**Sam** was a farm girl from Veldt who befriended Jimmy. She was portrayed by Charlotte Maggi in *Rebel Moon*.

## Biography

A farm girl from a Veldtian farming village, Sam helped with the various farming tasks, such as sowing wheat seeds and carrying water. She lived with her parents until they each abandoned her, after which the town came together to support her. Her father first, leaving for Providence never to return, followed shortly by her mother, who left into the winter wilderness to gather firewood, but likewise, never returned. In her spare time, Sam enjoyed quilting and made quilts for the villagers when they needed them.

Kora was the first outsider Sam met, who Sam befriended and worked alongside. Sam confided in Kora that she didn't believe she'd find a romantic partner from the village, instead feeling that he'd come from the stars like Kora did. During the invasion of Veldt, Sam made a daisy chain for Jimmy, which unlocked something in his mechanical mind. Later that evening, Marcus, one of the invading soldiers, called her over to the granary where they were staying under the pretense of requiring water. He and his comrades grabbed her and dragged her into the granary against her will. Kora heard this and arrived to help, revealing incredible combat capabilities Sam and the soldiers never would have expected. One of the soldiers, Private Aris, also stood up for Sam, but was easily disabled by the other men. Kora managed to take down most of the soldiers, while Aris used her distraction to free himself and fight back, as well. At the end, it came down to Faunus using Sam as a human shield with only Kora and Aris before him. Jimmy arrived and Faunus commanded him to kill the two opponents, but instead, Jimmy chose his own path and fired a slag into Faunus' head. Jimmy ran off, but Sam was saved.

Sam joined the group that ventured out to recover Kora's ship and was happy to spend the time with the newcomer, Aris, who was receiving the Imperium's transmissions on behalf of his fallen unit, however, who was never truly one of them. When unable to quickly repair the ship, the group made camp for the night to find that someone had come by and left food for them while they slept and fixed the ship for them. They would later learn that these were the actions of Jimmy, who had taken a watchful position outside of the town for the sake of Aris and Sam, who had each been kind to him.

## Relationships

**Jimmy** was a mechanical heavy-lifter for the Imperium that arrived during their invasion of Veldt. Sam made a daisy crown for him and she reminded him of Princess Issa, who gave him a sense of warmth for the universe. Jimmy saved Sam's life against his superior officer's orders.
