'''Summer Lane''' is a female character in the series ''Daria''. She is one of the older sisters to [[Jane Lane]]. She appears only once on-screen, a speaking appearance during the episode ''[[Lane Miserables]]''.
Summer is in her early-to-mid 30s, [http://www.the-wildone.com/dvdaria/glennfollowup1.html according to Eichler], which means she was at school (maybe not the same year) at the same time as Kevin's [[Charlene Thompson|mother]] and [[Doug Thompson|father]].▼
==Overview and Family==
Summer is daughter of [[Vincent Lane|Vincent]] and [[Amanda Lane]] and the oldest sibling of [[Wind Lane]], [[Penny Lane]], [[Trent Lane]] and [[Jane Lane]].
Summer has shared the Lane's off-hands parenting methods. As a child, she was once allowed (i.e., Amanda did not care) to eat nothing but Pez for a whole year
Adult Summer does not live in [[Lawndale]]
Summer shares the rest of her siblings tense relations with one another. When the Lane family is together in years (''Lane Miserables''), Summer only appeared because Adrien and Courtney had run off to Casa Lane. Once there, she bickers with her siblings, showing contempt for Penny and berating her children for leading her there, stating the family home is [sic] "the last place on Earth I want to be".
▲As a child, she was allowed to eat nothing but Pez for a whole year. (Lane Miserables) As a teenager, she attended [[Lawndale High]] and was loathed as a slacker by [[Ms. Morris]]. ([[See Jane Run]])
▲As Summer is in her early-to-mid 30s,
▲Summer does not live in [[Lawndale]] now, but when Jane was younger Summer lived at home with some of her children - Jane used to help manage them until "they became old enough to run away" ([[Pinch Sitter]]). She has four children ([[The Teachings of Don Jake]]), though only two of them, [[Adrian]] and [[Courtney]], are shown in the series or the books. Her children run away from home periodically and she has to get private detectives to find them. ''Why'' they run away is unknown, though in "[[The Daria Diaries]]" she abruptly dropped her other two children at [[Casa Lane|the family home]] (when nobody was in!) while tracking Adrian and Courtney.
===Children of the Worn web business===
On the old MTV website [[LaneBay]], we find out Summer runs a web business called Children of the Worn (Summer Lane's Resale Shop)":
▲Glenn Eichler [http://www.the-wildone.com/dvdaria/glennfollowup1.html said] Summer was the "[[Rita Barksdale|Rita]] [Barksdale]" of the Lanes, meaning someone "losing their footing a bit, whether that meant dropping out of school, becoming a huge druggie, getting into a bunch of bad "all you need is love" relationships, or having any number of other experiences that their parents considered scandalous" (though without the "considered scandalous" part, knowing the Lanes).
