Sammi is about average height but slightly shorter which comes in handy when hiding- especially in trees! She has a slim body, but is slightly muscular, mostly in the arms from years of hunting and bow training and in her legs from running almost all her life.
Cloths. Sammi doesn't wear armor- she doesn't feel she has much use for it, since she is agile and most times can dodge attacks. She usually wears a short sleeved top, paired with a mini skirt and shorts on occasion and a small belt. The shirt and skirt are both usually white or silver and the shorts are purple. She also has taught herself the skill of camouflage, in which she mastered so she can sometimes be seen posing as a bush or concealed in a tree:) She also wears white or silver knee high boots. She always carries her bow and quiver of arrows.
Personality: Sammi is mainly known for her optimism, even during hard times. Though needing support her and her father (explained in the story) she always dreamed of traveling and exploring the world. She also tries to help whoever she can. Sammi works hard at everything she does, and always gives her all, making her a valuable opponent.
Born in: Ilia
Story: Her mother, Noelle Harkinian, was a famous huntress and her father, Alan Harkinian, worked as construction worker. They lived in a small village in Ilia near the woods. Noelle died in labor, giving life to her only daughter, Sammi, so Sammi was raised by her father who promised her that she would be happy. Then six years later, her father went to a foreign country to rebuild houses in a country that had just received a huge earthquake and caught a disease. He fell very ill and healers were doing their best to to keep him alive. He couldn't provide for him and Sammi, so she went into the woods to hunt. Although she didn't have any experience, she was able to kill a few animals with her fathers knife. Although she hunted as often as she could, using the knife didn't allow her to catch enough game and they were running out of food and money. Then one day Sammi was looking around her house and found a bow and quiver of arrows hidden in her fathers room with a note that said "save for Sammi. She might find that these come in handy". She wanted to believe it was from her mother from before she was even born and even thought about asking her father about it, but knew that talking about her mother was a rough subject, especially since her dad was sick. Instead she took the bow and arrows and used those for hunting. She had never used a bow and arrow before, but when she hunted with it, she realized she had a natural talent for it.The years that followed she brought in tons of game and was able to feed her and her dad and trade in the rest to take care of both of them. However, when she was ten, her father's illness became to great and when Sammi was out hunting, she returned to hear that her father had passed. She felt lost without him because he really did love her, but even though she was mourning, she had to pull through and take care of herself. She spent the next two years living in her old house, still trying to pay for it with her game and was doing fairly well on her own. One day she was in the woods when she heard someone coming. She hid up in a tree when she heard a noise. An arrow whizzed past her, buy she couldn't figure out where it came from.
Then she saw a person come out and catch the deer that had apparently been shot. Sammi felt jealous because she had never shot a deer and the person who had shot it must have done it from a long distance. She tried to hide herself in the leaves but it was no use. "I know you're up there!" said the man pulling back the leaves from the tree. He was surprised to see a twelve year old girl hiding in a tree with a bow and arrow. "Do you hunt?" he asked. "Yes", she replied shyly. "Don't worry about me then unless I stole your game", be laughed. Sammi wanted to reply but couldn't. She didn't know what to say. She didn't know what to think of this man but he seemed kind enough. "No I've tried catching a deer before, but I never had any luck," said Sammi. "So you're not stealing my game." He laughed and told her "Well I've had years of training so I should be good." "Well this is pretty much what I survive on," said Sammi but remembered she didn't want to talk about that. The man didn't say anything but gave her a look which meant he wanted to know more. "My dad and mom are both dead," she said quietly. "And so I rely on whatever I can catch as my food and sometimes I trade it." He just gave her a sympathetic look and told her, "Well I've seen you here before and you are pretty good. But you do need a little more training. I can train you if you want." Sammi was really excited to hear that. "I'd love that but can I travel with you?" she said. "Paying the rent for my dad's old place is too much for me." "Sure," he said. "I'd be glad to." And with that Sammi trained with the bow and became good enough to use it not just for hunting, but as a weapon. Ever since she has been traveling and becoming stronger.
