( PERSONALITY ) :

• protective; Sammy would be pretty much anything to take care of those she loves. Just like she would have done anything she had to to save her mother from Kane. Who she had learned to hate strongly over the years of living with him, having to do as he said or she would get smacked, or hit over the head with something hard and could cause her damage. Though she only stood up to him so that she could help her brother whenever he was in trouble. It may not have been the best choice when it came to other people's standards, it probably wasn't the best idea to make him even more mad, but as long as she had saved her loved one from the potential beating it was all worth it. That is what she would do to save anyone that she loved. It's just in her nature to save everyone that she cares for. Like with her mother, she may have tried her best to protect her from all the men that cane into her life, it still wasn't enough. That was what Sammy really couldn't take. But she vows to herself that if anything like that happened to her aunt, she would do everything and anything in her power to keep him away from her at all costs.

• headstrong; Sammy likes to do what Sammy likes to do. When it comes to taking orders from everyone, it doesn't really work. Sometimes she doesn't mind doing something for someone, but then other times, Sammy will straight up say no. It may not be the nicest thing to say to someone, though Sammy doesn't like to so things for people if they can do it themselves. Then there is the fact of her wanting to do something that no one else is up for. Sammy hates doing what everyone else thinks that she should do. She thinks that she should do what she wants to do and not let anyone else do it. Then when she wants to do something and no one will let her to, Sammy will do whatever it takes to do it. Maybe she will get in trouble for it, but Sammy doesn't care, she will do it no matter what. Sammy may even try to make someone think what she does. Like when she used to get the feelings about the men her mother met. She knew they where all wrong for her mother, she tried to make her think that. She still tries even after over ten years, it shows just how stubborn she is.

• caring; At times, Sammy may seem slightly mean and a little but heartless, but that's just her outer shell. It shields her inner very soft and fragile core. With her slight short-tempardness, and snappy, but she has a heart of gold if you just peal away her layers. If you think about it, Sammy is like an onion. With many layers that are strong at first, then they get weaker and weaker and easier to get through. Then once you do, you will find a small girl that all she wants to do is protect get friends and family. Where she cares what happens to people. As where on the outside,,it is like she doesn't care of someone was killed. Or if someone was suffering and she was the only one that could do anything about it. When she would care deeply if any of that happened to someone. Because looks can be deceiving, and sometimes the way people act around someone they just met really isn't who thru are. Or what they really think. It's just like that with Sammy, she may look like a girl who couldn't care about anything, when really she is just a sweet, scared kid.

( HAIR ) :

• Sam actually likes her hair. Or at least she tolerates it. For her, it us manageable, and easy for her to work with. Her long black hair isn't too thick, and it isn't too thin. And she normal doesn't have to sk anything to make it fall in natural large curls

( EYES ) :

• Sammy's eyes are beautiful. They are in an almost perfect almond shape. And no matter how much she insists that they are black, they really are, in reality, just a very dark shade of brown.

( FACIAL STRUCTURE ) :

• Sam is gorgeous, with her beautiful complexion, other then a small scar on the right side of her nose. Her cheek bones are slightly prominent, except for her nose and get chin is not.

( BODY STRUCTURE ) :

• Three words; lengthy, tall, and skinny. Sammy isn't tiny, but she isn't coveted in muscle like some people. Her long legs make her taller then some people her age, standing at a height of 5'8. Then only weighing about 120lb, she is pretty skinny, but defiantly not weak.

( ATTIRE ) :

• From black to yellow, Sammy will wear just about anything. It really depends on what she is feeling. If she is in a bad mood she will wear dark colors, and light, bright colors when she is in a better mood.

