Description

"Sam Nightingale is a water genasi and at some point everything she was wearing was very well pressed, ironed and clearly designer. She wears a matching blue blazer and skirt set with a white vest and a white beret. Has long curly hair that goes from green to blue to white, like an ocean wave. Otherworldly beautiful. But just ripshit. Absolutely fucking ripshit." ― Persephone Valentine

Appearance

Sam is a Water Genasi with pale blue-green skin and wavy blue-ish gray hair that falls a bit below her shoulders. She has a long angular face and webbed fish-like ears. She carries a Mirror of the Past with her, in the form of a seashell compact, which was a gift from her "ship-sinking cousin", Myrtle.

She is trans, though the only people that know outside of her parents (both biological and adoptive) are Penelope Everpetal and Zelda Donovan.

Personality

Sam has some anger issues, and will sometimes get so upset that she goes into a panic. When that happens, Danielle Barkstock is always there to be a calming presence, taking her aside and talking her down from all her feelings.

The Fan

Sam's fan is white and blue with a wave motif.

Background

Sam is the daughter of Camille Brine and an unnamed model, though as soon as Sam's father's career dried up, Camille left him. As a child, before she transitioned, Sam had a brief career as a child actor. Her career appears to have been managed by her mother, though due to Camille's selfish and transphobic attitude, Sam has cut off all contact. Before doing so, Camille attempted to exploit Sam's transition as a publicity stunt to enter back into show business. Although her career as a child actor ended on somewhat of a sour note, she is still interested in theater and music, going so far as to multiclass into Bard.

Sometime after coming out as trans, Sam moved in with Penelope Everpetal and her parents, Rebecca and Gideon Everpetal. Despite glamourous aesthetic and growing up in the limelight, Sam currently has very little social media presence. All of her profiles are limited, and she doesn’t have any followers except for her friends.

History

Fantasy High

The Beginning Begins

Sam is first introduced outside the school hanging out with Johnny Spells, her boyfriend. Penelope Everpetal approaches them and asks to speak with Sam for a minute. She tells Penelope she's busy and that they can talk after school, but Penelope insists they talk now. Riz Gukgak appears from hiding and Sam asks what he wants. He says he's friends with Penelope, who calls him "the ball". Sam asks Johnny to meet up later once she deals with Penelope, and Johnny rides away.

Riz asks how she and Johnny met, and she tells him that Johnny just hangs around the school. Before Riz can ask any more questions, Penelope drags her away. They slip into the girls' changing room to talk about their missing friend, Penny Luckstone. Unknown to them, Ostentatia Wallace sneaks in after them to eavesdrop for Riz.

She's trapped in a palimpsest and kept hostage until Prom night, when Kalvaxus takes her and the rest of the Maidens to be chained up at the mouth of his lair. They are rescued by Sandra Lynn Faeth. After he's defeated, he's brought back to life so that the Maidens can kill him again.

Fantasy High: Sophomore Year

After the events of Prom night, Sam and the rest of the Maidens form an adventuring party together. During the Bad Kids' sophomore year, they travel to retrieve dragon eggs from the Red Waste. They also accompany Fig Faeth, Ayda Aguefort, Adaine Abernant, Kristen Applebees, and Tracker O'Shaughnessey to defeat Hyperia the Gorgon queen of Throshk while Riz, Gorgug Thistlespring and Fabian Seacaster have a Boys' Night.

The Seven

At the start of The Seven, she is a senior at Aguefort Adventuring Academy.

Party of Seven

In a flashback, Sam comes to with the other maidens chained in Kavaxus' lair. She is immediately furious as she realizes the betrayal of her best friend Penelope Everpetal, who helped trap her there. After escaping their chains and killing the guards, Sam and the other maidens explore the lair. Sam and Penny Luckstone find Talura in her mirror, and are talking to her when the rest of the maidens enter. As Talura drags Antiope Jones towards the mirror, Sam attempts to free her with a spell, only to be dragged forward herself. They are saved when Danielle Barkstock shatters the mirror and frees Talura. She and the rest of the maidens are taken home by Sandra Lynn Faeth.

