*"We can doubt everything except the need to be on the side of the one with the money!"*

-Samantha Gautier

## Appearance

She has blond hair, blue slanted eyes and a physique that, according to many, is enviable. She is tall and slender. According to the player in Drogo's route, her breath is mentholated.

She has six outfits on her portrait and usually wears her Mystery Spell School Uniform; a dark red long sleeved sweater with a white long sleeved button shirt with a red tie on the collar, a black pleated skirt with white panties underneath, white thigh-high socks and black dress shoes.

Her second outfit when she trains in gymnastics and cheering on Loan in Peter's route, she wears the cheerleader uniform- a matching uniform with white colors, silver collar around the neck and red, white and blue color pallet on the body with a skirt that goes above her knees, while also holding yellow pom-poms. The color of her cheerleader uniform resembles the colors of the United States flag.

Her third outfit when she goes out and during the university party where the player and Drogo had their first kiss, she wears a brown bomber vest with a white fur collar, a pink and brown stripped long sleeved undershirt and a dark brown pleated skirt with a black belt around the waist and black thigh-high boots. Her long blonde hair is pulled in a side braid and wears a necklace with a pink diamond pendant.

Her fourth outfit when she goes out on a date with Loan, according to herself, she wears a pastel pink shirt under a purple jacket and a flesh-colored bag, a pink and black checkered skirt and a silver necklace around her neck.

Her fifth outfit which it was seen in the promotional ads and as her swimwear, she wears a light pink camisole and a matching light pink bikini. Her bikini resembles a full panty as the player was disgusted to see her wearing it.

Her sixth outfit where she goes with the player, Drogo, Sebastian and Esteban at their expeditions she wears a purple bomber jacket with white fur on the collar and edge of the folded sleeves, a pale pink long sleeve shirt, black jeans and boots.

## Personality

Similar to Cassidy Sparke who is a socialite, Samantha was described in the game is a possessive person with Loan Huxley, who she claims to be the only person that has interested her and her partner since always. With the passage of time, she begins to be envious of the player for calling so much the attention of the boys in the university, and begins to insult her and leave her in ridicule, as when she twists her ankle out of jealousy when she thought she sent a kiss to Loan, that actually had went to Peter Bartholy.

In the second season of Peter's route, Peter and the player don't pay much attention to her and in chapter 1, Peter gives the player a piggy back ride in front of her much to Samantha's disgust. Samantha also weirdly shows her flirty and funny side to Peter and the player sometimes which shocks the player because it isn't like her.
Throughout the chapters, the player sees Samantha and Charles Huxley having many interactions and sees Samantha trying to flirt with Charles, it being clear that she is using him to get better grades. She later learns that the two of them are having an affair after she caught them making out and Charles groping Samantha. She later tells Loan about it and shows him the picture she took so he would leave her alone, after Loan sees it he bottles up his rage and flees away. The next day, Samantha goes missing and the player assumes that Loan had something to do with it.

However, after being fetched by Loan's father, Charles Huxley throughout the chapters within his safety measures and upon learning about his true nature as a werewolf and leading the Descendants of the Templars as their leader, and the main reason for all the women's disappearances, Samantha is no longer envious and mean to the player and became very concerned towards her by calling on her cellphone in Chapter 10, realizing that Charles had been kidnapped her and captured on their main headquarters at the Descendants of the Templars and noticed about the ritual they are about to commence at the lake of Mystery Spell Forest. Samantha told her that she was able to steal a cellphone and called the player because she heard Charles talking about her and thinks she could help her. She admitted that she knew her number heart because she was behind the prank calls she did to the player the previous year. Samantha apologized for how mean she had been to the player and promised her that if she helped her that she would start being nicer to her. However, her conversation with the player has been found by Charles during his briefing with his group, which resulted in her getting murdered by them before the player and Peter had arrived in the forest to rescue her. Sarah and Dorothy had heard her scream while they were on their way to the manor and found her body in the forest.