( PLAY-BY ) :

• Crystal Reed

( PARENTS ) :

• Emily Pool, mother, 37, out of work
• Jared DeLinco, father, 22, dead
• Kane Pool, step-father, 40, works in ministry

( SIBLINGS ) :

( OTHERS ) :
( HISTORY ) :

Once Emily gave birth to her two children, one being a little girl, and the other one being a bouncing boy. Each being healthy, except for a small problem with her son who she named Alexander, he had a deformed leg. It was something that would need to be surgically fixed. Her daughter, Samantha, on the other hand, was perfectly healthy with nothing wrong with her, unlike her twin brother. Being completely loud, she would not shut up unless she wanted to sleep, or she wanted to eat. While Benjamin was a little bit more mellow, and quieter than his sister was. Emily had a good time taking are of the two young children she had gained. And after the two were born and able to leave the hospital, Emily moved back to her home, which was in London England. There was where she wanted to raise her children. But first, she would need to give her son surgery to repair the leg that had been deformed. Since they didn't have many things that could help to fix him. Though there was one operation that could probably fix it. The only thing is that Emily hadn't been making a lot of money over the past four years, and she couldn't afford the surgery. So Alexander would need to live with the deformation in his leg until Emily would be able to make enough money to afford the surgery.

The real problems began to happen when Ben and Sam where only around the age of three. With Alex always walking in crutches, and Sam being stubborn and head-strong. Not wanting to do anything the way her mother told her to already at this young age, Emily was having trouble taking care of them both. She hadn't worked in a long time, but her grandmother had left her some money since she died, giving her money to get a house and pay it off. Also enough to help her afford the surgery for Ben, who was only three, and didn't know anything other than his crutches, surgery would be hard on him. It was a good thing that Sam was always willing to help her brother, help him to get around, or to do everyday stuff. Even building him small contraptions that would help him to get around in a better way. Ben even helped Sam with some of these inventions. They were nothing big, just things that kids would build. Even if they did have a little bit more detail to them. Having things on them that many kids their age wouldn't think to include on small things such as these. They were very extraordinary young children.

With Sam and Ben turning six, Alex could get around rather well with his crutches. And Emily was about to have him have the surgery that would help him fix his leg. When she began to date again. It had been so long too. Emily had almost forgotten about all that. With two kids, it was easy to forget slot of things though. Most of the guys that she dated where not very kind to Sam. She would always go up and question them in that little kiddy way, and they would simply push her away as if she where nothing. It was very rude, at least that was what Sam though about it all. Others where a little nicer, but turns out they had just been nice to her because they wanted Emily to like them. But it was either so they could get lick at the end of the night, or so they could get in on some of the money that Emily's grandmother had left behind for her. None of them where any good, at least that was what Sam learned to think. She was surprised that her mother hadn't just given up and realized that there were no men out there, and that none where any good. But she just couldn't see it. At least Sam could, and that was what seemed to start her burning hatred for the male species.

When a man finally did come into their lives, he was kind to Sam and Alex. He also seemed genuine and not after things such as Emily's money like all the others. But Sam didn't exactly like him. Since age was only about eight, no one really cared what she thought, or even bothered to even listen to what she had to say about him. Alex on the other hand, didn't have any problems with the man that claimed to love their mother. Sam had never liked the way he seemed to be nice, and he claimed to have a lot of money, and to have money to support them. He even played for Ben's surgery. That just seemed to make Emily think he was the best guy that ever lived. That he was different then all the rest. So when he asked Emily to marry him, she couldn't say no. Sam wished that she hasn't. She wished that her mother hadn't said yes to him. Maybe they all really should have listened to what Sammy had to say, because it turns out, she was right. He didn't turn out to be a very good man. He wasn't the man that everyone thought that he was at first.

Right when Sam was about to think that she was wrong about him, he became the man that she thought he was. Or at least she knew that he was. He began to become meaner and meaner. At one point in the time he and Sam's mom where married, he actually hit her. Well, he did hit her several times. He also hit Sam and Ben once when they were arguing over something of extreme pettiness, when he got tired of their fighting and whacked them over the head rather hard, leaving a large bump. That was when Sam knew that she had been right about him all along. The worst thing was when one day, Sam was in her room working on something for Ben. Because even since he had the operation to help his leg, he still had a limp, and couldn't walk on it long. So Sam was going to make him a splint, to help him with the pain in his leg. But anyways, while she was in there, he came in and sexually assaults her. When Sam told her mother, Emily didn't believe what he had done. This just made Sam made. It also made her think that her mother was just plain stupid. That she couldn't see just what he was. And when Sam was able to get out, she did.

