samantha is generally an extremely pleasant person. she will always place other people's interests above her own, even when it comes to people she'd prefer not to speak to. her usually calm nature usually leads people to the assumption that she is shy and this is certainly not the case, though she can be slightly self-conscious in the presence of nobles. her colleagues often expect her to duck and avoid any confrontation and so when they say something unpleasant to her, they're rather shocked to see her bite back. as with most kind people, she does sometimes have the problem of being used. her naturally helpful personality can't resist helping someone in their time of need, even if that means putting to one side something she would enjoy doing. though she doesn't necessarily expect a favour in return, she would appreciate some gratitude and even when this isn't given to her, she almost always falls into the trap of helping them again in the future. she enjoys spending time with her family and so was very upset when william moved away. what breaks her heart even more is when he comes home to visit and she is unable to see him because of work. while she is content with her job, she hopes to open a shop of some sorts in the town that will give her more flexibility.

many people look at sam next to her father and can't tell that they're related. her blue eyes and blonde hair bear no similarity to his brown in both and at five feet and eight inches tall, she towers over edward. when standing with her mother, it's a completely different story. sam is a spitting image of charlotte and people are constantly reminding her of this. while some children become frustrated at being compared to her parents, samantha takes it as a great compliment. she has always seen her mother as very pretty and this gives her confidence in her own appearance. she has a slim figure but not to the extent that she could be quite easily broken in two. she has no piercings or tattoos and even if she could afford such things, she wouldn't spend the money on them. she usually wears her simple maid's uniform but during her free time and rare days off, she can be found in more comfortable although still inexpensive clothing.

GENERAL HISTORYsamantha was born in the town to edward and charlotte burton. the two of them ran a bakery and made enough for the family to live comfortably for several years. even when william was born, it wasn't too much of a struggle to have everyone fed but they still weren't one of the richer families in the area, even when you ignored the daltons who lived just a short distance away. they would occasionally bring home a loaf or two that hadn't sold but having sat out all day asking to be bought, it was slightly stale. when william was fifteen and samantha was eighteen, another bakery opened in the town. in addition to the bread that the burtons made, this new bakery also made cakes and so many of their customers were attracted to the new bakery. eventually, edward and charlotte had to close down. knowing that there would be no money coming into the house, as she had helped her parents rather than work elsewhere, samantha made her way up to dalton estate and asked if they needed another servant. their initial response was that while they were sometimes spread a little thinly, they always managed and there was no need for another housemaid. sam told them that having worked in her parents' bakery, she was pretty handy in a kitchen too and so he services wouldn't have to be restricted to cleaning. after some thought, they agreed to take her on and she has worked there ever since.
RELATIVES
samantha comes from a small family and though there are fewer mouths to feed, it doesn't make them any better off than their neighbours. her parents edward, forty-four, and charlotte, forty-three, both worked in the town bakery until a second opened and the competition forced them to close down, leaving them unemployed. she also has a younger brother william, eighteen, who moved away in search of a better job. sam hasn't seen her grandparents since she was very small and so has only what her parents have told her to build up a picture of them.

vicky again, very naughtily creating another character when she's hardly touched the big pile of homework she needs to do. emma pulled me over from the original site and i also play priscilla dalton. i've been roleplaying for a little over four years now. upon cait's suggestion, i went to try ratatouille and then saw the horrible orange carrots. i hate carrots. i love carrot cake but not carrots. it's that circle in the middle where all the disgusting flavour is and probably all the beneficial vitamins too.
