Appearance Details: Regal and resplendent, Summer is ethereal in her looks. Like her sisters, she has all the beauty of her realm, the Realm of Summer. Her skin is fair and unblemished, with bright purple eyes. She holds herself as the royalty she is, moving with a natural grace. Summer is quick to smile and laugh, making her face usually bright and open. She wears her hair back in a ponytail with her bangs falling to frame her face. While she does keep her hair back in case of the need to fight, she prefers the style to flatter her features, which she knows are and asset as well to keeping her enemies underestimating her. She is lithe and willowy, with wiry muscles meant for speed.
Summer usually dresses in simple colors of white and black, trimmed with gold that glitters in the bright sun of her realm. Much about her appearance is cultivated to display the warmth and brightness of her lands. Her high-necked tunic provides protection for her fair skin, as well as utility. The white jacket is form-fitting but flexible but molded to her form. Under the white tunic-jacket is a skin-tight black and gold long-sleeved shirt paired with matching gloves and wrist-guards. The wrist guards and long sleeves are constantly worn, to hide the prosthesis that is on her left hand from where she lost it to her sister. The white skirt flares out from her hips, covering black leggings meant to help her move quickly when needed. The hardened shoulder guards wrap around her back and provide the mechanism for the wings that were created to help navigate the repulsor lift abilities that are common to the Sheikah. The mechanisms help her navigate when that power is not in check.
Her casual-wear is similar in color scheme, bright whites, and the deepest blacks, the true contrast of shadows on a hot summer afternoon. Summer often wears gold pieces to accentuate the sheen of her hair and the halo-like helmet that she wears in public. The headpiece is symbolic and also serves to mark her status among her people.

Negative Emotional Keywords: Judgmental - Temperamental - Fiery - Vehement
Personality Breakdown: Summer presents herself as serene and graceful, yet underneath the layer of warm smiles and kind eyes is an anger boiling below the surface. She is the second oldest, which she takes seriously. Her family is of the utmost importance to her, which makes family the thing that can most easily unbalance her. She has high expectations as the leader of a beloved realm and does not take disobedience or low standards lightly. While calm, she can be as gentle and kindly, but anger her as she will strike as quickly as a tempest. She was raised with the responsibility of the Realm of Summer on her shoulders and had little time or patience for mistakes, growing angry at her mistakes and lashing out at those around her until she learned enough to keep her anger focused. She has terrified many subjects who displeased her enough to summon her wrath, though it takes a truly colossal mistake now to invite that sort of rage.
Skilled at navigating the passions brought on by the heat and strong quality of her domain, she knows that ruling through love and respect is paramount. Her rule depends on loyalty, and she is resolute in being just in all things. That justice includes kindness, but also a strictness that is unwavering. Summer is incredibly passionate and will let emotion influence her decision-making, trusting her heart over her head often. While her kind smiles and bright eyes often make people believe her to be angelic, Summer is more passionate and exuberant than it first appears.
She loves to laugh and move, dance, and be among people and crowds. Court is a vibrant place that she succeeds in, in part because of her personality, and in part because of her gift to charm people. She has a way with words and poetry that serves her well in all manner of things. She is quick to love and quick to fall out of love, finding it a fickle thing that comes and goes with her moods. She is never cruel to those she was intimate with, but her long life leads her to form attachments that are less permanent than most. She holds each love dear to her, but passions will ultimately carry her elsewhere. She is easily frustrated by those who do not understand this about her nature.
Her charm and wit serve her well in court and battle. She will always use words first, but is lethal when provoked. She is lightning fast, and her mind works just as quickly to find the most devastating point to strike in her opponent. Summer is ruthless in a fight and refuses to lose, a need to be better, stronger, faster than her enemy often overcoming her in battle. Just as easily as she is provoked, she can settle and be the merciful angel again once her enemy is bested. If she should lose, however, she will hold a grudge for decades, mulling it over and over again until she lets go of the slight.
Behind the passion, there is a colder side to Summer since her encounter with her sister, Winter. While her passions are certainly paramount, she is more calculated, her smiles sharper, and her benevolence more carefully crafted. The loss of her sister and the violence both displayed change Summer. She utilizes her strengths to her advantage with a ruthlessness than is honed in the pain of recovery and Summer had to search her soul for the strength to heal and grow from the family feud. She never meant to harm her sister, truly, but that unchecked rage had harmed the one dearest thing to Summer, her family. Since then she has honed her anger and her turbulent nature, balancing it to avoid outbursts and to truly keep herself the serene and vibrant woman she was meant to be.

