[u][b]Biography[/b][/u]

Samira has spent more time traveling the world than most people ever get the opportunity to do. Her father is one of Wakanda's diplomats. In the back of her memories she remembers running around their apartment as a child. Or rather, tumbling her way through the apartment. Her father recognized her energy and interest and enrolled her in gymnastics when she was 3. The more she learned, the more she brought home with her. He didn't even bother telling Samira to stop jumping off the couch anymore. The little girl would simply insist that she was practicing.

She moved out of Wakanda shortly after that, when her father got his first assignment. Living in Washington, D.C. was an adjustment for her. She had to learn an entirely new language and basically start her life over. Her dad tried to make the transition as smooth as possible. He found her a gymnastics coach and enrolled her in the best private schools. This rotation continued on throughout her life every couple of years. After D.C. they spent time in Beijing, Moscow, then Paris. Moving so often allowed her to become fluent in multiple languages.

In high school Samira hit a growth spurt. Suddenly the short, skinny girl was tall and lanky. With the extra inches she found it far more difficult to maintain her center of gravity in a back hand spring and switched from gymnastics to fencing and dance. Academically, she never had any problems in school. Her costly education providing just another advantage to the young woman. But she worked hard. Whenever she had spare time she would spend it with her father, Enitan, in his office. He would quiz her on current events and her possible solutions to put practical use to the political classes she took in school.

Enitan and Samira were joined at the hip. A father-daughter duo that exhibited poise, generosity, and warmth wherever they went. Samira was always grateful to have her dad around because he was the only family she had. An only child and a mother who abandoned her as a baby, she cherished each second she had with her father.

As she got older she began looking for her own challenges in life. So she made a plan. She finished her finals in Paris and flew with her father straight to New York. She wanted one summer of fun before she started at Columbia in the fall. She couldn't be more excited knowing that her flight lands on July 3rd giving her just enough time to get over the jet lag before watching the fireworks.
