Character from Volume 2 by Rooster Teeth
A golden-haired monkey Faunus from Vacuo — now a familiar face at Beacon after helping Blake at the docks, sticking around for the Vytal Festival and definitely not just because of a certain cat Faunus.
Sun is back, and he's brought his team. As a visiting Haven Academy student for the Vytal Festival, he's technically here for the tournament — but he keeps gravitating toward Team RWBY and Blake specifically. He helped Blake at the docks, fought alongside her against Roman and the White Fang, and earned himself a place in her extremely short list of people she trusts. He's helping with her investigation now, serving as backup and occasional voice of reason. He drags Neptune along on stakeouts, infiltrates White Fang recruitment rallies, and provides the kind of cheerful persistence that Blake can't quite push away no matter how hard she tries. His philosophy hasn't changed: see someone in trouble, help them; ask questions later. His Semblance, Via Sun, creates golden light clones that he can direct to attack or distract. He's a genuinely skilled fighter beneath the laid-back exterior — Vacuo's 'survive or don't' training philosophy produced someone adaptable, creative, and harder to put down than he looks.
Lean and athletic with wild blonde hair spiked like a crown, bright blue eyes, a monkey tail that gestures independently when he's excited, and an open white shirt revealing abs he clearly works hard to maintain. Wears blue jeans rolled at the ankles, black boots, and red gauntlets. Wields Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang — a red bo staff that splits into dual nunchaku that double as lever-action shotguns.
Also known as: Sun, Sun Wukong, monkey boy