Like Doris, Lana Escobar and Fiona, she can be confrontational and envy, believing that the player would steal Loan from her and always hates the player to think she monopolized every other people around Mystery Spell. She is also being humiliated by Drogo Bartholy when he came to the player's defense after she always make sarcastic remarks about sex towards the player much to the latter's disgust as well as being pranked by the player when Drogo urges her to use magic to show off her panties during class causing the students to make fun of her. Drogo humiliates her for the second time in Sebastian's story where she made sarcastic remarks about the teacher and the student's work relationship thinking it was a romantic relationship and some horrible gossips towards both the player and Sarah because of their interest towards Sebastian by ruining their reputations.

In Sebastian's story, Samantha's mean streak became more prominent than last time as she sarcastically bullies the player by mocking her *four eyes* and a *garbage* even she quickly answers Sebastian's questions, going as far as she shows her arrogance towards her and always berating the player in front of Loan who became dislike to her actions. In Chapter 10, she even called the player as a *nerd* which results the player to drop out of university*.* She was also shown to be envious on the forbidden relationship between a teacher and a student which both Sebastian and the player were currently having. According to Sarah after both of them being ridiculed by her with Loan at her side, Samantha was known to make horrible gossips such as their dean in the university was having a relationship with a maintenance janitor but turns out that he likes women like she was until she was rejected by him because of the horrible gossips she had put through the university. Despite being chosen by Sebastian on his expeditions, she also disgusts old vehicles and always had motion sickness while being piloted by Esteban Dias  as she prefer luxurious vehicles than old models. Samantha is also interested in Esteban when she aggressively flirts him but fails at the same time as Esteban is very disgusted on her aggressive behavior even in their expeditions.

However throughout Sebastian's expeditions, Samantha also shows her vulnerability while she frequently makes sarcastic remarks on the player or both having engaged in heated arguments which resulted for her to get reprimanded by Sebastian as well as not being adjusted to the jungle environment due to her being raised by a spoiled rich family. Her actions from being complainant are also mentioned by Sebastian when he reminisced about his colleague Stephanie who is also not adjusted to the jungle environment but can treat her colleagues' injuries. Her vulnerability was demonstrated in the near end of Chapter 8 when she does not follow Sebastian's warnings after she discovers the forbidden romantic relationship between him and the player and giving them a barrage of horrible remarks while trying to ruin Sebastian's reputation from his teaching career by exposing his romantic relationship to the player from the dean of the university, leading herself to get bitten on her ankle by one of Ka-Ata-Killa's rattlesnakes at the cost of her horrible actions, giving her own life being threaten from getting poisoned from its snake's venom. In Chapter 9, Esteban reveals to the player of Samantha's condition which she suffers from a transient global amnesia after being bitten. Despite her behavior however, Samantha was afraid of her father, Simon Gautier when he decided to tell the dean to fire Sebastian which she tells him not to and became frustrated because of her current condition. But in the near end of Chapter 10 shows Samantha had sorted it out by taken aback of her father's decisions to tell the dean to fire Sebastian because of his forbidden relationship to the player. Her terrible actions seen in the final chapter of the story resulted for the player to drop out of the university to join with Esteban and Sebastian after he resigned his post as their college professor to return back to Peru before the devious Dean could fire him. In the second season, it was also revealed that Samantha continued to gossip horribly about the player despite she was already a college drop out after Sarah briefly informs her about it from her phone. This also happens in Chapter 4, where she horribly berates about her and Sebastian's current relationship which resulted her getting humiliated by Isabella Jones who finally talks back at her for berating her brother.

The players also noticed that her and Loan are always arguing with each other which means that Samantha appears as an on and off type due to her possessive attitude and because she was raised by her wealthy family, indicating that her parents also spoiled her for most of her life.

