Summer (Oblivia)

Summer is the female protagonist in Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs. She is a Pokémon Ranger that operates in the beautiful Oblivia region. 
If Summer is chosen as the playable character, her counterpart Ben will show up as her partner. However, if Ben is chosen as the player character, Summer will fulfill the opposite role, thereby showing up as an NPC instead.
==Appearance==
Summer is a skinny young girl with brown hair, dark brown eyes, and fair skin. She shares a few similarities with Kate (the female protagonist of the previous game), with both of them being average-looking young girls and having similar clothes. Unlike Kate, however, Summer only wears one outfit throughout the game (with it being her Ranger uniform). Her outfit consists of an open red vest with white cuffs and yellow trimmed edges, a blue and white shirt, and matching high-waisted blue shorts that she tucks her shirt into. For accessories, Summer wears a yellow scarf, white-cuffed blue gloves that match her shirt and shorts, and red goggles with blue lenses. (She also wears a big red belt with a round silver buckle to keep her shorts from falling down.) On her feet, Summer wears yellow ankle socks and red and blue shoes with white straps and soles.
==Personality==
Despite her young age, Summer is a model example of a Ranger. She is selfless, brave, and greatly cares for Pokémon, all qualities that make her one of the finest Rangers in Oblivia. While she has no onscreen dialogue as the player character, her personality can be seen through her actions and the dialogue of NPCs, similarly to Kate and Solana. 
As an NPC, Summer is much the same, aside from the fact that she has spoken dialogue. One noticeable difference is that she has a great respect for her partner, Ben, sometimes even stepping in to protect him from danger. Another facet of Summer's respect for Ben is how she is very heavily implied to have a crush on him- later in the game, when Summer's friend Nema teases her about how she's basically going on a "date" with her partner, she gets very embarrassed and flustered. 
==Biography==
Summer's backstory and role in the game changes depending on whether she is the player character or not. For example, if she is the player character, she will be the one to do most of the work of saving Oblivia (since she will be the hero). If she is an NPC, she will be the player character's partner and accompany them throughout some parts of the game. (She will also receive the Latias sign and have a Staraptor as her partner Pokémon if she is an NPC.)
At the start of the game, Professor Hastings orders both Ben and Summer to travel to the Oblivia region and gather information on a Pokémon poaching group called the Pokémon Pinchers. From there, Summer's role differs depending on if she is the player character or not.
