Back-Personality-Description: Sunny has a strong personality in both senses of the word--her personality and her thoughts are strong and she doesn't hold them back, but she's also a strong person. She's been through hell with her ex, and she's determined not to let it stop her from living her best life or being the best mother she can be. Her son Austin means the world to her, and she'd do literally anything to make sure he's well cared for.
Habits/Hobbies: motorcycle rides, walking her 3 dogs, 'bothering' the mechanics down at the shop, taking her son to the park
"So far pull up in the getaway car
I'm ready to go, ready to start things over
Trying not to live in the past." -Background-History: Sunshine Dawn Lewis was the only daughter born to Jane and Brent Lewis, a pair of flower children who wanted their child to be as bright as the sun. What they wound up was a child desperate for strength, adventure, and independence. She wasn't afraid of hard work on the farm, but she was constantly covered in cuts and bruises from her various feats and adventures on her parents' land. Where her parents are all for nonviolent protest, Sunny has always been getting herself into trouble by taking action. That's actually how she met her ex--he pulled her off of a guy she'd been trying to beat into next Tuesday. The thing was, she'd attacked the guy because he wouldn't stop beating his dog; once he heard what was going on, Antonio helped her call the police and take the dog to a vet, and the rest was history.
They were married a year later, and Sunny wound up pregnant with a baby boy. She was thrilled, and while Antonio wasn't as happy as she was, she figured it was because he was nervous about being a parent. It was a big deal, after all. She was working at a Pitbull rescue at the time, and he was working full time as a real estate agent. He started being out later and later, until finally he broke things off and asked for a divorce. She confronted him about why, and he admitted he'd been seeing someone else and that they were "in love."
Sunny left him, got full custody of her baby and her dog, and has been raising Austin in Xander's Cross ever since. She specifically looked for a place that was far enough from Antonio that she'd never run into him, but close enough she could still take Austin to visit his grandparents on the farm. She now runs the Xander's Cross Animal Shelter after its previous owner moved to Florida to retire.
