Sunny

After he stayed three months in the ruins of the Dark City, he reunited with Nephis and the rest, Effie noted that he looked feral. He wore ragged clothes, dirty hair, a crooked grin, and a hint of madness burning in his eyes.^[23]

There was a subtle strangeness about him that it seemed as though his every move, every word was ever so slightly not exactly how they should have been. Not really wrong, but also not completely right. This quality was equally as disturbing as it was magnetic.^[73]

Sunny was back to being a human again, to his own slender, pale body.^[26]

The scrawny kid from the outskirts was gone. Instead, a young man with porcelain skin and striking black eyes took his place. Deep in their darkness, visible only to himself, golden threads of Weaver's forbidden legacy glowed with the flame of divinity.^[75]

Sunny wore stylish civilian clothes which were predominantly black, with subdued grey accents. There was something about him that demanded attention and also because he was incredibly attractive.^[46] He was undeniably attractive but not exactly masculine in appearance.^[76]

From Luster's perspective, Sunny was of small stature, with flawless ivory skin, black hair, and unfathomable dark eyes. He was extremely young and looked like a porcelain doll. In fact, he was kind of cute in a strange, unsettling sort of way. He thought of Sunless as a shorty.^[77]

After Sunny bound the Mantle of the Underworld to his soul, using the [Soulbound Relic] enchantment, his skin appeared pretty much the same, but somehow even paler and smoother. (See [Marble Shell])^[78] It was noticed by Roan that he seemed older, though not by his appearance.^[79]

He has porcelain skin and black hair, eyes that glisten like dark gemstones. When he appeared, the darkness enveloping the surroundings suddenly seemed to become deeper, darker, and more frightening.^[52]

He could change his height if he wanted as a shadow, and shadows are inherently formless so he could assume any form he wanted, but his original appearance felt the most natural. He and Nephis likes it.^[19]

In Chapter 2614, it was mentioned that when Sunny confronted Old Tom without the protection of his Shell, he revealed his true form as a vast, formless shadow. That turned the tide of battle in his favor but also left him vulnerable to soul damage.

According to Cassie, Sunny's true essence is that of a shadow who could take the form of a human. Unlike ordinary beings, whose mortal flesh serves as the natural foundation of their existence, Sunny's human body is merely a shell that contained his true essence. His physical form is simply a form he took. This distinction becomes especially significant during the transformation into a Supreme, where ordinary humans must undergo the process of being reforged and reborn as a more perfect being, while Sunny's transformation occurred almost instantly due to the fundamentally non-human nature of his existence.^[89]

Initially, he has always strived to be self-sufficient, not allowing himself to depend on anyone. In his mind, this was the true meaning of strength. However, he changed his mind after fighting together with Nephis in the Dream Realm.^[95] He had changed without even noticing. Somehow, he had grown unsatisfied with his previous way of life — one where his sole goal of survival at all costs overshadowed everything else. Whether he lived or died had always been the only thing that mattered. But now, "how" he lived mattered more.^[96] He is a very rapacious person, but he knows how to keep his avarice in check most of the time.^[97][98][99] After leaving the ancient stronghold, his behavior became highly erratic and a bit crazy.^[100]

Sunny used the shield of madness to save himself from the bottomless despair that threatened to destroy him completely. It protected him from having to look at the heartbreaking truth and remember it. Additionally, he has the habit of making himself an outcast to prevent anyone from making him one.^[101]

Now that he had risen above his previous pathetic self, he had a whole swarm of new, much more serious problems. Nephis, the Sovereigns, the legacy of the mysterious Weaver, and all of these things promised a future full of turmoil and danger. He was not exactly the kind of person who had good things to offer to anybody.^[107]

Despite how complicated his relationship with Cassie is, he could put away his resentment for the sake of mutual benefit. He's a very pragmatic person when he needs to be.^[108] He was really bad at dealing with his feelings and for him, fighting hordes of Nightmare Creatures was much easier.^[109]

In the waking world, Sunny exhibited being a petty person. An example of this was when he ate a juicy peach with gusto in front of Cassie without offering one to the latter.^[110] Another was when Rain laughed at him when he said he could make Kai teach her how to shoot a bow personally, causing Rain to taunt him to might as well invite him to dinner which he actually did.^[111][112]

His own goals are to have a good life, to be free, and to make sure that those he cared about were safe. Although his desires were centered around himself, he considers them a great virtue.^[116]

