Name: Samantha Cuyler King
Nicknames: Sam
Age: 24/850
Species: Vampires
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Asexual
Special Ability: She has the ability to block emotions. Like a switch (Vampire Daries-ish, I know. I never realized it until my friend told me). She can just not feel care for anyone or anything, or she feel like a normal human being- it's due to the fact that during her human years, she preferred not to care for anything, and the soon the trait was passed into her human life.
Current Dwelling: Port Angeles
Hair Description: Sam has lush brown hair. As a human, it was shiny, pretty, and often slightly curled and usually cascade down midway to her back. But as a vampire, she didn't care much for looking pretty, seeing that he has forever to change her style and put makeup on. But about two hundred years in as a vampire, she simply just put her hair into a sloppy bun (in some eras, as sloppy as possible without being hanged or something silly). In the twenty first century, the act of merely putting it into a very casual knot in the back of ones head became more fashionable and stylish.
Eye Description: As a vampire, a human-blood drinking vampire- she had the normal blood lust- ridden crimson eyes, as red as the liquid that she drinks. However as a human, she had dark, obscure brown eyes that shades her emotions and thoughts. They were as blank as a new, white canvas, and remained so until the day she died. It's a trait she has carried on into her vampire years.
Overall Appearance: Once human, Sam used to have a very sophisticated, elegant look to her. Once upon a time, looks were everything, being pretty and looking up to men was everything to gain status points- and because she loved the thought of being with her husband while green eyes stare at them as a couple. But that was too long ago, she doesn't care anymore- she's a vampire, and her looks became a little more rugged and hard. Sure, she is, undeniably beautiful and perfect in every way possible, but she is rarely seen in fitting dresses, if dresses at all. Now, the only clothes that she needs are really pants, shoes, and a shirt- she doesn't need it to be fancy, nor does it have to be colorful and in style- all it needs is to fit. However, she is a vampire, she needs to lure men or women out into the night for her to prey on, and wearing unflattering clothes these days would most certainly be unappealing to the humans that live in the world. So, even though she doesn't care much for it, she's seen in the most expensive, the most designer named brands on important days, and a shirt and jeans on other days. Hey, she's eight hundred, she had some money to spend- why not, if she's dressing up, dress up to the gold standard? And she has had those days where she looked like she had stepped out of someone's fantasy, while other days, she looks like a homeless crack-addicted, alcoholic living in the streets.
Eight hundred years ago, the average height wasn't exactly the same as it is in the twenty first century. Putting that aside, she stands at a short (but intimidating) height of five feet four inches. She has a small, petite form. There are some definite shapes to her body just proportionate to her size, but other then that, she's not particularly that noticeable when it comes to her body. Had it not been for her face, hair and slender limbs, if she wore baggy clothing, it made her seem shapeless and almost like a boy. Despite the small stature, her kohl-rimmed eyes and fierce face makes up for the height requirement, making her seem unapproachable (though for some, it doesn't stop them, who would have though the woman had power behind those fragile-looking wrist and small arms?).
She has an angular face- stripped of any baby fat that could possibly be there. Her lips are a little thin, almost always twisted into a scowl, or a cheeky smirk that could make one's skin crawl. Her eyes are wide and cat-like, sharp, calculating and dark, closed off. The only makeup she really enjoys wearing is eyeliner and sometimes black eyeshadow.

History:
Sam was born has the lucky other half of aristocrats that lived in England during the eleventh century, the other half? Not so lucky and rich. Her parents were some of the few who scoffed at them- mostly her mother- to which she had received much from- from her eyes, her lips, nose, small structure and cold demeanor. Their line had come from France, the root still strong in Sam today. They occupied a manor near the waters for trade, and their wealth had certainly not gone unnoticed; however it had proved to be quite a problem in the future with assessments, but that really has nothing to do with Sam, who seemed to never had a compassionate bone in her body to care about what happens to her family as long as she remained safe.
