β Appearance βSami generally doesnβt want to stand out in a crowd and is quite happy to blend in. He dresses casually in jeans and long sleeve t-shirts, always adorned either by a flannel shirt or his old battered leather jacket.
He isnβt the tallest guy in the world, standing at an average 5β9 but he is quite stocky in his build and has been known to be in pretty good shape (Mr Delaney keeps asking him to join in on the team sports). Thanks to a fair few back-alley scraps, Sami is known as a bit of a tough guy even though heβs actually as sweet as apple pie. These fights have left him with a couple of scars on his face but none too noticeable. People tend not to be surprised though when Sami comes to school with a black eye and a burst lip.
β Personality β The Negative:- Secretive
- Hot tempered
- Nosy
What You See:
Sam is quite the enigmatic soul and he is very well-aware of that fact. He likes his own company a lot of the time but he does wish to surround himself by friends. Sam is fiercely intelligent but does not apply himself to things he doesnβt care aboutβ¦like math, fuck math brother. Sam is the type of guy who likes to just hang back and let the world turn, only really stepping in when someone needs a helping hand. He canβt help but involve himself in other peopleβs business however because he just wants everyone to get along. He is prone to solving problems with his fists, something his long suffering mother despises and despite his lovely demeanour, some of Westworthβs senior citizens donβt want their kids hanging around with βthat Mexican kidβ because heβs all trouble.
What I Know:
Sam tries not to hide himself from other people but he tends to struggle to open up to anyone, instead focusing his energies on helping others rather than helping himself. He feels he is tough enough to carry the weight of the world himself and not share the burden which gives him a world weariness almost beyond his years. Sam is the type of cat who will watch two people from afar and be wise enough to know that they are destined to love each other, even though he craves someone to love himself as he is a bit of a romantic at heart. Sam has a tendency to be blunt when dishing out his advice and it is not afraid to get confrontational when trying to help someone.

β Brief History βHow the Alejandro family made its way from the Dominican Republic to a small town in Colorado is anyoneβs guess. Itβs something they donβt talk about. All that is known is that Carla Alejandro turned up in Westworth with a baby about sixteen years ago and just never left. A few nice locals helped out Carla and her child by giving her work and shelter until she could afford her own place. Seeing his mother toil to keep a roof over their heads helped instil in Sami are drive to work as hard as he could to help. Whilst other kids were out playing games, Sam was working the paper-route or cutting grass and cleaning gutters; anything for that extra dollar to see them to the next day. This hadnβt stopped him however from making a few close friends.
None of his classmates ever looked at him any different than they shouldβve, as far as they were concerned Sam was just like them and for the most part he was. However; he was the kid from the wrong side of the tracks and he was Latino, my how the stereotypes mounted for young Sami and it left a bitter taste in his mouth and chip on his shoulder. He did not let this deter him however and for the most part he grew up a pretty well rounded and well-adjusted young man that most people tended to like. The major issue for Sami was letting people in. There was and still is a seemingly impenetrable wall around the young man. Many have sat and just watched him drift in and out of his own world, wondering what thoughts were racing behind his eyes. You have a problem? Sami would be the first one to help you out. Sami has a problem? No he doesnβt, heβs fine, donβt worry about him. He can handle it. It is somewhat worrying and only adds to the mystery of Sami Alejandro.
Other than the fighting, Sami never really was one for trouble. He buckled down and earned great grades, showing off quite a high IQ in spite of his somewhat stunted upbringing. He even found time to tutor for a while (and still does occasionally). He adores animals, seeing them as kindred spirits.
Often, Sami has the tendency to disappear. One evening he will just pack a bag and head up a mountain and stay there for days just to clear his head. His mother has come to terms with this but it doesnβt stop her worrying. Sam is pretty much a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, adorned in a leather jacket with perfect hair. No one has truly yet got close enough to even start to figure him out, some people donβt even want to as in the end, all anyone really needs to know is that whoever you are, whatever youβve done βSamiβs got your backβ.
