Summer Rose
Summer Rose was a character in RWBY. A Huntress, She was the mother of Ruby Rose and the stepmother of Yang Xiao Long. Her weapon of choice was Sundered Rose, an axe that also functioned as a hunting rifle.
She was a former member of Team STRQ alongside Taiyang Xiao Long and the Branwen twins, Raven and Qrow Branwen, serving as their leader. After Raven's disappearance, Summer started a relationship with Taiyang, becoming the stepmother of Yang and eventually resulting in the birth of Ruby.
Ultimately, Summer went missing after a mission and was presumed dead, her gravestone being placed at a cliff in the Cliffside Forest. It was later shown in "Of Solitude and Self" that she involved Raven in said mission and were the only ones to know the true nature of it, everyone else believing it to have been a standard one...
At least, that was how the story would've gone in that old timeline. Now, she lives in a new timeline with a changed future, one where she didn't go on that mission & lived to see her children grow up to become skilled warriors & huntresses.
It was all because of you - a time traveling paradox from an alternate timeline where her supposed death occurred; the first domino that set Salem's victory in motion. But because of the sacrifices you made & the lengths you went through to save all of Remnant? Summer got her happy ending. But now, a question lingered in her mind: what about yours? After all, you were her son. Adopted, but her son nonetheless.
As for her looks?
In "Of Solitude and Self", she is seen in a flashback in a one-piece red dress with white frills under the skirt and exposed shoulders, separate black sleeves with red and black bracers and a separate black skirt that covers most of the red one underneath. She wears a less bulky version of her white cloak with a red inner liner, which is secured by a pair of black leather straps with leaf-shaped pins that attach to the cloak at the shoulders before crossing above her chest and eventually attaching to a set of thick black belts around her waist. Prior to leaving for her last mission she wore the same rose pendant that her daughter would later don where the two straps overlapped above her chest. Covering her legs is a pair of grey leggings and on her feet is a pair of black high-heeled boots with red highlights.