Finally, Sam got the chance to leave. When she turned eleven, the letter from Hogwarts. It was a school that Emily had told Alex and Sam about. She told them about a lot of things that happened to her while she was there. That was why Sam was so happy when she got her letter that read:

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,
Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)

Ben got one as well. They had been so exited. They couldn't wait to go and get their supplies. Sam had been very interested by the brooms, she would have gotten one if it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't have one. But she was happy to have an owl though. This one was a large black barn owl that she named Shillow. The only time she was happier then when she finally got there.

When reaching Hogwarts, Sam still couldn't seem to think of anything but her mother. Even if she shouldn't be caring, after all, it was her mother’s choice to stay there with him; all that Sam really should be caring about was she. And getting her out of the situation where she would be putting herself in danger. But it was in her nature to care for those who are her family, or at least that are close enough to her to be her family, at least those she cares deeply about. And when it comes to that, there were only a few people, Ben, Emily, and Eloise. So that was why Sam was so keen on getting Alex out. She may have tried to help her mother, but she had been too blinded by what she thought was the truth to see past his outer shell, of what seemed to be kindness. The young girl just wished that her mother could see things like she did. That everyone could see things as Sam did. All that Sam could wish got now, and hope that Emily will finally make herself see clearer, and realize what kind of man the guy she had married really is.

( ROLEPLAY EXAMPLE ) :

On top of half-blood hill, leaning her back up against one if the trees, Avery sat with a book in her hands. With her knees pulled up, and the book, Gone With the Wind, which she had read four times before now. Avery had just gotten there, and had just started reading the book several moments ago. But Avery really did like the book, soon it would really get old. Exept right now, it was not old yet. She loved the story line, and all the characters. It just drew her in, and made her unable to put the book down. It was like some people and their work, how they just get entranced and can't seem to be pulled out. That is what Avery is like with books. Exept to can quite a job if you feel it has become too much of your life and has started to take it over, but with a book, Avery feels that you can't just put it down, you have to keep on reading it and you have to keep going threw the story until you know what the ending is like. Until you have read it and you can say exactly what it means and what it's about. Then you can go on to the next book.

But being the daughter of Athena, it would make sence that she would like those kind of books. Avery had read a lot of books, and this wasn't the beat of books she had read, but it was a good book. The other kind of books that where action, and then there are also romance nobles, like Twilight. Then peronirmal books. Honestly, Avery liked all kinds of books. Though, there have been some that she just hated. Ones that just don't make any sence, and have some of the stupidest plotlines, Avery really can't understand at all. They sometimes just confuse her, and Avery doesn't like to get confused. It is a mixture of wonder, not knowing, and think you know. That shouldn't happen to her unless the book is a mystery novel and she is guessing at who the killer actually is when it is her first time reading the book. Because being an Athena kid she knows a lot of things and has read a book about pretty much everything there I'd to read about. From the ocean to books about science. Or books that are great novels and have one honors metals. Avery has read almost everything there is to read.

Reading was also a way for Avery to get away. It takes her away. Away to any place that she wants to go. From the top of half-blood hill, to somewhere in the eighteenth century, or to a far away place. Somewhere that Avery can get away from everything going on at camp. It would mostly be drama creates by other people, that just seems to be carried around camp, then some Avery is somehow pulled into. It really does get annoying, but reading is a way to try and get away from all of the stupid stuff. Stuff like all the girls worrying about how their hair looked, or what cloths they would wear for the next week that would make guys notice them better. It seemed that was all girls around here thought about. They though about guys and getting boyfriends. Then the ones who weren't like that all the time already had boyfriends. They had boyfriends that they would stand and drool over. This really wasn't appealing to Avery, she was comfortable just sticking with her books and leaving it at that. Life would be so much better if other female's minds weren't all full of guys and make-up.

That was about the time a small disturbance in the trees behind her shook Avery from her revere. Someone else was up here with Avery. Good thing she usually carried a sword that she was okay with and could fight off an enimie fairly well with it. But she was a little rusty, and we shall just see how this show-down will go for both sides.
