His build is average with very little muscle definition, which causes his body to be softer looking. He has light skin that is very smooth and without blemishes. With a boyishly rounded face, he tends to look younger than his age. He keeps it cleanly shaved. Golden honey-colored eyes peer out from a sea of darkness created by his long bangs and black eyeliner. The eyeliner makes his eyes pop and draws attention to his indifferent gaze. It also hides the bags under Sam's eyes from the lack of sleep. Silky and straight black hair reaches down to the middle of Sam's back. There's a crimson streak of hair within the long bangs that hugs his left cheek. From the shine, even length, and lack of knots- Sam's hair is obviously well taken care of. It is often worn down with a variety of different hair clips pinned above his ear. A couple common hairclips are a skull and crossed bones and a pink heart-shaped ones. There are occasions when Sam pulls his hair into a high ponytail at the top of his head. Sam has adopted a gothic style of clothing, so his clothes are mainly black, leather, and tight-fitting. He does often wear dark red accessories as an accent as well. A typical outfit he wears is a black long-sleeved fishnet top underneath a black skull shirt, leather pants with red belts wrapping around his thighs, and tall belted leather boots. Due to the school dress code, he doesn't get to wear his preferred outfits all the time but will still accessorize with black fingerless gloves, tons of silver chains and belts around his waist and neck, and a spiked collar choker. Sam has multiple piercings in his ears and a nose ring that are all silver in color. Whenever he needs to carry a bunch of items around, he wears a leather single-strap bag that's black and red. [color=9e005d][b]Personality[/b][/color]: Sam gives off an insociable and tough first impression. Standing with his chest puffed out, arms crossed, and an unblinking glare- makes others think he is not one to mess with. That first instinct is not one to ignore. The teen absolutely refuses to sit down and push around by other people. He'll choose to leave the situation, most times, but there are times when he'll have some choice words. His words are blunt, sometimes cutting deeply without a care about how the other person may feel. He is often unsympathetic towards others' minor difficulties and complaints. Even when Sam isn't uncaring about something, he just depressingly states how harsh the situation is. He has a habit of judging others based on their first impression of him. Generally, Sam is neither hostile nor friendly. He won't suddenly bite someone's head off, but he won't attempt to make conversation either. The teen will respond when addressed but will typically keep to himself. Sam tends to have more snippy and sarcastic remarks, when he becomes annoyed. Deliberately, he will say things to invoke irritation in the other person. There will also be moments where Sam will add unneeded impolite commentary. And there are the rarer moments when he is tolerant of others. Although he still seems indifferent, he'll start a conversation without being prompted. Offer to help or listen if it's nothing too troublesome. He comes off as a very quiet acquaintance who is pleasant to hang out with. It isn't a friendship with Sam, just him being willing to minorly deal with someone. Sam is slow to fully warm up to others before putting them into the friend category. Rather than getting hurt by flighty friends, he simply doesn't make any. When deemed as a friend, Sam is an excellent one. No matter what is the problem, he willingly listens and even brainstorms ways to solve them. Troublesome things that he absolutely despises, he's willing to do for a friend. In friend groups, he is the leveled-headed, responsible one that always talks people out of doing stupid or reckless actions. Sam is truly a caring, loyal friend if one can breach his walls. The teen is generally not interested in love. Since his trust is a lengthy process to gain, most crushes on him don't last. Sam has never had that level of trust to be completely vulnerable to anyone other than family. That's not to say he doesn't find people cute or attractive. But his feelings haven't yet developed beyond that. Sam shows disinterest when directly flirted with. Sam is a pessimist that hardly ever sees a good outcome. Thus he never set his expectations too high and is not affected when things go wrong. Calm and collected in the direst situations, this helps him think and maybe find a solution. When others try to force their optimistic views on him, he finds it annoying. Which causes him to ignore it altogether or find flaws that could cause it to turn out badly. He doesn't dislike positive thinking; he just doesn't like to be told how to feel. Sam hates pretty much anything that tries to change him into something he's not. Sam likes to be by himself and just let his thoughts wander. While he cherishes his alone time, he tends to have fun whenever he hangs out with others. It's just that he gets worn out pretty fast being around a bunch of happy and hyper people. He absolutely loves