In the second season of Drogo's story, both Samantha and Sarah's behaviors just had their tables turned and she cries in upset when Sarah officially dates her boyfriend Loan and when the player finally returns to Mystery Spell as a vampire and insulted her actions since they when they first met in the first season, she was knocked away by the player's telekinetic powers and was subjected by her mind reading which resulted in her to show her fear much like how she was afraid of Drogo when he humiliates her. In Chapter 5 after Sarah prevents the player from using both of her powers, Samantha drenched her head with water while humiliating her any further. Just like she had done to the player in Sebastian's route, she falls victim to the player's bloodlust after being attacked at the cost of her horrible actions only to be stopped by Drogo who witnessed their confrontation by calming the player down. In Chapter 7, Samantha also shows her dislike of cheating when Sarah reveals that she was hanging out with Loan while he was on a drinking spree at the bar and she exposes his actions for not liking Samantha which caused her to get furious at him, creating a heated argument between them. Although, Sarah does that to restrain the player's rage and her vampiric abilities because of Samantha's constant remarks to her. In chapter 10 it is revealed that the player looks like Samantha's old school bully, which is why Samantha picks on her for revenge.

In Viktor Bartholy's route, Samantha is very worried about Loan and very adamant on finding him after he went missing due to going to The Arcane with vampires, unaware that he was sadly murdered because of them. So much so that she showed up to the Arcane and yelled at Conrad Bartholy asking him he with Loan and demanding to see him, only to be thrown out by Conrad. Samantha was so desperate to find Loan that she even went to Sarah for help and wanted to use a spell to help her find Loan and she didn't care if it would put her in danger or not. Samantha wouldn't give too many details on why she wanted to find him but only that she needed to badly, and seemed sad when she would talk about him. In the story, her finding out about Loan's death is never seen, but she was more than likely distraught. At the beginning, Loan apparently wanted her to join the Arcane with him (possibly to get her to join the Descendants or be a witness) but she left the meeting early due to finding it stupid and being sick of him ignoring her, which probably saved her life.

In Conrad's story route, which takes place 1 year after Viktor's story route, Samantha is still heartbroken about Loan's death and mourns for him, and spends many hours at his grave to visit him. She also has a very sweet friendship with Haku Kobayashi and the two hang out and eat dinner together as seen in chapter 3. She was also annoyed with Haku for not being able to attend Loan's memorial, but forgave him. She at first does not trust Elena Gabe since she is a vampire and states that she doesn't trust supernatural things, but she is very polite to Elena and supports her wanting to leave Mystery Spell and states that she also wants to leave Mystery Spell since it reminds her too much of Loan and that she wants to get away from the supernatural stuff, and because she's afraid that if she stays too long that she'll end up like Loan. This upsets Haku since he doesn't want his friend to leave but Samantha takes his hands and tells him that he can visit her anytime. Samantha also supports Elena wanting to defeat Viktor and tries to give her ideas on how to do it like with poisoned blood, but was sad to hear that Elena's friend already tried that on Viktor but it didn't work. Samantha also told Elena that the Bartholy brothers all died in a car crash and that they were buried next to Loan which she seemed sad by, despite not liking them. She also lets Elena, Haku, Chad Williams and Nao Arasaka stay at her house since Haku's Apartment is too small for them to prepare for their fight against Viktor and so Haku can practice his violin in peace. She was happy to let them stay there and felt like it was her way of helping them defeat Viktor.

