I think that Syalis is wrong about Dawner being a “sun”.
I actually think he’s a moon that either learned or was pushed to become a sun.
Those terms a pretty hard to define, but from how it’s written at least Dawner seems more like a moon the longer he is away from the princess.
Im going to try and define what i think those terms mean, because if i don’t my heads going to spin.
There are a few similarity with between them. Like loyalty, almost inhuman determination. These are both because of well the sun and moon will aways follow after each other no matter what. Like a moon for example being Renee, was very determined.
However a sun is suppose to be naturally confident, Dawner states himself that he was nervous so to fix that he started acting like Syalis. It really makes you wonder how he might act if he never met her.
There is also something to be said for the fact that he has a lot of other traits associated with the moon. He is stated to be a really good student, even a fucking valedictorian.
Another trait is he got pretty good intuition. Read 238, you will see what I mean.
And he is, I’m trying to be nice here. Way nicer to people than the princess. She in the beginning was very much using the people around her for fun. There is no question of that.
Even with him be chaotic he is not meaning to be hurtful. He’s just being clumsy, but really the only person he would get in conflict with was her. Because I think he might have been trying to impress her, but just kinda messed that up.
She like harsh sun light is just hurting people by cause they are in her vicinity. That’s just how she is. If she wants something she will get it even if it means someone dies. But we do love her for that.
Dawner at first seems to act like that, but the more we have gotten to see him as himself. Meets a teddy demon he didn’t have to save. Him going to go get Kisho a nice sword. (Also can we have more interactions and those two’s history like please) He has far more empathy than the princess is. The moon after all reflects the light of the sun, he is just acting as a mirror.
I really do hope at some point if we see, maybe he is not as brave or maybe more accurately he not as confident as he seems.
So why him and his party acted confrontational in the begain was him acting so much like her. To compensate, but as he has traveled he has started to act more like himself. Maybe have the duty of saving the princess weighted a lot on him, and I don’t know being thrust into a war made him a bit insecure about himself.
