Overview and Family
Summer is daughter of Vincent and Amanda Lane and the oldest sibling of Wind Lane, Penny Lane, Trent Lane and Jane Lane. She's shown contempt for Penny.
Summer does not live in Lawndale. 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. It is hinted in both sources that her children run away from home periodically. We don't know if she's married still, but a comment by Penny Lane refers to Summer having "experience" at failed marriages.
She refered to the family home as "the last place on Earth I want to be".
In Fanfiction
Summer is often portrayed as a uncaring or negligent mother, thus her children running away.
In Nine-Eleven and Counting, by TAG, she is described as also having been neglected during childhood (along with her siblings) and that she has had children but failed to raise them.
She appears or is referenced in the works:
Summer Lane in Fan art and comics
- Summer has been depicted by Lilliane Grenier in several artworks found on Outpost Daria most notably "the Lane sisters" and ["The Lane family Portrait"]
- Summer and Penny Lane appear in page 4 of Wouter Jaegers' Dariarotica comic Growing pains where the two of them refused the hand-me-down clothing offered by their mother on different occasions.
