[b]Biography:[/b] Sunne was named after the goddess of the sun, Sunna. Her mother named her when she saw the practically glowing fuzz of white hair she had when born. Unfortunately, Sunne was to be her mother's last child, as the Thane's wife became ill shortly after giving birth to Sunne and passed. Most of Sunne's life has been imitating her brothers, while trying to be reigned in by her father who thinks of her as the last bit of his late wife. Sunne was never one to be controlled, however, and is one of Odinkar's most rebellious children. Not to mention, almost every woman in Ballara is married by age 20, and yet the thane's 19 year old daughter remains unwed. She had chosen a husband at one point around the age of 16, but he was a raider who died when invading another land. It didn't affect her terribly, but finding someone who gets the approval of her father and herself is not the easiest thing, especially when most men don't appreciate her non-domestic nature.
Sunne knew she could never compete with the men of her family with spears, so while she did learn how to use the weapon, she was eager to find the weapon that best fit her. She made friends with a local blacksmith who preferred swords and taught her the basics of fighting with two swords. Sunne flourished with the technique. Because of her impatience, she never enjoyed some things such as hunting or fishing, and while she claims to find armor annoying, it is simply because she is too weak to wear enough to matter and still be a proficient fighter. So she learned shield skills but otherwise refuses armor. 
Odinkar brought in a nannny of sorts to care for Sunne after her mother died, a slave woman who had been captured during a raid a long time ago. The woman taught Sunne basics of sewing and gardening, as well as jewelry making. She was where Sunne learned basic medical knowledge since the poor nanny was constantly chasing the white haired wild child who would always hurt herself trying to do more than she was capable of, and tried to teach her to cook though Sunne only picked up how not to burn things basically. Sunne gets along with probably half of her family; many simply find her annoying since they don't see her as ever being a threat to taking over their father's role as thane. So they focus on a rivalry with who they consider the more 'important' children of Odinkar, much to Sunne's frustration since she'd rather be hated than ignored.
