Thoughts On The Kingdom Of Aibruvia:
Honestly, she isn’t a big fan of how it’s being run at the moment but it’s not exactly her kingdom to run. So, put simply, she can tolerate it for now- But if she gets a chance to change it? You better bet those taxes are going down immediately and people are getting the help and care they deserve. Also, the lights are super pretty! Shiny things are sooo cool!

Appearance:
(Credit to Edhelsen@picrew.me)
Suna resides at the height of 5’ 11”, though she often wears shoes with platforms to get to an even 6’ 0”. Her skin tone is a sumatra(SA-7) with warm, honey undertones that give her a friendly, innocent, sunny look. She has some freckles, though they aren’t as visible unless she's under direct sunlight.
--
Suna has a diamond face shape, meaning she has a smaller forehead and a smaller chin, and the middle of her face is wider. Her jawline is much more pointed too, and her cheeks have a fullness to them that doesn’t even seem full. Now for the nose, she has a pointed upturned nose, which basically means her nose has a sharp point that’s turned upwards. Her lips are naturally pointy, and her most often seen expressions are usually smiles or grins of any kind.
--
She has an average eyebrow when it comes to thickness, though it does have a rather pronounced arch. Finally the eyes, she has protruding hooded eyes that are a deep, dark chocolate brown color. Specks of amber and black swirl in them too, giving the impression of chocolate caramel at times when the light catches them. Her face is framed by wavy, voluminous, thick, 2C black hair that goes down to her tailbone in length. Frankly, it practically envelopes her with its thick, voluminous, onyx waves.
--
Her body structure could quickly be described as simply muscular, everything about her screams physical strength. Especially when taking into consideration that this gal weighs a good 150 lbs with her BMI at a healthy 20.92 due to the vast amounts of muscle she has. Her nails and fingers are also a sight to behold, her right hand has nails cut and trimmed to be sturdy while her left hand has nails clipped for function. Both hands have fingers with many calluses and small scars, due to a decade of practicing and playing her instrument. After all, unlike many modern players of her instrument, she still uses the traditional way to play. With her nails and fingers.

Personality:
Suna is… Interesting, to say the least. She’s like the first rain after a drought, like a sunrise promising warmth after winter, like the first flowers to bloom in Spring… She’s full of life. She’s sweet and energetic and pure. She never lost the childlike wonder as most people do with age. She’s still a curious, free spirit of the grasslands. Of the plains and meadows.
--
She’s very energetic, with boundless energy and appreciation for all things in life. She hates to sit still, hates waiting, and definitely hates anything mundane. Like paperwork. She’d much rather be exercising or playing Li-qin, her Pipa.
--
She tends towards pranks and other jokes with children, showing them good ones and how to better pull them off. Talking to people has never been a struggle for her, and she finds it very easy to get along with most anyone.
--
Something that runs in her family is honesty. Her brother Kason hates lying, her father Zoro has a tendency to tell the truth, and she is a blunt, stubborn force that sees the beauty in truth where others, especially liars, would only see desolate pain. She’s sympathetic enough to make sure she doesn’t hurt people’s feelings but she’s honest enough to not sugarcoat too extremely. Plus, she’s just a bad liar, she can’t keep a straight face to save her life.
--
She also tends to not think before she speaks unless it’s important, which probably helps with her honesty. She goes off of gut feelings mostly, trusting her intuition. And with her stubbornness? It can cause some problems. Especially when she gets into trouble but refuses to believe she did the wrong thing.

Backstory:
Born to a loving family on the first day of Summer, Suma has lived a pretty comfortable life in Hoewsia. Growing up surrounded by the arts, she definitely took a liking to them. The love of shiny things must be genetic because her brother and father both love people with jewelry and shiny things more than those without. She’s certainly no different. She started playing the Pipa when she was 8 and became obsessed with exercise and training at 12 after a close brush with death that she managed to get away from unscathed. As she isn’t the next in line in her family, that would be her elder brother Kason, she has been turning her attention to the arts and decided to do this suitor thing in order to spread her music and keep good ties. She is rumored to be the best Pipa player in Hoewsia, after all.
Other: Thunderbirds are pretty cool.
--
Her Pipa is named Li-qin, meaning literally ‘beautiful stringed musical instrument’.
--
Li-qin has four strings and 31 frets, the pear shaped body being made out of hollowed teak wood from the plains. Six of the frets are on the short neck of the instrument, made of a soft stone, while the other twenty five on the body are made out of bamboo strips. The four tuning legs for the strings are also made of a soft stone, and are mounted to the arched, back-bending pegbox. Suna has never decorated her instrument, keeping it exactly as it was made to be and kept it in prime condition to the best of her ability.
