Personality & Habits
Sunny Funny is a soft-spoken and patient type of person. She loves nature and nature loves her back.
Sunny's hobbies include gardening and cooking. Her main flaw is her lack of skills in the latter where her creativity is more based on her poor knowledge of food and flavors than anything else. She appears to be oblivious to this imperfection.RodneyFun Comic Collection
Sunny has stated(source needed) that she likes painting "flowers and other pretty things," though she isn't shown doing so in other media nor is her artwork shown.
PaRappa the Rapper 1
"Oh you try so hard.. Just to please this girl that you've grown fond of.." - Funny Love
In PaRappa the Rapper 1, Sunny is seen in PaRappa's friend group with Katy, PJ Berri, and PaRappa himself. Joe Chin throughout the game tries to impress her, but so does PaRappa. On the first day, they walk out of the movie theater after watching Jet Baby. When going into Chunky Burger, she orders a Chunky Garden Salad, a soda, and a lemon pie. PaRappa is caught up staring at her, thinking "Well, here I am, with the girl of my dreams, Sunny Funny.. Boy, she sure is beautiful today.." before ordering a water. Later when the Bullies show up, she yells "Stop it!" before Joe Chin walks in and knocks the Bullies out by talking.
The next day, when everyone agrees to go to the beach, Joe Chin drives to them and shows off his Super Stretched Limo 900 in an attempt to impress Sunny. This inspires PaRappa to get a license of his own. The group then starts driving, and PaRappa dreams about going on a romantic date with Sunny and almost kissing her before getting hit by the oncoming truck, destroying his Dad's car. By working in Fleaswallow's flea market, he pays off the car. The next day, Katy, PaRappa, and PJ plan for Sunny's birthday. PaRappa almost picks a very expensive cake for her, but eventually chooses a nice flower cake. Joe Chin shows up, however, and shows him his 42-floor cake, before knocking him over, ruining PaRappa's cake. PaRappa then chooses to make a seafood cake, decorated just for Sunny.
At her birthday party, Katy gets PJ away to leave Sunny and PaRappa alone to watch the sunset together. PaRappa, though, ate too much cake at the party. Sunny sees his manly face, and is impressed. Throughout the cutscene, she's blushing with heart eyes at him. She even asks him to drive her home. PaRappa stops to go to the bathroom in All Master's Rap. In the Good mode ending of this stage, Sunny is awake and says he's the same old PaRappa again. However, in the Cool mode of this stage, Sunny has her eyes closed instead. Her theme song, Lovely Sunny Funny, plays here too.
In I Gotta Believe's cutscene, while Funny Love is playing, we see PaRappa inviting her to the party. We see her room while she gets ready, showing that she has multiple of the same dress hanging up. General Potter greets PaRappa when he shows up to drive her to the dance, and PaRappa promises not to be late, before finally going with Sunny to Club Fun. When they get in, PaRappa and Sunny are separated by the Bullies and Joe Chin notably. PaRappa gets on stage and begins his final rap of the game.
At the end of PaRappa's Live Rap with MC King Kong Mushi, it is confirmed that Sunny starts dating PaRappa after it ends. If you beat the stage in Cool mode, PaRappa says, "Alright, alright! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Thank you so much! This was all made possible cause I never gave up, and I always believed in my lovely Sunny Funny! Yeah, Thank you!" After this, Sunny lets out a giggle at his words. According to the PaRappa 2 guidebook, General Potter calls PaRappa Sunny's "boifurendo."
After beating all stages in Cool Mode, you unlock a secret mode called the Katy & Sunny Funny Band. You rotate the camera around the center stage as Katy and Sunny dance. You can switch between 3 outfits for the two.
Um Jammer Lammy
She doesn't have as much as a big role in this game. Sunny agrees to help with MilkCan's new performance, and she makes a dress for it. She also joins PaRappa and PJ in PaRappa's garage, to suggest that the stage PJ is suggesting to be a little more girl-like.
PaRappa the Rapper 2
"Everything's alright.. Now that we have each other.. Together and forever.." - Come A Long Way
In PaRappa the Rapper 2, PaRappa wins a coupon at a burger shop and gets a lifetime supply of noodles. He says "The only thing that gets me going is the lovely Sunny Funny, and her sweet smile. Boy, I'd do anything for her.."
After this, Sunny puts the food on the table, consisting of nothing but noodles. Sunny calls PaRappa a baby when he can't eat the noodles, so PaRappa runs out with PJ tailing behind. In Stage 8's cutscene, we see how Sunny ran after PaRappa after what she said, but then saw him going to the burger shop instead. She then started watching Romantic Karate, before seeing PaRappa during Stage 3 when he becomes big with Guru Ant. After this, she watches PaRappa as he trains in Stage 4. At Stage 5, she almost had her hair turned into an afro by Takoyama, but this was stopped by PaRappa.
When PaRappa stops Colonel Noodle, and walks out, she's seen holding an afro magazine. Then, Colonel Noodle gives them all the reservation for a party at Club Fun. Before PaRappa goes up, he speaks to her. "Hey, Sunny. I've tried so many things to try and grow up, but I don't think I really did. So for today's show, I'm just going to do what I always do." Sunny responds with her own advice. "Don't be silly, PaRappa. You're man enough already. If you keep trying and never give up, you're already a grown up."
Design
Sunny is a humanized flower with pink and red petals. She has a human-like nose and large oval eyes. Her horizontally-striped dress is red and blue colored, and her shoes are dark green. She has 6 pink petals, and 7 red thorns around her head.
In PaRappa the Rapper 1's Katy & Sunny Funny Band, she wears 3 outfits, a purple flowery dress, her orange and red dress, and a triangle-spotted dress. Strangely, her blue and red dress isn't in this mode.
Trivia
- If you take into account that PaRappa's birthday is December 6th, (the release date of the first game in Japan) then Sunny's birthday is (probably) December 10th, because 4 days pass between the opening and her birthday in game.
- She does in fact have a mom. She's seen with General Potter in official Rodney Greenblatt art.
- There's a secret cutscene you can watch in PaRappa the Rapper 2. By waiting on the title screen for 3 minutes (After beating the game on Yellow Hat mode,) you can watch a video of Sunny singing her song, Come A Long Way in full. This cutscene shows PaRappa and Sunny's relationship is much stronger after the events of the game.
- In PaRappa the Rapper 1, she's known to have an orange and red dress, and 7 petals. However, there are many instances in the game where she has the normal 6 petals, (one instance being her photo in PaRappa's room) and the blue and red dress.
