Sunny is currently involved with Anastas de Kooning, it's a complicated pattern of push and pull. She can never really tell how their interactions are going to end.


Appearance

PB: Selena Gomez

Detailed description: Sunny is incredibly tall for her girl her age. She stands at five foot, eleven inches getting her height from her father's side of the family with her mother's slight build. She is quite muscular for being so thin because she works out a lot. She wears her hair long and wavy, sometimes she straightens it if she can remember.

Sunny is very into teen fashion. She loves layering, bright clothes, excessive accessories, and having things be comfortable and loose. She has her ears pierced and is begging her other for a nose piercing, she thinks she's winning but the battle is far from over. She has a few scars on her legs, elbows, and hands from falling while playing sports or from her lack of coordination on her own two feet. The only noticeable scar she has is about four inch long on her left hip and she refuses to talk about it.


Personality

Likes: Bright colors, peppermint, flowers, art, animals, music, dancing, shopping, reading, the sound of dominoes clicking together, sports, working out, knit things, baking, being outside, climbing trees, watching movies, cuddle snuggle time, NY, summer time, spring, swimming, Brutus, her family, her car Gustave, Mexico, Italian food (made vegan)

Dislikes: Texting, being called flakey, organized religion, ignorance, the ringing of cell phones, physical closeness in certain ways (she loves cuddling but if someone is on top of her she panics), knitting, meat (smell, taste, texture, all of it), being pushed (physically and emotionally), bigots, racists, mean people, Hector, feeling weak

Quirks:
*She dances down the hallway when she thinks she's the only one in a particular hallways
*She talks to the computer if it's giving her trouble
*She likes to name things- rocks, computers, shoes, anything
*If she's not thinking about something the song "Funky Town" will get stuck in her head
*She's a peckish eater and always saves her favorite flavor on the plate for last
*She loves trail mix but she separates everything in the mix and eats them all separately
*She's a vegan but she hates PETA
*Speaks fluent Spanish, Italian, and Latin. She has a huge family on both sides, half of them only speak Spanish while the other half speaks Italian and they refuse to learn each other's languages leaving Sunny ad her immediate family to act as breathing translators during the holidays.
*She wrinkles her nose when she's concentrating
*Serious boundary issues, she'll hug, hold hands, cuddle, and give little kisses but anything else is pushing it, she's hoping to get over this some day but it's still an issue. If she feels like someone is pushing her she reacts by throwing punches to get away.

Secrets:
*She stuffed her bra for a few months in 8th grade.
*She suffered from an eating disorder when she was in eighth grade but has since recovered. She has not had a single relapse and retains a very healthy workout regiment and a healthy diet
*Her older cousin Hector molested and raped her when she was nine years old. The scar on her hip is from him. No one knows this but it's the reason why she stared working out and playing sports. She wanted to be able to defend herself if it ever happened again.
*Sometimes she wishes she could be invisible for a little while

What’s in your characters pockets? Peppermint candies, lip balm, sometimes bubbles. Looks a bit like this

Strengths: Sunny is incredibly loyal, she'll stick up for her friends, family, and personal choices no matter what. Although she looks tiny Sunny is practically all muscle, she is very physically strong. Her friendships are strong as she's very open with her friends about almost everything. She is a good listener and a has a genuine love of life. She has a positive attitude about the world in general and the daily tasks she must face. She is full of energy and enthusiasm for basically everything.

Weaknesses: Sunny is incredibly sensitive about things said to her, she takes every thing personally. She really does try to see the best in everybody and that can sometimes lead to naivety and her being taken advantage off. She's almost too forgiving, she can't hold a grudge to save her life, so no matter the offense, big or small, it's always forgiven in time. When Sunny panics her first initial reaction is fight… physically, since that has been her strength the past few years. She often feels bad about her violent reactions and regrets them. Her silence about her secret with Hector has been heavy. Sunny has a terrible soft spot for bad boys.

Strongest subject in school: Latin and Transfiguration
Weakest subject in school: Astronomy
One thing he/she can't live without: Peppermint.

Detailed personality: Sunny is a very sweet, friendly, warm, and caring person. She is fiercely loyal and this can often lead to her acting quite aggressive toward someone who is bothering a friend or family member. She is not meek by any means and will always speak her mind. She is a fire that can not be put out.

