Sunshine Smithington-Fuggoffsean

Llosgi Dyn

Sunshine is an Air Genasi Echo Knight / Circle of the Stars Druid — portrayed by bluebluebutton — and is one of the main protagonists of Conundrum Company. They joined the party after Peach had left the party.

## Appearance

Sunshine is a tall, slender genasi person with wandering eyes and feet to match. They exude the stability and equanimity of a seasoned caretaker while simultaneously indulging an apparently perpetual need for motion, flitting to and fro in the midst of tasks or conversation. Their gray eyes are prone to wandering, taking in their surroundings and compatriots with unhurried curiosity. Sunrise curls spiral skywards in pink pastels. Their pale skin is hued by delicate pinks and blues. The entirety of Sunshine’s neck is night sky black, speckled with the occasional pinprick of what almost seems like starlight. A similar scar streaks up their sternum, reaching almost to their collarbone.

Under their armor, Sunshine wears a seafoam green corset over a white, paint-spattered blouse (sleeves always rolled up and out of the way) tucked into waist high, fitted trousers in dark rose. Weathered gray boots rise up to just below their knees.

## Equipment

Sunshine's armor, created by Pops (the leader of the Llosgi Dyn), is made from enchanted iridescent glass. Along its edges, Sunshine has painted little flowers, Cerdwyyr-esque stars, and intricate swirling patterns in seafoam, pale pink, and deep rose. Held in a similarly decorated gray belt at their waist and thigh bandolier are multiple jars of paint, along with the rest of their painter’s supplies.

Sunshine wields a sunblade and carries with them a starmap: a crystal, shaped like Cerdwyyr's seven-pronged star, that projects starry patterns in silver and purple when placed before a light. Affixed to the belt at their waist also hangs an ovular, heavily patinated brass and glass lantern which once emitted an eerie blue light. That light is now reddish orange, imbued with one of the Keys of Destruction: the Map.

## Personality

Sunshine simultaneously exudes curiosity and equanimity, their attention constantly shifting by minute degrees. Their inquisitiveness is, as a result, tinged with a degree of blithe nonchalance. That is not to say that they are cold. On the contrary, Sunshine is a good-humored, resourceful, and easygoing companion, quick to encourage their allies and slow to cast judgment. With a propensity for indulging impulses without a second thought, Sunshine is something of an enabler - a quality sometimes at odds with their growing paternal instincts for younger members of the Llosgi Dyn (and the party). The wanderlust instilled in them from a young age by Cerrdwyr and various companions manifests as a delight in the new, the idiosyncratic, and the unique. Even before joining the Llosgi Dyn, Sunshine’s early attempts at painting exhibited a penchant for exulting in everything they encountered.
