Appearance:
Hair. One of the things most girl always make sure looks nice. Though, Samantha's hair is unlike many. As odd as it sounds, Samantha's hair looks different colors, according to the season. Around winter and fall, it looks like a dark brown color. Sometimes close enough to look like black. And for the spring and summer? It looks much lighter, and if the sunlight is bright for at least five days in a row, Samantha's hair may go into a change where her hair looks blonde. Sometimes it looks very blonde, though sometimes it looks like a dirty blonde or light brown. Her hair is put in many different styles. It may be straight one day, curled the next, and maybe the next day, in some kind of new hair style. Yes, Samantha's hair varies so that she doesn't really need to dye it, but the style is all up to her.
Much like her hair, Samantha's face is also different. No, her eyes don't change colors. And no, none of her features look different during a certain time of the year. Samantha's face is just different from many women. It's a unique look that makes her beautiful. She's a mix, that's for sure, since her parents are also a mix of different races. But who cares? All high school really cares about is the cliques. Samantha has her ears pierced, like most girls do. Her eyes are brown, and she doesn't wear any contacts or glasses - Not including sunglasses. Samantha has a nose that fits her face and as for her lips, their medium sized. Usually covered with lip gloss and sometimes busy with a guy's lips. That is if they are lucky enough or good enough to impress this girl.
Good shape. With everything she does Samantha has a very nice body. Her weight is unknown, since she doesn't really care much about it. As long as she doesn't look fat, or too skinny, Samantha doesn't check her weight. she has a good diet, though she met lack some healthy food sometimes. Maybe eat more junk food than usual, but it doesn't matter. Samantha will just lose weight if she has too - eventually. She won't try to, it will just happen since Samantha is usually running somewhere. And her home is pretty big so going back and forth may help her lose a few pounds. Simply, weight doesn't matter. Samantha's not short, standing at five feet and six inches. Though, she isn't the tallest girl ever seen at the school. Her belly button is pierced. She usually goes to the beach which is how she got her tan.
Samantha may be a dork, but she doesn't dress like one. Fashion is her thing, and she only learned more from Brianna. Shopping helps and it's even better with all the money she has from her new father. Samantha used to be a little under average with money in her family. But her mother had gotten a new job, after her parents got divorced, and remarried. Now, with her step-father's money, Samantha can buy all the clothes she wants, shoes she adores, maybe some jewelery and more accessories. She mixes and matches her clothes, and sometimes gets the chance to design her own. [Courtesy of her step father's money] Usually, though, Samantha doesn't go shopping, since she has her work. And if she does, Samantha rarely spends a lot of money - using it wisely.
Personality:
Kay, the smart girl always seems to be the shy type. Okay, not always, but Samantha is. She doesn't really care if some guy likes her, because she would probably be too scared to go out with them. Let alone, like them back. Samantha thinks that guys only like her because of the way she looks, so Samantha isn't exactly the 'easy' type. She doesn't just hook-up with you right away. She needs time, and likes committed relationships - something not every guy likes to have. It's hard for her to get a boyfriend, let alone friends, because Samantha is scared that nobody would like her. Maybe because she smart, but Samantha is scared that they would make fun of her. Something she wouldn't like, since not many people liked to get teased.
Like mentioned before, Samantha is a intelligent girl. She does all her work, and it's always studying and doing work before partying. Usually, though, Samantha doesn't go to parties, usually, just hanging out with her friends, in less wild places. Samantha usually doesn't drink, and she never got high - and she doesn't plan to. She like your miss goody two shoes kind of girl, but isn't exactly as annoying. Responsible, yes. But being the new girl at Valkyrie, doesn't help her much. The teachers don't know anything about her, and people just treat her like a nobody. So, no friends, really, so all Samantha could do was study, do chores, and work.
If you can get into her circle of trust, Samantha is a fun girl. She try new things if you want to hang out. Though, Samantha won't really go to all the latest parties - she's not that kind of girl. Samantha will laugh with you, and if you're feeling sad, try to cheer you up. She is like most girls, loves shopping and going to the movies. Samantha we'll do makeovers if you convince her too and maybe she'll even have her own sleepover with her friends. But no parties. Okay, maybe some parties but not getting drunk or getting high. Samantha might go to does parties, but doesn't get drunk......usually. Just get on her good side and life will be slightly easier.
Everyone has flaws and they are usually only a few of them, but they are big. As for Samantha, it's the opposite. She has small flaws, but she has lots of them. If Samantha meets a guy she likes, for the first time, she gets nervous and sometimes snorts when she laughs. Sometimes Samantha can be clumsy which isn't good at all. If someone makes fun of her? Well, Samantha doesn't have many comebacks. Let me revise that - no comebacks. Samantha notices her own flaws, and she hates herself because she hates her flaw. Samantha also hates the way she looks, thinking guys only like her because of her appearance instead of her personality. Sensitive and shy is what Samantha can be too. Flaws are just want make her who she is.

History:
Born in Riverside, California, Samantha grew up as an only child, but she had her parents. Her life was sweet, her parents caring for her, loving her too. Samantha would play with her mother and father all the time. They usually went to all her school things, and whatnot, since they didn't want to miss much of her childhood. Arianna had poor parents. Her father as simple business man, her mother as a housewife. When she was little, her father didn't do his jobs as much, and would spend time with their children. But things started to change as Samantha grew older.
Her father worked as a lawyer, his mom becoming a nurse. They would fight constantly, and act like they were a happy family in front of Samantha. But Samantha grew older, and she wasn't a gullible little girl. One night, she was going downstairs to ask her parents about a project, just to overhear them talking. More like shouting. She didn't hear much just stuff like "What did I ever do to you?" and of course the "Why did I ever marry you?". Samantha pretended like she didn't hear, and just continued and talked to them. They stopped, thinking she didn't hear - thinking that Samantha was still that little girl. But she was eleven years old - not that dumb.
