* TheIngenue: Sunny's eternal optimism and naivety cause the other Dragonets to ignore or dismiss her, which greatly annoys her to the point that she [[spoiler:decides to set out to end the war herself - prophecy or no prophecy.]]
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She victim-blames Glory for not trying to impress their bigoted guardians- as if those guardians haven't shown themselves to be completely irrational, or any child should ''need'' to earn basic affection. The weird part is that she genuinely doesn't hate Glory. She just refuses to understand that Glory's upbringing has been drastically different to her own.

* LiteralMinded: Thinks Kestrel's mention of cutting off the head of a problem means literally cutting of Tsunami's head. But given how ''The Brightest Night'' shows she knows it is practically impossible to cut off a dragon's head, it is possible she was joking but was mistaken for this due to the dragonets' expectations of her.

* MessianicArchetype: Sunny is a flawed character, but she ticks several boxes of the trope- most notably interceding with her [[spoiler:royal]], more justice-minded parent to save people who tried to kill her.

She also leads [[spoiler: Fierceteeth, Strongwings and Preyhunter]] off of her trail when she [[spoiler: steals the Obsidian Mirror]] by giving them a message threatening to kill them, which works far better than she expected due to her methods resembling the Darkstalker.

to:

* [[DelightfulDragon Delightful Dragons]]: ChildrenAreInnocent: Invoked by [[spoiler:the prophecy's manufacturers]], and later the dragonets themselves (although the setting overall subverts this trope). Many of the queens' soldiers balk at hurting children, perhaps ''because'' of their own bitterness and self-doubt.
* CulturalRebel: Their unusual upbringing gave them many beliefs- such as egalitarianism and a democratic way of resolving disputes- that normal dragons can barely comprehend. Naturally, these beliefs are vital to saving the world.

* HopeBringer: Many dragons from all of the tribes are given hope by the prophecy.

* FireForgedFriends: They grew up with no-one else around but their abusive "caretakers", so they basically ''had'' to be good to each other. The alternative was utter loneliness.

* FamedInStory: The [=NightWings=] have heard that there is ''one'' [=RainWing=] who fights back. This is a terrifying subject for them, not only because of [=RainWings=]' natural strength but because they think it means there's a dragon out there so savage that even [=RainWing=] ancestry[[note]]which ''everyone knows'' makes you pathetic[[/note]] could not suppress her bloodlust. [[MoralMyopia Of course]], the concept that "the dangerous one" might not want to fight and just be driven to it by the [=NightWings=]'s atrocities, never occurs to them.



* TheGoodQueen: Her first act as queen was to fight on the front lines, personally rescuing her imprisoned people. Her second was to save a tribe of "entitled little worms", who she would have been quite justified in killing, just because she valued life that much. Telepathic characters note that nearly all of Glory's subjects are happy with her rule, and that it inspired nearly all [=NightWings=] to be less racist.



* InternalizedCategorism: She can get addicted to sun time just like other [=RainWings=], and even has a sloth who follows her around. All of this makes her think for a while that she might really be lazy, and it's within [=RainWing=] nature to do so so she should just give up trying.

* PsychicStatic: She's very difficult to mind read, mind-read, since she suppresses her thoughts well.



* ConversationalTroping: She loves fiction's tendency to have [[BirthmarkOfDestiny odd-looking heroes]], because it makes her feel better about her own odd looks. She feels the same way about [[ChangelingFantasy fictional orphans]].



* GlorySeeker: Pun not intended. A big part of her heroics is to gain the love and respect lacking in her childhood. The fear- planted by Morrowseer- that she might look like a failure to dragons [[spoiler:who don't know the prophecy is fake]] effectively neutralizes her during book four's climax.



* GreenEyedEpiphany: Subverted. When she feels jealous of [[spoiler:Fatespeaker]] due to her crush on [[spoiler:Starflight]], she wonders if it means she might be in love with [[spoiler:Starflight]] after all, but she [[spoiler:ultimately decides that they're LikeBrotherAndSister.

** She didn't think through how her disappearance might affect people ''other'' than her family, even though she did it during a very volatile political situation. Glory came very close to ''killing'' [=NightWing=] refugees because she thought they might have been responsible for it.