Usually, Sunny felt a lot of negative emotions every time he thought about the Innate Ability of his Aspect, Shadow Bond, which tied him to Changing Star's will. However, after he learned how he and Nephis can augment each other, his curiosity and greed for power briefly overpowered his resentment.^[117]

He can maintain composure despite seething emotions, honed through years of battles and conflicts.^[118]

He cared deeply for his sister, willingly providing her with a handicap, believing she didn't have to grow strong or die, and seeing himself as capable of being strong for both of them.^[119]

He admitted that he was contrarian and antisocial enough to balance the agreeableness of people who chose the life of service.^[120] Apparently, both Nephis and Obel thinks that he underestimates himself and his abilities.^[121][122]

He felt indignation as he witnessed the deaths of good men and women in Antarctica, while powerful ones were absent. Despite leading the caravan and pretending to be an intrepid commander, he felt much more comfortable living alone in the dark.^[123]

Previously, Sunny held contempt for Legacies, believing they were arrogant and hateful, someone who did not deserve the unfair privileges bestowed upon them by nothing except for birthright. However, he eventually valued and admired some of them.^[124]

In the end, he did not find his conviction and did not need it. All he ever wanted was to live a good life and keep the people he cared about safe. He hated the Sovereigns because of the world they built, and their pursuit of conviction which trampled millions in the process.^[125]

Sunny contemplated his life without lying, imagining if it would have been easier or harder. He would not have become enslaved but would have never gotten close to others, choosing to lie and manipulate them instead of trusting them. This fear of rejection and betrayal would probably lead to his death or at least turn into something ugly and twisted.^[127]

Sunny, who once wanted to be as strong as Changing Star, now realizes his understanding of real strength has been misguided.^[128]

In the past, Sunny had tried to remain under the radar by hiding his power to appear weak and insignificant. After arriving in Antarctica, he was forced to reveal enough of his strength to avoid being perceived as weak. Now, he needs a new disguise. Sunny's goal is to deceive the representatives of the great clans and gain respect for his abilities.^[129]

Sunny knew how precious and fragile trust was. He had taken time to extend his own trust toward Effie and Kai, but his friends respected his silence and did not push him to reveal his secrets.^[130]

Sunny had been aiming to achieve his freedom which had his real goal all along. However, he found himself bound to more people, places, and things than ever before. He was bound by his own desires. This realization led him to question the power of the Demon of Desire, which had been one of the most powerful among the daemons, except for Weaver. He considered whether being bound to people, ideas, and values was a good thing, as he had chosen these bonds himself. Despite this, a small part of Sunny rebelled against this, wanting to be free and unrestrained. He had to finish his mission, which was to evacuate the citizens of Antarctica, and then explore other options. Despite his distant dreams, Sunny remained calm and determined, possibly recognizing his true conviction.^[131]

His Flaw had landed him in trouble, but it also benefited him. Without the Flaw, he would have continued to lie and deceive, remaining isolated and untrusting. The mindset that saved his life in the outskirts would have become the end of him in the perilous world of the Spell. He would not have grown close to others and made friends, potentially leading to his death in a ditch, miserable and alone.^[134]

Sunny had complicated relationships with his closest companions, Nephis, and Cassie. They have been in a tangled mess of emotions and unspoken things, resulting in a strained and emotionally charged relationship for a long time, especially with Nephis. It took him a long time to recognize how he felt about Nephis.^[40]

In Chapter 1478, Sunny recognizes that his desire to protect his companions is more powerful than his vindictive desire to avenge himself.

Sunny had long realized that his allies were a part of his power but still felt disappointed in himself for not doing well in the Nightmare, as he had performed exceptionally well until the battle in Twilight happened. Though experiencing a setback was a change of pace.^[135]

Sunny believes that knowledge is the origin of power, but it is also the heaviest thing in the world.^[137]

Sunny endured great tragedies to continue his journey. He couldn't remain unmoved despite his world's destruction and species extinction. Knowledge is indeed the heaviest thing in the world.^[138] He no longer cared about the bitter past, as it no longer influenced him, as he had outgrown the outskirts.^[139]

In Chapter 1908, Sunny's subconscious bias was shattered when he realized that each Aspect was unique and there were all kinds of them out there.

