Samara, long for Sam, is a charismatic sweet-talker. She's kind, friendly and will always give you a smile. She can be a little cheeky and sassy but that's just playful banter, right? Wait, her brother isn't dying of an illness he caught while on Airi Island? And her parents haven't recently been killed by roving bandits? Wait, where did my wallet go? Huh, Sam is running away towards the city gates.

Yes, Samara is a con, a cheat, and a thief. If she needs something she'd prefer to spend someone else's money. Bonus points if the shmuck has a few naughty vices. She doesn't merely steal for herself, though. She herself was an orphan for as long as she knew. In the big city, the only person who'd look after a parentless child is a fellow orphan. As she grew up she saw the older kids as true heroes. Not those annoying, haughty knights in shiny armor with fancy words who looked down their noses at people like her. The real heroes were those who got their hands dirty. Didn't care what the masses thought about them and they got their reward from those other than the ones they helped.

Once she was old enough she sought to be like them. So, she tends to look out for the little guy and those who also care for them. Like Kavius who she owes her life to. She looks up to him because for all she knew he had no reason to help. She was already a traveler like him so why not travel with him. Since he tended to get into fights much more often than she ever did, Sam decided to put her skills to task and learn how to fight as well. From a distance. Can't rough up her visage more than it already has been.[/hider]

[hider=History]
[color=2e2c2c]o[/color]
Samara was born in a place that she would never know. To people, she would never meet. At a time she'd never remember. Her earliest memory was being carried by an older orphan to a hideout that the various street rats of the big city had been squatting in. She grew up being looked after by kids and teens who either lived the exact same story as she or very similar. For her early days, life was a blur and it all melded together. She ate, slept, and was occasionally taught by the older kids various things she may need to know to survive.

One day, a famous knight was said to be coming into town after slaying a powerful monster. She along with a few of the younger kids went to see this unusual sight. The man had cheers heaped upon him and his equipment gleamed as bright as the sun. There was not a speck of dirt upon any part of his being. She and the other kids wanted to get a closer look so they slowly worked their way towards the front. One of the kids happened to notice how little the crowd was paying attention to their coin-purses. He along with some others began taking the unsuspecting people's money. However, as Sam got to the front of the crowd someone in the crowd noticed what was happening and a panic occurred. Unfortunately for Sam, She and some of the kids got knocked over right into the path of the knight. Even worse one of the kids had been one of the few stealing money and she dropped it all so that it was impossible for any conclusion other than these street rats had been stealing to be made. Sam looked up from her prone position just to see the 'wonderful' knight looking down his nose at the unfortunate children with contempt.

Unsure of what was happening and having an angry crowd surrounding them the children bolted in different directions. Samara ran and ran until she neared her vagabond home. When she got there the situation was very clear. Some of the other kids must have incidentally led others back there as Samara had to watch the teenagers and a few of the older kids be taken off like thugs. The next few years were like limbo for Sam. She drifted from abandoned places to hidden away hovel searching for a source of food everywhere she went. She learned many skills she wouldn't have had otherwise the primary one being how to lie. To trick. To influence. To con people out of their own belongings willingly. It became easy. Like second nature. She got better as she aged. She was eventually doing pretty well for herself by her mid teen's. She had grown to distrust the people who had it easy or looked down on people who had an unfortunate circumstance rule their life. She wanted to be a true hero. Someone who helped those who had nothing to lose by taking from those who had everything to give. Bonus points if they are not a good person.

Unfortunately, the young con artist got a little cocky. Her actions started catching up to her and eventually, she got run out of the city. There would be no opportunity for her to sneak back into the city as her face was soon well known to the guards as to be arrested on sight. Samara had to run. She would take this unfortunate situation and help the less fortunate in other locations. That wasn't as easy as she expected it to be. There were so many in the big city that she could con one person but the person who lived right down the street would never know. However, in much smaller towns where word spread quicker than the common cold she'd only be able to get some money from those people before being chased away.

Throughout her travels she eventually found herself becoming a stowaway to Airi Island. Less laws meant she'd be able to get away with thieving much easier right? Yes and no. She didn't have as many people who'd hunt her down for stealing from some shmuck but those that did were similar to her in that they weren't exactly against committing crimes. This fact soon caught her in a bind as one day she found herself near starvation due to very low funds. So, she got desperate and spent a day doing tricks to get money out of people. Near the end of the day she saw a group of men who'd been by her 'game' a few hours earlier along with a new man. None of them looked pleased. Let's just say they knew she was cheating and were not about to let her get away with it. Sam tried to placate them but realizing they weren't going to back down she bolted in hopes of escaping their ire.

She ended up finding herself running into a dead-end with the men right behind her. It was not the kind of place she could get out of on her own. Trying to talk them down she soon found that they had no intention to let her walk away. Skipping to a minute later during a beating a man happened upon the alleyway and quickly dealt with the men who had stayed behind to beat the girl. He easily sent them home with their tails between their legs. Unfortunately, all the money she had gathered along with what little she already had beforehand had already been taken by the boss of the small crew. Despite the swollen left eye and blackened right eye, she could tell the man was holding his hand out to help her up. She warily took the hand but when he offered to get her a meal she backed away. What was she up to? She thought. But the growl in her stomach forced her to follow anyway. During the course of the meal which had been grander than any she had ever had before, she realized that he likely wasn't a bad person. Not like the thugs or her. He was just an idiot who threw himself into a fight to save someone he didn't know. Reminded her of the older teens from when she was young. He'd be such an easy mark. If she wouldn't have felt guilty doing it she may have tried to get some extra money out of him. But she realized that if she really wanted to be a hero that following him might help her accomplish this goal. She also wanted to repay him somehow. So, despite not offering she chose to follow him, for now at least. It seemed to not be that big a deal to him but she would repay him for saving her.
