Samuel

**Samuel** is both the player's childhood friend and ex-boyfriend within Colin's route.

## Personality

Samuel is described by the player as her childhood friend who is an adorable boy with the same interests as hers. By the time she moved away from Rochester to New York, this implies their relationship became soured. At first, he was seen as a calm and sensible boy who only looks for an intelligent explanation on why the player suddenly left leaving Rochester; but then he starts to lose his temper when the player is now with Colin during the concert which he began to make insults towards them and personally confront Colin. Before the player left Rochester to New York, he wanted her to marry him indicating that he wants the player to become his fiancée but she presumably rejected his marriage proposal and the main reason why she decided to move away from him.

In the second season which takes place six months after the first season, Samuel gradually changed due to him marrying another woman who is a travelling ballerina from New York after the player and he gave some good advice to the player about her musical profession. He also displays his maturity and was apologetic for his recent actions and realized that he and the player are not compatible for each other and moved on with his life. But didn't give advice to the player about Colin because normally the couples sometimes are on and off and he tells the player to lessen her thoughts about Colin to avoid any conflict with each other. Although, his presence angered Colin who thought that Samuel and the player were getting back together, not knowing that Samuel is about to marry someone else, resulting in Colin's relationship with the player becoming soured.

## Season 1

Samuel was mentioned a few times throughout the chapters by the player before she was joined by Colin Spencer and Adam Peterson in their band. Samuel appears in the final chapter of the story as he reunites with the player who is now a member of the rock band led by Colin as they perform in their hometown at Rochester. He asked her why she had left Rochester to New York as the player replies that she doesn't accept him and his marriage proposal. Samuel angrily threatens her for what she had done only to be defended by both Colin and Adam whom he made horrible remarks about, causing him and Colin to have a fist-fight and Samuel was beaten by Colin by punching him in the nose and was bleeding heavily.

Samuel became angered while covering his bleeding nose, stating that the player is no longer the person he had first met before leaving the premises. Only for Colin to scold her because of him as Adam tells him that the player is trying to fix her friendly relationship with Samuel. Samuel is last seen watching the Nightmareden concert after Colin breaks his nose during their fist-fight as he was the one who caused a friction between Colin and the player until her father accepts their current relationship.

## Season 2

In Chapter 5, Samuel was mentioned by the player's father when he calls his daughter. He informs her that Samuel is engaged and is about to marry a new girl after the player did not care so much about him following their massive argument six months ago. The player also mentions him when Colin wants to know about her real problems. In Chapter 6, he was mentioned again by the player when she hangs out with Malaïka and Lisa Parker when they were talking about their exes. Malaïka gives her advice that Samuel had already moved on and she too has to move on with her life as well. In Chapter 7, Samuel makes an appearance after he had a conversation with the player by text messaging. Samuel apologizes for his horrible actions from the first season and realized the player's real profession and passion was music. He also reveals how he met a travelling ballerina from New York who traveled to Toronto, Canada, and she later became his fiancée and the player easily knew about his actions because of the news and gossips, much to his surprise. He soon gives some friendly advice to the player about making a new project for Nightmareden aside from doing a a duet with Malaïka. The player thanked him for his advice as he bowed to her in respect. As they go their separate ways, Samuel was later mentioned by Colin who misunderstood their interaction and thought the player was about to get back together with him only for the player to clarify that they were not together which leads to their current relationship becoming soured when she slaps him across his face for calling her words, and the latter angrily decided not to be with her again before stomping away, leaving the player upset and disbelief.

## Trivia

* He bears a slight resemblance to the real life singer and actor James Maslow when he was younger.
* He was the very first ex-boyfriend of the player to appear on screen during a story route, later being followed by Chuck Stanford and Ashton Darrow.
* Some players have reported that he does not appear on screen when they play season 1, chapter 11 after the recent updates and that he only appears off screen as an unseen character. If it's not a glitch and Is it Love? really did make it to where he no longer appears on screen when he shows up, it would mark the second time that a character was downgraded to unseen character status. However he reappears along with the player's father in the second season.