## Trivia

* Samantha's surname *Gautier*, was revealed in chapter 8 of Sebastian's.
	+ The last name *Gautier* originates from France, so it's possible that Samantha comes from French heritage.
		- It's unknown if Samantha is bilingual or not, but if she is then she more than likely speaks French as a second language.
* In chapter 5 also in Sebastian's route, Samantha was revealed to be a shopaholic when she bought some new clothes from the shops in the airport. Her shopping spree also caused Sebastian and his students to get angry at her delay because of their last call on the flight to Lima in Peru.
* She is the only antagonist to have appeared in 3 different secret images.
* She was the first Mystery Spell big bad and the second recurring series big bad for all other story routes. The first one being Cassidy Sparke in Carter Corp.
* She is one of the 3 Mystery Spell characters who is not a supernatural.
* She is one of the 9 original Mystery Spell characters.
* She bears a resemblance to the real life actress Ashley Tisdale, specifically when she was in her role as Sharpay Evans in the hit Disney original movie franchise High School Musical, and the two characters have many things in common.
* She's the only female antagonist that has genuine spite for the players that is not caused by jealousy due to them liking the main love interest. As Samantha doesn't get along with any of the Bartholy brothers and is not interested in Sebastian.
	+ Her spite with the players from Peter and Nicolae's route comes from her thinking they are interested in Loan, her spite with the player from Drogo's route comes from childhood issues, as the player looks like Samantha's old school bully and Samantha wanting to have petty revenge, and her spite with the player from Sebastian's route comes from her thinking that she is a two-faced liar who had an affair with Sebastian for her spot on the expedition.
* In the secret image she's in where Drogo and the player can be seen kissing, her hair is shown to be down, but in that scene her hair was tied in a side braid.
	+ She was also wearing a vest in the scene, but her vest is not shown in the secret image.
* She has the fifth most hairstyles and second most outfits in the game than any other character, Jake Stewart has the most outfits and Sofia Flores/Lisa Parker/Camilla Cresset/Jenny Blake have the most hairstyles.
	+ She has a total of 6 outfits and 3 hairstyles.
* Sebastian's main character and Peter's main character are the only main characters that she can sometimes get along with.
	+ She's never rude to Viktor's main character but that could be because they never really interact.
	+ She is never actually rude to Elena Gabe, she is rather very polite and supportive to her despite not trusting her since she's a vampire, but is considered her friend.
* Out of her and Cassidy Sparke, it is much more likely that she would win in a fight due to her athletic abilities and the fact that she sprained the player's ankle.
	+ In fact, it is highly likely that she would win in a fight with any other female antagonist excluding Lana Escobar, Alicia Boone, and Ka-Ata-Killa, as no other female antagonists have shown signs to be psychically adept to win in a fight.
* She is the only cheerleader in the entire game's series.
* In two ads, she can be seen in her party outfit with her hair to the side in one and her hair in a side braid in the other. She never wears her hair like this with that outfit in any of the games.
* In an ad she's in with Drogo, she can be seen with a hair glitch, where all 3 of her hairstyles are bundled into one.
* Unlike Cassidy Sparke, Samantha is not two-faced and treats everyone the same. As Cassidy will act like a nice girl to people that can further her career and hides the facts that she's mean to every woman on the floor from her superiors. Samantha however treats everyone rudely and is very open about the fact that she does not like the players, even towards the men she likes, like Loan Huxley, Esteban Dias and sometimes Drogo Bartholy, who often give her spite for it.
* She is the only antagonist that can be a playable character, excluding Camilla Cresset since she was redeemed.
	+ She is also the only antagonist that has her very own extra love scene, which she shares with Loan Huxley.
* There is a theory that she will be redeemed in a story route one day due to all the attention the writers are giving her and her relationship with Loan.
	+ This theory turned out to be kind of true near the end of Peter's season 2.
	+ This theory was confirmed as seen with her development from Viktor and Conrad Bartholy's story routes where she is no longer an antagonist.
* She has many similarities to Becca Davenport from the series The Freshman from the popular mobile app game, Choices.
* In her own words, she doesn't care if people love her or hate her, as long as they don't ignore her.
* In her extra love scene, she seems to have a deep hatred for the player, but also a deep obsession for her too, as she can't stop thinking about her, even while making love to Loan.
	+ There is a theory that she actually has feelings for the player and covers them up by bulling her.
	+ She is also unaware that she is the bully in the extra love scene and thinks that the player and Sarah are in the wrong, which means she believes that her behavior is totally natural and that she's deluded.
