Everyone's got some good points.
I want to add something though...
Because of the way the job lore has been presented you will definitely need a solid background explaining how you were able to be infused with that primal aether.
But more importantly I think is recognizing that Summoner in this world is not a simple, carefree bit of magick that anyone can do.
It's an ancient, forgotten powerful magick, and to the bumpkins of most of Eorzea, beset on all sides by primal forces it will seem nearly sacrilegious.
Basically what I'm saying is it's a big deal. It's not to be taken lightly, its a big choice for your character and roleplaying it well will take a good amount of research into the lore of the class, and a good amount of time fleshing out your background to justify how your character came to acquire this ancient, powerful magick.
My suggestion would be to begin as an Arcanist, taught in the guild or by a private tutore or self-taught with some book, whatever you want. But start there, and roleplay the path to becoming a SMN. (You'll still have to have her be doused by primal aether at some point, but it's a nice slow start as you learn the lore.)
Also you get a super cute carbuncle to play with.
Anyway, asking here is a great first step! I wish you the best luck in fleshing out your character and joining us for some fun roleplay.
