User blog comment:Zathronas/Speculative author: Who is Summer Rose?/@comment-5217560-20140809062848

I, for one don't believe Cinder knew Summer. Or if they were in similar circumstances they didn't become friends or anything. If they did say, go to beacon together, I would imagine Cinder harboring animosity towards summer for some reason. Why? *shrugs* summer could have been a star pupil (or on thr flip side of that, a klutz like Ruby, but a magnet for people which may have caused Cinder to be jealous). Anyway, moving away from that, I think Summer was a caring mother, who probably shared the same characteristics as Ruby, albeit with far more wisdom and maturity. She may have been neglectful of ruby due to her duty as a huntress oor better yet she wasn't, and gave her love to Ruby whenever she could,  but Ruby may have always feared of losing her because of the dangerous job of being a huntress.

Out of the cast, I think Ozpin is the only person she knew(besides Qrow and her baby daddy of course). And the only reason I think that is because it's Ozpin, and he strikes me as a person who knows everyone important (or unimportant). Plus his silver eyes remark. Perhaps Summer also had silver eyes and she and Ozpin crossed paths long ago. Which may explain why he recognized Ruby's eyes. And because he showed some familiarity with Ruby, and Glynda didn't I don't think she knew Summer either.

I definitely don't think the statue is Summer. We would have seen some major feels from or even recognition from Ruby if that were the case I would imagine.

Hmmm I know the popular theory was that Summer was killed by a Grimm or died in battle with an army of Grimm and I think that is Gold. BUT! What if she wasn't? What if she was killed by a rogue hunter/huntress or just some other human (or fauna). Out of betrayal oor just a foe she tried to beat but found herself powerless against. The feels that would bring. Especially if the killer came across Ruby without her knowledge. But that's just food for thought.

Another great blog! Perhaps next you could speculate the relationship between roman and cinder. Because I don't think he is as Scared of her as we believe. There may even be a deeper connection between them. and the relationship between ironwood, Glynda, qrow, and ozpin. They all have history and maybe they were all students together or even teammates at one point of another. Oo! Which leads to another question that I hope gets answered: do hunters stay on teams once they've graduated or do they go their separate ways, only convening when times call for it (like brunch or the destruction of a dangerous criminal/Grimm).