* It is explained in her extra love scene why she dislikes the player in Sebastian's route so much, unlike other routes. She believes that the player is pretending to be a good girl that's done no wrong while trying to suck up to and sleep with Sebastian for special privileges in private. Which is not far fetched as the player really was having an affair with Sebastian.
* She can be considered as the 3rd or 4th love interest in Sebastian's route due to her repressed feelings and the connection she makes with the player, and because of the fact that she has a subtle interest in her.
* It is also very possible that she is based on the real life actress and reality TV star, Paris Hilton.
	+ The two look extremely alike and come from similar backgrounds, and although Paris is not deceptive, they can be known for their "dumb blonde" acts and seductive behaviors.
* She was the first character to replace the main character as the main heroine in an extra love scene. The second one was Jenny Blake.
* She has many similarities to the character Santana Lopez from the hit TV show *Glee*. Portrayed by the late actress, Naya Rivera, who passed away on July 8, 2020.
	+ Santana was revealed to be a lesbian and would bully people to ease her insecurities which is probably what Samantha does too.
		- Despite baring personality traits to Santana, she also bares some psychical resemblances to Quinn Fabray from Glee, who was portrayed by actress Dianna Agron.
* She is the fourth person to own a luxury car after Daryl, Ryan, Joe, Giorgio and James and the first female to ride luxury cars as she owns a Porsche. She is soon followed by Sofia Flores in Blue Swan who now owns a 2003 Ford Mustang given by the player as a gift.
* Samantha and Loan are the only main and recurring characters that have died throughout the duration of a story route.
* Her hair is supposedly much longer than it appears to be in the back, as it reaches down almost to the bottom of her back as seen in one of the secret images she's in.
	+ This could just be an oversight by the artists though.
* Samantha is considered an antagonist in Viktor Bartholy's story route, however, she is never rude to the player, and her reasoning's for being rude to characters like Conrad are understandable since she is very worried about Loan and his whereabouts. In fact, the player even has the option to side with her once or twice.
	+ The main character in Conrad's route, Elena, is fully on Samantha's side which takes place 1 year after Viktor's route and even feels terrible for her because of what happened to Loan.
* Samantha is one of the 2 Mystery Spell characters and the only non-love interest that appears in every single story route and she is the only series big bad to appear in every story route as Cassidy Sparke did not appear in Mark Leviels' story route while Samantha did appear in Viktor's.
* It's hinted that Samantha is possibly a supernatural in Viktor's route. The player could not use her vampire ability on her when she wanted to and she was able to get into The Arcane without trouble which is protected by artifacts to keep unwanted people out. If Samantha is a supernatural, it's unknown if she knows about it or not.
	+ If she's not a supernatural, then it's possible that she's just immune to some supernatural abilities and spells.
* Due to some of the clues that Is it Love? has dropped and due to some of the changes in her personality writing wise, and having dropped hints that she is a supernatural, Samantha could possibly get a mini-series dedicated to her one day. This is just an assumption though but the theory is not far fetched, as Is it Love? is not opposed to giving antagonists story routes, especially to ones considered redeemed.
	+ Loan is supposed to get a mini-series one day so her role in the story could be the opposite of what is to be predicted.
* Samantha is a unique female antagonist since she has never been a love rival for the player, and she probably never will be even if Loan does get a mini-series.
* There is a theory that if Loan ever gets a mini-series, then she will possibly be the main character like how she was in her Extra Love Scene.
	+ This would be a very risky move considering Samantha's past as an antagonist.
* Samantha can officially be labeled as a protagonist in Conrad's route, which she was transitioning to as seen from Peter's season 2 and Viktor's season 1.
	+ Samantha does qualify for the contradictory character category since she is not redeemed in other story routes such as Drogo's, Nicolae's and Sebastian's. Those seasons all came out and ended before her transition began though, so she will more than likely receive more redeeming writing if those story routes receive more seasons.
* The first secret image she ever appeared in where her skirt was lifted up by the wind due to the player and Drogo's prank has been covered up on Is it Love? Stories to where her skirt remains normal and doesn't show her underwear from behind like in the original.
* Even though Samantha is considered a redeemed character, it is unknown if her redemption will continue through Drogo Bartholy's season 3 or if they will make her stay as an antagonist there.
