==Powers and Stats==
Tier: 
Name: Sameen Shaw, Indigo Five Alpha
Origin: Person of Interest
Gender: Female
Age: 32 years old
Classification: Human, Former U.S. Marine, Former ISA operative
Powers and Abilities: Peak Human Physical Characteristics, Martial Arts Shaw is skilled in close quarters combat, holding her own against opponents physically larger than herself with little trouble. She, like Reese, exhibits an extremely high proficiency with numerous hand to hand combat styles, in particular Krav Maga.), Marksmanship (Shaw is a highly skilled marksman with a range of firearms, including hand guns and sniper rifles. As a member of the team, Shaw routinely uses a sniper rifle to lend support. She once used a sniper rifle to shoot a man in the dark, in the arm (so as to incapacitate, but not kill him), through a brick wall (“Liberty”). Unlike Reese, who utilizes the C.A.R. System shooting technique (Center Axis Re-lock) as a foundation upon which other shooting skills were built, Shaw is much more traditional in technique, stance, and so forth, likely an intentional difference to show her more "traditional" military history (U.S. Marine Corps for Shaw and U.S. Army for Reese, including Infantry, Airborne, Ranger, Sniper, Special Forces Soldier ("Green Beret"), and 1st SFOD-D Operator.) She was able to shoot at the President of the United States, but purposefully fire near-misses to keep him from falling into a trap. (“Synecdoche”), Immense PainTolerance, Stealth Mastery (As an ISA agent, Shaw would also require a wealth of skills in secrecy and investigation. However, she usually prefers to act as an assassin, and often doesn't blend in well socially. Finch provided her with a business card to his Harold Wren identity as a job offer. She turned this down, however within only a few weeks, she managed to track down Harold at their "base." Shaw is rather fond of various bugs and wiretapping as well. She plants a bug in Team Machine's base almost as soon as she finds it, and it was unable to be found by Harold (3x05, "Разговор"), Hacking (As a part of his job, Shaw regularly spies on persons of interest by cloning their phones, hacking their emails, and following them from afar.)
Attack Potency: Street level (Capable of defeating multiple fully grown men in combat)
Speed: Athletic Human with Peak Human combat and reaction speed (Comparable to John Reese)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 1 (Comparable to Root)
Striking Strength: Street level (Can knock out multiple fully grown men)
Durability: Street level (Survived gunshot wounds without a bulletproof vest)
Stamina: Superhuman (Again, like Reese, high pain threshold, though this is more due to her personality disorder. It makes her rather tenacious and resistant to pain in general. For instance, after being losing a lot of blood from an untreated shoulder wound, she kept on going, simply duct taping her shoulder together. Resistant to torture due to some of the same reasons. When being threatened with an iron, she simply replied that she "enjoyed this sort of thing ("2x16, "Relevance"). In one extreme example, she managed to resist most of the psychological effects of over 7,053 simulations over about nine months. She even managed to keep count. These simulations had the primary objective of using her own memories against her, to lead Samaritan to the Machine and the rest of the team. Admittedly, her aloof/apathetic nature sort of ended up working against her in this. When Samaritan reached out with its simulations in the last few, she actually killed one of Samaritan's targets (5x07, "QSO"). She has shown an ability to withstand pain enough to perform medical procedures on herself, such as a blood transfusion or removing a bullet.)
Range: Standard melee range, Hundreds of meters with weaponry
Standard Equipment: Heckler & Koch USP Compact
Intelligence: Gifted (Shaw was a member of ISA. She is trained in surveillance, information-gathering (passive, active, and "forced") and counter-intelligence techniques. She has also received training in interrogation techniques and shows a near inhuman resistance to physical, mental, and emotional torture herself (her SERE instructor must have loved her). Along with being able to plan assassinations, Shaw is also capable of using her knowledge to prevent one. Shaw is a medical doctor, and described by her colleagues during her residency as "technically brilliant" and having a "brilliant mind". She is noted to have gone to truly heroic measures in an attempt to save a patient though she ultimately failed. Shaw is also good at reading others, and determining a plan of attack in response. Recognizes secret service agents by formation. Spots weaknesses in every person in the room. She managed to resist of over 7,053 simulations over about nine months. She even managed to keep count.)
Weaknesses: Standard human weaknesses. Nearly incapable of feeling emotion.