Growing into her teen years didn't get any easier. Her father was still a lawyer, her mother something different. Her mom was a stripper. Samantha was so mad the first time she found out (But of course they didn't tell her). Then when her parents figured out that she was finally a teenager that understood more than they did, they just didn't hide much. The fights and arguments would be in front of her face. Her mother even tried to convince Samantha to become a stripper as her carrer. Her reason? "Because the guys would like it". Of course, Samantha never listen to her mother.
Keeping her grades up during her years, weren't easy, but she managed to do it. Labels - oh she hated them so much. 'The Smartest girl in Class' for elementary school, even if she wasn't. It was so annoying and for middle school 'The Pretty Nerd'. Samantha got so frustrated through her life, but acted like everything was okay. But, before she knew it, her parents had made a decision they thought Samantha could finally handle. Theye were getting divorced. It was easy for her, but Samantha would get through it. Sometimes she would cry herself to sleep, and the thing was, she lived with her mom. The stripper.
Soon enough, her mother met a guy at some club. Weird, huh? Not really. But they got married, and Brianna had two siblings. So much for being an only child. Her new step-brother was living with his father, so they weren't really related. But Samantha had a new sister, about her age, named Brianna. Of course, she had to move, and it wasn't a big ball of fun. Now, starting a new school, Samantha hopes to make some friends, and get rid of her labels. Oh yeah, and not get a job like her mother. It's a new school, in the middle of a year. This should be oodles of fun....

Roleplaying Sample:
What had Brianna been thinking when she had called Sylar? Well, a lot of things actually. Afterall, the girl had just gotten off the phone with Jason so why wouldn't she be thinking about a lot? There was so much going on in her mind and now when she thought about it, Brianna honestly couldn't think of a real good reason why she called Sylar. Sure, it seemed like a good idea when Brianna came up with some stupid reason, but now that stupid reason sounded stupid. Yeah, you wanted Sylar to be there just in case Jason did something. Brianna thought to herself, but what the hell could Sylar do? He probably wouldn't care since Jason was here in the first place and it wasn't like Brianna could lie to Jason.[/center][/blockquote]
And now, she was past feeling guilty and wondering what to do. Jason was already here, saying things to Jason. What was Brianna suppose to say? "Shut up Jason!" Yeah right. That would only make him think that Brianna liked Sylar and she only liked him as a friend. And that's just what he was. A friend. Was that too hard to believe? Apparently. Brianna felt like it was her fault why Jason was saying things to Sylar. None of this would have happened if she didn't call him. Actually, it still might have occured but maybe Brianna shouldn't have gotten involved with Sylar. Why'd you have to be born, Brianna? She asked herself. Okay, now this was just plain out pathetic. Brianna was not wondering why she had to be born. That's when you know that this isn't turning out well.
Although it didn't help much, when Sylar said that he could never hate her, it made her feel better. At least that part was okay. Maybe Sylar didn't hate her but he would still most likely be mad or angry at Brianna. She was the one that dragged him into this shit anyways. She could have let him just do whatever he wanted to do but, no. Brianna just had to make him suffer with her. What kind of friend was she? A horrible one. Brianna thought to herself. She loved the feeling of Jason right next to her but at this current moment, the girl couldn't cherish it. There was too much going on and she knew Sylar was going to say it anytime. He was going to say that Brianna invited him and then Brianna was done for.
And then he said it. No surprise. Brianna closed her eyes for a second took a breath and listened to Jason. Here was the 'done for' part. Even though he was still looking at her as he stood up, Brianna couldn't look Jason in the eye. She felt like crying but it felt like she had no tears left. Brianna had the sick feeling inside of her but nothing came out of her eyes. She just simply looked like she was about to cry, but somehow Brianna didn't. All this time she had been trying to stay strong but couldn't. Like that phone call she had with Jason. The girl tried to stay strong but couldn't. Now, she didn't care if she was going to be strong, and no tears. It was really weird how things happened when it was necessary.
It was so hard to listen to Jason. She wanted to just not listen, but couldn't stop. And then Sylar was also here. Great. Now they had someone that witnessed it all. This was just bad. And when Jason said that he gave her twenty seconds she just didn't know where to start. What was she suppose to say anyways? "I..I.." Brianna said but she didn't finish the sentence. About fifteen seconds left. Brianna was about to say, "I don't know" but she couldn't say that. She just needed two more seconds to take in everything Jason said. He would forget her. Forget the thing he had for her. Wait a minute..What thing? Brianna didn't think about for too long. And for some reason, all of a sudden she felt confident.
Brianna stood up facing Jason, hands on hips. "You know what Jason? Yeah, I called him." She started just so he knew that Sylar wasn't lying. Brianna had dragged him into enough things already. "And you want me to explain? When did I have to explain every part of my life to you? Sylar is a friend, but you don't seem to understand that." Brianna paused for a second, and then continued. "Did you explain to me why you were all over that woman at the Cotillion Ball? Did you explain to me why you almost raped Daphne?" Her voice got harsher. "Did you explain to me why you just yelled at me over the phone and left Valkyrie? No. So why should I have to tell you anything? It's not like I'm dating Xavier or anything!"
"You know what Jason? If you want, forget me. See if I care. I was fine when you were out of this town, wasn't I? So do what you want and I'll live my life." Did she just say all of that? Yeah, pretty much. The last part about Jason forgetting her was a lie. She didn't want him to forget her and if he did, Brianna would be crushed. But if this was how they would be all the time, she was done.