She is very sensitive when it comes to people saying things about her and internalizes a lot of things leading to unhealthy decisions in her past and silly physical alterations, such as stuffing her bra. She has gotten better about this over the years but still has moments of weakness. As a coping mechanism she used her creativity to express herself, she is best when using a medium such as singing, painting, or dancing.

She feels emotions very intensely. Sunny is incredibly forgiving and sympathetic even to those who have severely wronged her but it's how she gets on with life. She recently came to the conclusion that she has spent too much time in the past being angry and she doesn't want to waste any more time with that.

Personal History:
Sunny grew up in a happy home in New York City but her family life was an odd one. Her mother, Katerine Rizzo, was a Southern heiress from Texas and her father, Emmanuel Garcia was a worker at a local road side food stand and did temporary work where ever he could find it. Something they both had in common though was that they attended Crescent City Institute of Magic. They started seeing each other when Katherine was fifteen and Emmanuel was sixteen and continued their relationship even when Katherine's parents threatened to cut her out of the inheritance. The couple moved away from the South when they graduated from CCI and pursued a life of their own in New York City.

When Katherine was twenty three she became pregnant with Emmanuel's baby and was cut off from her inheritance just as her parents had threatened. She didn't mind though because she and Emmanuel were doing just fine on their own. They had their first child, a boy they named Abel. After a few years they decided they wanted more children and Sunny, Lupe, and Camilo were all born within three years. To follow shortly were the twins Emilio and Eligio, but the Garcia's were not done yet, Adora was born five years after the twins.

For the most part Sunny had a great childhood and was never alone considering she had four brothers and two sisters, not to mention a plethora of cousins. She was one of the first of her siblings to start displaying her magical power and it was at a very early age. Sunny was a leader in every way, she always got the other kids to rebel for an early snack or a skipped afternoon nap. Things changed for her when she turned nine. While visiting family in Mexico her cousin Hector abused and molested her. She was crushed. She spent a lot of time feeling dirty, wrong, confused, and guilty. Her confidence was shattered and slowly she faded into the background.

Her parents found Sunny's sudden change in confidence disturbing and tried to help her out of her funk but they didn't know what was wrong. Nothing seemed to work until she got involved in sports and dance. She made a quick recovery and started displaying her old fire again.

Wanting to keep with tradition all of the Garcia children were sent to CCI as soon as they were able to enroll. Sunny fit in quite well, she loved playing sports and partaking in several school activities and even tried out for the Beauregard quodpot team. She was a reserve her freshman year but her junior year she was made into the quarterback. She has also been involved in dance, choir, and the cooking club.

Around the age of thirteen, one of the students in Sunny's grade told her that she looked too manish and square and that she should stop working out. She didn't want to stop working out because she didn't want to risk growing weak and unable to fight for herself. She started to stuff her bra and she became bulimic, trying to thin out her waist and make a more hour glass figure. She kept both a secret. She only stuffed her bra for a few months before she decided it was stupid. Her mother and father were concerned about her health and intervened. They talked to her about healthy living styles and sent her to therapy. She has been very healthy since then and has not had a relapse since eighth grade when she started.

She has studied and worked hard in school and is very intelligent although she is often called flakey because of her bright, flippant personality and love of shopping. She has been in several fist fights but the worst fight was because someone said she wasn't a serious scholar. She got detention for beating up the boy but she did not regret her decision.

As far as her education goes she would like to go to a wizard college if she doesn't get scouted by a quodpot team first. She would also like to become an Animagi. This year was the first time she was allowed to drive her car down to NOLA from NYC. It took her almost twenty two hours spent between two days of driving but she was insistent on having her precious "Gustave" with her.

In her junior year she started dating Anastas de Kooning, things were great and things were terrible. They fought, they made up, she pushed, he pulled, they fought again, and then Stasi ended up in a coma after a drug overdose and he no longer speaks English. She's having a hard time adjusting to her new situation. Though she's faced some of her demons this year, she's still got a long way to go. Right before Stas went into a coma, Sunny got into a fist fight, facing her biggest fear, her cousin Hector and the truth of what he did to her. She lost control and beat him senseless, though it's not the way she would have handled things with a clear head she got over her fear of her cousin and took a little control back. She's got a long road ahead of her but she's looking forward to her senior year.
