she's samantha 'sam' barnes, born and raised in the bronx. her dad has been in jail since she was a kid and she was raised by her mother, who only recently got remarried. she's hard-working, driven, opinionated, and puts on a tough as nails persona because she's terrible at expressing her feelings or being vulnerable. she can be a little abrasive but she's a good friend and loyal as hell, the type to do anything for the people she cares about. i'm still deciding on her age and job because i can't decide if i want to make her 22 and a nursing student or 24 and an actual nurse.
but i could really use anything and everything for her - a best friend, roommates, friends, classmates (or former classmates if i age her up) from nyu, anyone she knows from growing up in the bronx, or whatever else we can think up.
