History[]

Sam's family is extremely wealthy, being descendants of the great inventor of the deli toothpick cellophane-twirling device. However, she keeps her family's wealth a secret, only revealing it to her best friends in Attack of the Killer Garage Sale.

Sam has known Danny and Tucker ever since the second grade, as shown in Splitting Images. She’s responsible for Danny's accident and designing the "D" emblem on his outfit, which became a permanent change to his costume as of Memory Blank.

During Danny's ghost-hunting adventures, Sam has gotten into her fair share of troubles and adventures, ranging from being turned briefly into a ghost dragon when wearing the Amulet of Aragon when Paulina gave it to Sam, thinking it was hers, to accidentally wishing away Danny Phantom's existence, to nearly being a bride to Prince Aragon and to getting possessed by Undergrowth.

Appearance[]

Sam is a slim, fair-skinned teenage Caucasian girl with light violet eyes, thick brows and chin-length, straight black hair with a small ponytail at the top back of her head, held by a green hair tie, along with "M" shaped bangs. She also sported deep-violet lipstick on her lips.

Despite her otherwise thin physique, some of her outfits emphasizes her figure, mainly her hips.

Sam's usual attire consists of a black choker around her neck, a black cropped tank top with a light violet oval printed on the center, thick black bracelets on both her wrists, purple tights under a black skirt with a green crosshatch-design, and large black biker boots with metal-like soles.

She has also been seen in a wide variety of outfits, ranging from a rocker rebel than a goth of black and purple ball gown to a pink princess dress with hearts, and even one of the orange Fenton Works jumpsuits. In Beauty Marked, she wore fake vampire fangs.

Personality[]

Sam's personality is less dreary than the stereotypical "goth" persona that is often depicted in media. She can be rational, sarcastic, forceful, bossy, passionate, and strong-willed, but also good-hearted and caring. Based on how she conducts herself, it would be fairer to say that she labels herself a goth more as an outlet for her independence and individuality than as an embrace of how the stereotypical goth is presumed to behave. She isn't spoiled and would rather earn real friends instead of dealing with the popularity and fake friendships that come with wealth.

Out of the three, Sam is usually the most rational and mature, often thinking on a realistic level compared to her friends and pointing out to Danny to focus more on ghost training and hunting. It is clear that she would do anything she could to help her friends during their numerous battles and keep them out of trouble.

As an ultra-recyclo-vegetarian (she doesn't eat anything with a face), Sam is often livid over the wider range of popular materials. In Mystery Meat, she petitions her ultra-recyclo-vegetarian diet to Casper High School.

Sam can be rather hypocritical at times. She advises Danny against using his ghost powers for abusing bullies, but in 'Memory Blank', she suggests that he uses them to scare away people from buying environmentally threatening trucks. This trait often gets on Danny and Tucker's nerves. Another example is in Double Cross My Heart, when she got angry at Danny for spying on her and Gregor but had previously done the same thing to him when he was going out with Valerie in Flirting With Disaster.

Additionally, Sam's poor qualities also include not taking responsibility for her actions. Up until "Memory Blank", no matter how much she’s at fault, she never accepted the fact she’s responsible, never admitted she can be wrong and wanted everyone to be her "Yes Man." Despite this, she’s willing to take the blame for things to cover for Danny.

Personality[]

She is a self-proclaimed goth girl, and is happy only on Christmas.

Powers & Abilities[]

• Fenton's Weaponry Mastery: Sam is skilled with the Fenton Weaponry. She, along with Tucker, is often shown using the Fenton Thermos with great aim. Sam has also been shown to be capable of wielding Bazooka's well enough to be able to aim and fire rapidly. Sam is often seen using the Specter Defector on numerous occasions.
• Paranormal & Mythology Knowledge: Due to being a goth, Sam is quite knowledgeable on dark or evil artifacts.
• Multilingual Skills: Like Danny, Sam learned how to speak Esperanto in case they met with Wulf again. She has also displayed some knowledge of French, Italian, and Japanese, between other languages.

Trivia[]

• She is Jewish and can presumably speak Hebrew as well.
