### Debut

Sunny Quest

Sunny is a 6" tall, small anthropomorphic sunflower with a wide smile and black, widely spaced eyes. She has three green leaves which she uses as hands and feet. Despite her lack of real limbs, she is surprisingly skilled at throwing objects and operating complex devices such as the iPaq.

### Personality

Sunny has an extremely optimistic, upbeat and somewhat overbearing personality. She frequently pushes her shy and nervous sidekick Pea into situations he is uncomfortable in. Sunny has also been known to insult Pea's intelligence and interrupts him very often. Sunny has a big sister-type relationship with Pea.

She is hard working and strong-willed, and often dominates characters who are physically bigger and stronger than her, and/or thought of as tough. Sunny is skilled at outmanoeuvring large and cumbersome opponents, such as McKenzie and Angelina. Sunny is a big fan of tomatoes, and is often seen eating them or talking about them.

### In Sunny Quest

As the protagonist in all the Sunny films, Sunny takes a leading role. In this film, she speaks in a transatlantic accent, with more British intonation than in later films, where she speaks with her now characteristic California accent. In this film and most others, she works for Yoshi as a detective, a very rich and somewhat doddering old man who is unusual but kind-hearted.

### In Sunny the Big Mystery

Again, Sunny is working as a detective but this time is employed by Yoshi to help figure out who broke into his house and stole his giant dinosaur reconstruction. She is especially demeaning to Pea in this film, frequently insulting his intelligence.

### In Sunny&Pea: Demented Dinner Lady

This is one of only two films where Sunny is not working as a detective for Yoshi. In this prequel to the series, Sunny and Pea are children at school. Yoshi is, at this time, working as a teacher in the same school and is seen as his younger, less doddering and more alert self. The film is meant to show how Sunny got her passion for solving mysteries, as her and Pea try to figure out where their classmates' packed lunches are going. They later discover that their new, very strict and rather obese dinner lady, Berkeletta, has been eating them at playtime.

### In Sunny&Pea: Kidnapped!

In this film, Sunny is again working for Yoshi. She hunts down who kidnapped her trusty assistant, Pea. She finds the culprit, the henceforth recurring villain, McKenzie. McKenzie kidnapped Pea to try to get him to give the location of a secret treasure chest hidden in the town.

### In Sunny: Super Squad

This is the other film in which Sunny is not working for Yoshi. Instead, she gets a job as a traffic warden and is employed by Yoshi's cousin, Chief Yodimoads. Sunny manages to stop two reckless drivers, one of which being McKenzie, she saves an unaccompanied child crossing the street, educates the public on road safety via a catchy musical number and finally helps Koopa. Sunny receives a report that a Koopa has "been booby-trapped" but upon finding them realises that Koopa, in fact, has their "booby stuck" in a fence. Sunny frees the hapless turtle's captive breast. She receives the "perfection award" from Chief Yodimoads and the two go for hot chocolate.

### In Sunny&Pea: Partners in Time

In this film, Sunny and Pea are reunited and discover a snowy cave with a talking mushroom called Shroobie inside. Shroobie explains how he intends to harm the duo, but they flee. Later, Shroobie appears in their house, captures them and takes them to the Mushrum factory. Shroobie explains how Mushrum is now made of plants like Sunny and Pea, and that he tried making it with mushrooms, but the flavour was not right. He squashes Sunny and Pea in an industrial mixer, but Pea whips out a time-travelling mobile phone and sends them both back 15 years to 2002. In 2002, Sunny and Pea meet a younger, less evil Shroobie who explains that he is making a mushroom flavoured drink that "nobody is buying". Sunny and Pea ask to see how it is made, and Shroobie takes them to the factory, where a plant wanders into the machinery and is crushed. Shroobie tries the drink anyway and is turned suddenly evil. Luckily, Sunny and Pea have some regular Mushrum on hand, which they take back to the future and feed to Shroobie. Shroobie returns to his normal self and decides to leave the soft drink business.
