Personal Style: Sunshine always gives off the impression that it's springtime or that she's heading off to some sort of summer camp. She wears shorts practically year round - it is partially a fashion choice, but also due to the fact that she just doesn't have other things on her. Sometimes she'll wear thick leggings or tights to offset the cold. Her hair is pretty much either braided or loose, with a baseball cap to more or less keep her looking presentable. She likes soft colors and fabrics.

Creative * Vain * Strong * Vengeful * Charming * Stubborn
Sexuality: Pansexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Sunshine is not the happy go lucky personality type that most would expect from her name. Instead, most people would likely describe her as a charming yet vindictive bitch. She's the type of person that can sing your praises in one moment, but her mood can change suddenly and she'll grab your prized vase and throw it against the wall. She will consider the consequences of her actions, but she won't regret what she's done. Vengeance is needed in order to survive and if someone wrongs her, she wants to make sure that they'll rue the day.
On a more positive note, Sunshine can be very sweet and charming, kind even. She is incredibly creative and enjoys most forms of the arts, and tends to be a bit of a natural at all of them. She can flatter someone into doing what she wishes, but also has the strength needed to help keep a group together. Sure, she is haughty and thinks highly of herself, but she is able to be there when it counts and can see the bigger picture.

History
How did you discover your powers: Although they day changed her life, Electra still cannot remember what the argument had been about. She had been at the park, playing with some of the kids that lived in the neighborhood, when Connor pushed her off of the play structure. She hit the ground and scuffed up her knees, but she was mad. The little girl got up, yelling at him in Greek, and she scooped up some bark to throw at him. But when she threw the bark, it was surrounded by what looked like green smoke and when it touched Connor, he came down with an instant case of hay fever.
General History: Electra's father was from Greece and met her mother at an art gallery in New York City. That's the extent of what she knows about him, as he left before she was born and never returned. Her mother's new boyfriend was present for the birth and Electra ended up with his surname by a mistake on the nurse's part that was never corrected. Her life was relatively simple and happy, yet her powers emerged at a young age and her mother kicked her out of the apartment. A few days later, her mother had left the city entirely, leaving a 6 year old Electra alone to fend for herself on the streets.
She lived with a few other abandoned kids and they called her Sunshine, due to her gleaming golden hair. It wasn't a nickname due to a sunny disposition or anything like that. Most of the other kids were mutants and they banded together, scavenging for food and stealing what they needed to get by. None of them wanted to go into the system - nothing good happened to mutant kids there. Sure, a few of them talked about trying to go to Xavier's Institute or a mutant friendly school, but there was no guarantee that they could all stay together. They were a family.
However, they couldn't stay in New York forever. After the Incident when aliens came down and razed the city, it wasn't safe anymore for them. The small little family hitchhiked out of town and moved south, eventually ending up in Washington D.C. The older kids started getting jobs, somehow managing for a few months to get a tiny studio apartment for them all to live in. Those years in the apartment were the happiest in Sunshine's life. And also the most traumatic.
A little under a year after they moved in, Purifiers realized that the apartment complex was friendly to mutant and tried to flush out the occupants by burning it to the ground. They lost everything. Police incorrectly blamed the mutants tenants for the fire and they were taken away to a mutant detainment facility. Sunshine spent the next year of her life behind bars, released largely only because she was a minor - and her friends, the adults, are still in the Mutant Super Max.
She's been alone and struggling to get by in the Washington D.C. area ever since.
