Bio: Sam was born on her mothers world where she lived for the better part of six years and grew faster then children on Earth did, she doesn't remember much of her world, however, she sometimes gets images that would suggest that it was a beautiful and colorful world, much more so then Earth. However, there was an order that would attempt to take control over the world by enslaving the elements and using them for there wicked deeds, her mother was part of this order, a war was fought using powerful magics that would destroy the very world. Sam's mother foreseen the destruction of there world and attempted to escape calling a portal to Earth, she had discovered before Sam was born and kept it secret for just this scenario. The two escaped, however, the elements that were called to open this portal had their final revenge by separating mother from child and erasing any memory of each other.

Samantha was later found by humans and was placed in foster care, however, this world had humans with special gifts that were treated as outcast and when she showed signs of abilities she was treated no different. It was two years of being tossed around home to home when she was finally shown some kindness when a couple came to adopt her and seemed over joyed to find that their new daughter had unusual gifts. Years had passed and she had come to accept her light abilities and was praised when ever she used them to help injured animals but she was forbidden to use them on people, her foster parents would tell her the world was not ready to accept extraordinary people such as herself and she obeyed her parents. However, one day she would disobey and use her abilities to heal a neighborhood boy that was stabbed for money, the boy would later tell his parents what happened and they would tell others until it go to humans that weren't too keen on having a freak around. An angry mob was formed and would find themselves on Samantha's yard, they demand that the girl was sent out, of course her parents wouldn't but would try to talk sense to the angered mob. Talks failed and the mob of angry humans stormed the home pushing the couple down and trampling over and killing them. What the mob intended to do once inside was unknown, however, what is known is that a mob of twenty went into the house and all twenty were found in pieces, blood spattered through out the home with Samantha nowhere to be found.

Years later when Sam was nearing sixteen and had been on the streets with fellow runaways ever since her parents were killed and her shadow abilities awoken to murder all those people, she had been swallowed by guilt and depression for what she was responsible for and lost the will to survive. One day by chance or fate she received a letter that had mysteriously found her lap, it was an invitation to an academy for gifted students with her name on it, not having any real ties to the group of runaways she left for the school and never thought of the group again. At the school she had made friends and was accepted for the first time and with help from a teacher she was able to forgive herself and put the past behind her an making a bond with this female teacher. After learning more about the teacher Sam learned that she wasn't from this planet or even from this dimension, she had came to Earth as a refugee after her planet was destroyed by war. The woman had told her of a powerful spell that was placed on her that took her many years to break and discovered she had a daughter that came with her and was separated from her. Samantha told her of her story of how she was found alone with no memories of anything at the age of six. The woman went pale and told her that her daughter was around that age when they left their world and suggested that she'd do the same spell she did to unlock her own memories to find the truth but was warn that it was very painful. Samantha agreed to undergo the spell if only to help the woman find that she wasn't the girl she was looking for. The spell was as painful as the woman warned, however, during the spell markings of the woman's race started to appear on Samantha's body confirming that she was indeed her missing daughter, further proof was shown when Samantha looked at the woman and recognized the woman as her mother from years ago and for the first time in a decade the two embraced each other as mother and daughter.

Samantha's mother had shared with her everything about herself and of the world they came from, she also told her that her real father was actually an earthling that she had met and fell in love with on her first trip to Earth and farther more he was a teacher at that very academy. It was a lot to process, however, Sam had gotten a second chance at having a family. Sam's mother went to inform her long time lover that she had found her lost daughter and he was in fact her father. It didn't take much to convince the man that she was his daughter even though he was a bit young to have a sixteen year old child but once her mother explained that on her world they grew faster then on Earth and the fact that her mother had only been with one human and Sam was indeed half human. Later Sam would learn that her father was a multi-billionaire and a CEO of more then a handful of successful companies, at first she would not accept gifts from her father, especially the more expensive ones but her father would finally convene her that he was only paying back every birthday that he had missed and begged her to forgive him for his absents, she would and started to accept the gift even if they were stupidly over priced.