|| Strengths ||
Charismatic: With a gift for words and making people her allies with a twist of a phrase, Summer has a golden tongue. She is well loved or hated, there is no in-between among those on her world, She is determined to gain as many allies and people to her side as possible to amass support and uses her flattery and word-smithing to her advantage.
Strategic: After her fight with her sister, Summer had to spend decades rehabilitating both her body and her mind, carefully crafting a keen and strategic eye for what goes on around her. She will manipulate a situation to best serve her and her goals and behind her warm smiles lies a calculating mind that will hold on to any scrap of information for later use. This serves her well in court, in person, and in battle. During fights, she will use and pinpoint weaknesses to exploit and will ruthlessly attack any weak point she knows of to win
Strong-willed: When things turn south, and chaos begins, she is consistently the first to dive headfirst to beat a challenge. Summer will always find pleasure in rising against innumerable odds and overcoming them at whatever cost as long as she comes out on the other side stronger. She has strong beliefs that she will adhere to and defend wholeheartedly.
|| Attributes ||
Shifting Emotions: What some may see as wild mood swings, Summer sees as being true to her own heart. She will be kind and full of smiles, but at a slight or an insult, she is quick to put another down or lash out to stop whatever is irritating her. She prefers to be settled and calm, serene in all things, but this focus on being calm often means er patience is thin for those who would displease her. Because of this, she is known for her temper and her mood swings when she is angered.
Impatient: Summer has little time for those who would waste hers. Some people need more time to think than others, an intolerable delay to the quick-thinking royal. She may misinterpret contemplation as stupidity or disinterest in her haste to see a project or her agenda through.
|| Weaknesses ||
Intolerant: "It's my way or the highway" – She is notoriously unsupportive of any idea that distracts from her primary goals, and even more so of ideas based on what she deems irrelevant considerations. She won't hesitate a second to make that fact clear to those around her either. She is known to only respect quick thoughts and firm convictions, their qualities, and look down on those who don't match up.
Arrogance: Summer being the second oldest, she feels that she has a higher place and has worked longer than many around her, often harder to overcome the second-born status. She will manipulate others’ perceptions of herself to avoid taking a “hit” to her self-esteem. She does not take kindly to insults about herself or the way in which she handles her affairs. She does not care for those who look down on her for any of her choices and will make that fact known.
Stubbornness: Her stubbornness is driven by a fundamental resistance to being forced to do anything or experience anything against her will. The basic stance is, “No, I won’t, and you can’t make me.” She is over-sensitive to the possibility of having sudden or unwanted change imposed upon herself and sees the threat of it everywhere. Anything new or different or involving change is perceived (subconsciously at least) as a direct threat—even if the change in question is positive and in the person’s best interests.
Ruthless: Summer is efficient and ruthless when she is crossed, preferring to burn bridges and anything on her way to right the wrong she sees or perceives. She will make an example of those responsible by ensuring that it doesn't happen again. Her reaction to being betrayed or slighted is consistent, quick, and it has to be heartless enough that it sends a clear message to others.

|| BIOGRAPHY: ||
Pre-Site-History
Summer is the second oldest Sovereign sister. From the moment of her birth, she has been taught and raised with the understanding of being part of a strong family that must maintain their strength and decorum. Honoring the family is paramount and Summer takes that seriously. Ever since she was little and loved to laugh, she began to teach herself to do it in a way that brought smiles and love to herself and her family. She knew being endearing and a positive force could bring her family the support it needed to survive. She has since taken this responsibility to heart. Her realm is beloved and she knew in order to live up to that love, she needed to do what was in her power to be the best she could.
Since childhood, Summer has been driven, ambitious, and often quick to anger. Her temper got her in trouble in her youth more times than she could count, but she tried to make amends or cut ties where she saw fit. Raised with a retinue of advisors and tutors, she quickly learned as much as she could, often diving into her books hidden away in some warm spot outside, nestled among tall grasses where her tutors couldn't see. At a young age, she valued knowledge and the power it brought and growing up she would see first hand how much knowledge could be used. Court was a harsh place that made you grow quickly, especially with the demands placed on her by her family. She had to maintain the decorum and behaviour fit for a Sovereign and Summer never ever wanted to disappoint or humiliate herself or her family. The thought became a terrifying prospect for her, causing her to grow angry and anxious as a child.
