Suntop

Suntop is a fictional character originally created by Wendy and Richard Pini. He is a prominent character in the Elfquest comic book series. Suntop is a member of a fictional tribe of elves calling themselves the Wolfriders.

History:
Suntop's character is actually a fraternal twin. He was born to Cutter, chief of the Wolfriders, and to Leetah, the healer of the Sorrow's End Sun Folk. His twin sister's name is Ember. Suntop and Ember were conceived with the assistance of the soul-linking bond known as Recognition. Suntop and Ember were also the first known set of twins to be born to either tribe of elves.

Suntop lived the first five years of his life among the elves of Sorrow's End in their desert village. Suntop and Ember both drew different characteristics to themselves while in the womb. Ember, according to her mother, attracted the wolf blood of her father's people, the Wolfriders. Suntop attracted his mother's magic talents.

Special Characteristics:
Suntop is dark-skinned like his mother, Leetah, but has golden blond hair, likely inherited from his paternal grandmother, the Wolfrider Joyleaf.

Powers and Abilities:
Suntop has the ability to send, or communicate telepathically with other elves. He also has the rarer talent of astral projection and can send his soul traveling miles from his body, even to communicate with other elves' spirits. He used this talent to help rescue the soul of Savah, Sorrow's End's Mother of Memory. Savah had journeyed beyond the reaches of the Sun Village and encountered Winnowill by accident, subsequently becoming trapped. (Captives of Blue Mountain) Suntop also manifests something he calls his "magic feeling," which allows him to sense when elves are using magical abilities.
