PERSONALITY: Sunny is a very bright little girl. At six years old, she had struggled to find a place within her own family, let alone the world. She has never known stability, but has become a very adventurous, brave little girl because of it. She, however, has also grown a bit of a rebellious spirit, too. She dislikes rules, dislikes compromising, and often holds grudges when she does not get her way. Though this is common in children her age, she handles it with such alertness and focus that makes it hard for her to be handled on occasion.
Despite this, she is the picture of innocence. She loves to learn, and the magical environment is a wonder to her. She likes to shadow adults and hear their stories, and ask them all about their lives. She loves to ask questions about the people she is intimately connected with, and happens to be a pretty good secret keeper. Animals of all shapes and sizes are of interest to her, and she has a knack with them as well. The world of reading is still new to her, but she tries to read as much as she can.

CHARACTER HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Early Years: After completing basic school, Riley decided to celebrate with travel before he went to university. He chose to go to America, where his uncle owned some property, and the friends he made their took him on a wild road trip. One of the first people he met, Skye, became his second love in life (the first being a flame back in Ireland.) She travelled with them and had fallen for Riley the moment he said hello to her. Their passionate romance lasted until he returned home to prepare for university with the promise to keep in touch with Skye. However, through a series of unfortunate but not unsurprising events, he lost her contact information.
Riley bounced back quickly, having too much to focus on at home anyway. Skye, sixteen at the time, was unable to as she soon found she bore his child. Her foster parents (Skye had never know her real parents) nearly turned her out, but did not do that until she chose to drop out of school. She moved in with her father’s sister Carol, who felt for the girl. Sunny was born with no complications but the complications surrounding her mother’s situation. Carol could not legally be Skye’s guardian, so Skye became a ward of the state until she was eighteen. They moved Skye to a special school in Nevada for young mothers.
At eighteen, she managed to break free from the system and get a job. She found a cheap, shady apartment while she worked and sent Sunny to daycare. Sunny loved her mother dearly, and disliked her daycare strongly. When she turned four, she was put into preschool, and found it much better than daycare, where all they did was alternate between play time and naptime. In preschool, the teacher worked to expand their young minds. The same was said for kindergarten.
During this time, Skye was working hard to provide for herself and her daughter. However, an old friend from high school found her one day, and, upon learning her situation, was quick to inform her that he still had Riley Dyllan’s phone number. Sunny was five when her mother was able to contact her father.
Riley was out of school and working, and he was incredibly surprised and shaken to hear of Sunny. He immediately moved to America to be with Skye and his daughter. At first, all went well. It seemed that the final piece that had been missing from their perfect family was Riley. But Skye and Riley were still young, and both had dreams they wished to pursue. And both thought the other should be the one to sacrifice for the family.
Irresponsible, overly romantic, and completely selfish, the two parents were a bad combination. With six months, they moved overseas to be with Riley’s parents. In that time, Gregory, on several occasions, suggested finding a better place for Sunny while the parents worked out their difficulties. The final straw, however, was when the couple were caught shoplifting in a nearby mall, having been pressed for money. Gregory immediately wrote to his daughter, and informed her that Sunny was on her way.
Jack, a witch, found that several hoops had to be jumped through for this to be alright. She had just moved, herself, and into a home with another wizard. She appealed to Elijah Krum to allow her nonmagical niece access into the magical world, as there few to no options for the young girl. Elijah was able to make it happen.
Sunny, though it all, watched the actions of the adults around her and learned they were just as clueless about life as she was. She was upset with her parents, and blames them from what she considers banishment from her own home. She is not displeased to meet her aunt, but she is certainly not pleased to leave her mom and dad. The one consolation, however, has been what her grandfather has told her – that her aunt is a real lived witch, and she gets to go live in a world of magic. Sunny, putting aside doubt for wonder, is excited to be surrounded by real live magic.
Hogwarts Years: None.
Adulthood: None.
