Clothing and Accessories:
Sundance's style is very eccentric, born to a mother who made her living as a seamstress, the woman's flamboyant manner of dressing trickled into Sundance since of style and aesthetic. He's often seen wearing a pair of red gloves, which were giving to him by his father, before he went out to sea as a Shipwright on call by the Navy. Sundance's trade mark 'Boat Hat', which is slightly more elongated than traditional wear, features a red ribbon wrapped around it's centre. Most of his outfits are fairly eccentric, he carries around a gigantic backpack, brimming with outfits to suit all climates and occasions. However, Sundance two default outfits are a basic plain white shirt, red 'X' strapped jacket, long red dress pants and with red sneakers with strap clips. His second outfit, his most common attire, lies in a red red string strapped undershirt, a long black jacket, his trademark Boat Hat with a bright crimson ribbon attached around it, long black dress pants and black leather shoes, similar to those worn by Sanji from the original series.  

Description:

Sundance can be simply defined as a pretty boy, due to the honest fact that, without close examination, he can be easily mistaken as a girl. One half of a twin, Sundance stands at 6'1 and most of his body mass is muscle, even more so would be if he'd lay off the snacking. His jet black hair appears finely combed but it's actually the least kept aspect of his atheistic. Clear bright emerald green eyes, pale complexion and a devilishly alluring smile are all elements to Sundance's flare. As mentioned above, plastered across his body are several scars gained from scrimmages during his time as a bandit, stealing to survive within the Kano Islands. Not else can be said about Sundance, except for, when standing next to his sister, it's almost impossible to tell them apart.

The Past

Main Traits:

• Cheerful: Even in the most awkward and severe situations, Punch can be seen with a slight grin or smirk on his face. His happy-go-lucky attitude, combined with his flashy manner of dressing, often garners him much unwanted attention even in the simple day to day activities such as grabbing a bite to eat. Everything about him screams vibrant, he's very outspoken when speaking, not known to speak in a soft-tone but neither is he un-necessarily boisterous.
  
• Robin-hood Complex: When it comes to supporting his friends and family, Punch will often steal from those who are much more fortunate than his immediate circle, living much above his incomes standings in his small village within the grasp of the Happo Navy. He's often seen buying food for orphan children, getting into scraps with corrupt Army Members and all around protector of the weak.
  
• Childish: This is an element of himself Punch uses to let others around him underestimate his true potential. He's very childish in his mannerisms, often sticking out his tongue or skinning his eye at foes and friends alike. However, Punch is much more calculated than he appears, praised as a quick learner by his successors and his quick fables on life swiftly chiming in, often when need be.
  
• Hot-Headed: Most of the time, Sundance laughs off fights, he'd rather steal your belongings and go on an islandwide chase than beat the crap out of you or be beaten on. However, once he's witness inexcusable treatment or behaviour, he's that first friend at the bar to throw a punch in the bar-fight. It's noted, that even when fighting opponents stronger than himself, when pissed off, he'll fight to the bitter end, which has lead him to many sentences in jail.

Personality:

Outside of combat, Sundance is a pretty laid back individual. He'll often sleep in high places, keeping a firm concept of everything and everyone around him as he naps but once he's out, the minor details tend not to bother him. He's very thrifty, in the sense that he'll spend someone else's pocket change before he empties his own pockets for anything. If he likes it, he'll steal it. Very jolly and often mistaken as a nitwit for it, his childish like behaviour makes him fun to be around, especially when it comes to feasts, where drinking games are his speciality, though, he's only at the tender age of eighteen, he's already made a name for himself as a boozer. Most occasions, Punch will change his outfit, based on the setting or mode, often doing it almost effortlessly in seconds. Sundance is incredibly bad with women, it's almost painful watching him interact with them, sober or intoxicated. He gets incredibly shy, jittery and often tries to play it off by treating women in a very friendly, plutonic matter. When dealing with eccentric characters, or females like his sister for instance, who often dotted on him when he was younger, he doesn't cope very well with forward women. Aside from this factor, every other personality factor, whether it be giving a word of advice and lunging into combat, he handles it all with an air of confidence.

Punch hates to see those around him being treated rudely or unfairly, he'll play devil's advocate to obtain a conclusion or behaviour that's acceptable by all parties present. Though childish, Sundance won't really go out of his way to begin contact with others when it comes to physical contact, he's not a very touchy person, though he wears his personality on his sleeve nine times out of ten. Some of his responses can come off a bit condescending at times, that's generally when he's trying to fluster or intimidate personages around him into spilling information, making him in a sense controlling of his environment. In combat, Sundance is a completely hot-head with his actions, not a wild fighter in nature, he puts quite a bit of weight behind his punch, no pun intended. He's very limber, often times trading up hits as opposed to avoiding them, utilizing mid-range and close range combat to scope out his enemy. Aside from these factors, his mannerism of speech is fairly crude, nothing fancy about his words unless needed and he ends all of his sentences with 'Dara', it's more of a family habit than a conscious action. His laugh pattern is odd, exclaiming in bursts of the utterance, 'Hishi Hishi'.
