Samantha and Sebastian

Samantha and Sebastian is a semi-rivalry seen in Mystery Spell.

## Overview

Samantha and Sebastian is a small rivalry between Samantha Gautier and Sebastian Jones seen mostly in Sebastian's route, specifically season 1 although there are some hints to it in season 2. They met when Samantha became a student in Sebastian's Myths and Legends class at Mystery Spell that Samantha makes good grades in.

The two don't have a lot of history, background or interactions but Samantha and Sebastian are the reason why the expedition is Sebastian's route had to end early which makes it worth talking about.
Samantha appears to have a crush on Sebastian and finds him attractive but Sebastian doesn't feel the same way and only views her as a student. They don't hate each other but can be seen being annoyed by each other in certain scenes.

Sebastian however, in his route, did think of Samantha as a great student due to her grades and believed in her enough to want her to on the expedition and always encouraged her when she didn't want to do the hard work, and defended her against the player when she would doubt Samantha or was annoyed by her and wondered why she got to go on the expedition, but Samantha never seemed to appreciate any of this support and took the opportunity he gave her for granted.

Their "rivalry" really started when Samantha caught Sebastian and the player having an intimate moment together while on the expedition and they were both furious. Samantha was mostly upset with the player but she felt their relationship was inappropriate and said that it was illegal, and thought that Sebastian had given the player good grades and let her go on the expedition due to their relationship while sidelining other students and their grades like her in favor for the player which she felt was unfair, she threatened to expose their relationship and blackmail Sebastian and get him fired which made Sebastian mad but he kept his calm and wouldn't let Samantha get one over on him and said that he was going to resign from the university before they even got back to where she wouldn't even have the chance to expose them which visually bothered Samantha as she knew she wouldn't get the satisfaction of doing it herself as she's one who lives for gossip.

But during their argument, Samantha was bitten by a rattlesnake, and even after all of her threats, Sebastian was still worried for her and helped her get back to the plane so they could get her to a hospital which means he helped save her life. After she healed from the rattlesnake bite, she had memory loss and forgot about catching Sebastian and the player making out, but in season 2, she still spreads rumors about them can be heard making fun of them a lot which annoys Sebastian.

It's a small relationship but an interesting one do to all the faith and admiration Sebastian had for Samantha that she didn't even realize, and also because of all the contempt for him she developed during the scene where she caught him with the player. Her anger could have been a result of jealously of him being with the player and not her though, as even though she called their relationship illegal and inappropriate, a student-teacher relationship is something that she would do herself, as seen with her and Charles Huxley, but it also really could have been due to her being frustrated due to possible unfairness with favoritism of Sebastian towards the player as mentioned above.
