While under the mountain, Sunny was first seen when the dragonets were acting out the death of Queen Oasis, with her playing the role of Queen Oasis. She also lacked the usual black SandWing eyes, as her eyes are a green-gray color, which was leading to the assumption she was taken from the sand earlier than the right time, but this was proven to be false upon the revelation that Sunny was a SandWing-NightWing hybrid, with her father being Stonemover, a NightWing animus. She was said to be the last hatched, and upon hatching, she was revealed to have neither a venomous barb on her tail nor pale, sandy, yellow scales as a normal SandWing should have. Dune claimed he had found her egg alone and hidden in the sand. Sunny was brought as an egg to the cave where the dragonets were kept by Dune, the SandWing guardian, and a member of the Talons of Peace. The Dragonet Prophecy The Dragonet Prophecy Although, in The Brightest Night, it was revealed that Thorn had nicknamed Sunny "Beetle" while she was in her egg, and had been continuing to call her that while searching for her. This could mean that Dune still respected, cared about, or was even loyal to Thorn, despite taking her egg to fulfill the dragonet prophecy. It seemed that she liked the name "Sunny" since that was what Dune named her. However, it appeared that the two SandWings were once close friends, as Thorn mentioned discussing names for her egg with him. Thorn had even put up "wanted" signs for him during the years. Thorn took this as a sign of betrayal and had been searching for him for many years, hoping to capture and kill him. Biography Pre-SeriesĪ SandWing named Dune, a former Outclaw, stole Sunny's egg from Thorn after she had buried Sunny's egg in the sand near the Scorpion Den. She was extremely upset when Morrowseer told her the prophecy was fake. She truly cared about fulfilling the Dragonet Prophecy, even after it was confirmed to be fake. She is delighted when she is tasked with importance, and often dislikes when someone calls her simple or sweet. She disliked the fact that her ideas were often less listened to than her friends' ideas, and in The Brightest Night, she wanted to stop Fierceteeth's group on her own partially to prove that she was competent. She would never hurt or betray anyone: sentiments that sometimes make others doubt her judgement and intelligence. Externally, it did not seem as though Sunny ever had negative thoughts she did what she was told, and happily. She believes herself to be 'brave all the time.' She does not like killing dragons, even when they harm her. She does not memorize facts with ease or keep secrets all that well, and is often seen by other dragons as cute, sweet, simple, and lovable. She believed that she and her friends would make it through anything bad that happened to them, because they had to survive to fulfill the prophecy. She dislikes when her friends argue, and she is passionate and disapproving of violence, with a soul like a blaze of warm sunlight. Sunny often attempts to be stern, but she is easy-to-laugh, sympathetic, optimistic, reassuring, unambitious, agreeable, excitable, and wants to believe the best in every dragon. She also has a perpetually cheerful expression. Her voice sometimes squeaks and has a cheerful lilt to it. According to Darkstalker, her eyes are the same shape as Whiteout's. Even standing on her hind legs, she was less than half of Kestrel's height, and she is the smallest of the dragonets of destiny. She is very small, smaller than Qibli and Winter, and not much larger than Kinkajou and Moonwatcher. Despite having scales that radiate warmth, her tail lacks the venomous barb of normal SandWings and instead curls to an ordinary point. She has golden wings, talons, and ears, a small head, snout, and claws, and moss-colored, gray-green eyes. Sunny has tawny, unusually bright golden-yellow scales for a SandWing that have been described to look like rippled sunshine.
