Basil's photo album shows the group being extremely close knit: They went to school together, they celebrated each other's birthdays, and they even coordinated to build a treehouse in Sunny's backyard. He frequently played with his neighbors Kel, Hero, Aubrey, and Basil, the latter of which was described as being his best friend. While he initially enjoyed the lessons, he found himself growing increasingly frustrated over his sister's perfectionism, his lack of progress in practicing, and his lessons interfering in the time he spent with his friends. Noticing how much time Sunny spent listening to Mari practice on her piano, Sunny's friends ultimately saved up to purchase him a new violin, allowing him to reattend his lessons and spend more time with Mari. In his youth, Sunny used to play the violin, but stopped at some point. He had an older sister named Mari and presumably has lived in Faraway Town since his childhood. Sunny was born to unnamed parents on July 20th, being approximately 16 years old during the events of the game. less than useless sick," and as someone who doesn't "deserve to live."
However, it's suggested that this may instead be related to his extremely low self-esteem: Omori comments on this during the final battle, suggesting that he feels himself to be "useless. He is additionally shown to be very helpful, being able to work for multiple people and shops throughout Faraway Town, and optionally helping others with their errands and requests with little to no payment, showing no objections. He also demonstrates remarkably high intelligence: Despite having dropped out of school when he was twelve years old and technically lacking most formal education, he appears to have functional knowledge of advanced concepts such as calculating standard deviation of statistics and can successfully tutor two children in two different subjects that he likely hadn't been properly taught. Sunny appears to have a rather sharp sense of humor, going by the many quips he makes, both as Omori in Headspace and in reality. Sunny appears to be somewhat judgmental and snarky: Omori's skills such as Mock, Exploit, and Shun encourage him to take advantage of other's emotions, and Omori's commentary in Foe Facts! often contains snide jokes and commentary towards the many enemies he faces. Sunny appears to additionally suffer from anxiety, and had learnt to Calm Down, Focus, and Persist in order to help him cope with his anxiety and phobias, although he has forgotten these by the time of the game's events and needs to be reminded. Notably, in battle, his Angry portrait depicts an intense amount of emotion, more than every other character's, even Omori's. This anger critically leads to an incident where, frustrated over his lack of progress with violin practice, he threw his violin down the stairs in a fit of rage, smashing it, followed shortly after by fatally shoving Mari away from him during a heated argument, something the Truth photo album describes as him "losing all sense". Sunny appears to have anger issues he has a very short temper (something as small as a fly buzzing near his ear is enough to anger him), and this anger tends to express itself through dramatic, sometimes violent outbursts.
Ĭlosely examining his behavior in both the real world and as Omori in Headspace paints a broader image of his personality. Multiple characters, most notably Basil and Aubrey, describe him as a "really good listener" and as someone who "always had time" for his friends, but also as someone who dislikes "taking the lead."īy the time OMORI begins proper, Sunny is borderline neurotic, and almost completely detached from reality, as shown through incidents such as regularly hallucinating aspects of Headspace even in reality, repeatedly having to be reminded by Kel about things as simple as not walking into the street, and showing no reservations over carrying a potentially lethal weapon around and even attacking with it, to Kel's shock. Sunny has been described as an extremely shy, but kind boy. He wears beige shorts, white socks, and black shoes.
Sunny wears a white-collared shirt with a blue vest over it.
