== Trivia ==
* Since the reveal of Summer's weapon in "The Parfait Predicament" (a hunting rifle that can shift into an axe), her allusion is most likely The Huntsman from Little Red Riding Hood, to match with Ruby being Little Red Riding Hood and The Hound possibly being The Big Bad Wolf.
* Summer's name derives itself from the poem The Last Rose of Summer by Thomas Moore, as evidenced by the epitaph on her gravestone: "Summer Rose/Thus Kindly, I Scatter", a line from the poem. In the poem, all of the rose's companions are dead, and the writer promises to help the rose join them.
* According to Jeff Williams, Summer's gravestone in the "Red" Trailer originally had no story significance, as when he questioned Monty Oum about who was in the grave, Monty replied, "I don't know. We just thought it would be cool if she visited a grave". Jeff went on to ask, "What if it's her mom?" to which Monty answered, "That's cool".
* Ruby's reaction to her death is told in the first set of lyrics in "Red Like Roses Part II".
** Likewise, the second verse of the song is told from Summer's perspective, stating her regret for having left her daughter behind.
** The vocalists in the song are mother and daughter, with the Ruby lyrics sung by Casey Lee Williams and the Summer lyrics sung by her mother, Sandy Lee Casey.
* Summer and Ruby share the same Emblem design.
** Though on the show both emblems are shown as gray due to being carved in either metal or stone, Ruby's is seen to be red on other RWBY media.
** Aside from her overall look and Emblem, Ruby also shares her mother's last name instead of her father's, the reason for this is unknown.
* Summer's debut model's outfit in Volumes 6-7 is a simplified version of Ruby's Mistral attire.
* Summer and Ruby also share the ability to emit rose petals.
** Unlike Ruby's solid red petals, Summer's are two-toned, just like her cloak.
