personality » Sam is a miasma of personalities. She is very quiet and subdued at home, where her perfectionism is put to the test. She does well under pressure, at least from an outsider's point of view. Most of the time she's completely unsure of herself, but will hide this from others, knowing that if her weakness fell into the wrong hands then it would be exploited.
She also has OCD and this affects her perfectionist tendencies even more. Sam is a slowly recovering anorexic who has explored cutting herself before. She's always looking for an outlet to express her feelings of being controlled and her fear of her household situation. She could be a loving and protective normal girl, if she'd been born in a normal household.
With her brother she really opens up and her sparkling and friendly side comes through. She is more relaxed on her own or with Jake than other people she knows.
WE'LL TAKE CONTROL OF THE WORLD,
[/font][/center]appearance » Sam is a striking girl. She's very slim and pale with large and expressive dark brown eyes that she usually hides to not draw attention to herself. Her thick dark hair makes her pale skin seem even lighter. She is slightly muscled, though she doesn't appear as bulky as most of her teammates do, there's no denying her innate attractiveness. She could be considered too thin, and she isn't curvy at all. She isn't exactly the tallest person around, but she is an asset to her team because of her agility and speed that she brings forth. Sam's clothing style is simple, never really going overboard with anything. Jeans and a t-shirt with trainers or pumps and she is good to go.

life history » Sam was born to the Marshall family, the younger sibling of Jake. He is two years older than her, the older doting brother, but also fiercely protective. Until about the age of four, she was never really understood that her father was emotionally abusive of Jake and it would soon become her turn. As a five year old, she was bribed and blackmailed quite easily, as any child is when asked if she wanted sweets in return for something else. This was usually things like coloring in the lines, and not outside. Using the right colours, or outperforming the children in her preschool. This might have been the start of her perfectionism. Jake was at school by this time, and it was always Sam comforting her brother if their father became particularly mean.
School was never an issue for her, studies coming easily. She did however fear that her father would do something drastic if she did poorly. Sam doesn't remember her mother all that well, except that she passed away when she was seven. Sam had found her before she passed, and that kind of image haunts a child forever. The nightmares still come occasionally. Jake had also been charged with getting her to school, but Sam and him had stayed at home. That night she listened to her brother being beat up, powerless to do anything.
Sam never told anyone about the abuse Jake went through, mainly because they were too terrified of their father to do so. She was around eight at this time, easily influenced and too scared of talking past herself that she retreated behind walls that she built up. She focused on her school work more and more, meaning that her marks became better and better, and not really making friends. Life went on as usual, the emotional blackmail became worse, but she started to realise her own power. Sam did start making one or two close friends, but never invited them over for sleepovers, or doing girly things at home. It always had to be at their house or such.
When Jake entered high school she had to start coping on her own. It was difficult at first but two years later it was her turn. She started volleyball, but also became interested in horses. It wasn't to please her father, but the animals fascinated her, their grace and beauty was like a drug. She requested a horse as well, but not one from a stud or superior breeding. Sam chose a mare from a sanctuary, a flaxen chestnut Arab, that she renamed Shiloh, and the two had a rocky start. It became bad enough that her father threatened to sell the mare on, but Sam begged for another month. She was granted it, and she spent every waking moment at the barn. Slowly, Shiloh came to trust her, and the two are now firm partners.
Jake had found a friend in Griffen, and in a way so did Sam, but she gives the two their space, not always wanting to intrude. She knew that Griffen knew about their situation with their father, but in Sam's eyes he is just misunderstood. She wants to escape, she wants to go with Jake and Griffen, but loyalty also guilts her into staying with her father.

personality » Shiloh is a quirky one. She does have the typical grump attitude of most mares, but is a sweet heart deep down. She does take a while to trust people, but once you have earned her trust, then she does pull out all the stops. Well, to an extent. If she doesn't feel like doing something, then she just won't, no matter what or how much coaxing you use.
