==General Information==
Samantha Sanders is a new Queen within the Vespucci Queens. While familiar with the inner-workings of politics, law, and law enforcement, Sam is newer in the active criminal world and is currently learning the how The State works without being on the side of Law. 
==Physical Description==
Samantha is a 5'11", lanky, fair-skinned blonde woman. She has brown eyes and her nose and cheek are spattered lightly with freckles. She is often considered 'traditionally pretty' that's exceptionally tarnished by her aggressive personality. 
==Background Information==
Samantha was born in Chicago, Illinois, where she was raised as a part of a long-standing prestigious family, particularly due to their business and legal prominence. The family's main businesses involved meat packing plants and various other entrepreneurial ventures in and around Chicago. The Sanders family, however, lost most of their prestige in 1871, when the Great Chicago Fire tore most of the family's businesses venues and surrounding structures. It was commonly believed that the fire itself was the cause of the family's sudden financial troubles and ruin, however in truth the Sanders family was involved in under-the-table debts, which had to be repaid once the fires struck.
Only in the last decade has the Sanders family returned to their former prestige, mostly due to the efforts of the family matriarch, Samantha's grandmother. It was also due to her that Samantha was inspired to attend law school, to help the family and their fishing business around Chicago. Sam first studied in Los Santos, attending the University of San Andreas, Los Santos and earning a Bachelor's Degree in Business in 2010 at age 21. After her grandmother's pressures, she went on to study at the Columbia Law School, where she earned her Juris Doctorate three years later in 2014. Despite her success at such a young age, Samantha struggled with refinement in law; her trainings and apprenticeships with various law firms often ended in abject failure, and while she had the drive to succeed, her skills needed honing.
Samantha found a life in Liberty City during her law school years, where she joined the Legal4U, LLP as an internship in her 1l Summer. She worked as a law clerk, and was responsible for managing and preparing documents and case files, research, and background analysis for more than ten cases at a time. After this internship concluded, Samantha joined Northram and Goldberg, LLP, as an Associate specializing in Insurance Defense. Increasing her workload to more than 40 cases at a time, Samantha worked there for three years, before she fell out of favor with the company after failing numerous large cases. In an attempt to hide her shame, and move forward without her past looming over her, Samantha moved to Los Santos in an attempt to start anew.
During her time in San Andreas prior to the bombs falling, Samantha's name grew to be notorious in the Department of Justice. She was ruthless and beloved and hated. She moved from being a failed fixer and defense attorney to working with the Police Department as an Assistant State Attorney, alongside the State Attorney as her mentor in an attempt to work a more noble path within the State's Detective Unit. Notable cases include:
* A civil case on regarding someone spreading poop throughout an apartment, won in-favor of the plaintiff.
* A criminal case regarding a live stream of the murder of a police commissioner.
* A high-profile criminal matter with an attempted succession from the State of San Andreas. 
** This resulted in the ring leader ending with 150 years in prison (Two life sentences)
* A highly-detailed criminal case involving a criminal mastermind's infamous persona of The Columbian.
* A criminal case regarding the forced injection of drugs into government employees; namely EMS
* A criminal case to prosecute the brutal murder of a close friend's mother.
* A criminal case involving police officers and members of the San Andreas Government approving a gang's growth of marijuana at University of San Andreas, Los Santos. Samantha dropped less than 24 hours after the filing due to political alliances.
==Relationships==
=== The Deer ===
Samantha and Fauna Mori have a long, checkered past. Fauna was the first person that seemed to show genuine, unconditional love to Samantha. Unfortunately, however, the former Attorney put her prosecutorial career before the relationship. It 'ended' poorly. Violently, with the feeling of betrayal and heartbreak. Sam left San Andreas shortly before the bombs fell and left Fauna in San Andreas with their other partners.
2024 - Samantha returns to San Andreas and sees Fauna on Twinsta. They reconnect and immediately start casually dating again. While casual, the love between the two is something Sam considers exceptionally strong. They just can't see each other as often as they can
=== The Queen ===
Heidi Jensen has become someone so unique to Samantha it is unfathomable that they connected. In reality, they didn't - It's just Samantha. She's the one that fell hard and addicted to the affection and fake love that Heidi gave her. They vented to each, exposed emotions and thoughts and feelings. Or, rather, fake feelings. Samantha considers Heidi to be someone precious to her and she would do anything for her.