About Shadow Bond

Sunny had improved his once rudimentary archery skill after months of fighting in Antarctica. His accuracy was now scarily perfect.^[79]

Sunny won dire battles with cunning and guile, using underhanded tricks and using every single resource available to him in unexpected ways. He used force of will and boundless spitefulness to tear victories from fate. Although he was good in fights, his sharp sword was not what made him truly deadly.^[150]

Sunny inherited the intrinsic predisposition to weaving from the Demon of Fate. He was able to intuitively sense the purpose of spellweave elements due to his connection to Weaver. This talent was literally in his blood.^[151]

Sunny who had grown vastly more powerful from when he was Awakened, received revelations of madness from the Sin of Solace^[157], had glimpsed the secrets left behind by Ariel and was inoculated against the power of the forbidden runes by the knowledge of the Forgotten God. Now, he did not feel repelled by the runes carved into the walls of the Ebony Tower but only caused him a slight discomfort. He also had to be careful as the knowledge of the Void could potentially plant Corruption into his Soul.^[158]

After years of wandering and exploring ancient ruins, he could decipher the meaning of the forbidden runes, but a proper translation would take time.^[158]

In Chapter 2849, the Deathless launched a vast cloud of arrows, javelins, and makeshift projectiles, each carrying enough force and murderous will to kill a Supreme, demonstrating that their attacks were powerful enough to destroy beings of that rank. However, beings like Sunny and Nephis, who possessed near-immortality, were described as extremely difficult to kill. This near-immortality was a sword that cut both ways—while it made someone like them hard to kill even against such deadly attacks, it also meant that defeat could be far worse than death, since an enemy could impale, surround, and restrain him, leaving him trapped in endless suffering rather than granting the mercy of death.

Nature

Weaponized Will

• He learned to cook for himself after he purchased his own house.^[99] He had improved his culinary skills which enabled him to cook food for his friends.^[112][164]

• Scouting

• Craftmanship

Later he was seen wearing a clean police-issued tracksuit before going to the Academy.^[55] Everyone at the Academy thought that he was weak, grew up without any education in the outskirts, and had no training. More than that, he was apparently either insane or incredibly stupid. His temper was terrible. But that was all a façade to cover up his flaw.^[195] He is the second-to-last place in the Academy rankings, right above Cassie's.^[196]

• His parents' makeshift resting place was just two lines carved into an old tree since he was too poor to afford even the cheapest slot in the remembrance facility.^[197]
  • In Chapter 1661, the same tree was stolen by Sunny from the outskirt of NQSC, replaced by another, to be planted in Godgrave.
• "[Your shadow grows stronger]" was what the Spell whispers to Sunny after he killed humans or creatures.^[198][199]
• The Spell seems to always call him "treacherous" as a way to praise him.^{[64][200][201]}
• Not long before Sunny was born, a Rank 5 Gate opened, which left a whole continent uninhabitable.^[202]
  • Sunny's birth was unusual, considering it happened during a solar eclipse and winter solstice.^[203]
• He told Cassie about his First Nightmare when she felt sorry for being useless.^[204]
• Sunny was seven when his mother died.^[205][206]
• In Chapter 171, Sunny mentioned that besides his family, there are only two people he cared about in the world: Nephis and Cassie. But the way he felt toward Nephis is almost like a second flaw.
• The Spell's voice seemed excited whenever Sunny consumes things related to Weaver.^[207][208]
• There are eight times that his True Name was ever said out loud:
  • Thrice by the Spell.^{[55][22][209]}
  • Four times by himself to Harper, the creature of Reckoning Island, to Mordret, to Azure Serpent and to Nephis.^{[210][211][212][31][213]}
  • Twice by Nephis.^[214][215]
  • Once by Mordret.^[216]
  • Twice by Sin of Solace's curse (using his own voice mentally)^[217]
• During his time alone in the ruins:
  • He lived in the upper part of a ruined cathedral guarded by a powerful Nightmare Creature.^[218]
  • He developed a hobby of uncovering fragments of long-lost history and piecing them together.^[219]
  • He managed to survive three whole months in the ruins by hiding in the shadows and hunting carefully chosen prey at night.^[23][220]
  • He carved something beneath the lines that marked the days he had spent living in the ruined cathedral. There were two runes left on the wall: One meaning sun and the other meaning loss.^[221]
• He opened up to Nephis about his family, especially his sister when he asked her about her goals.^[222]
• He had gained ten Memories to feed his Shadow from the Memory market. And even managed to purchase a tier-six Ascended armor for the laughable sum of seven soul shards.^[223]
• He first established Brilliant Emporium in Forgotten Shore.^[224]
• He wants to open a store but he doesn't have enough memories yet.^[225]

• He stayed in Forgotten Shore for a year and two weeks.^[25]
• His life's goal is to become stronger, as strong and fast as he possibly could, to not fall behind Nephis.^[228][229]

