Summer Jones. She doesn't really have any nicknames that have stuck with her. Her parents sometimes call her 'Sum', but she thinks it sounds too weird for a nickname. Wade calls her Sunshine, but she wouldn't want anybody else to call her that. It's their special thing.
16 years old, her birthday is on the 11th January. People often tell her how she has a baby face and only looks around 13. She hates it and wishes she looked her own age, but she knows that she will be grateful for it when she is older.
Straight, and in a relationship with Wade Rawlson.
Summer Jones, an aspiring dancer, is 16 years old. She attends Metric School of the Arts, much to her dismay. Summer wants to be home-schooled, giving her more time to focus on her dancing. Her parents want her to stay in school, to be able to socialize and have a life outside of dance. She spends 25 hours at week at dance practice, and then competitions are on top of this. Her parents compromised and allowed her to attend Metric, and although she hates being in school, she knows this is the best school she could possibly attend as they fully support her with her dancing.
Summer stands at 5 foot 11 and often gets called a giraffe. She has a very toned body, due to the amount she dances. She hates that she has a 'six pack', especially when her friends tell her how jealous they are. She would prefer just a completely flat tummy, but she knows that she needs her abs. Her legs are what she considers her best feature, as they are very long and in her mom's words 'ballerina like'. Summer is usually dressed in a dance leotard, with jog pants and a hoodie over the top. Her mum always tells her that she should dress more girly and pretty, but Summer just enjoys how cosy her dance clothes are.
Her dirty blonde hair hangs just below her breasts. She has never dyed her hair and likes to keep it at a long length, as it is much easier to get it into a ballet bun or any other hairstyle she needs it in for dance. Her hair is very thick and has a slight wave to it. She tends to just throw it on top of her head for school and dance practice, and when she is in a dance exam or performance, it is stuck to her head with a ton of hairspray, usually in a bun or a french twist.
Summer has her ears pierced once, just the bottom of her ear lobe. She tends to wear just a simple stud unless she is in a dance competition or performance, then she would wear larger earrings, that are still are quite plain, they just add a bit of sparkle. She doesn't have any tattoos and doesn't have any desire to get any. She wants to keep her body very simple, as dance companies don't like people with 'stand out' tattoos or piercings.
Summer excels at several different styles of dance. She loves ballet and does around 12 hours of this a week. She also loves tap, lyrical and contemporary. She also takes acro class, jazz class, technique class and also a hip hop class. She doesn't take hip-hop as much as her other classes, just a couple of hours every few weeks. Hip-hop is her least favourite style of dance, as she feels kinda goofy when she does it, almost as if her legs and arms are too long to move like they're supposed to. She doesn't like the feeling of learning all the technique that she has, to lose it slightly and relax more in hip-hop. However when she performs hip-hop, a fierce attitude that Summer would never have anywhere else comes out, and she owns the dances! Her parents are starting to think that she is too obsessed with dance, however Summer just wants a future in dance, particularly ballet.
She is an absolute perfectionist and gets very frustrated when she can't get things 100% perfect. She tries as hard as she can in school, and isn't happy with anything less than an A. With all the time she spends dancing, and then schoolwork, she doesn't have as much time as she would like to see her friends. Her parents are trying to get her to drop a couple of hours dance, just to have more of a social life, but Summer is strongly against this. Her friends understand why she can't always be out with them or going to the movies, and they respect her decision.

Summer often models for dance catalogues, something which her dance studio put students forwards for. She gets paid for doing the work, but the bonus points for her are she gets a load of freebies from the companies which are usually rehearsal wear. She likes doing the catalogue work but sometimes finds it hard to fit it into her hectic life.
Summer is very shy around people she doesn't know, however once you get to know her, you can't shut her up. She gets the giggles quite easily, something which her parents like to see, a huge contrast to her perfectionist side of her personality.

Summer is in a relationship with Wade Rawlson. Although he is a couple of years older than her, and a lot
more experienced in relationships, Summer feels completely at ease with him. He treats her like a princess
and is so supportive of everything she does. They fell for each other pretty quickly, but their relationship is going
steady, and they are an official couple. Her parents love Wade, and love that she has somebody to look after her
when they can't be there for her.
Summer is an only child and has a fantastic relationship with both her mother and her father. David and Rachel struggled to conceive, and after 6 years of trying for a child, they had given up on the idea, and were taking a break before they properly looked into adoption. During a holiday to Hawaii, Rachel realised she never had her period. She took a pregnancy test, not expecting anything to come of it. She found out she was pregnant, and the two couldn't have been happier! When Rachel was 13 weeks pregnant, she suffered a bad bleed, and was told my her doctors that it was very, very rare that the baby would pull through. But teeny tiny fetus Summer clung on like the determined fighter that she is, and the rest of the pregnancy was completely healthy.
As soon as Summer was born, David and Rachel spoilt her rotten. She had everything a child could ever need, went to every Parent and Baby group possible, attending baby swimming lessons from being 9 months old, and then her first dance class as soon as she could toddle. David is always thankful that Rachel took her to that very first ballet class, because Summer wouldn't be who she is today without dance.
She is still spoiled by both parents, but they don't allow her to have a bratty, snooty attitude. She knows that if she is in the wrong, she will be punished for it. Punishments in the Jones household are things like missing dance class, so Summer tends to stay on the good side of her parents. Plus, she is rarely at home, so she never actually has time to misbehave.
