Appearance:
Sunshine stands with excellent posture at 5 foot 3 inches. He always dresses sharply, usually in a well fitting suit or a nice top and skirt that compliments his straight light purple hair that often twirls down to his mid back. When living life, Sunshine doesn’t often tie his hair back, instead letting it flitter and fall where it will. However when he needs to focus he can be found with it pulled up in the messiest bun with his flowery headband to keep the baby hairs and short bangs out of his face as much as possible.
His skin is a light shade of pale green and he has a piercing blue right eye. His left eye is a much duller shade of blue as the left side of his body is in rough shape due to past issues while being a plant. He is missing his left arm entirely and his left leg is in a brace to help him be able to walk without much issue. However, he doesn't let all of this drag him down. When Sunshine smiles, he, well, lights up the room. He is quick to laugh and enjoys just about every situation that he finds himself in. He has good posture, but more than that is how he uses his posture to affect the mood of conversations so well.
Personality:
The first thing you notice about Sunshine is his presence. He has a very strong energy and it’s always easy to pinpoint exactly where he is at any time, but that’s not even what I mean. Despite not being from Earth, and thus not having a zodiac sign, I bet he’d be a Leo sun and Leo rising. Probably another Leo placement or two as well. When he speaks, people listen, even if he’s just muttering to himself. Something about him just draws people’s attention to him in a positive light.
He does well with the attention and is something of a Sakamoto-kun. He often makes mistakes, he is not infallible, but even as I sit here typing this up, I genuinely cannot think of something. Sunshine handles every situation with care and grace that another may describe him as perfect. However, friends of Sunshine know his true colors have a rougher edge to them. He’s clumsy and should not be left alone in the kitchen ever. Sunshine is always one to have a good time no matter the situation, but if you hear his bell-like giggles ringing from the kitchen, it is almost never a good sign.
Another wonderful flaw of Sunshine’s is his lack of a work ethic. The living embodiment of “Go Girl! Give us nothing!” He’d much rather be there to encourage you to do your work, talk to you, keep you company, and keep the motivation going than do any actual work. When he sets his mind to something, Sunshine is a machine determined to get it done, but the problem is getting Sunshine to actually set his mind to something.
Sunshine enjoys talking and enjoying company more than much else there is to do. However, he is a wonderful listener as well. He doesn’t just like talking, he likes every aspect of conversation.
Past:
Sunshine was raised by a loving group of 4 prairie flower Viru. He considers all 4 his parents and his only family. His family was somewhat esoteric and isolated themselves more than many others would do. Sunshine grew up loved but his view of the world was very small and he only met other Viru during the half decade parties and accidental encounters. It wasn't until later in his life that he met sentient spirits outside of Viru.
Due to his past, Sunshine wasn't entirely raised in a Viru fashion. He spent a good chunk of his childhood and young adulthood in and out of hospitals and care facilities. It was in these places that he learned about companionship which struck a chord with the lonely Viru. And just like any human child, he dreamed of being the protagonist of his own story.
It took another 200 some years before he was stable enough to head out, and he never returned to Viru land. Instead he traveled around, meeting new spirits and living different lifestyles. He refuses to consider his past sad or get hung up on what could have been. Life is too big and amazing and grand to spend all of it pitying yourself.
Companionship:
Upon learning about companionship all those years ago, the thought has stuck with Sunshine. But at some point, he had forgotten about humans and the fact that the physical plane is a pretty important part to companionship. However, he had his friends and was happy with his life. Then Fox walked in, a contract was signed, and me oh my oh pumpkin pie was it like fate. He was one of the first few to sign up for vetting and companionship and has had much much much time to think about what companionship he wants. And this is what he has to say about it:
“I think my ideal companion would be someone who likes me! I mean, I know nothing about humans, so anything more than that would be making assumptions, right? ...Right? Do I need more?”
Communication:
Astral communication, runes, charms
(cannot use telepathy at all)
From Sunshine:
“Hello everyone! I look forward to getting to know you all and blah blah blah listen to me. With only one arm I legit have no problems sleeping on a couch. When you snuggle up to the side of the couch you have the uncomfort of your arm being squished, but no no not I! Unless I want to roll over, hang on, I didn’t really think this through. But! At least when I roll over because my hand won’t be able to dangle off the edge, so the demons under the couch can’t hold my hand- actually this is a downside too, hang on I take all of this back. I would like to hold a demon's hand. Fox please type up my other quote, please, I can’t anymore-”
From Sunshine pt 2:
“Hello everyone! I look forward to getting to know you all and blah blah. I really enjoy learning the language of flowers, but I think most of them are wrong! Don’t worry, I don’t take it personally~”
