## Appearance

## Backstory

Sunny was born into a poor family of sunflowers who lived in the outskirts of Plantopolis. Her father died from an unknown disease when she was very young, leaving her and her older brother Sol to be raised by their mother, Lumina Helianthus, alone. A few years later, their mother could no longer afford to raise the two children on her own, and was forced to marry an aggressive Bonk Choy named Bruce Brassica. Since then, every time Sunny would come home, Bruce would take pleasure in beating her for being soft and weak, until she cried, with Lumina being powerless to stop him. Every time Sol tried to defend her, he would be beaten until he could no longer fight. They would eventually go on to have another child, Henry Brassica, who, as he aged, would be taught to show the sunflowers their place. It was shortly after this that Lumina, no longer being able to tolerate this man, grabbed Sunny and ran away, as far as she could.

The sunflowers would go to live on the streets, until a friendly family of 3 Chompers found them and invited the sunflowers to live with them. However, a few days later, Bruce showed up at the door, stating he was searching for the sunflowers, but just then, the Herotron exploded, blasting an energy beam through the house that hit Sunny, Henry, and the youngest Chomper, Sarah Snaps, all three of them becoming Heroes.

Shortly after their powers were discovered, the plants were drafted into the plant army to fight in the war. Despite their former rivalries, Sunny and Henry soon became friends with each other, as well as most of the other heroes. A few months later, Sunny returned home only to find that Sol had seemingly gone missing, which has left Lumina devastated. Since then, Sunny promised to, on top of her Hero work, find her missing brother.

## Personality

Sunny is, for the most part, kind, energetic, cheerful and optimistic, always trying to find good in any situation. However, she also has somewhat of an inferiority complex, believing she is obligated to meet the demands of everyone around them, and always puts the well being of everyone else before her own. On top of that, is rather impatient, and always wants in on any action that may be happening. Unlike most plants, she sees zombies as equals, and believes both plants and zombies should live together in harmony.

## Abilities/Weapons

* **Limited Pyrokinesis:** Sunny can create, destroy, and manipulate fire to an extent. Her powers are amplified while she’s in her flaming state, surrounded by flammable substances, or extreme heat.
* **Flaming State:** Sunny can enter a flaming state at will, engulfing her body in flames, allowing for flight as well as amplifying her powers significantly. However, being in this state for too long will drain her energy.
* **Flame Goddess Sunny:** When suffering from extreme pain, either physically or mentally, the seal on Sunny's power will be broken, causing her to unleash her true form. In this state, Sunny stands around 100 feet tall, her body mutating into that resembling a dragon's, composed almost entirely of fire and magma. in this state, her powers are also greatly amplified, but she cannot control herself, being driven on only instinct. Once she exits this state, her body is preserved as liquid magma, before reverting back to her normal self, falling unconscious for several days afterward.
