Summer (サマー, Sama) is a character in the Aozora's Adventure series.

Background[edit | edit source]

Summer is a mermaid hatched from a vibrant pink mermaid egg and raised in California by her mermaid parents. Making her home near the densely populated beaches of her home state, Summer captured the attention of everyone around her as a child with her upbeat and friendly yet strong and focused personality, lush two-tone pink and yellow hair, and her shiny, glamorous tail. She took frequent trips with her parents to the beach in the warmer months to swim, bask in the sun, and enjoy ice cream and frozen pops. Years later, she became old enough to travel out to the beach by herself, accompanied by a mermaid friend she made in high school.

One day during a trip to her personal favorite beach, Summer would catch wind of someone struggling to swim in the distance with faint screams only she could pick up. Seeing everyone eye the struggling swimmer and rush off the beach to get a lifeguard, Summer removed her sunglasses, ingested the rest of her ice cream, and dove into the ocean, rescuing the person and ferrying them back to the beach on her back. After setting the person down on the sand, Summer was congratulated for the act of heroism and hailed as a superstar of the beach.

Sometime after the incident, several months would pass and Summer would apply for training to acquire a license to become a lifeguard for the beach. Using the money she would earn, she would purchase a moped bike to drive around the town without conserving stamina or moisture. She would then regularly step out of her area on the moped with the intent of exploring new beaches and summertime activities further away from her home on her days off.

Powers and Abilities[edit | edit source]

Like with other mermaids, Summer is a human with characteristics of fish and other marine life. Being a modern-day breed, she can breathe on land and float and swim several inches off any surface using air sacs in her tail, while retaining her ability to dive and breathe underwater, swim at very fast speeds, and see and hear crystal-clear underwater without the assistance of goggles or contacts. On land, Summer’s swimming speed is reduced to that of the speed of an athlete running and her body is more vulnerable to dehydration, requiring regular consumption or absorption of water.

Summer has good agility and flexibility, including very quick reflexes and reaction time. Her nature as a mermaid also grants fast acceleration when swimming on land, despite her inability to swim at full speed while out of water. On land, her combat skills are very capable even through Summer’s figure, able to throw fast, swift punches and strike down foes with tail swipes and charging tackles.

Summer has two compacted inflatable tubes suspended on her waistline by a belt. By pulling a string hidden in each tube and throwing it in a frisbee-throwing motion, each tube quickly inflates to full size and hovers to the ground, functioning like a traditional adult-size tube able to hold several hundred pounds worth of weight. A careful series of wires and strings inside each tube cause them to return to their compressed state once their air plugs are released so they can be placed back on Summer’s belt. The tubes can also be used as a makeshift weapon by throwing them directly at someone in their flattened state, which increases their travel speed and lets Summer
