Character Relationships in Summering

Daisy (played by Lia Barnett) is a protagonist in Summering. Daisy is one of the girls facing the end of summer and the uncertainty of middle school. She remembers Daisy's Dad describing how firework colors remain after the light fades, and at her house she joins the ritual to contact the dead. She shares the pact and investigation with the other girls. Mari (played by Eden Grace Redfield) appears in Summering. Mari is one of the girls involved in the pact to investigate the Dead Man before telling their mothers. The investigation creates personal pressure for her when she loses or damages her phone and her mother leaves worried messages after realizing that Mari has lied. She remains part of the group’s risky decisions. Lola (played by Sanai Victoria) appears in Summering. Lola is one of the girls and takes an initiating role in the investigation. After the group discovers the Dead Man, she proposes returning the next morning, identifying him themselves, and telling their mothers only if they fail by Sunday. Her plan turns the discovery into a pact and a final adventure before middle school. Joy (played by Ashley Madekwe) appears in Summering. Daisy's Dad (played by Dale McKeel) appears in Summering. Daisy's Dad is remembered through Daisy’s recollection of his saying about fireworks: their colors remain visible after the light has disappeared. Though he is not shown taking part in the investigation, this remembered idea gives Daisy and the girls’ fading childhood a lasting emotional image. Dead Man (played by Nick Mathews) appears in Summering. The Dead Man is the unidentified body discovered by the girls in a damaged, isolated place. His apparent death, possibly suicide, drives their decision to investigate instead of immediately calling the police. His wallet, possible connection to a bar, and uncertain past lead the girls to question who he was and whether he was a good person.
