Summer

 **Associations** | Work, Growth, Heat, Light

Falling after spring and before autumn, summer is the season of growth and abundance. If spring is the beginning of new things, summer is the growth and multiplication of things. While some people work during Summer, others play during this season, such as going to the beach and playing sports. The days are long, the nights are short, and the heat has reached its peak.

Summer can be said to be associated with **heat, light, growing season and work**.

## Description

Summer's guardians have red and its shades as the dominant color, aside from the green of growing plants and the Sun's yellow and gold. Blue is also present in the attires of some students of Summer, and it's rare to find one who adopts blue as the dominant color of his clothes or regalia (if you find one, they tend to be themed on sea life). Tropical flowers and trees are good motifs for the guardians of Summer. Animal motifs for them are animals that can dwell in jungles, savannas, and deserts such as tigers and lions, if they are in summer's colors, the better. A guardian may somehow emanates heat from themselves, making those near him feel warmth, and dried up if they hang out with him any longer. Some Estivals seem to generate moisture wherever they go, leaving their peers feel refreshed...and a little wet as if drenched in the summer rain.

### Personality

The guardians of summer are brimming with the heat of passion within, though some of them may look cool at first. This passion can be detected in the way they speak and act, especially in regards to their ideals. Summer guardians are notable for their love of having fun, especially in pouring their passion in whatever their calling may be, be it helping people, advancing a cause they are passionate about, playing a game or a sport (even mastering it), or even for some, academic pursuits.

They are the first to act in a situation, and when they are given a job to do, they would pour their hearts and souls into it until they get it done. And after that, they spend the rest of their energies in leisure and adventure. So, in short, they work hard and play hard. Their passion gives way to a kind of dedication that their fellows hope to achieve, and once a Summer guardian is set on a task, there's no way they can be swayed from fulfilling it.

They are warm, cheerful and gregarious, going out of their way to make friends. While Spring guardians draw friends to them, the Summer guardians, especially the lonely ones, seek company and it's no surprise that they turn up with Spring Guardians the most. A few can be spotted hanging out with Autumn guardians and Winter guardians. They have been known to be the first to defend the friends they made with a bravery matching the heat of summer, to encourage them to grasp opportunities to improve themselves, and nurture them with care as one would a garden.

Like Spring Guardians, they tend to let their emotions control them, though unlike them, Summer Guardians don't change their feelings in a whim. Their temper is their weakness, though, an angry guardian of Summer does not always think straight. And their passion and zeal, if driven by anger or unrestrained, can lead them to obsession that carries them to a hellish path. At their worst, they are either impulsive and quick to anger, like a single spark lighting a dry grassland on fire and destroying their charges, or, they bottle up their anger and let it fester as long as the rainstorms of summer - until the time is right, when they strike at their target as fast as a flash of lightning from the skies.
