Ravenclaw

**Samantha "Sam" Endora Gillian Redfern** is a non-canonical half-blood witch and pawn broker mentioned in *The Family Clock*; she is one of the Redfern triplets and was sorted into Ravenclaw. Like her sisters, she is a metamorphmagus, so her looks can change, but her default hair colour is "a rich dark brown". At not quite 180 cm tall (5'11"), she is somewhat self-conscious about her height and prefers flat shoes such as muggle trainers. She is named after "the best-known witches in America" (according to her muggle mother).

The Redfern sisters are three weeks younger than Jessie Tickes, meaning they were born either in mid-November 1977 or in early August 1978 (see The Family Clock#Timeline inconsistencies). They don't know the order they were born in, since their birth certificates all have the same time; it was magically read from the nearest timepiece, which happened to be stopped.

Sam's taste in boyfriends "runs to athletic males", especially if they are taller than she is, and she fell hard for Ian Tickes. However, she has not had much luck in the field of romance; none of her three previous relationships lasted more than six months. This hasn't stopped her from publishing erotica under a pseudonym, or designing sex toys.

She likes Italian food a lot more than her sisters do, so it is a rare treat, and her favourite desert is a milk chocolate Magnum. She also loves muggle movies, especially from the 1930s and 1940s, although she takes them seriously enough that she tends to pick them apart and criticize every inconsistency and logical flaw. She is allergic to roses, bee stings and walnuts, and she regularly visits a muggle ophthalmologist to pick up eye drops; her eyes and eyelids are extremely sensitive to touch and she has a low tolerance for bright light, making her tend to wear sunglasses whenever it isn't cloudy.

Some time around early 1996 she started smoking; she didn't do it for long and in October she had gone without for six months, but still felt cravings when especially stressed out. She had taken to chewing gums instead, and particularly liked ones with spicy taste. She planned to buy a motorbike for the money she saved on not buying cigarettes.

Her mother taught Sam and her sisters to shoot, and when she turned eighteen she bought a 1940 Mosin-Nagant rifle in a pawn shop; she calls it *Sasha*.

Sam does a very funny Becky Feathersham impression act. During her time in Hogwarts, she gave Filch's cat a set of catnip mice enchanted to come alive for seven hours per day, thus providing "some much-needed exercise".

Unlike her sisters, Sam tends to hold a grudge.
