PATRONUS: Dingo (not yet attempted)
BOGGART: Feeling insignificant and ignored.
MIRROR OF ERISED: To live free and unjudged and on her own terms
HABITS: Summer's main state of mind is constantly set to Sarcasm and Mischief Making. If left to her own devices, she'll bore easily and start thinking up 'master plans', which cause her to have random bouts of giggling and exclamations of excitement. Her fingernails are chewed down quite a bit, something she does when she's anxious or nervous.

STRENGTHS:
• Stealth
• Above Average Logic and Intelligence
WEAKNESSES:
• Very loud and outspoken
• Hair-trigger temper
• Egotistical pride
TRAITS: Summer has been described as "Loki's forgotten child", as she's mischievous, scheming, and tends to cause trouble where she goes. This trouble is constantly being fixed, or attempts to be fixed, by her older sister, Araelia. Despite this, she still feels love and some varying amount of respect for Araelia. Being the youngest, not to mention last female, of a family, Summer grew up somewhat spoiled and got away with almost everything, something that she carried on with her to her Hogwarts days. Her love for pranks and chaos turned her into a decent strategist and planner. She speaks harshly and blunt, with lots of sarcasm, and likes to make sexual references.
Even though she's the "troublemaker" type, she's quite intuitive and has some sort of study ethic, something her parents attributed to her older sister's influence, rather than something of her own. This greatly troubles her, so it could be said that her pranks are a way of trying to make her parents see her for who she is, someone who's smart enough to cause controlled chaos, who isn't a goodie-two shoes.
Recent developments brought out the more caring side of her and, despite being a diehard Slytherin House Pride person during her first 4 and a half years, she's come to accept camaraderie from certain people in other houses. She's still snarky and has her comebacks, but they're less thorny than before.

HISTORY:
Summer Mnemosyne (Grk. for "memory") Leighton was born the second and last child of Maggie and Charles Leighton. As such, she was usually given a lot of leeway with her actions and received minor punishments when she did do something wrong. She frequently got into trouble (like the mud wasp incident) but wasn't scolded as harshly as her sister or cousins (second-cousins, the rest of the family, etc). Some family members argue that Araelia and Summer's middle names should have been switched, as Summer is much thornier than Araelia is.
At Hogwarts, she was sorted into Slytherin where she thrived as a mischief maker. She even took House Pride to heart, acting superior towards the other three Houses. Araelia still trailed after her, cleaning up her messes, which lead to shouting matches, which led to lost House points. Their differences in opinion slowly became too large to ignore and Araelia and Summer just stopped trying to interact with each other.
Her first few years (academically) were boring; she hardly paid any attention in class, but still passed with Acceptable's and a few Exceeding Expectations. During a pranking stint, she ran into Ryder O'Callaghan. Despite him being a Gryffindor and her older sister's ex-boyfriend, they formed a tentative alliance when it came to pranking, though still treating each other like bitter rivals throughout. She was impressed with their first attempt, though she'll deny it rather vehemently, and he's her first choice as a partner-in-crime. Justin is her second choice after hearing about some of his own exploits, but she used to be hesitant in bringing him in her plans due to his familial ties.
The murders during Winter Break and her cousin Pandora's accident, despite them not being on the greatest of terms, really shook her up and broke down her shields, revealing the hidden parts of her under all the snarky sarcastic exterior, a vulnerable, confused girl who really does care about family but doesn't know how to express it.
