History: Sam was bron in Erie, Pennsylvania on a snowy evening in November. Her parents had only been married barely a year before Lauren shared the news with Richard that she was pregnant. He was ecstatic about being a father and was always around and willing to help his wife until the time came to deliver their daughter. Even after he was there, through all the late nights, sometimes full nights to help with the baby and his wife, while he kept his job, working fromhis laptop at home.

Three years later he was surprised again when Lauren told him they are going to have another child, but he was excited all the same. Nine months later welcoming, to Richard's delight, a son they named Gabe. Both of his children grew up in a nice house, with a good education and over all well-rounded children. It wasn't until Sam began highschool that her father became ill. It was after her birthday that he came down with a cold that wasn't going away, actually it was worsening and each time he went to the doctor, they said they didn't know what it was. It seemed like a regular cold, but it obviously wasn't. Lauren was having a tough time of it, taking care of her husband and the rest of the family at the same time, but Sam and Gabe were old enough to take care of themselves when their mother couldn't.

Early in the new year, Sam's father died. It hit the whole family pretty hard. They all went into their own mourning process, however committing to their regular activities amidst the preperations for the funeral. At the gathering after the funeral a couple weeks later, Sam and her mother had a pretty big falling out. It was over something stupid like what to serve, but it was an excuse to release everything else. They fought rather loudly in front of everyone, until Sam's grandmother stopped them. After that day, nothing was the same between them. Sam felt for her younger brother, who seemed to be stuck in the middle, but he seemed to be coping better then the rest of his family.

The remaining high school years were torture for Sam, who just wanted to get out of Erie. And that was the first thing she did as soon as graduation was over. She packed as much as she could get into her car and just drove. Her mother tried to stop her, saying she was being rash. but Sam just ignored her and left. Without even saying good-bye, except to Gabe, who wished her luck wherever she ended up. Which happened to be Tropico.
