The Sun in the Anime

The Sun (太陽 Taiyou in Japanese), although it is not an actual character, is still a notable part of the Soul Eater world. Like the moon, it is shown to have a face and seems to exhibit various personality traits.

Location

Obviously, the Sun in the Soul Eater world is not that much different from suns in general in terms of location, appearing in the sky at daytime. However, the strange thing is that sometimes the clouds are shown to be passing behind the Sun, giving the impression that the Sun is inside the atmosphere.

Occasionally, the Sun appears in people's souls as well, like in Crona's soul.

Appearance

A large orange spiky ball, the Sun almost always has an expression of determination or anger on its face. In the anime, it is always laughing, but in the manga, it always looks like it is shouting. It has two large eyes, a long conical nose and a wide mouth set with large square white teeth. It occasionally breathes fire.

When the sun is setting, its usually intense facial expression is replaced with a very lethargic and dopey one, drooling and sniffling, as it tries to stop itself from 'sleeping' or setting, rather.

In hotter areas of the world, such as Africa or the Sahara Desert, the Sun's spikes grow longer and its expression more fierce, and it blazes up as if it is on fire, showing that the Sun has different appearances for different temperatures.

When appearing in Crona's soul, which is a sandy shore with no ocean, the Sun is seen in a similar depressed state as Crona, looking sad as it faces towards the ground, drooling.

Part in the Story and Symbolism

YEAAH! LET'S GO WILD!

The Sun, Chapter 22

Although the Sun is not an actual character, Ohkubo does give it some unofficial 'dialogue.' In contrast to the dark and sarcastic Moon, the Sun is lively and full of vigour. Whilst the Moon represents the dark antagonists' villainous deeds and schemes, the Sun seems to represent the burning passion and determination of the protagonists. It is frequently present when the protagonists are winning, fighting a battle, or about to embark on a great mission. Its occasional 'dialogue' seems to cheer or goad the protagonists onwards.
