* Early Life
* You and Me

Samuel William Winchester was born on May 2, 1983, to John and Mary Winchester in Lawrence, Kansas. He is the couple's second child, four years younger than his older brother Dean.
When Sam was exactly six months old, on November 2, 1983, his mother, Mary, was killed in his nursery by the Yellow-Eyed demon, Azazel. Mary walked into Sam's nursery while Azazel was feeding the infant demon blood attempting to turn him into one of the special children. He has developed slight mental trauma due to this day and doesn't like Halloween. Infant Sam is saved from the ensuing fire when his father takes him out of his crib and gives him to a four year old Dean, who then carries him outside. John unsuccessfully tries to rescue Mary and becomes somewhat emotionally unstable.
Sam and Dean spent their childhood moving from town to town while their father hunted the supernatural being that had killed their mother. He trains his sons in Hunting and kills anything supernatural he comes across. As soon as able, Sam was left in the care of Dean. However, when Dean grew old enough to go on hunts with John, Sam was left alone.
Sometime in the late 1980s, John was hunting a Shtriga in Fort Douglas, Wisconsin and left Sam and Dean alone in a hotel room. While watching a TV show as Sam slept, Dean got bored and went out. But when he came back, he found the Shtriga feeding on Sam. John arrived quickly, providing the suspicion that he used his children as bait.
Until he turned 8 years old, Sam believed his mother had died in a car accident and his father was a traveling salesman. When he found his father's journal, he demanded that Dean explain. Dean confirmed the existence of the paranormal. When Sam was nine years old, Sam created an imaginary friend named Sully, who unknown to him was a Zanna sent to guide him.
Sully was there for Sam when he wasn't allowed on hunts. He attempted to encourage Sam to run away and live his own life, but when John changed his mind and permitted Sam to accompany him and Dean, Sam rejected Sully as a fake, causing his imaginary friend to leave.
When Sam was eleven he spent his Thanksgiving with another family. He remembers it fondly as it was (according to Sam) his first actual Thanksgiving; for the other Thanksgivings he and Dean would have a bucket of extra crispy chicken while their dad would pass out on a couch. Sam loved this memory so much that it actually appeared on his road to Heaven, which shows only the happiest and most loved memories of a person's life.
Sam started hunting alongside his brother and father around the age of twelve in 1995. However, he began to crave a normal life without monsters when a teacher of his, unaware of the whole story, encouraged him to seek alternatives to "the family business." On the 4th of July 1996 Sam and Dean snuck out to a field with fireworks where, according to Dean, they had burned the field down - this is one of Dean's Heaven-Road memories, and, as they share a heaven, also one of Sam's.
Dean frequently left Sam at Plucky Pennywhistle's Magical Menagerie before going to hang out with girls, which is possibly a cause for Sam's fear of clowns.
When Sam was about 15, John and Dean left Sam alone to hunt a kitsune while Sam compiled the research for them so they could kill it properly. This is where he met Amy, who, unbeknownst to Sam, was the daughter of the kitsune that John and Dean were hunting. Sam eventually learned his friend was a kitsune but decided to let her go when she had killed her own mother to save his life. Later on, Dean killed her, betraying Sam's wishes and request for him to leave her alone.
At some point Sam ran away to Flagstaff, Arizona while Dean was watching him. He stayed there for 2 weeks and while he was there he took in a dog and called it Bones. Sam eventually went to Stanford University, but was unable to return to his family, as John had forbade him from returning. While there, he had a long-term relationship with Jessica Moore.

On November 15, 2006 Dean tried to check him and Sam out of the Bowles Motel and Lodge in South Bend, Indiana. But his credit card was declined and he didn't have another fake one with the same name - Dean Winwood. So Sam used one of his fake credit cards under the alias Sam McGillicuddy.

On December 4, 2006 Sam and Dean visited the Grand Canyon. As they were leaving Sam heard somebody crying and convinced Dean to check it out.
## Appearance

Sam has shaggy brown hair that grows longer and smoother; he had a fringe as a child as well as in his early to mid twenties. He later grew the fringe out. His eye color seems to change; sometimes they appear light green, sometimes they appear brown, etc. He is noted by others to be handsome. Sam is very tall, 6'5" (195.58 cm) having a muscular build with broad shoulders and a muscular chest. This is especially ironic considering that he used to be teased for being short and wiry as a teenager. Like Dean, Sam often wears multiple layers of clothing (namely plaid shirts) as well as jeans and boots.

## Personality

Sam is usually kind, empathetic, intelligent and independent. He is often the exasperated voice of reason in his relationship with Dean, who in turn sees him as a geek or prude, and teasingly calls him "bitch". Dean has respect for Sam as a hunter and trusts Sam to "have his six". Sam is repeatedly telling Dean that killing humans is wrong, and he does not enjoy the job as much as Dean. He does not seem to drink alcohol as much as Dean does and has a much healthier diet than his brother (Dean scoffs at Sam's diet and calls it "rabbit food").

## Name

## Hunter Characteristics

* Skills
* Special Child Abilities

From 2005-200, he is often hesitant about using these skills because of his desire to be a 'normal' citizen, however this lessens over time.

* **Expert Hunting Skills:** Trained by his father from early childhood, Sam possesses excellent combat and hunting abilities
	+ **Expert Hand-to-Hand combat:** John started training the boys when they were quite young, as Sam, at 14 years old, manages to beat a boy twice his size to the ground without much effort. He is proficient in hand-to-hand combat and possesses remarkable physical strength for a human, being able to hold his own and even overpower certain supernatural creatures such as certain types of monsters and lower-level demons.
	+ **Marksmanship:** Both Winchester brothers are excellent shots, and are very skilled at both armed and unarmed combat. He is also well-versed in weapons use, from blades to firearms and can kill any creature that is affected by this type of weaponry.

As a result of being fed demon blood as a baby by Azazel and thus being branded as one of the Special Children, Sam has exhibited various supernatural powers and an immunity to demon powers and diseases. Initially his powers were weak and fluctuating due his inexperience and later hesitation of using said powers.

* **Control Immunity** - to be immune to control and subordination powers. Kate is completely immune to a variety of demonic powers and of those of other Special Children. She was unaffected by Andrew Gallagher and Ansem Weems' Mind Control powers, the Croatoan Virus.

	+ **Precognition:** to perceive future events before they happen.

	+ **Retrocognition:** to see events after they have already happen.
	+ **Clairsentience:** to perceive the residual information of an object and/or person. Initially, Sam's powers manifested solely as a form of heightened senses allowing him to sense the presence of supernatural. Sam is able to sense supernatural presences in the old Winchester family home and was able to sense Dean's spirit during a time of great stress.
* **Telekinesis:** to move objects/people with the mind. When under extreme situations, Sam displayed minor feats of telekinesis.
