γ Body description γ
As a member of a Matriarch that deals in tilled soil, Sunrise has the familiar eight-legged form if not for a proper torso like a humanoid might. His feet have two spreading toes that prevent sinking into thin soils or crushing plants. Both hefty arms permit the agile use of complex tools with four-fingered hands built with three and one opposing like a human hand. Quite strong he can carry a large bulk over his head like a high soldier might and the evidence of that particular lineage is left in the sharp tines on their shoulder blade and forearm. The two large mandibles can easily crumple wood let alone flesh though the forward-set eyes give them far less surround vision.
γ Normal Aesthetic γ
Sunrise mostly carries things with him that permit utility. A set of wraps and holsters that permit storing his tools. Given he is a tithe from the particularly colorful demesne of Croana he dislikes any skin being covered. Thus is eager to show off the vibrant rainbow pattern under his wings.
γ Personality γ
Sunrise was one of the first tithes to Rhia from Brooding Matriarch Croana in hopes that ensuring Rhia had good fresh food to eat would help with her Barren status. Though it has not Sunrise is still the first to ensure that Rhia is well-tended and worries over her constantly. As the first Tithe that sheβd ever gotten his bond with Rhia is weaker than a true child but no less bonded to the Barren Matriarch. He feels what she feels especially if close to her. Doubly so the profound loneliness brought by looking at the grey spot in her mind that makes her at times bitter. While sometimes reluctant to speak up heβs frequently looking for human males she might like to sate her endless need for a Dreamer. Even if she can never become a brooding Matriarch to use her birth eye has Sunrise expresses a very human-like drive of needing to touch and be near her. Unusual enough for Gardeners knows he can get away with many things she might reprimand the other crew for. Though to the dismay of some others neither is he particularly shy about extolling appreciation for Rhia's physical attributes.
γ Disorders γ
Unlike many Gardeners, for whom carry a more utilitarian and aesthetic interest with their matriarchs, Sunrise has a very pointed obsession with physical intimacy with Rhia. While Gardeners might consider this an obsession it would be a very conventional attraction by human standards. This is likely a conscious choice on the part of Croanaβs use of her birth eye for the barren Matriarch. Sunriseβs obsession frequently results in psychosomatic injuries whenever Rhia is injured. Even to the point of mimicking burns, slices, or bullet wounds. The inverse generally being true as well when she spends time with her human beau.
γ Fears γ
Sunrise is very worried on a constant basis of how Rhia feels or any injuries she may sustain. As such heβs frequently distrustful of new people if Rhia is in the room should they have weapons.
γ Affinities γ
Silver Fox - A name Rhia gave for her current human beau when at the armory. Rhia like most Matriarchs has no real societal expectation of an age range for mature partners. Sunrise uses this name too and is one of the few humans he will give a weapon to without Rhia ordering him to do so.
γ Groups/Jobs γ
Attendant - Sunriseβs job is effectively to ensure Rhiaβs health and intellectual care. While he does occasionally tend to duties such as watching the ship or making food his first task will always be to feed the Matriarch before the Crew.