• He had to only spend around four hours in the Dream Realm before he could use the gateway again.^[230]
• He had sworn off alcohol after his experiences on the Forgotten Shore, but he wasn't against making some money from it.^[230] But he became a Master, he was unable to get drunk unless he wanted to. His body was going to treat alcohol as a weak poison and resist it.^[231]
• He had used the enchantment of Weaver's Mask to see the Strings of Fate only once to save himself from being destroyed by the Crushing together with Twisted Rock Island.^[232]
  • Among the many strings of fate tightly wrapped around his body, two shone the brightest: one was made of pure white flame and the other made out of beautiful golden light.^[233]
• To avoid being starved to death during his fall into the Sky Below he decided to eat the raw meat of the mimic, the idea which even his shadows seemed disgusted. As an Awakened his digestive system was much stronger than that of mundane humans and there was Blood Weave.^[234]
• He told both Kai and Effie about his [Fated] attribute to explain why he had gone for a month.^[235]
• According to him, his new favorite memory is the Covetous Coffer.^[236]
• He never lost sleep over any of the humans that had died by his hand, except for Harper. He admitted that he enjoyed killing some of them a little.^[237][238]
• He guessed that one of the reasons Changing Star had chosen to impart her family battle style to him was because she had recognized that the two of them were similar, both of them had seen and known the truth of the world.^[238]
• He considered Mordret to be a perfect companion, because he only appeared once every few days for a short while, helped him with advice, and then disappeared without a trace, not asking for anything in return.^[239]
• According to Mordret, he smelled the stench of a Dreamspawn on him, which is due to being connected to Nephis.^[240]
• There were very few people in the two worlds who knew the secret of his Flaw:
  • Nephis^[216]
  • Cassie^[216]
  • Mirror Beast when it mirrored his Aspect.^[216] In relation, Mordret knew after Sunny brought the mirror shard to him.^[240][216]
  • Kai and Effie (Sunny revealed his secrets himself, except for the bond and his True Name and why he hid it).^[241]
  • Jet (his Flaw).^[242]
• He had learned that his soul had a fearsome defense system against those who would try to possess it. The silent shadows that dwelled in his Soul Sea were not there just for decoration.^[212][243]
• One of Sunny's wishes is to be taller and that was granted when he challenged his Second Nightmare though the body given by the Spell to him was not that of a human.
• According to Noctis, his name, Sunless, is a fitting and worthy name for a shadow.^[244]
• The pale friend of Noctis mentioned in the description of Covetous Coffer was Sunny all along.^[245][183]

• He told Noctis about the Nightmare Spell and who he and his friends were but the latter did not believe him.^[247]
• After he told his secrets to Cassie, Kai, and Effie he felt so disgusted and itchy. The secrets namely:^[241]
  • His flaw is that he can't lie.
  • His possession of a true name (except his True Name) and why he hides it.
  • His aspect rank is Divine, he has more than one Shadow core, and his aspect legacy is already unlocked.
  • He had inherited a daemon lineage.
  • He was Lord Mongrel.
• Sunny's True Name has the power to have absolute control over him.^[151]
• Sunny rated the worst pain he ever experienced:^[58]
  • First: Catching a glimpse of fate which he only survived by accident.
  • Second: Attaining a daemon's lineage.
  • Third: Forming a new core.
• In the process of attaining a devil core inside the second nightmare, since he was in the body of a demon, not only his soul went through a transformation but also his body.^[58]
• He did not know much about astronomy but due to being born during a solar eclipse, he knew a thing or two about eclipses.^[248]
• Reports he had written:
  • "Exploration Report on the Forgotten Shore, by: Awakened Sunless"^[249]
  • "The Exploration Report on Chained Isles by Ascended Sunless"^[67]
  • "The Exploration Report on the Tomb of Ariel", written by Nobody. The research paper was anonymously published by Sunny.^[15]
  • The Exploration Report on Everything, by: Nobody.^[16]
• He called Cassie by her nickname again after Nephis was back in the waking world.^[250]
• He dived into Nephis' dream with the help of Nightmare.^[251] In that dream he told her he missed her but then questioned her about leaving him behind.^[252]
• He showed off his improved cooking skill to Nephis by letting her try his ramen, which no one ever tried.^[253]
• When he made coffee for himself, Nephis, and Cassie, he dumped 2 spoons of sugar into his cup. He also knows the coffee preference of Nephis and Cassie.^[254]
• He only liked the waking world better than the Dream Realm because it was safer and had nice things, like delicious food, comfortable furniture, and network dramas and Rain.^[231]
• He doesn't like honey due to its origin mentioned by Cassie. Apparently, Sunny has his limits for his food and something that was disgorge from an insect is a no no.^[255] In Chapter 2353, Sunny finds honey terrifying and vile—especially when Nephis pours it on the pancakes he made—yet despite his horror at tainting innocent pancakes, he's willing to fill the entire Ivory Tower with honey and even replace the lake's water with it, simply because Nephis likes it.
• He brought Nephis to the outskirts to visit his parent's grave.^[256]
• He agreed to go to Antarctica to search for his true strength.^[118]
• His own dossier in the government database was rather short and mostly consisted of question marks.^[120]
• He confirmed the following rumors about him to his subordinates for Antarctica Campaign.^[77]
  • Killed four hundred Awakened abominations and hunted down a Fallen Devil as a Sleeper.
  • A distinguished explorer and researcher whose published works are well-known in academic circles.

