Samiya is a demon rebel who made her debut in (CHAPTER NAME) She’s the legal guardian of Zaza, due to his mothers passing and due to the Kings neglectfulness. She was also the lover of Lilith before she was forced with King Upsidedown and gave up her form to become Zaza.
They both stayed in a giant truck like cabin until Peridot came along, they then started living in an abandoned ship that Kiwi Quartz and her team used to hide in during the war.
She took Zaza to raise him as her own as that is what Lilith would’ve wanted. She seems defensive of Zaza and is constantly concerned about him, she’s more at ease when Peridot and the other gems come around to keep him company.
In the years past after “Change your mind” she soon left inkwell temporarily to do charity work. 
== Personality ==
Sam is a kind, mature, and caring individual. 
Unfortunately, as a result of her busy job and the stress of taking care of and providing for Zaza, she tends to be fairly temperamental and sarcastic with everyone. 
Zaza refers to her anger as “the wrath of the chubaba”. While this is usually reasonable, considering how Zaza and Peridot tend to disobey the rules and get into trouble with society, at times her temper gets the better of her and she jumps to conclusions, which causes her not to listen to the whole story. An example is when she first met peridot, thinking she was going to hurt Zaza. She only backed down when Zaza stepped in and admitted to disobeying her rules.
Nonetheless, she is protective of her family, particularly Zaza, and will attack anyone who harms them and defend them from any threat. She loves Zaza more than anyone or anything in the world and does all she can to keep him from harm. She is kind and hardworking, and she proves that while she is somewhat irritable, she can also be compassionate and understanding as she usually forgives Zaza for their antics. Just like her son, she loves and misses her partner Lilith very much and is usually depressed on the anniversary of the day she died.
She is the breadwinner of her family and loves Lilith more than anything, but at times is ashamed she didn't make more of her life. From the number of village watching medals she has in her room, it is possible that she could've had a successful career in the upsidedown kingdom or even had gone to the king himself had it not been for the death of Lilith as well as realizing his neglectful and selfishness. As a result of Lilith’s death, she decided to devote her time to taking care of Zaza which resulted in her having to put Zaza’s future over her own, which includes giving up her chances of a huge career for Zaza’s sake, proving how devoted she is to Zaza, the one person she loves and cares for more than everything else in the world. Since Zaza is what Sam values most, her worst fear, in fact is Zaza being hurt or taken away from her or losing Zaza in any way possible as shown with. Which is why she is so aggressive when seeing Peridot for the first time.
She is very mature and wise for a demon her age and the voice of reason, possibly as a result of losing Lilith and being within the wrath of the King and his soldiers, having to grow up and be independent at such a “young age”, as she is shown to teach Zaza important life lessons, such as taking responsibility for his actions, not making fun of people based on their appearances, and having friends like you for who you are, not your appearances. Samiya also is concerned with Zaza’s naive belief that Aquamarine, Jasper or even Peridot are his friends, despite how nice they are to him. She’s hesitant on him going into town, after meeting Sarah. She’s hostile towards them too.
She’s much more carefree with Zaza and his decisions after the events of “Change your mind”
