Appearance
Full-body picture of Samantha.
Samantha resembles Carly greatly. She has long black hair that is trimmed with small spikes, and purple eyes. She wears a white trench coat with cobalt blue pads on elbows and shoulders, a dull-yellow shirt, black biker shorts, and orange boots. She also carries glasses, small triangular earrings, and a tiny pink stone pendant.
Personality
Samantha is a very proud, cocky, and confident girl, believing that since her father used to be King of Games in his youth, she has to be too. Due to this, she developed a strong rivarly with the child of the current champion (Nathan Fudo in 5D's and Runo ARC-V). However, when not feuding over Dueling matters, she can be pretty nice and friendly, and sometimes even has her dorky moments. She also is very affectionate with her parents.
History
Samantha first officially appeared in Child of Synchro. She was trying her new Duel Runner since she has just passed the junior riding test, however she happened to meet her friends Runo and Chase on a road testing her own Runner, which she had built in the past months together with her parents. After a short argument, the two rival girls challenged each other to a Turbo Duel, with Chase reluctantly pulled along as Runo forgot about him in the heat of the moment. Throughout the Duel Sam repeatedly cornered Runo, until she finished her by revealing a Double Tuning Synchro Monster much to everyone's shock. She then received the congratulations of her father for winning and shook Runo's hand in respect, promising her to set the score in the next Friendship Cup.
Relationships
Runo
Chase, Runo, and Sam.
Runo and Sam are fierce rivals. They met as little kids at a Friendship Cup where Yuya (as Yugo) and Jack were competing again for the title of the City's King, and got themselves in a argument about who would win. Ever since then, they never lose an occasion to Duel in order to establish which family's stonger. Despite this, they don't hate each other, instead gradually realizing they respect one another.
Deck
Samantha uses a "Chaos Priestess" Deck, made up of Synchro-supporting Spellcaster-Type monsters with a strong "LIGHT-DARK duality" theme. Her ace card is "Red Dragon Archfiend Lady", which she uses to symbolize (and flaunt around) her Atlas legacy.
