat to Thorn but also a threat to the love he gets from Thorn. Eventually he got to know her better and became kinder to her, and they established a good friendship.

### Six-Claws

Six-Claws was one of the Outclaws that was assigned to protect Sunny. He was the most kind of the Outclaws to her and he seemed to not see her as a threat. When his daughter, Ostrich, was in danger of being killed by Addax and his group, Sunny accepted the offer of being taken, which showed she would accept dying for his family.

### Smolder

Smolder was respectful and kind to Sunny as she was presented as a gift for his sister. Smolder was kind to her and cared about her, having taken her on midday walks when he noticed how miserable she was. He also chose to let her live. And in *The Brightest Night* Sunny thought Smolder to be "maybe even as smart as Blister."

### Starflight

Sunny is the only dragonet who doesn't mind Starflight's lectures, whereas the others are almost always annoyed by them. In *The Dark Secret*, Starflight confessed his love for Sunny, but Sunny was more surprised and unsure of the way she loved him. In *The Brightest Night*, Sunny thought more about Starflight's feelings towards her and dealt with confusion as to her feelings towards him. She did tell Starflight she did not know if she loved him or not and that her feelings were a mess. Sunny was not sure what her feelings were, describing them as, "*I don't know what to do* and *somebody loves me* and *don't hurt him* and *really, right now?* and *imagine how happy you could make him* and *why me? really, me?* and *but it's Starflight.*" She had never thought of him in the same way he had not once. When Fatespeaker had told Sunny that she had been taking care of Starflight, she felt a "flash of something odd." Sunny had thought it was jealousy, and that would mean that she loves him back. She thought it would be nice if she could love him back, as it would make him happy and she did care about him. Sunny ultimately decides that she loves Starflight as a brother, which he reluctantly accepts. She encourages him to pursue a relationship with Fatespeaker if he loves her back.

### Stonemover

Stonemover, Sunny's father, lives under Jade Mountain and is an animus dragon. When Thorn first told Sunny her father was a NightWing, she was disappointed and horrified because the other NightWings were malicious and cruel. She finds his pessimistic attitude annoying and thinks he sighs too much. But Sunny still deeply cares for her father as shown in *Talons of Power* when Flame attempts to murder Stonemover for lying about how he couldn't fix Flame's scar on his snout, and Sunny is shown sobbing.

### Thorn

Sunny seemed very attached to her mother, Thorn, when they met. Thorn also thinks a lot of Sunny and tries to protect her from being injured. Thorn also saves her when she was kept captive in Burn's stronghold. Sunny thought she would be a worthy queen shown when she gave her the Eye of Onyx. Sunny thinks she is the only dragonet of destiny lucky enough to know both of her parents. She keeps drawings of Thorn pinned up in her office/bedroom in Jade Mountain Academy.

### Sunny is often annoyed that Tsunami thinks of her as just as a silly, naïve younger sister. However, she knows that Tsunami cares about her, and looks up to her as a sister figure. Tsunami says that Sunny is like a little sister to the dragonets. In The Brightest Night, Sunny was angry with Tsunami because she thought the SeaWing didn't care that she was gone, believing her friend thought she was pouting and that she would come running in a few minutes. However, Tsunami showed lots of affection when Sunny came back. Tsunami said she would go through a whole army of SkyWings for her and the dragonets, showing that she cares for every one of them, including Sunny

And Glory has enough to do here, now that she's queen. None of them will fight for our destiny. They certainly won't listen to me if I try to explain that Morrowseer must have been lying.
