==Distinctions [[file:d8a.png|32px|d6]]==
===Big Damned Hero SFX===
Once per scene, step up or double one Attribute die for an action. Ones (1s) and twos (2s) count as hitches for the roll.

===Profession [[file:d8a.png|28px|d8]]===
:''Independent Operator'': If it's at all related to business negotiations, trade, or logistics, she's done it running a blockade with her ship on fire.
::SFX: '''Resourceful:''' ''Years of experience have left her prepared for anything.'' Once per Scene, Sunrise can spend 1PP to just happen to have the available information, or common tool or materiel, she can use. Create a d8 Asset for the scene. 
::Hinder SFX: '''Hinder:''' ''Sometimes a distinction works against you.'' <u>Roll [[file:d4a.png|18px|d4]] instead of  [[file:d8a.png|20px|d8]] to gain 1 PP</u>
----

===Background [[file:d8a.png|28px|d6]]===
:''Ruthless'': She went from wrestling with three older brothers to shoulder-checking her way through crowds and browbeating bazaar merchants into submission to killing an enemy officer with her bare hands. Obstacles exist to be smashed.
::SFX: '''Make It So:''' ''Sunrise's iron confidence inspires her crew to excel.'' Step down a role to step up a crew member's role.
::Hinder SFX: '''Hinder:''' ''Sometimes a distinction works against you.'' <u>Roll [[file:d4a.png|18px|d4]] instead of  [[file:d8a.png|20px|d8]] to gain 1 PP</u>
----

===Quirk [[file:d8a.png|28px|d6]]===
:''Sharp Elbows'': It's the unblinking and cold-eyed stare, the squared shoulders, the power poses, the blunt speech with the martial cadence. Nice and polite aren't in her vocabulary, though Aanjay is working patiently to add them. Among people she trusts, her communitarian cultural background and military camaraderie drive her, but she's only soft around her very small circle of close friends.
::Hinder SFX: '''Hinder:''' ''Sometimes a distinction works against you.'' <u>Roll [[file:d4a.png|18px|d4]] instead of  [[file:d8a.png|20px|d8]] to gain 1 PP</u>

::'''Knack''': ''Authority'' [[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]]: Sunrise can impose, or assert, orderliness, calmly but firmly ordering disorderly crowds to stand down and channel their energies in a suggested way.

[[File:Aanjay_Dewi_%28head_shot_web%29.png|200px|right]]

==Signature Assets [[file:d6a.png|32px|d6]] [[File:Arrow03.png|24px]]==
'''Aanjay Dewi''' [[file:d8a.png|32px|d8]]: The daughter of an Alliance military-industrial mogul who fled the marriage her father tried to arrange, Sunrise's assistant is a slight, soft-spoken young woman with a smooth charm, impeccable courtesy, and a precise manner. She dresses with understated elegance, in muted tones. Aanjay handles a lot of the tedium of the career: keeping spreadsheets, accounting, wrangling government officials, filling out paperwork, and finding and relaying answers to questions involving facts, figures, and laws. She is trying to sand down Sunrise's many rough edges without drawing her boss's attention to the project.

==Description and Backstory==
Sunrise looks and acts like she owns the place, no matter the place. On business, she prefers severe clothing in black, favoring leather, and narrow heels that make her heavy, march-like steps reverberate like gunfire. She looks like the wrestler she is; muscle is packed densely around her medium-height frame, and an hourglass figure as assertive as the rest of her around that. She has dark bronze skin, high and expressive eyebrows, strong cheekbones, a bold nose, and a mouth that varies from scowls to a Mona Lisa smile. Her golden eyes, set deep in her face, belong on a large raptor. Her straight, coal-black hair is pulled into a tight bun.

The fourth of five children, and the only daughter, Sunrise learned very quickly how to fend for herself. Her family lives in a poor neighborhood full of her people; more community-oriented than the Alliance Chinese city they were part of, they kept their heads down and tried to hold on to their traditions while dodging the attention of the giant military contractors who effectively ruled the city. She became hellbent on breaking the cycle of poverty and find a way to bring real money to her family without selling out. While setting out to establish herself and build supply lines back to her community, she met Nadezdha and the two hit it off more or less immediately. The war severed that relationship—Nat stayed civilian—and changed her, hardened her. They stayed in touch, but for security reasons neither could divulge their location or mission, so all Sunrise knows is that Nat is OK and making her way.

She gave the Browncoats no chance to win, at least not on her local front, but the opportunity to blacken some eyes and bloody some lips on the way down was worth it. She helped secure and coordinate supplies to the front lines and movement of injured troops back to medical, and flew some of the ships herself. This involved some combat, so she improved as a logistics coordinator and become more well-rounded as a pilot and captain. She made a fair few connections, but in wartime people have a habit of dying, or going to ground after defeat, and so she doesn't have nearly as many as she hoped for. She still has her brown coat. She rarely wears it, mostly because it clashes with her mostly-black wardrobe.

She remains devoted to her family, writing and sending money when she can.

===Bound by Law===
:The authorities are looking for you. They just want to talk. ''Promise''. What do they think you are guilty of? Did you do what they think you did?
:''When you go indie, you don't ask too many questions about what you're delivering to whom or how you're getting past customs. Honesty and wealth are a rare combination. I suppose Aanjay's dad wants her back, too. Not likely. She's so done with him that she hasn't even told me his name.''

===Friends in Low Places===
:You know a guy. Who are they? Describe a GMC your character knows well enough to call on for the occasional favor. This contact is a purely narrative asset with no die ranking. (Ranked contacts, if you want them, should appear as Signature Assets or SFX).
:''Xiang was a good man. He could have secured a comfy Alliance gig. Instead, he fought for the Browncoats, teaching me the delicate art of wartime logistics right in the midst of war. Unfortunately, his nerves failed him and he fell into a bottle. He still knows a lot, and a lot of people. He's in civilian logistics now, although he's not nearly as sharp as he used to be.''
