Personality
Career Oriented:
She has her career planned out and won't let anything get in the way. She's got her own news show at 30, and she plans on being a national news anchor by 35.
Determined:
Summer has a dogged perseverance about her. Once she sets her mind on an objective or goal, very little is able to sway her.
Seeks Justice:
In a city like Gotham, bad things often go unnoticed or simply ignored. Summer is determined to shine a light on all the dark deeds and hidden activities going on in the city. Partially because it helps her career, but mostly because she sees reporting as a way of helping make the world a better place and healing those who have been wronged.
Character Sheet
Powers
Skills
Charisma:
Summer knows how to charm people to get them to open up. This is really due to her personality and her charisma. She doesn't tend to use it outside of interviews and making sure that she gets a story. What she lacks in mystical or inhuman powers she makes up for with what she has at hand.
Hosting:
Summer is not shy in front of a camera or when they are off. She can talk under pressure and work on a time crunch. She's learned most of this from hosting her own TV show, but she's also been called to act as a co-host for charity and other events. She's a bit of a natural at it.
Interviewing:
There's an art to doing interviews; drawing out information from a person, catching little hints in conversations of something more to follow up on. And Summer is well-skilled in the art of the interview. She's gotten public figures to slip up on camera and admit to things that the public weren't even aware of happening
Investigation:
While many see Summer as just another nosey reporter with a pretty face, she has a keen investigative mind and is able to follow clues and gather evidence in pursuit of a story. If she weren't a reporter, she'd make a decent GCPD detective.
Journalism:
Summer also knows how to craft a report into a story that can grab the public's attention; fueling support, outrage, sympathy, or other sentiments about the story's subject.
Languages:
Summer is Fluent in English, ASL and Spanish. She studied ASL and Spanish while she was in college. Given this it has helped with her reporting and in her day to day life when she runs across those that are not native English speakers or those that are deaf.
Resources
Contacts:
Summer has a wide net of contacts and informants that she uses to get her stories. Sometimes they ask for favors and things of that nature, but she's not going to be doing anything shady, that's for sure.
Local Personality:
Being a well known reporter with her own local news show has it's perks. Summer is well-recognized around Gotham, having a minor celebrity status that can get her reservations, invites to events, hard-to-get tickets, and other minor benefits.
Press Credentials:
As a member of the Fourth Estate, Summer has credentials that give her access to all kinds of events, as well as some access to criminal investigations.
Wgbs:
A major television station in Gotham, Summer can request things like tickets for travel or events, hotel stays, and other expenses while in pursuit of a story. She also has an assigned cameraman, news van & driver, and production staff.
Weaknesses
Fame:
With being a highly visible and recognized figure comes a darker side. Summer has more than her share of critics, detractors, and sometimes stalkers. She's also a public figure that can be targeted by any of the various psychos in Gotham for their plots of terror.
Pursuit of a Story:
Once she's started an investigation, Summer doesn?t give up. Threats, vandalism, even kidnappings won't make her give up. She doesn't think of the personal cost, only of getting to the truth of the matter.