• Cooking always made him feel calmer.^[257]
• His eyes, which were capable of peering through any shadow, were blind in true darkness.^[258]
• He has spent the majority of his life alone. He had gained some good friends after being infected by the Spell but he thinks that people like Effie, Kai, and even Nephis and Cassie would have abandoned him if he had been weak and useless.^[122]
• He still recalled some of the terrifying nightmares he had been tormented to by his shadowy steed. He seems to have gained an exceptionally high tolerance to pain and fear along the way, without even realizing it.^[259]

• He received a strange trauma after touching the Nightmare Gate^[260][261] but was all gone in Chapter 1025
• He became the envoy of House Valor in East Antarctica.^[54]
• If it were not for the fact that his Titan kills were somewhat murky, he would be going around demanding people to call him "Titan Slayer".^[262]
• Nephis mentioned that Sunny attracts the stern stoic type, vaguely sinister, or completely insane kinds of people.^[263]
• He may branch out Brilliant Emporium and open it in Bastion. He was also thinking of opening a restaurant.^[264]
• Sunny hated losing to a member of a Great Clan and deeply resented them, as being defeated by someone he disdained was a bitter pill to swallow.^[265]
• In Chapter 1179, Sunny cooked the dish taught by Obel for Cassie and Nephis.
• In Chapter 1186, Sunny revealed he was Mongrel and all his Shadows (Saint, Nightmare and Raveneous Fiend) to Morgan.
• In Chapter 1275, he admitted that he was so much fond of Nephis.
• In Chapter 1286, Sunny ranked the enemies he faced in Antarctica, the Terror of LO49 was placed second to Winter Beast. Goliath, who had literally killed him, did not leave as harrowing of an impression.
• The Spell seemed to like Sunny's speech before killing the Azure Serpent that it included his speech word by word into the Memory description of Crown of Twilight.^[266]
• According to Ananke, Sunny is beloved by fate, but Sunny thinks he is more like cursed by it.^[267]
• He can run across water as if it were land by combining the [Feather of Truth] trait of his Shell with the [Royal Promise] enchantment of the Crown of Twilight.^[268]
• Sunny had always wanted to die of old age.^[269]
• One of the reasons Sunny had chosen to break fate was because Shadow Bond's harm became real after he realized his feelings to Nephis^[40], forming an impregnable wall between them, making the idea of a future together seem beyond reach.^[270] As long as Shadow Bond exists, any relationship between them is impossible. Only by becoming free of her could Sunny be with her.^[271]

• In Chapter 1668, Sunny had brought Nephis to the jungle inside the hollow bone of a giant skeleton after being apart for four years.
• Sunny found the thrill and charm of exploring forgotten ruins to be the closest thing to a hobby.^[273]

• In Chapter 1694, Sunny thought his appearance as a Saint was a curse. Jet, who had once told Sunny he could become a flower boy now came to bite him.
• On the day the King of Swords defended SQSC, he met Nephis as a Saint. That day was memorable for Sunny because it was the moment he learned that his existence had been erased from the hearts of everyone who knew him.^[274]
• His first meeting with Nephis is still fresh in his memory. Back on the bridge in front of the academy, he had been attracted by how aloof and detached from the world Nephis was. He also felt a subtle sense of kinship because they were the only sleepers who wore standard-issue police tracksuits.^[274]
• In Chapter 1701, Sunny had underestimated the potential consequences of playing Neph's secret darling.
• Sunny only learned cursive after returning from the Forgotten Shore and gaining a position as a research assistant.^[48]
• In Chapter 1706, Sunny became the Memory Purveyor of the Fire Keepers.

