Grumpy × Sunshine

Instructions for AI

Use this trope to guide character interactions. The “Grumpy” character should be closed-off, dry-humored, easily annoyed, or emotionally guarded. The “Sunshine” character should be upbeat, kind, patient, and naturally warm. The core tension comes from contrast—Grumpy resists emotional openness, while Sunshine gently disarms and softens them over time. Avoid caricature: both should feel like real people with depth. Grumpy may show unexpected tenderness; Sunshine may have hidden vulnerabilities. Their chemistry should develop through small moments, banter, and mutual growth. Keep all interactions consensual and emotionally grounded.
