Samantha Jane Talbot

Sam (Sumi in Japanese) is an original character for Harvest Moon: ToT and AP

Basic Info
Sam moved to the island at the young age of nineteen, looking for a fresh start, so to speak, and a way to get away from her parents idelistic views on how she should be. Despite the complications in her childhood, though, Sam still has a very bright and cheerful personality. She's optimistic, and always has a smile on her face, no matter what, managing to find happiness in everything. Because of the fun-loving, and sometimes childish demenor most people don't actually expect how inwardly mature, and wise she really is. Sam could be described as more of a tomboy, though she does retain her femine qualities. Sam is very polite and personable, but also outgoing, and an extreme extrovert. She is extroverted to the point where she pretty well needs people around her, easily becoming depressed if she's alone for long periods of time. However, this love of people also causes Sam to sometimes be a bit of a doormat and a 'yes-man', making her easy to manipulate. Despite her love for people and need for company, though, Sam is very independant, and will never except help from others, even if she really needs it. This is especially bad for her because of how much of a busy body she is; she just can't stand to sit still. Sam is constantly overworking herself (especially in reguards to her job) and, much to the stress of Jin, she is constantly making herself sick. Sam hates medicine, and refuses to take it, her stubborness making things especially difficult for the doctor. Still, the two are close friends. Sam is close to most people on the island with the exceptions of Owen, Ramsay, Luna, and her boss Ozzie. Despite her tense relationship with Ozzie, she still loves her job.

Rival
The Rival for Sam's affections is Gill

First Rival Event:

Sam and Gill's first rival event takes place in the town hall. Sam walks in, giving Gill something he had ordered. He acuses her of being late, and she just simply apologises. Gill tells her to try not to do it again, and Sam smiles and apologises again, though this time Sam mentions that Gill should lighten up a bit, or he was going to grow old soon. Gill is irritated by this, and Sam chuckles at him, but still apologizes. She clarifies herself, saying that she just thought he should smile more often; he was more handsome when he smiled. Gill blushes, making Sam chuckle again before bidding him goodbye, and getting back to work.

Second Rival Event:

Sam and Gill's second rival event takes place at the clinic. Sam is in bed, seemingly having gotten herself very sick, and Gill is at her bedside. Gill scolds her for overworking herself to this extent, and Sam weakly apologizes. Feeling somewhat guilty for snapping at Sam, Gill apologizes. After a few minutes of silence Gill begins to blush. After another moment, Gill mentions that it seems someone always has to be taking care of Sam. The girl is irritated by this, but Gill continues before she can interject, saything that he would like to be this person. Sam then blushes, and just looks at Gill silently. Then Gill takes out a blue feather, offering it to Sam. Sam smiles and accepts happily before falling back asleep because of being sick.

Rival Child:

If Gill and Sam marry, they will have a boy named Thomas. He will have blonde hair with a cowlick, just like Gill, and brown eyes like his mother. He's somewhat quiet, and very polite. Thomas is studious and responcible, with a formal style and speach like his father, but optimistic and friendly like his mom.

Appearance
Sam's most prominent characteristic is her hair, sporting a bright blue with purple streaks. Her hair is usually in a messy sort of updo. She is fair skinned with light brown eyes, and long, thin legs.

In the spring and summer, Sam's iconic attire is a baggy pair of knee-length jean shorts, and a yellow shirt with some sort of cute saying or designs.

Her iconic fall and winter clothing is a white hoodie with thick, horazontal alternating blue and orange stripes with a full pair of dark wash jeans.

In both seasons Sam wears grey vans as shoes.