Anyways- as a child, she was just a body of trouble. She wasn't exactly raised to think that she should care for the poor in the least. She, a 'faithful' (once upon a time she was) Christan, went to church, and despite all the talk about treating others as they wanted to be treated- the idea of it never followed through, sometimes bodies of the dying were in the darker streets of town, and even as an aristocrat, cleanliness only went so far. She had to care for herself, not other people. Trade, at the time, was a big deal to the people, and most of her family were merchants. Being a woman, however, also played a role in her development- she hated the thought of having to sit in the kitchen and merely work and be a trophy wife for others to gawk at. She knew the punishment for anything less then staying faithful to her father. While her father pranced about with as many women as he wanted- people around him joked and laughed at his debauchery, while if a woman were to do such a thing- punishment was often death, scorned, burned- there was no rule for it- they could be kicked out or killed. It was a bitterness at the world for being cruel that would have paved the bloody path that she would, unknowingly, walk.
Anyways, she was married off to another somewhat wealthy family to try to keep the money afloat. She completely loathed the man. He was fat, smelly and utterly disgusting due to the time frame, they didn't have as much money as her family did, and they shared a bathroom with dirty water that simply clung to their skin in the most horrid way possible. But really, she had no choice, did she? She was wedded, and then moved into her new husband's house- where she was expected to sit around and weave dresses as her fat husband did all the work- and on the occasion, while he was away, she took over the job for him.
Around age seventeen, her husband pushed for a baby- and she physically would hurl at the thought- in truth, she would rather have been killed then get anywhere near the man. What stopped her was that she was engaged with a lover on the side, and one night with her real husband gave her an excuse that she was pregnant with a baby already. It was a real secret, hushy hushy that she doesn't get caught; because he did the worst thing possible (besides not admitting to her he was a vampire), he declared his love for her one night- with caused a split between them. She had insisted that they parted ways because they get caught, little did she know, he watched over her instead, fearing that their past would one day catch up to them both.
Had Sam would turn into anything less then a bitch, she would have admitted that the thing that she regretted the most was never really seeing her son grow up into a young man- things would have changed if she had stayed- but she couldn't. She barely survived childbirth- and she had only been present for two years of her son's life before it was taken away from her. She could only admit that though she hated her husband, he was focused, loyal, independent and if her son had taken from either parent, he would have grown into a resourceful boy and a good man. And even if it wasn't true, what else could she fall back on?
The event? Just a walk in the town. Someone went up to talk to the couple, and them proceeded to mention her previous lover. Making it short, they didn't mention it until they were home, and her husband was furious. Had Sam had stayed, hell, she wasn't sure what would have happened to her. But that night, her past lover came and took her away- ultimately changing her into the vampire and teaching her to get through her new life. She never really changed, but she did stick to his side as close as possible, for nearly seven hundred years before she finally broke away to live her life as she wanted to.
Personality:
Sam is a simple and unique woman, so there's not much to say about it. On the outside, she can be nice, charming, easy going, and extraordinary smart. She has a different view on life, a very negative one at that, but it's interesting when she talks about it- she always has something to say and never runs out of words. It's rare for her to seem so flustered or shocked over anything. She's that person who would fight for what she believes in, but won't look twice if it's not interesting to her. Around some, she can be pleasant, interesting, interesting; but to others she's cold, heartless, and sarcastic- she will work, but as long as it benefits her. But under the double-sided attitude, she's a little selfish. She's only nice to people who benefit her, and sometimes won't associate herself with anyone at all, her independent nature and prideful attitude sometimes prevents her from doing many things.
But overall, she's not a complete ass, on the inside, she believes everyone should have a right to be who they are, wear what the want to wear, and do whatever the hell they want to do.She won't take direction from others, she makes her own mistakes and learns herself. She's just that type of girl who thinks that feelings are a weakness that she can't indulge in, she has to stay strong or else someone would stand in her way and she would be too weak to get it- and she will not take that lying down.
