-Another lovely creepy possibility is that Summer is Salem, that Salem is a malevolent spirit in need of a body, and Summer's one would do with a few slight modifications.

-She may genuinely have more important things to think about than her daughter. -Mmm...I have a bit of a hard time imagining Salem as a literal evil spirit. Though I do have a similar idea; that she's a parasite Grimm that can take over the bodies of their hosts, and possibly gaining their knowledge along with it. Perhaps even being capable of using Aura that way.

Though in my idea, her current host would not necesarily be Summer. (And a related idea is that Salem is not the entity, but the name of her current host).

-She....ditched her daughter and lover shortly after Yang was born, and remained incomunicated with them for more than a decade. And she also said she wouldn't save Yang again. She hasn't sent any messages, or even given any signs of her existence.

Sounds more like she just doesn't care, to me.