flowers, cute things, and sweets- and he is not embarrassed to admit it. At the same time, he also really likes- gothic clothing, piercings, and chains, even though it create a bad image. Either way, Sam just stays true to himself- loving and doing whatever he wants without being restrained by other opinions. [color=9e005d][b]Backstory[/b][/color]: Floaroma Town, Sinnoh, is where Samuel was born. His parents were a carefree and lively couple who rarely considered the consequences of their actions. Despite their boisterous and cheery attitude, then son grew up as a quiet and serious kid that could take him of himself. His personality never brought any worries to his parents as he was a well-behaved even if wasn't very talkative. Unfortunately, kids his age saw him as eerily silent and unsociable, so Sam had no friends in his small hometown. He spent most of his free time sitting and taking in the sweet scent of flowers in the meadow north of the town. He had just turned seven when his parents' work moved them to Goldenrod City in Johto. Sam was also unpopular with his peers in this new city. Being used to having no friends, he was indifferent toward the treatment. When he started to get a taste for black and darker shades of gothic clothing, adults also began to think he was up to no good. What was unexpected was despite the many rumors about him being a troublemaker, a boy named Marquel began to approach Sam in a friendly manner. Having zero experience with kids his age being nice to him, the boy took a more defensive stance toward him. But even that didn't deter the stubborn boy. Although after their random meeting while he was visiting the local flower shop, the fact Marquel didn't find anything odd with it caused Sam warm up to him. Even though it seems one-sided on Marquel's side to others, to Sam, he was best friend. However, his parents were transferred to another region after only a little over two years. It hurt Sam a lot to leave behind the only friend he had ever made, but promised that no matter what they'll always be best friends. His parents were transferred two times before settling in Hau'oli City-Alola as their new home. The moving from place to place really jaded him to forming connections with others, since he could move at anytime and be forced to leave them behind. Even though Sam's gothic aesthetic taste in clothing clashed with the colorful Alola atomsphere, people here were actually quite friendly regardless. However, their overwhelming friendliness and generosity rubbed him the wrong way. It reminded him too much of Marquel, which still hurt a lot to separate from. So Sam found himself not getting close to anyone. Probably due to the birth of his twin brother and sister, his parents job stayed in Alola for longer than usual. Sam was around twelve at the time and would often venture out unsupervised into pokémon-infected areas without having a pokémon of his own. It wasn't that he didn't want a pokémon, just the pokémon selected for him didn't choose him back. Though he brushed it off it was actually a pretty big blow that not even pokémon wanted to be near him. He eventually found his favorite place on the island, Melemele Meadow. He would just sit there and take in the sweet scent of the yellow flowers. It reminded him of his hometown and Goldenrod city's flower shop, so it was relaxing. He would spend hours sitting there- from early morning to nightfall. It wasn't uncommon for a group of Cutiefly to flutter over him. One particular Cutiefly would always fly really close to him. He stood out from the group because the pokemon was a spot of pink upon the sea of yellow. After this happened so many times, it eventually just started perching on his head and going home with him. Manly the Cutiefly became his pokémon. With the tiny fairy bug by his side, his hardened exterior softened up. His defenses were still up, but it became more common to see his kinder side. With his more girlish liking of cute things, he would brighten up with his cute little pokémon of his. Most likely due to his Cutiefly's presence, teens his age began to approach and talk with him more. While he never truly bonded with another human in Alola, he could have conversations and had minor acquaintances. So much so, he was even a little sad leaving them when his family moved to the Paldea. Sam expected just another stop where he would occasionally meet kids around his neighborhood before having to move again. But this time, he found himself being enrolled in the Papas Academy where he would live in the dorms. He wasn't very excited about it, but he's finding some of his classes entertaining. Sam is trying his best not to get his hopes too high.

The bold little critter has no fear of standing up to beings over 100 times bigger than it. He doesn't prefer fighting but will definitely pick some when he feels insulted or people treat Sam rudely. When Manly isn't fluttering around flowers to gather pollen and nectar, he loves to perch on his trainer's head and observe his surroundings. The Cutiefly often tries to get Sam to be more sociable by going over to what he considers an acceptable human.
