She is said to become handsome when she gets older. She has a bump on her nose and a check mark-shaped scar under her right eye. Unlike her sister Samantha's ears aren't pierced. She wore a pale-blue nightgown and neatly tied navy blue sneakers.

## Personality

Samantha is more mature than Susie, despite being a year younger. She rejects Susie's favorite activities and prefers to do educational activities, which often makes her classmates make fun of her. She is also independent and assertive, but not to the point of being rude.

## History

About a year ago, Samantha's older sister, Susie, was murdered at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. This tragic death tore her family apart, causing her father to leave her, her mother to take drugs as a way of coping with losing her, and Samantha to need psychological help with her therapist, Rhonda, who says that something is stuck in her head. A boy named Drew approaches Samantha to ask if she’s seen Susie’s ghost, as he believes ghosts are real and thinks they hang around if they want something.

However, Susie's spirit haunts the house and although Samantha senses her presence, she ignores her. Every night at midnight, Chica comes to the house and will take Susie’s hand, leading her away from the house. As the two leave, Susie feels herself fading away until she is suddenly back at her house by morning.

Rhonda informs Samantha that her mother plans to send her somewhere else, and she decides to reveal what she’s been holding back: Her and Susie had a fight over a doll named Gretchen, as Samantha wanted it to study while Susie wanted it to play. Susie had taken the doll and hidden it. Before she was killed, Susie had told Samantha she was going to find a better hiding spot. Samantha feels better, but when Susie blows into her ear, she goes silent, having felt it. Susie doesn’t remember where she had hidden Gretchen and tries to get Samantha to help her. Susie draws a three-part story for Samantha. The first confuses her, so Susie makes a second one, freaking Samantha out when she feels the air shift around her.

Samantha has her mother read a story about a happy ghost who is saddened to learn that his family is moving away. The ghost eventually learns that if he went to a special place of sparkly light for truly happy ghosts, then he can be with his family forever. Once finished, Samantha decodes Susie’s drawings. The first part shows Susie trying to ask Samantha to help find Gretchen, with a strange chick behind her. The second and third parts show Susie being led away from the house by the chick. The second drawing consists of three parts which are just Susie being led away from the door on different nights, and Samantha concludes that this means Susie only has two nights left. Samantha searches the house but can’t find the doll.

That night, Chica goes inside the house, restraining Susie. Samantha tries hiding under her bed but Chica tricks her into coming out, so she climbs out of her window as Chica rips her nightgown. She jumps down from the porch roof and turns on the light to the kitchen, tricking Chica as she runs towards her father’s old office. She discovers Gretchen in a secret room which her father used to make stories about. Samantha escapes outside as Chica and Susie begin to leave. Samantha shouts for them to stop and they keep going, but suddenly Susie appears before Samantha. She hands Gretchen over to Susie and the two sister's hug. Samantha watches Susie return to Chica and continue walking, disappearing as Oliver drops his last leaf. Samantha is certain that Susie, like the happy ghost, is going where she can be with her family forever.
