## Sunwoo

* Kisekae
* Fullbody

## Appearance

Sunwoo’s appearance most days revolves around her trademark over-tousled pale blue hair, cut choppily just above her ears. Messy though it may be, the texture of Sunwoo’s hair is uncharacteristically soft and fluffy. Her eyes are a pleasing, warm hazel-green colour, of a soft, wide shape, and she has long, dark eyelashes as well as a monolid. She wears oversized circular glasses to aid her longsightedness.

Sunwoo has quite pale skin and blushes very easily. Her build is characterised as small and fragile. She wears the default school uniform with an open jacket, showing the reddish-brown vest underneath. On her female days, which are most often, she wears a dark navy school skirt; on his male days, he switches this for a pair of long trousers of the same colour.

## Personality

Sunwoo’s personality can be best described as energetic - she’s constantly attempting to find something to do, and is enthusiastic about getting other people involved. At times, she can be very bossy and most notably pushy. This aggression can sometimes cultivate into physical violence, a personality flaw that many find disagreeable and may dislike Sunwoo on the basis of. To people she dislikes, Sunwoo can be extremely cold and cunning in her personal vendettas against them, feeling that if she has been wronged they deserve equal or greater punishment.

She is merciless in her attempts to get what she wants, and is loyal to and protective of her friends to a fault. Sunwoo is extremely competitive, logically intelligent and is often quick to understand concepts, having a strong commitment to practise. She has a good sense of humour and can often impress with her wit, though it is often misplaced.

## Relationships

### Canon

#### Monika

> "*Don’t even talk to me about her. She’ll track me down and tickle me in forbidden places.*"
> ― Sunwoo
>
>

Sunwoo’s relationship with Monika is that of a very close friend— casual, incubatory of too many inside jokes to count and a valuable asset to Sunwoo’s happiness. She considers Monika more of a sister than a simple friend; their relationship dating back to the innocence of childhood and sustaining itself into what they assume will be forever.

#### Yuri

> "*Eh. She’s kinda boring, but she makes good tea.*"
> ― Sunwoo
>
>

Sunwoo’s opinion on Yuri is general indifference; she doesn’t particularly enjoy her traits of maturity and sensibility and perceives them as boring. She doesn’t often speak to Yuri, and it is rumoured that Yuri dislikes her for her childish and upfront personality, similar to her relationship with Natsuki. However, Yuri treats Sunwoo nicely, albeit a little coldly, and Sunwoo tries to do the same.

#### Sayori

> "*Gahh~ That girl’s way too cute for anyone’s good, you know that? Keep her in a box, because I’ll spontaneously combust if she gets any closer.*"
> ― Sunwoo
>
>

#### Natsuki

> "*Fangs. Tiny, tiny fangs. That is all.*"
> ― Sunwoo
>

#### Protagonist

> "*Ew. Some weeb that everyone seems to love, when I’m* obviously *so much more interesting.*"
> ― Sunwoo

## Story

### Act 1

From the get-go, Sunwoo makes it clear that she has no romantic interest in the protagonist whatsoever, introducing herself with, “Hi, I’m Sunwoo. Monika’s oldest friend, y’know? I’m a she until I tell you otherwise, and unless you’re bi, I suggest you don’t attempt to pursue a relationship with me. Thanks!” Though Monika reprimands her, it is seen quite early that she is pleased she has one less person to ‘eliminate’.

Sunwoo is seen to interact with the girls regularly, and takes some screen time, despite being a character with no route.

### Act 2

Halfway through Act 2, regardless of whose route the player has chosen, Sunwoo will decode what is happening to her friends and figure out that you, the protagonist, are from another reality. She will also find that Monika is modifying the code, and can be seen on several occasions speaking with her president, begging her to stop her modifications. Depending on the player’s choices, Monika will either take mercy on her old friend and refrain from deleting her character file until Act 3, when Sunwoo makes her, or simply deletes the file early to relieve herself of Sunwoo’s ’annoyance’.

### Act 3

If the player’s choices lead to Monika deleting her file early, Sunwoo has a 12.5% chance at any given time of interrupting Monika’s endless dialogue during Act 3, as if she were still in the game. This may be due to Sunwoo and Monika’s close emotional connection. Sunwoo’s possible ‘interruption speech’ consists of five possible lines:

* ”H-how could you?”
* ”Monika, I thought we were friends.”
* ”I hope you can escape. Sure, just leave me here...”
* “I’m stuck, Monika. HELP, MONIKA!”
* ”Why couldn’t you do it properly? Why can’t I just die?”

During this, the background music will crackle into static as Sunwoo speaks.

After Sunwoo’s interruption, Monika will say, “W-what?”, then continue on to address the player: “Oh, sorry. Now, where were we?” She will then continue her dialogue as if nothing had happened.

Additionally, Monika has five lines of dialogue that concern Sunwoo -

* “You know, Sunwoo was kinda sensitive.”
* “She got really angry when someone misgendered her.”
* “That’s just part of her charm, though, I guess.”
* \*sigh\* “I wish I hadn’t deleted her.”
* ”Oh, I shouldn’t be moping. I’ve got you, [player name]!”

— and another five with a 12% chance of occurring upon startup—

* “Gah! You scared me, player name!”
* “Sunwoo used to always sneak up on me like that when we were small.”
* “Once I broke her glasses in fright when I turned around!”
* “Everybody thought it was annoying, but it was absolutely hilarious to us. Just another of our inside jokes.”
* “Oh, but it’s cute when you do it— just don’t let me break your glasses, if you do have them~!”

### Act 4

Upon Monika restarting the game in Act 4, Sunwoo will not introduce herself as ‘Monika’s childhood friend’, instead saying, “I know what you did to her, [player name].” This implies that Sunwoo is still self-aware, even after a hard reset. Sunwoo will refuse to speak to you for the rest of the act, her previous lines being replaced by one of the other girls speaking.

During the Normal Ending, the letter written by Monika is adorned by Sunwoo’s circular glasses, as a sort of homage to her oldest friend.

## Trivia

* For unknown reasons, Sunwoo prefers not to use ‘they’ as a pronoun, asking to be addressed only by ‘she’ or ‘he’, depending on what her gender is at that time.
* Sunwoo’s favourite food is heavily implied to be green tea chocolate, as she is seen eating it on every single day she is physically present in the game.
* Sunwoo’s birth city is Daejeon as a reference to the city’s sistership with the capital city of Toast’s state, formed in 2002.

### Easter Eggs

* There is a 5% chance that at any point the player is interacting with Sunwoo her glasses will begin to drift away from her face, stopping only when she changes expression or eventually disappear from the screen altogether.
* There is a 1.5% chance that if the player uses ‘they’ when speaking about a female character in dialogue options that Sunwoo will pop up on screen and say, “She’s a she!”