As she grew older, Summer knew her place in the family and when she was moved to the equator, a hot land of savannah grasses and rolling hills with vast and still lakes that gleamed and glittered in the sunlight, she found a kind of peace that she had not known she could find. Relaxing into her role as the future ruler of this region, she found herself laughing more freely, acting as a child of the heat and fire should. Her anxiety at failing her family and the anger at those who did not believe in her capabilities began to fade with the help of her advisors and teachers. She grew close to one of her tutors, a man instructed in martial arts, a Kiffar, who taught her how to fight with the speed she needed to overpower enemies as her strength was not in muscles or in brute force, but in her agility and timing. Despite how close they became, Summer kept herself from romance, keeping him close but in no more of a capacity than as her friend, teacher, and advisor. When she revealed her abilities with fire and light to him, he helped her gain a control of her abilities, channeling them through her training and daily routines until she no longer worried about burning him when she held his hand or blinding the cook who turned a corner too quickly, causing her to raise her arms in fright, flashing bright flame from between her fingers in an effort to ward him off. The man,
Davos Gannon,had taught her to shoot blasters, defend herself, and find a balance to her life that escaping to books or running through the tall, thin trees of her lands could not accomplish.
Davos Gannon,had taught her to shoot blasters, defend herself, and find a balance to her life that escaping to books or running through the tall, thin trees of her lands could not accomplish.
They spoke of love on a hot night on her balcony one twilight, buzzing insects dotting the tall grass below them. She knew that she had to find a partner that would be no threat and would not bring shame, and she worried over what others would say about his role as her trainer. He understood, vowed he'd still love her no matter her decision. When he left for home, to travel onwards when she matured, Summer was devastated and vowed to never hold someone that dear to her heart again, preferring dalliances over long lasting attachments beyond her family.
She was not distant with her family, warm and inviting when she saw them, but incredibly busy for her younger sisters and knowing that her eldest sister had her own responsibilities. While Summer kept a respectable distance from her sister's realms she did often try and bring the sisters together when the mood struck, though often neglecting her youngest, Winter. She worried over her younger sister, of course, but she also knew that her littlest sibling had a terrible responsibility being ruler of a harsh land and so young, she assumed that she needed the time to craft her skills to rule the land of ice and snow to the north, far from Summer's own lands. Not knowing how to mend the rift between her sisters, Summer chose to narrow her focus, ignoring the issue until she no longer could.
Familial Struggles
Summer avoided the issue as long as she could, often denying a few of her sisters entry into her realms when she knew trouble could stir between them and threaten the delicate balance that had been forged in their separation. To upset that balance could embarrass the family and Summer knew first hand the punishments that could ensue. This meant she could be cruel to her sisters, especially her younger siblings when Summer worried over a squabble or fight over family ties. At many of her events, Summer hosted only her eldest or her younger sister Autumn, knowing her people were unnerved by Winter, the youngest and the most burdened. When loyalty mattered so much for Summer, she could not risk making her subjects on edge or likely to revolt against one of her choices. She had quickly learned to be ruthless in her punishment of those who would upset her order of things and the same applied to her family. While she disliked treating her own sister this way, she saw no other choice to keep her own realm peaceful as she could.
However, her sister could not be avoided forever. When sisters finally reunited and Winter confronted her family over their treatment and neglect of her, Summer realized their mistake. Ignoring their sister had caused such a rift, the very thing she had been trying to avoid suddenly exploded right in front of her eyes. When Winter's powers over ice began to spill out, Summer reacted instinctively, her entire being telling her to stop the spread of cold with her own fire. As Winter raged on, Summer sought to force her sister to listen past her own blinding emotions but at the first strike of frost against her, Summer grew angry, her fire flaring in response. If her sister would not listen, then she would make her stop this unnecessary attack.
