PERSONALITY; She will wrap you in at any moment and you won't be able to get away. She has this way about her that teases someone a bit but makes them feel like you're entering an old friends arms. Hope knows how to work a room and being the center ofattention isn’t her goal...ever but her witty jokes and confidence draw people to her.
When Hope gets angry she doesn't hold back. When she wants to get a message across she knows what to say and how to say it. Her angry side is actually pretty scary but it takes a little more than usual to make her get to that point. It's like someone else enitrely takes over her body. When someone annoys her she just get's very stern with them and makes them go away.
When Hope opens her mouth sheknows what she's talking about. She rarely ever speaks before thinking but it does happen to her. Under stressful situations its understanable that she might loose her train of thought. But that's once in a blue moon for Hope. She loved school and still enjoys being knowledgable on anything she possibly can.
She will stick by someones side if they deserve her loyalty anddefendthem if she believes in them. She'll do her best to be there when a friend needs her and support them in even their stupidest endeavors. She'll catch them when they fall. But if it's really dumb Hope gives pretty good adviceand will do what she can to prevent any harm coming to a friend. Her friends are all she has and she works hard trying to preserve that.
Sometimes if one looks hard enough into Hope's eyes when shes deep in thought you can tell just how much pain she puts herself through. She forces herself to work through things alone and not let people worry about her well being or her problems. She wants to get things done by herself but it wears her down sometimes.She needs to learn how to ask for help. She can be extremelystubbornwhen her friends want to help her.
Hope loves writing, painting, reading, photography, comics, fashion, playing music, and many other things. She is passionate for them and will not give them up for anything. Their part of her soul and she loves doing them. She is so dedicated to being the best she can be and won't stop for anyone. On the flip side, Hope is passionate in the sense that when she's in love, she is all in. She gives all of her heart to the person she knows won't break it...or at least will try their hardest in the long run. Hope doesn't give that responsibility and trust to anyone but she is a passionate lover in every sense of the word. She does hookup because well...it's fun. But when she's in a committed relationship then she does what she can to be the best for them.
Those who cannot handle the truth may call Hope a bitch but it's okay with her. She believes in the honesty and telling people what's on her mind. She has a filter and there are many times that she will shut up if it's not her place or if she might go over the line. But she will blunt with just about anyone and won't hide something from anyone if they're asking her. She appreciates honesty greatly. One of the worst things someone could do to her is to lie.

HISTORY; Hope Summers was born and raised in New York City with two parents who seemed perfect. To the outside world she was a happy child with only the worry of what dress she would wear to that dinner or the shoes for that tea with relatives. Yes, that's partly true. As a child she was okay because her parents hadn't begun fighting until she was 7. Her mother was not from the social life that her father had been raised in. William Lynn, her father, was a lawyer with a well known firm in the city. He was always surrounded by the richest of the rich and the people that would cut your throat in a second if they needed to. Her mother, Rose Summers, on the hand was from the other side of the spectrum. She was a florist when she first met Luke and gave that up in order to live the high life, the life he couldn't escape. She wanted to be with him but couldn't stand the constant looks and pressure of living in a society that he was apart of. She wanted out. But then came Hope an there was no way of leaving. Rose tried her hardest to follow through with a healthy pregnancy and succeeded under the watchful eyes of many around her.
Once Hope turned the age of when she could comprehend the conversations around her she realized how much her home and her family were screwed up. She turned out to be a very chill, young girl who didn't care much for the fancy parties but rather writing, reading, and hanging out with friends. She had turned out the way her mother had wanted her but Rose still wasn't happy. Hope, obviously being a young curious girl, wondered what she was doing wrong. Her father was so busy with work that it was all up to her mother to do everything around the house and with Hope. For weeks at a time Hope wouldn't see her father due to his job but one day he was at their house saying goodbye. He was leaving to California for work and the amount of time was undecided. For Hope at that moment is was just another business trip. Hope barely had time to even say a real goodbye before someone came up and got his bags. The socialites congratulated Luke and bid him farewell and he left NYC forever. The socialites didn't care anymore about his poor wife and daughter because they weren't the main focus of their time anymore. They needed to find someone else to pay attention to.
While battling depression Rose attempted to keep it together as the man she dropped everything for dropped her for what he truly wanted. While Luke cared most about his career Rose felt like her life was left behind for some other lifetime. As the years went on Hope noticed the sleeping pills and anti-depressants which was alright with her. She was a smart girl and knew that taking the pills would help her mother. But other things started to show up around her mothers bedroom. Little packets of white powder and to a young mind it made no sense. What was this new substance and why did her mother have it? She was only 10 but as things got progressively worse Hope matured faster than anyone could help. She had to find things out on herself, tell the care to take her to school, feed herself, and anything else her mother was now uncapable of doing. Her mother was so far gone that Hope had given up on any hope. That same year her mother finally left. Simply leaving the bank account information Rose ran away to a world she thought was waiting for her too.
Hope moved to Cresting Grove with her grandparents who turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to her. They were her rock as she tried to find her footing over the next few years. As a teenager who didn't know how to deal with her angry she made many stupid decisions but growing up in Cresting Grove was better than NYC. She eventually moved back to NYC for college and finished under a major of Creative Writing and minor of Psychology. She gained a cushy job as a freelance writer through the connections she gained in college. She was pretty set in her new apartment until she got a call that her grandfather was on his death bed.
Hope left NYC almost immediately to come and be with him as he slowly passed. He gave her his bookstore in town and she refused to let it go to anyone else. It's been two years since then and she's still working there but has found her own connections in North Carolina. Her grandmother has recently developed some health problems which is yet another trauma in Hope's life. She hopes to one day return to NYC but for now she has her old and new friends keeping her in Cresting Grove.
