"Summer Rose - Thus Kindly I Scatter" is the inscription on the altar/gravestone in the Red Trailer. The way it is written has led some to theorise that 'Summer Rose' is a proper name and is a relative of Ruby's either buried or memoralised at that spot.

There is also the white-cloaked figure that Ruby sees over the same altar in the Opening. All-in-all, it seems that there was once a Huntress who resembled Ruby in some ways by the name of 'Summer Rose'. Who she is an precisely when she lived remains undefined. There are currently two leading theories:


 * She was the partner of Jaune Arc's great-great grandfather during The War;


 * She is Ruby's late mother, who is possibly the subject of the lyrics of Red LIke Roses Part II (the battle theme of Episode 8).
