muzhikLINGERING SUMMER
Summer hails from the Farreach, on the far northern shore of Eorzea, where the Hellsguard clan of Roegadyn protect the volcanic mountains bordering Ishgard. Following the Seventh Umbral Calamity, the volcanic soil of her village's farmland, normally bountiful in spite of the cold weather, began to yield a fraction of the crops it once did, plunging her and her family into poverty. After several years, it became clear that the Calamity had permanently changed the ambient aether of the Farreach and that farming could no longer sustain her village. She decided to leave home and become an adventurer, hoping to bring wealth and good fortune back to her struggling village and, at the same time, indulge in some revenge against the Garlean Empire, whose warfare had caused the Calamity to begin with.
Thanks to a talent for combat and a mysterious power known as the Echo, Summer soon discovered that she was adept at slaying dangerous demigods known as Primals. She was recruited into a secret organization known as the Scions of the Seventh Dawn to help save Eorzea from the Primals' threat. Many conflicts and battles later, she is now known across the world as the Warrior of Light. Her initial desire for revenge would transform as well, as she came to understand the Garlean Empire as victims of an even greater threat: the Ascians, who sow chaos in service of their god, Zodiark.

L O Y A L.
Summer comes from a large family, within a tightknit community, located in a harsh and remote environment. This upbringing has imparted a strong devotion to those she considers "her people" and belief in the need to support each other. She will seek out strong connections with others whenever she finds herself alone in an unknown place. Once those connections are forged with others, she will devotedly support and defend them, even at great personal risk to herself.
At the same time, her loyalty gives her a "forgive and forget" approach to transgressions from her friends and family, even when it might be wiser to press the issue or recognize it as a red flag. Those with ill intentions may find it easy to manipulate her into trusting and helping them, only to betray her later. A betrayal of this kind wounds her significantly.

Naturally curious and easily bored, Summer delights in finding and studying the new. This is true for not only new experiences โ meeting new people, exploring new places, learning new skills โ but for new ideas and ways of solving problems. While some may feel justifiably cautious around new ways of thinking for the radical changes they can inflict on people and societies, Summer has a more laissez-faire attitude toward them. Change is the only way to improve the problems that society has, after all, and some bumps along the way are an expected part of that journey.
For this reason, Summer benefits greatly when she has someone acting as a calmer, cooler voice of reason... as long as that person is someone she trusts. If not, that voice of reason may be met with a bitter, stubborn unwillingness to recognize the value in the tried-and-true.

P R O A C T I V E.
Summer is a woman of action, in every sense of the term. Having grown up on a farm where there was always work to be done, she actively seeks out meaningful tasks as a matter of course. Summer wants and needs to feel that she is contributing to the betterment of the world around her, on both a macro and micro level. Staying "active" in some way or another is a core part of her identity and personal values.
However, simply being willing to act does not mean those actions always play out for the better. Sometimes, Summer will act without having a clear path to victory, simply because indecision and inaction makes her feel uncomfortable and useless. And sometimes, Summer's eagerness to help can come across as nosy or overbearing, as a person in need is not necessarily in need of her assistance specifically.

name
Like most Hellsguard Roegadyn, Summer adopts a shortened, translated version of her true name to allow for easier understanding and pronunciation by the other races of Eorzea. She only uses her real, full name when visiting home or in the exclusive presence of other members of the Hellsguard Clan.
If left untranslated, her full name would be Lingernsoemr Fraebyrtwyn (len-gurn-soom-er freh-beert-veen). Lingernsoemr translates to lingering summer. In line with Roegadyn custom, Summer's surname derives from her father's name, Fraebyrt (meaning Free Axe) and "-wyn" (meaning daughter), for a full translation to daughter of Free Axe.. Hellsguard are well-known to drop their surnames entirely when outside of their homeland, wishing for their actions to reflect on themselves as individuals only, and Summer follows this custom.

appearance
Summer is a large, muscular Roegadyn woman with mid-toned reddish skin and dark red hair. At a towering 7'4" in height, she is unusually tall even by Roegadyn standards. Her body is muscular and bulky after a lifetime of farm work, mountain living and combat. In relation to normal human proportions, she has broad shoulders, thick powerful arms, large hands, a thin waist, narrow hips, and a slim, flat butt, but her frame and body shape are typical for female Roegadyn. Considered quite beautiful both inside and outside her own race, she has slanted blue eyes, full lips, large breasts, and thick long eyelashes. Like all Hellsguard Roegadyn, the area at the bottom of her nose, around her nostrils, is a darker ashy tone than the rest of her skin.
