The Basics: Name: Samantha Grace Mercer. Nickname: Sam, Sammy. Birthdate: April 23, 1986 Birthplace: Hospital in Surrey. Work/Schooling: Hogwarts/Worked in the Ministry for a bit but hasn't been back in a while though she wants to once she straightens things out. Family: Half-Blood. Mother: Caroline Mercer. Father: *Stepfather* Ross Mercer. Siblings: Alec Mercer (stepbrother, 15). Extended Family: Daughter--Katherine "Kitty" Morvanna. Father--Grant Thomas. Home: She has a flat in Surrey so she can stay close to her family. About the character Appearance: Sam is pretty much average height for her age even though she was small growing up. Her hair is blond and usually long depending on the mood she's in, but if she wants something different she'll just put it up. Even though she's a metamorphmagus she hasn't ever changed her hair, just her looks which she has changed a lot over the past few months. Her nails are never painted since she has the bad habit of biting them anyways, and makeup is usually kept to a minimum. Despite for the occasional day where she feels like dressing up she keeps her outfits casual with jeans and simple blouses, but normally she won't go out without some kind of pair of heels on. She has a few scars on her right wrist from a surgery done when she was eight (only done the muggle way as Ross wanted even though Caroline argued against it. Strengths: She's a pretty social person despite a few paranoid fears, but she likes to work by herself as she thinks she does better that way. She's ambitious when it comes to her job that she hopes to get back to soon, and she's fiercely protective of her family. Sam has changed though where she's not very trusting to much of anyone unless she has known them for a while. Otherwise she'll look up things about them in order to feel safe. Weaknesses: Sam most generally won't ask for help on anything because she likes to figure things out on her own. As overly chatty as she is she does tend to give away some things she shouldn't, and she's a bit paranoid as of late over the smallest of things. She keeps a lot to herself and deals with it on her own though it's starting to have a toll on her mentally. Magic wise she hasn't ever been that great with spells in general, but she still practices; she's more of a book work and paper work person so it can be done by hand. Sam's also the type to hold grudges even after it's all sorted out she has lot a lot of close friends do to that. Personality: (1 paragraph+) Sam's a closed off person about some things and other things she's overly open. When she gets nervous she'll talk a lot and thus she'll say things that should probably not be said; either personal or otherwise. She doesn't do well in groups and she likes to work on her own and she's certain she works better that way. At work she likes being in her own space and having her own time to get things done without a whole lot of pressure because she doesn't fair very well under pressure. Over the past few months she's become more paranoid than ever and she has several locks on the door to her flat as well as a muggle alarm system she talked Ross into helping her with. As another precaution she carries mace in her purse. Despite the few paranoid fears she does like to talk to people, she's just not as sure as to how to anymore. To be safe when she meets someone knew she'll usually use what Ministry access she has to look up the person and check who they are in order for her to feel safe. Sam likes to know how things work and she'll take apart things like watches or bigger things like a tv just to see how it works. Her newest thing is to try and put it all back together but that much she hasn't gotten right yet. She's one to keep things to herself and bottled up which hasn't done her any good mentally lately on top of everything else. She's a bit of a pack rat though and she has boxes upon boxes of things piled up in the extra bedroom in her flat as well as a pile of old and new Daily Prophet issues piled up in the living room. Hobbies: She likes learning how to take things apart and put them back together so she has a lot of mangled house-hold appliances around her flat. The more basic ones would be reading and she keeps a journal so she classifies that as writing for a hobby even she does miss writing a couple nights each week. Pet: N/A. Wand: 6 inch Mahogany though she has a tendency to either lose or break her wand so it changes. School: Hogwarts. House: Gryffindor. Short History of The Character: (minimum 2 paragraphs) Sam grew up in Surrey with her mother Caroline and her father Grant. Her father worked as a Auror while her mom stayed home to take care of her during the day while she then took night classes once Grant got home.When Sam was five though her parents divorced and holidays and birthdays were split between the two. She did like, however, being able to tell people at school that she had two homes. At least till she was older and really understood what it all meant. When she was seven Caroline met Ross who worked at a muggle hospital in London, and it wasn't long before he was spending more and more time at the house for dinner. It was only a few months later when the two got engaged, and Sam coped with it as best she could. She wasn't as beaten up over it as she had figured she should be, but she was still able to see her father on weekends so she didn't see how it was that awful. When she was eight she was playing with some of the neighborhood kids and ended up falling and breaking her wrist. Ross insisted to Caroline that they take her to London as he believed muggle procedures were better. Even though Sam's mom was reluctant to agree she eventually did and Sam ended up having surgery to repair the break. During the months she was stuck with a cast on, Ross started teaching her about potions; just the basics since she couldn't do magic yet. It gave them something to actually talk about. Up until the time Sam went to Hogwarts she spent every other weekend with her father and every other holiday and birthday with him. The others were spent at home with her mother and Ross who she was slowly accepting as a member of the family. The year before she went to school her father took her with him when he went to talk to a friend of his from years ago--Elizabeth Morvanna. While Sam was at the house she talked with Dante Cyrus and the two soon became friends. It was Liz who brought up the idea of a arranged married to Grant, and due to his own families beliefs he actually agreed to it. Neither Sam nor Dante, however, wanted anything to do with it as at that time they just wanted to be friends. Most weekends though were spent at the Morvanna's since Grant wanted to talk to Elizabeth and he was sure it would make Sam change her mind. At school it became apparent that spell work was not Sam's things. She'd either break something or not be able to do the spell at all. Most of those classes she ended up with low marks in but she still practiced during the week outside in order to attempt to get better. She was better at book work like essay's and such than anything even though she did fair better at potions thanks to Ross. On weekends she'd hang out in the common room with her friends and her and Dante would hang out at the Quidditch pitch. It wasn't until fourth year that the two actually decided to accept what their parents arranged and even though they were awkward about calling each other boyfriend/girlfriend, they actually became closer because of it. When they graduated was when Liz and Grant actually wanted them to marry since they figured eighteen was as good of a age as any. Sam, however, argued that if they wanted her and Dante to go through with any of it that they would do it on their own terms. They both wanted to wait till they were sure it was actually what they wanted. Liz and Grant weren't too disappointed as it was only the next year that they broke the news that they were engaged. Once Sam found out she was pregnant though at such a young age, she was absolutely terrified. She wasn't sure at all how Dante would react with both of their families still arguing *Caroline and Ross hadn't found out about it all till after the fact thanks to Grant*. She kept it a secret with glamour spells and lies about not feeling well. The distance she put between herself and Dante ended up with them breaking up and their engagement was called off. Sam went back to live with her parents as Grant refused to speak to her then, and it was only Ross and Caroline who knew about Katherine. Eventually she got her own place and when she got a letter supposedly from Dante wanting to talk, she of course went to do. Instead it was Ryder who attempted to murder her much to her surprise seeing as she had talked to him before at school and knew him from Ella. His excuse was a threat that Sam had made against Ella that Sam couldn't even recall ever saying. Despite his attempt he failed and Sam managed to survive though she was hospitalized for some time. It wasn't till she was out that she found out Kat was gone and that her parents didn't have her. She convinced herself that somehow Dante had found out and that he had her just to keep herself thinking positively, but after a while she just believed it. Since then Sam's been living in her flat with Kat's nursery locked. Up until now she's been too afraid to try and find Dante or Kat, but lately she's been doing research through the Ministry and attempting to find him. To keep herself safe she changed her looks just enough as she's still afraid of Ryder finding out she survived and coming back. Primary Character: Ella Cox. |
