In-dept:
Appearance:
Other Abilities:
She has a beautiful singing voice, though she refuses to use it. She is also well versed in many forms of dance, including swing, ballroom, ballet, and belly dancing. And because her family are immigrants from Egypt she is bi-lingual, speaking both English and Arabic.
Weakness:
Sam is no where even close to being able to control her powers, so as of right now they are based very heavily on her emotions. She hates being in loud places. And thanks to years of being subjected to the sound dome her hearing isn't exactly up to par. She's not deaf, just cannot hear various frequencies.

Nena Bashandi - Mother
Oshe Bashandi - Father
Bentehhor Bashandi - Older Brother
Affiliation: neutral for now
History:
Background:
Both of Samira's parents were born and raised in Dairut, Egypt. Shortly after the birth of their two children the parents decided to move to America. Having earned a PHD in her home country Nena took a job at a hospital as a nurse while Oshe began a career as a cab driver. The children do not remember much about Egypt, especially Samira, who left the country before reaching a year old.
Because her family spoke Arabic in the home both Samira and her older brother were required to attend ESL classes through out their elementary school years. To Samira this was more a formality and an annoyance considering she could speak both languages quite well.
In middle school Samira finally got a chance to leave the ESL classes for 'real classes' as she put it. This was when Samira started to become rather popular among her classmates, adopting the nickname Sam...Most found it easier to pronounce. This was also when Sam began entertaining the thought of becoming a singer after her schooling career was done. for the next three years she landed the leading role in the schools musical productions along with plenty of solos for the school choir. In her freshman year of highschool, however, those dreams were soon lost.
It started at the first football game of the school year. Samira was sitting in the stands along with all her friends, laughing and having a nice time chatting up some of the guys...Until the kicker began paying more attention to one of the cheerleaders then where he was kicking. The football, because of this began flying strait for Sam's face. She of course held her hands up in an attempt to block it, but instead of just knocking the ball away this caused a barley visible field of energy to surround her, and her friends. It kept the ball from breaking their noses, but definitely had her friends looking at Sam in a different light.
It took some time for Sam to figure out that the lack of sound in the forcefield that night was not because it was soundproof, but actually another aspect to her powers. One year passed with Sam thinking this...Until auditions for the annual musical came around. In the middle of her audition she could feel herself growing rather nervous...many of the upperclassmen she was up against were much better then her. This is probably why her forcefield formed around her. As luck would have it (good or bad) the piano happened to be just within range of the field, and this time instead of things becoming silent, the sound of the piano and her voice began to echo. It grew louder and louder until Sam couldn't stand the sounds around her any longer. She ran out of the building and swore never to perform again.
Sam now attends NYU, taking general classes until she decides what she wants to do with her life.

hmm when I have some time, maybe on one of my days off, I think I'm going to work on some sample rps for these characters of mine.
