OVERALL APPEARANCE !
( DISTINGUISHING MARKS) her skin was pretty much flawless in the way of piercings, tattoos and blemishes, though she does bear a single birthmark. This is a mark that most do not see, as it is on the back of her neck, just below her hairline, and she rarely wears her hair completely up and off of her neck for anyone to see. It is faint, just a slight discoloration of the skin; it curves around her hair line in a crescent sort of way and, from the way the birthmark is shaded, it looks like a crescent moon or something similar to that.
[/ul]FACIAL FEATURES !
( EYES ) her vivid green eyes are known to go wild when she is adamantly passionate about something. if you are in a verbal altercation with her, they will get brighter and brighter the madder she gets. And in the opposite terms, when she is sad, her eyes are a very soft green; when she is happy, her eyes are also a bright green, but more of a bluer green color, which shows the difference between her anger and happy emotions. One of her tell-tale signs of how she is really feeling, but only those that know to look for it will be able to tell; not many know of this either.
( FACE / SKIN TONE ) her face is slightly oval shaped and her cheekbones are rather defined. Her complexion is rather on the pale side, though she can tan out all right over the summer months when she actually chooses to go outside. Her jaw is very defined as well and she has been known to turn her chin at those she does not respect or care to look at in a somewhat equal way by looking at the face to face.

LIKES !
( MEN - PHYSICALLY ) To put it quite bluntly, Sam has no need for a man beyond that of a physical aspect. She feels that being in a relationship and having emotional attachments to someone. It makes you weak, or so she says, but even with that mentality, she cannot deny herself the physical and sexual desires and needs that she has. She usually makes it known from the beginning that she isn’t looking for a relationship and that it was strictly a sex thing. Most guys didn’t have a problem with that anyway so it wasn’t really a big deal.
( CLASSICAL MUSIC ) Not to say that she doesn’t like other kinds of music or anything, but classical music just relaxes her; it lets her think. It isn’t heavy on her brain and it doesn’t aid a migraine. She likes some rock music, but she is just more of a classical kind of person. She prefers calm environments, even though she is the sort to like chaos as well… d**n the hypocrite-ness in her.
[/ul]DISLIKES !
( HER SENSES ) Her entire life has been left with this pain in the ass power that she wishes she could trade in for something else. If only that were possible; she hated being able to hear, see, taste, touch and smell everything. Sure it had it’s perks, like she’d always know if something was burning and she could hear people talking about her without even trying to, but sometimes it was better not to see, hear, touch, taste and smell things. Sometimes she didn't; care what people said about her or anyone she knew; sometimes she didn’t care that she could see for miles and see someone kissing their girlfriend across the Bay. Who cares? She definitely didn’t and she hated that she had no choice in whether she saw, touched, tasted, felt or heard it.
( GOODY TWO SHOES ) If there is one thing Sam cannot stand, it is the ‘goody two-shoes’ and ‘ass kisser’ types, the ones that go way above and beyond the call of duty to impress those higher than they are in hopes of moving up faster then they should. In Sam’s eyes, a person should be judged and promoted based on merit and not how quickly you get your boss’s coffee or tea. Sam wasn't the sort to kiss anyone’s ass and will set you straight if you either ever suggested that she did or that she should. Even to a boss, she would be straight forward in the sense that she would not be that sort of person so they shouldn’t expect her to be.
[/ul]STRENGTHS !
( RESOURCEFUL ) Having been on her own pretty much her entire life, Sam has gotten used to doing everything on her own. this may also be considered a weakness at times, as she doesn’t know how to really work well with others as a direct result of this, but she knows how to get down to the nitty-gritty and get what she has to get done, done. This worked well for her when she had worked as a reporter for the local paper in the Bay area and was looking up things for stories that she was writing. she isn’t afraid to ask questions and she is even less afraid about poking her nose around in places it shouldn’t be to get the information, the story, that she seeks. She also is driven to the point where she will do whatever she ahs to do in order to succeed; she isn’t the sort to use sex and a means to an end, but she knows what a sway of her hips and a puckered set of lips can do to most guys.
[/ul]WEAKNESSES !
( CERTAIN SCENTS ) She has yet to figure out why, but for some reason she gets slightly queasy whenever she smells something musky or ‘spicy’ like. Whenever she smells it, her face wrinkles up and she feels slightly off in her stomach. She doesn’t feel queasy in the sense that she is going to be sick; no, she is queasy in the sense that she gets these strange butterflies feeling in the pit of her stomach and she has no idea why. She hates it when she feels like this for no reason, it finds it plaguing her thoughts o why she feels this way. She doesn’t normally feel like this around people, so this is all new to her; well, it’s been going on for the last few years, since she left the Magic school.
[/ul]GOAL !
[/ul]HAPPIEST MEMORY !
[/ul]WORST MEMORY !
