@RWBY's fan - But Summer didn't exist before Monty made the Red Trailer. When Monty was making the Red Trailer, Jeff Williams (RWBY's song writer) asked him "Who's in the grave?", to which Monty replied "I dunno, I thought it'd be cool." So, Jeff was like "Is it her mother?" and Monty decided, sure, Ruby's mom is in the grave.

Basically, Maria was already gonna be Ruby's mentor. Summer was added last minute just because Monty liked Jeff's suggestion of who is in the grave that he had made.
