Among people she trusts, her communitarian cultural background and military camaraderie drive her—but she still seems formidable. |

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. |

− | Sunrise | + | 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. |

− | She remains devoted to her family, writing and sending money when she can. | + | 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. She remains devoted to her family, writing and sending money when she can. She wonders what happened to her old partner in crime. |

Instead, he fought for the Browncoats, teaching Sunrise the delicate art of wartime logistics. 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.'' |
