Name: Samantha "Sam" Howard
Age: 17
Trainer Class: Trainer
Appearance: Sam is at an average height and but she's a little thinner than most girls her age. Samantha has blue eyes and black hair, but she likes to put it up in different hairstyles and change her look constantly. Sometimes she'll put on glasses instead of her contacts, and try to even color or highlight her hair a weird color; just for the heck of it. Sam usually wears pants and shorts, but sometimes she'll put on a skirt if she wants to feel cuter? She has a few insecurities about herself that she's working on. Sam likes to stay active, so she's fit to some degree, even though there is always room for improvement.
Personality: Samantha is a very ambitious and curious person. She's always asking questions when they needed to be asked, even when they don't. When she wants something, she goes out and gets it. Sam sets her goals and sticks to them until they are achieved, or need to be altered in any way. She has a kind spirit, so she's naturally nice and cordial to total strangers, unless treated badly. Then she can be your worst nightmare. Samantha hates when people make fun of her for anything or try and be mean to her; because it only puts her in a bad mood for the majority of the day, even if it does urge her to push harder and become the best of the best.
Samantha is brave, strong, smart, yet gentle and kind. She believes in ultimate peace and hopes one day everyone can coexist together with pokemon, peacefully. Samantha dislikes stuck-ups, rude people, misbehaved pokemon, and being underestimated. She likes having fun, pokemon, boys, and becoming greater than all of her competition. She enjoys when things go as planned and when they don't...; well that never happens. In order to stay sane, she likes taking up different activities, including instruments or certain skills like cooking. Samantha is okay in most things, but not great at anything; except thinking.
History:Samantha grew up in a small, quiet home. She was taught at an early age how to read and write, so she got to skip a grade during her school days. Her father worked on most days in the pokemon lab, and her mother stayed home and ran a small health clinic for people and pokemon out of their home. This gave Samantha tons of hands-on experience with pokemon, but she wasn't able to go out and explore with them. Samantha's an only child, but her cousin, Alaska, stayed with them regularly so she experienced the feeling of a "sister". The two were very close, and while Samantha was a lot smarter than Alaska book-wise, the other girl was clever with her hands and persuasion. Samantha lived a pretty determined life though, because she always liked going outside and play or help her mom take care of a pokemon.
As she grew, her father became more strict even though he nothing to worry about as far as her romantic life. She did have a couple of secret boyfriends, but they began to gradually stop talking to her as she became more advanced in learning. Finally, school took over so she was labeled as the "smart chick" graduated at the top of her class, and left with little friends. At the age now, Samantha just wants to not focus on learning anymore and try to have fun. She likes to come up with different strategies, but hasn't had a chance to use them until now. Until she finally gets to leave the nest and go on her journey!
