What's in a name?

Ok, this is my first contest ever! so please be nice to me and enter!

It's pretty tricky actually. Basically i am going to give you FOUR characters but only their names. The physical description and personality is for your imagination. I want you to pick one of these characters and place them in a story. I don't mind which genre or what happens to them and by all means kill them off if you want! There are just a few rules:

1. No swearing please, i just don't like it.
2. No God bashing
3. PlEaSe DoN't WrItE lIkE tHiS!
4. Don't make it adult or erotica because i won't be able to read it.

Ok, now the rules are out of the way here are the names of which i want you to pick one and make the charater alive!

Number 1: Summer Dale

Number 2: Jacob Cutts

Number 3: Esther-Rose Hart

Number 4: Cameron Thorne

So you see, there's no life or depth in any of them yet. They're waiting for you! so please don't leave them there, pick one up and give them a story.

I will comment every entry

Please put your opinion of this contest in the authors notes. I'm always welcoming of (constructive) critism.
Well, I hope you enter and Good Luck!
