She can play or use and instrument, like her voice, to calm people or animals down, no matter how they are feeling. She mostly uses her singing, but will use whatever she can. She has been able to do this since she was a little girl. She can now even use whistling if needed. It doesn't matter which song is being played, as long as she has the intent to calm down. Otherwise, her normal singing/ playing of instruments cause no effect.

Biography:[/color] Samantha was born in New York, to immigrant parents. Her mother was from England, and her father from German. Both had fled to America during the early years of the war, and her father barely spoke English. However, they were married within five months of meeting each other, and shortly after had Samantha. 

Due to her mixed heritage, Samantha spoke three languages in her house, English, German and Hebrew. She started dancing when she was young, and also singing. As she grew older, she stared in on learning the piano from her mother, and violin from her father. She also devoutly went to temple, Sunday School and Hebrew school up until she was thirteen. 

By this point, Samantha was well aware of her powers, and was trying her best to hide them, only pulling them out if her parents started fighting. Then one day she got a letter. She had been accepted to the prestigious Northwood Acadamy. Her parents worried about sending their oldest child away, since they did have two others to worry about. Also, it wasn't easy for two working immigrants to find the funds to send their child to Northwood. However, strings were pulled and Samantha went to Northwood for all four years and then graduated. 

After that, she went to Juillard for college, working on her dancing, singing and music. She injured herself during her last year, making dancing professionally a career she could no longer pursue. She changed gears after that, and went for her teaching certificate. It was there she met her husband, and got married to him three years later. 

After she finished her teaching certificate, the Headmistress of Northwood got in contact with her. Samantha's teacher had retired, and would Samantha like the job of teaching Theater and Music. Samantha agreed, since dancing and teaching it was out of the question, and she had some experience with acting. She was use to giving and taking direction for sure. She and her husband packed up and moved to Colorado, and Samantha has been teaching at Northwood for the past few years. She and her husband live in Belleville, as opposed to her living on campus with the rest of the teachers. 

[color=ed1c24]Personality:[/color] Samantha is a very open person. She takes many of the music students under her wing happily, and wishes to help them improve. She tries not to pick favorites, but she has a few, mostly in the choir section. However, she does love some of the ones band as well. She does try not to make her favorites obvious. 

She is also relatively secretive at times. She is one of the people that is aware of the students and their powers, but keeps it under wrap. She does also keep trying to dance, even if it isn't recommended. 

Most of her students know where to find her and that she is always open to them, and if they want to practice.