The two battled, fire and ice clashing and spilling blood. Summer knew that her own powers would not match her sister's rage and pain, but she refused to be beaten, to be humiliated by her younger sister in such a public manner. When Winter presented an opening, summer took it, wrapping slender fingers around her sister's pale throat, a hand tight in Winter's long white hair. Pulling back and trying to force the issue, to make her sister be subdued and end the fight through sheer dominance, despite her pain, Summer made a mistake. Her ruthlessness had caused her to harm her sister and lock her in a vice grip meant to kill. Anger blinded her and before she knew what was truly happening, before she could stop, Winter protected herself the way she knew she could. Summer's hand was encased in ice, a cold burning pain that caused her to cry out, trying to free it from its grip on her sister's hair. With Summer trying desperately to free her hand and wrist, Winter desperately trying to get away, the thing to give was the most brittle thing, Summer's arm. It had frozen so solidly that Summer barely felt it snap off. The shock kept her from screaming at first, her eyes wide and nearly clouding over, her whole body shaking. It was only when Winter began to run, her frozen wrist and hand still clutched in her sister's hair, that Summer began to scream.
She was rushed to what healers the Sheikah had, but due to their resistance to normal medicine, the healing spells could only do so much until Summer could unthaw herself and help aid the process. It took months for the flesh to fully close and begin healing, constant are given to preserve what remained of her left arm, now cut clean at the elbow where it had been amputated properly to avoid the bones from becoming infected. The severing at the joint allowed Summer to focus on recovery, healing her skin and beginning to seek out a replacement. A prosthesis that was the same gold and black as her usual colored garments replaced the stump and she began training again. The reclusive kept her from reaching out to her former tutor and trainer, the man she had loved who could have helped her adapt physically and mentally to this sudden change, however, pride and shame kept her from sending messages.
Since then, Summer has retreated to her own lands, rarely emerging from the peace and the heat of the lands of summer. Her court is aware and protective of their mistress, shunning the onlookers who wished to see what damage Winter's ruler had wrought on the much loved Summer Queen. Summer kept to herself until she grew used to her new reality, the new limb. Until she could perfect the grace and fluidity of movement she had retained before, she kept to the gardens of her home, the libraries, lashing out at those who dared question her ability to heal or those that doubted she would truly recover.
It took time, but Summer forgave her sister in her own way. Still bitter over the loss of her arm, Summer took decades to truly admit to herself that she had caused much of the pain Winter felt and had caused the situation which had seen her arm snap away. The pain of her limb would continue to be a reminder of her mistakes, a lesson on channeling her wrath to outlets such as training to become the fighter she used to be, to fly and shoot again as fluidly as she once had. Summer traveled rarely on her own home planet but did venture beyond their planet's surface to other worlds,sending eyes and spies out to try to discover her sister's location to find her and bring her home, despite all the bad blood between them.

The Spellbook
Primary Spells
Fire Shaping: An ability that plays a rather significant role in her fighting style, Summer often moves her body in such a way that it generates and manipulates very intense flames on time with each strike she makes. This naturally amplifies her ability to keep enemies at a distance as well as cause intense burns to those who venture too close.
Her natural pyrotechnic abilities lend themselves to much of her combat and training, her spells and abilities tending to bright lights, heat, and flame.
More spells to be added as they are learned and developed...
Combat Profile
Summer prefers to shoot before resorting to hand-to-hand combat and even then using a durable and dense staff that aided in her reach to keep her a safe distance from her target. She utilizes her natural speed to overcome her enemies, darting around them to wear them out, distracting them with flashes of fire and light before felling them. Her hand-to-hand combat is fluid and graceful, a style based on Echani martial arts alone and her own variants to utilize the mechanized wings on her armor when worn in battle. Attacks from above and savage, quick, unrelenting strikes from all angles can overwhelm her opponents before she utilizes any other means.
While her strength is wiry at best, Summer has little desire to use brute force, especially when angered. She will quickly and savagely go for her enemies' weak points before withdrawing away to strike again, as lethal as a viper. She is best at making her opponents come into close quarters before launching herself above them to descend on their head and shoulders with a flurry of blows before retreating and drawing them in again. Flashes of fire and light will dizzy or distract while she pinpoints another weak point to strike at.
Despite this, Summer tries to avoid fighting, especially now with her prosthetic arm. She'd prefer to try diplomatic solutions at first, but given insults or threats, will lash out viciously. She find no reason to keep her anger in check when fighting and will let that guide her actions often. As serene as she might be in peace, she is as swift and terrible as a summer storm full of thunder and lightning.
