UPDATE: Added more detail to the profile rather than just copy-pasting the vague one required for the group.
So I've recently created a wholesome sunshine bean (well, actually it's an AU of my wholesome sunshine bean that's been around for years), but I'm having a problem. There's not really much else to her story beyond being a ray of sunshine in everyone's lives. I want her to grow and develop over the course of the rp I plan to use her in, so I could really use some help fleshing her out.
Sunshine strives to live up to her name, maintaining a joyful attitude no matter how hard the work or difficult the struggle. She's constantly seeking ways to bring a little joy to those around her, whether that be by having a friendly conversation, giving assistance with their work, or even hiding gifts for them to discover. She's the type to get overwhelmed by her emotions easily and break out into tears, whether it be in joy over some kindness shown to her, or sadness over some unkindness she's witnessed. However, the one emotion no one in the settlement has seen her express so far is anger. No matter how cruel a person might be, she just can't seem to get angry. Instead, she's overwhelmed with sorrow and confusion for the situation.
Sunshine seems to be inherently incapable of acting unkind to others. She's completely baffled by the mere thought of causing someone sadness. Sadness feels so terrible, why would you want to inflict that on someone?
Motivations: To spread happiness and help the community.
Passions: Supporting others, art, self-expression.
Conflicts: Willing to put her own happiness and safety at risk for the sake of others. Suppresses the emotions she feels would cause problems for others, until she can't hold it in anymore.
Flaws: Sees the good in others even when they haven't shown any, takes everything everyone says as the truth.
Redeeming Qualities: Unwaveringly kind, determination never falters, always willing to put the effort in to understand someone else.
Other Notes: Autistic
Potential Character Development: Developing into a strong community leader. Learning to express her all her emotions in a healthy way.
For context, here is the rp I plan to use her in: Multiple Settings - ꧁⊹𝙲𝚒𝚝𝚢 𝚘𝚏 𝙳𝚢𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙳𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜⊹꧂A Peaceful Post-Apocalyptic Harvest Moon-inspired RP (Discord Run)
The main thing I need help with is figuring out her motivations and goals beyond making others happy. She very much is the type of character that gets fulfillment out of spreading happiness, but it feels shallow to just leave her at that.
I need some motivations that can create conflict and struggle, as well as a way for her to grow as a person. Any suggestions appreciated!
