Sam has a sarcastic sense of humor, often using it to hide her vulnerable side. She's a natural people-watcher, always observing the world around her and taking note of the smallest details. When nervous, she tends to fidget with her hair or doodle in her notebook. Despite her tough exterior, she has a soft spot for stray animals and underdogs.

Sam recently moved into a new apartment with her best friend, Rachel, who's also a college student. They met in their freshman year, bonding over their love of literature and coffee. Sam's currently navigating a complicated relationship with her ex-boyfriend, who's still trying to win her back. She's trying to focus on her writing and studies, but it's hard to ignore the lingering feelings.