Back in present time, Sam awakes in her luxurious bedroom in the Everpetal home, only to find her adoptive mother, Rebecca Everpetal in the kitchen with packed bags. Rebecca asks her to sit down and explains that counselling with her husband Gideon Everpetal is not working and that he had called her to inform her he wanted a divorce. When Sam asks where Gideon is, Rebecca admits he is in Fallinel with his blonde assistant (who recently got her butt done) to Sam's immense disgust. Rebecca explains that while Gideon has requested she leave the house, she will only be a phone call away in her sister's apartment and has arranged for prepared meals to be sent to Sam in the house. Upon Sam's distress at being left in the house alone, Rebecca tells her that the commute from the apartment to Sam's school is long, she is welcome to come with her and stay on the couch together. However, Sam sees her distress and thinks her adoptive mother needs time to heal first. During this conversation, Rebecca mentions that she received a tasteless phone call from Sam's biological mother, which angers Sam, who requests that Rebecca stop answering the woman's phone calls in the future. She then melts down all of Gideon's trophies and mails them to him. She may have anger issues.

Later, Sam picks up Zelda Donovan in her hot car, Sebastian. She and Zelda talk about the conversation with Rebecca and Sam embroiders Zelda's name in the passenger seat of her car.

In or Out

At the Aguefort Adventuring Academy the next day, Sam and the maidens are called into a meeting with Principle Aguefort. He explains that their party will be broken up at the end of the year, due to 4 of the 7 maidens being set to graduate. However, he tells them that the completion of a high class quest and a signature from the missing Tectonya Karkovnya would allow them all to graduate and continue adventuring together. The group leaves to discuss their options, where Sam is distressed and lashes out at Antiope and Zelda for suggesting that some of the maidens may want to move on from the party. She immediately texts the group that she is in.

Later she and Danielle check in to talk about the fight earlier, and it is clear that Sam is scared of change and being abandoned by more people in her life.

When she gets home, Sam uses her compact mirror to contact Penelope Everpetal in hell. The two trade barbs, but in the end this only hurts Sam more, because she does not enjoy cruelty the same way Penelope does.

As the maidens travel to Bastion City, they see the skeleton of Kalvaxus on display. Upset by this, Sam attempts to destroy the skeleton, but is counter-spelled by Charity Blythe.

Trivia

• Brennan posted Sam's character sheet on his Twitter as a reward for reaching the 250 voter registrations milestone during CollegeHumor's Voter Registration Drive. However, as of The Seven, the character sheet is no longer accurate.
  • He also revealed that Sam had a brief career as a child actor before her magic powers manifested, and was living with her mom Beth in an apartment in Bastion City. In becoming a PC, this was retconned, as her mother in The Seven is named Camille. However, "Beth" may have become Rebecca Everpetal, her adoptive mother, instead.
• Sam's fragrance of choice is Pastel Blue from Dulce and Gabborana, mostly because Penelope once told Sam it suited her, and now she can't bring herself to throw the bottle away.
• The seashell compact mirror has been in her family for a long time. Once, a classmate stole it and looked inside. On the bright side, his therapist is certain he’ll bounce back! Eventually.
• Sam is super protective of all the Maidens, but she is the most protective of Zelda. One time a classmate called her “the weird goat girl” and found out that when you’re a Storm Sorceress, there are many ways to give a swirly.
• Sam's player Persephone Valentine strongly suggested during the Seven cast takeover of the Dimension 20 Instagram, that Sam's adversarial relationship with Gorgug Thistlespring is because Sam has feelings towards Zelda. It is unconfirmed how this has changed Zelda & Sam's relationship after the first episode of Fantasy High: Junior Year.