A whole year had passed and in that time she trained the magical side of her abilities with her mother, mastering the ability to draw strength from nature but her mother said it was up to her to learn the rest and passed down her book of spells as her mother did before her. She had also been asked to join a team of some of the strongest students of the school to receive special training and go on missions that normal human forces could not handle and doubt with other powerful beings. Mission after mission the team had become stronger and closer, she would even fall in love with the leader of the team, however, for the sake of the team they hid their true feelings from each other. Everything was going well, until a world wide crises broke out forcing the school and team to come public after saving the world, this would prove that her foster parents had been right all along. The school began to receive hate from around the world especially for the team of super teens that were called a weapon of the school and was threatened to be shut down by the US government. Not wanting to draw fire from the government the school offered a deal, they would allow the US government to send whatever funding to the school and branch out more schools like this one in exchange they could station agents throughout the schools and even have their own people teach there, also they could post an agent to be in charge of the student team. The terms were agreed upon and another year went by with only a handful of missions passed down to the team, however, this gave Samantha time to spend with her family and work on her studies after all this was her senior year. At the end of the year it was graduation time and all was joyful as a new class was able to survive high school and start there life, after being registered as a super human. However, she would not get the chance to walk across the stage to receive her certificate, instead loud booms could be heard from around the campus then suddenly the stage would erupt in a large explosion, Samantha was able to create a barrier to save a handful of students she was near, however, hundreds of students and teachers were killed and the explosion. Many of her friends had died, some were never found, including her mother and father.

Several months later war broke out across the world, super beings against normal humans, brother against brother and although the super humans drastically out powered the humans they would be pathetically out numbered by a whole world united by a common enemy. Samantha was apart of the a small group of super humans that went into enemy territory to free POW's, she was armed only with the magic of her mother and her powers of darkness, she had been locked from her light powers when her school was destroyed and her mind slipped to the darkest it has ever been. During her mission her team was under attack and was being ripped apart by the giant death machines the humans made to combat the more powerful super beings, her team fell one by one until she was the last standing. She knew this would be her final moments and stood from her cover and drew upon the full extent of her shadow power and began to rip as many of the machines to piece, taking care to kill the humans inside. However there was too many of them and a blast from the machines found its way through Samantha's shadow form and completely ripping her arm away from her body. Samantha fell to the ground screaming trying to active her healing power to reattach her arm or even to just stop the bleeding before she bled to death. Sam pushed herself against the debris of the once grand city of New York and watch the death machines start to advance on her to issue the final blow, she closed her eyes pushing tears down her dirty cheek and waited for the end.

When she heard the machine's guns go off she opened her eyes and watched as a boy jumped in front of the fire and be ripped apart his armor, Sam didn't know what was going on or who the boy was but the he turned his head toward her as he fell and Samantha recognized who he was. It was the boy she had fell in love with, the leader of the team back at the school, with renewed energy Sam forced herself to her feet and ran to the fallen boy. She sank beside him and tried with everything she had to tap into her healing abilities just on last time but it would not come. The boy smiled some how and put his bloody hand on her cheek to wipe off a tear and mouthed, "I loved you...always have," then let out one last breath before going still. Samantha let out a bloodcurdling scream followed by a pulse of darkness that toppled the giant death machines buying her sometime before they could reposition. Allowing the shadows to fest on her life force she found the power to stand and beg the elements for aid one last time. She called upon the shattered earth, the raging winds, the light from the sun that forced it's way passed the black smoke that clouded the sky provided the fire, finally the tears from her cheeks and the blood from the fallen boy give her the essence of water. The elements where swirling around her, she could feel the anger in them and the willingness to aid her, she lifted her left and only arm above her head and gathered the elements into a sphere, it grew and grew even more as the now giant sphere hovered high above Samantha's hand. The Death machines were in position to attack and begun to fire, however, the sphere drew the ammunition to itself causing the girl to smile. "Kill them all..." she says before the sphere of element magic went off in a blinding explosion. When the light faded everything in the large area had been vaporized, everything except for Sam and the boys body.

Samantha fell onto her back next to the boy and was able to find his hand and held onto it, her vision was fading and it was getting harder to breath, she knew this was how she was going to die and accepted it. She had lived, she had struggled but she was able to find happiness and love, she was able to love someone and be loved in return. She could feel the darkness inside of her starting to twist and turn desperately, beginning surrounding her, she didn't fight, she was ready for a rest and if the shadows wanted her they could have her she was done fighting she thought. Shadow tendrils begin to wrap around her and begin to pull her down to where the ground should have been, then everything went black.

Sam's eyes flicked open and was confused at first, was she dead, was this what dead looked like? As she pondered she stood feeling energized, she looked down at where her arm should be and found that it was indeed still gone, however she wasn't bleeding anymore. She looked around and saw that she was surrounded by dead animals and withered trees, the darkness must have saved her and somehow brought her to this place. She looked around and saw it was very much different from where she was...it was like before the war, however, even more different then that, could her dark powers have saved her and taken her to another time or even another world?
