Sunna

To do: Bright Sight 03/25/24
Skin/accent that matches with Mani

Sunna is the more energetic and outgoing twin to Mani and wields lances. Her eyes never close unless she's sleeping, and her constant stare is described as doll-like and unsettling. She is nonverbal and communicates via telepathic images that sometimes repeat simple words. The telepathy becomes more elaborate, forming sentences or even vivid pictures, the closer she is to whoever she communicates with.

Backstory
Sunna and Mani are twins who look just as adorable and sweet as the rest of their siblings. They were just as nimble, just as playful, just as curious. But the one thing they couldn't do like their siblings was speak. In fact, they were so eerily quiet that Sky gave them extra attention as they were growing up. Their father was busy with kingly duties, often not visiting his children for months at a time. Spence was extra busy as the royal advisor and keeping tabs on Hrid in general (Spence doesn't trust anybody, especially not the father of his many nieces and nephews), so it was up to Mom to figure things out.

Noticing her twin daughters would not make a single peep, Sky was absolutely stumped on how to raise them. How she was going to teach them. They could hear her (they responded to her voice just fine), but did they understand her, or any of their siblings?

Hermod plays with his younger twin sisters just fine, despite the apparent language barrier. Frija is extra gentle and patient with them, even when they get up to some mischief. Vilmund, the blunt one, appears to understand them perfectly! They are always in sync. The bad news is Vilmund has no idea how to explain this communication to his mother in a way that is both understandable and not insulting her intelligence, so he keeps his mouth shut.

Every time Sky interacted with one of her twins, pictures kept popping into her mind. Not of her own volition, but the images burned into her brain still communicated ideas and would not go away, often resulting in headaches. Sky didn't understand why being with her twins caused literal headaches, until one day one of these images kept repeating a sound: "Mom, Mom!

And that's when she finally got it.

"Hold on," Sky tried to interrupt these projected thoughts. These images burning into her mind weren't her ideas, they were her twins'! Her daughters have been communicating to her all this time, telepathically.