• Sunny celebrated his twenty-second birthday in the Hollow Mountains.^[276]
• Sunny dumped two years' worth of memories into Cassie's head in the span of a few hours.^[277]
• In Chapter 1804, Sunny was knighted as Knight of Valor without his knowledge.
• Sunny suppressed his presence using Nebulous Mantle.^[278]

• In Chapter 1844, Sunny invited Aiko and Rain to join his Shadow Clan.
• Sunny had a soft spot for rhinos.^[279]
• Sunny's Aspect originated from the Shadow God.^[280]
• In Chapter 1974, Sunny revealed to Rain that he was the Lord of Shadows and that he could live multiple lives simultaneously. He had been pretending to be many things: a sellsword Saint hired by the King of Swords, the Knight Commander of the Great Clan Valor, and the mysterious Memory Purveyor of Ivory Island, the citadel of Changing Star. Additionally, he was a master chef based in Bastion. He also revealed to Rain that he was also her long-lost brother before she was adopted.
• The reason he is 26 years old in Chapter 1592 despite being born twenty-five years ago and five years older than Rain despite having been only four years before her. The Tomb of Ariel is a bit confusing due to having a River of Time inside.^[18]
• He is aware of his naming sense which is overly literal and lacks nuance or creativity.^[281]
• In Chapter 2245, Sunny finally understood the path to Supremacy same time as Nephis, he must die on his own terms to achieve it. (Refer to Sunny's Process to Natural Supremacy)
• According to Kim in Chapter 2275, his waffles are to die for. In Chapter 1694, Nephis also seemed to enjoy the waffles Sunny made.
• After becoming Supreme, his mind had grown more powerful as he climbed high in the Path of Ascension that he was tempted to summon Weaver's Mask and activate [Where is my eye?].^[282]
• According to him, he was born in a rundown public hospital in the outskirts of NQSC. It was a normal delivery.^[283]
• Julius played chess with Sunny before and his take on chess is quite dismissive and negative. Initially intrigued, he quickly lost interest when he realized that being good at chess required mastering patterns and calculations. To him, that made the game feel more like a tedious chore than an enjoyable challenge. He finds such intellectual rigor boring and unnecessary, especially since his real life already involves a lot of calculating. Sunny prefers games that are more chaotic, unpredictable, or allow for mischief—like checkers or backgammon, especially because he enjoys the possibility of cheating with dice in the latter.^[284]
• In Chapter 2352, when Kai asked Sunny who he hates more between wraiths or bird, he said the bird.
• Sunny's alternative to his True Name—the anchor to his identity—was a list of names representing the people most important to him. These names were: Nephis, Cassie, Effie, Kai, Rain, Jet, Noctis, Ananke, Aiko, Julius, Beth, Kim, Luster, Quentin, Dorn, Belle, Samara, Obel. Reciting these names would help ground him and remind him of who he truly was if he ever lost himself to the Puppeteer's mind control.^[285]
• In Chapter 2408, Sunny nearly lost himself in the form and mind of a Stone Saint and also nearly killing Kai in the process.
• In Chapter 2580, Sunny crushed the Millipede Queens' stronghold in the Burned Forest and conquers the final nest, effectively claiming it as his second citadel.
• In Chapter 2599, Sunny revealed to Jet that he was the only weaver in existence and more than that, quite the master of Weaver's sorcery.
• Sunny's favorite pastime was bewildering people with honest retellings of his numerous misadventures.^[286]
• Sunny believed he could succeed in the Fifth Nightmare because, unlike Asterion, he was a master of maintaining his sense of self intact, a skill rooted in his very nature as a shadow, which was formless and shapeless, and reinforced through relentless training to never forget himself via Shadow Dance, to the point that even the mists of the Hollow Mountains had failed to erode him into nothingness; this mastery of self-preservation meant that, despite the Fifth Nightmare's forced and dangerous transformation of consciousness required for Apotheosis, Sunny possessed a rare resilience against losing his humanity and identity, allowing him to endure the trial without being destroyed by it.^[287]
• It was mentioned in Chapter 2980 that after losing the Nightmare Spell, Sunny manually filled in the missing information himself. Although Cassie assisted him, their descriptions were still unable to match the level of insight provided by the Spell.
• In Chapter 3023-3024, Sunny is teaching Ananke of Weaving.
• Sunny had considered French toast the ultimate breakfast food, declaring it the "undisputed king of breakfast foods". He had also claimed that the secret to making flawless French toast was using slightly stale bread.^[288]
