How do I see Summer?

... I can't see her as anything but Ruby from a different time. Same mannerisms and all.


 * To young Oz* - "And then, I was all like HYAH! WHAAHHH!"

Of course, she's far more mature, being a full-blown huntress and mother. She's kind and nurturing. I'd also wager she's far darker in combat - being a Huntress means she's seen things Ruby isn't ready for - firends getting killed and the like. However, when it comes down to it, she's still dorky and childish at heart.

It's of note that this is the exact same way I expect Ruby to be as an adult, so you could say I see it as Summer = Older Ruby.

I can't see her not having known Ozpin and Qrow, one being Ruby's uncle and the other... well, it's just an intuition, really. He does seem very interested in Ruby's eyes...

The recent Afterbuzz interview with Monty revealed that Cinder's young. Like, early-20's young. So, unfortunatly, it wouldn't seem like she'd know Summer.