( CLAUSTROPHOBIA ) She doesn’t like small and confined places, as it makes her feel like she is too closed in and she will begin to go insane if she doesn’t get to ‘fresh air’ or just a more wide open space. She hates close proximity to just about anything, except her cat, and she is a big fan of the personal space bubble. She isn’t one of those germ freaks though, don’t get her wrong, she just don’t like being too close to people in a physical sense – though in an emotional sense too – and will usually shy away from hugs and such; there are always certain exceptions
( WRITING ) As one to be alone most of the time, and preferably that way, Samantha does a lot of writing. She puts a lot of her inner thoughts and feelings into them, things that she feels she cannot tell another soul. Each notebook that she has written in and filled has been charmed so that anyone besides her cannot read it. Hard spells to do indeed, but that’s why she was one of the top students in her class. But yeah, she writes everything in them, everything she would tell a best friend; kind of pathetic that her ‘best friend’ consists of thousands of filled notebooks stowed away in her room; all locked away where no one will ever know that they exist or what they contain.
( ARTISTIC ) Not only does she love to frequent the galleries and look upon the works that are showcased or to the museums to see the new exhibits when they are unveiled. Her job on the paper also gave her a reason to frequent them, since she worked for the arts section of the paper. She did all of the articles on the upcoming and opening galleries and exhibits going on around the Bay area and she always had an inside scoop on the shows and often got to preview them before the rest o the unwashed masses. And while most do not know this about her, Sam is rather inclined when it comes to art. She can draw rather well and actually has some of her own paintings hung in her apartment. She uses the second bedroom in her apartment for a studio, she had it painted white and then eventually covered it with pretty much anything and everything. Some o it was shaded with colored pencils while other parts of it were painted with oils, some charcoals. She used all sorts of different techniques through the entire mural that she has placed on her walls and every day adds a bit more color to it. And when she finally finished it, she will then take pictures of it and the paint it white again and start over fresh.

She doesn’t know anything of her parents, how they met, when they met, where they went on their first date, when they got married, who her family is or anything about what her life could have been like had her parents not have left her on the doorstep of the orphanage days old, wrapped in a blanket and in a basket with a note explaining that she may one day manifest powers and abilities. Her birth certificate was enclosed, but her parents’ names were removed from it, leaving only her birth name and date for records purposes. She would grow up calling the ladies of the orphanage miss or missus whatever their last name was. She never would call them just by their first name or even miss or missus whatever their first name was; it was a formal thing to her, as she felt no real attachment to the women. Perhaps it was the way they always seemed to look at her or distance themselves from her, treating her like an outsider. It was no wonder that the kids at the orphanage treated her the way they did.
She hated her time at the orphanage and it was partly because of her enhanced senses that she had heard everything that the other kids and adults said about her when they thought she couldn’t hear. She never told any of them that she had enhanced senses, finding that more of a need to know sort of thing. And, quite frankly, she never thought that any of them needed to really know about it. She doesn’t broadcast any of her abilities, though all of the kids know that there is something ‘weird’ about her and many of them had been present for when she first learned of her telekinesis abilities. That scared a bunch of them, but it didn’t end their hushed whispers about her behind closed doors. She grew to hate everyone at the orphanage and did her best to put on a good show for when anyone ever came to look at the kids to possibly bring them home. The first eight years of her life were hectic, constantly going in and out of foster homes and the people just didn’t seem to think that her ‘weirdness’ was something they could look or get past.
Between the ages of eight and thirteen, Sam remained at the orphanage. They didn’t even bother ‘showing her’ when prospective parents came by because they knew better than to get their hopes up that anyone would come and take her permanently. Her life would remain hectic and full of hate and discontent until she would turn thirteen years old, having to constantly put up with the maltreatment she received from everyone at the orphanage and even when she was in her primary schooling years because she attended with a lot of the other orphanage kids and they just helped make her life a living hell. She would soon get accepted to the Magi school and the orphanage heads decided that they didn’t want to put up with her any longer, especially if she would be attending a magic school of any kind, and managed to find an older couple that needed the money and offered them a large sum to take the girl for the time she had to go to this special school and that they would receive half of the money before and half of it after she left school and no longer needed the system to look after her.
The Magic School was all that she hoped for, though she still didn’t have many friends while in attendance. It got her away from the orphanage, one of her happiest moments without a doubt, and she didn’t have to worry about any of the other kids from the orphanage to ruin her time there. She found herself to be quite fond of a few of her classes, English and history being her more preferred of her classes, though she did find her telekinesis class to be rather enjoyable. Her senses classes, yeah not so much, but she was glad that she had learned how to control it, too bad she still couldn’t actually do it. Her school days were spent with her nose in books and pouring over her writing; she had even sent in a few anonymous letters to the school paper that had been talked about quite often, though no one ever knew who had written them… no one but her that is.
She loved her time at the Magic School, sad that it was no longer a current in her life, but she was where she wanted to be now, living on her own and working in a place where she was actually respected and her work was appreciated. She had even started doing some freelance writing of her own, but nothing that she would ever consider showing to the publishers that she worked for. She didn’t want them to ever think that she was trying to use her position within their company to get herself noticed so she could quit the job there. No, she loved her job, part of her goal in lie was now complete and she wasn't going to let that go. Not even with her being so young, partly why she didn’t want to jeopardize what she had managed to make her happy at such a young age.
