"Forget regret, or life is yours to miss."
the basics
Name || Samantha Esther Pilkington
Nicknames || Sam or Sammy
Age || Twenty Three
Occupation// Actress (currently playing Marissa on USBC's sitcom "Our Chaotic Life")
Gender || Female
Sexuality || Heterosexual
the appearance
Face Claim || Lea Michele
Identifying Features || A couple of burns on each wrist; an unfortunate by-product of baking as a hobby. She has pierced ears. NO tattoos.
Overall || Standing at only 5'2, Sammy is definitely not the tallest girl out there, something the writers on her show have recognised and exploited for comic value on many occasions. She has big brown eyes and long, dark brown hair that hangs at around chest length. She has limited fashion sense. If left to her own devices she would wear only pyjamas for the rest of her life. Though, that's not to say she doesn't enjoy dressing up, she has a closet full of fancy dresses. She just has no middle ground.
the personality
Likes ||
- Musical Theatre- Sam's love for performing started in musicals. She grew up as the resident theatre kid and majored in it at college. She's been going to see Broadway shows at least once a month since her mother deemed her old enough to travel into the city alone. What she can't tell you about her favourite shows isn't worth knowing. It's fair to say she's a little obsessed with musicals. She always thought that her career would take her to the Broadway stage. The fact that she's making it on television surprises no-one more than her.
- Baking- Sammy's mother is a gifted baker, owning her own bakery out in Queen's. If Sam wasn't at school or rehearsing, she was helping out her mom, and definitely picked up some skill along the way. Though baking did not turn out to be her calling in life, Sam still lloves to create sweet things whenever she has a free moment. This has made her very popular on set.
- Junk Food- Sammy is not one of those actresses that survives only on air and quinoa. Quite the opposite in fact. She eats far too much of the wrong kind of food. She really should be the size of house, its a mystery to Sam how she isn't obese yet.
- New York City- Born and raised here, Sammy is proud to call the city home. She couldn't imagine living anywhere else.
- Disney- Her other obsession. Sam has been watching Disney movies almost from the day she was born. Her family would go on frequent trips to Disney World and so it has become her happy place.
- Cats- Sammy's favourite animal. Something about their fluffiness and grumpy facade just gets her right in the heart. her current furchild is an old grumpy lump named Wizard who she wouldn't trade for the world.
Dislikes ||
- Arrogance- Sam cannot bear people who think that they are better than anyone else, or view themselves as God's gift to the human race. She'll get along with almost anyone, but of a person shows a display of arrogance, she's going to avoid them like the plague.It's why she sometimes gets on better with the crew than some of the actors.
- Bullying- Sam rarely gets angry, but when she sees any kind of bullying she can't help but step in and say something. She's a real stickler for fairness and can't abide people who use their strength or status to make others feel small and powerless.
- Early mornings- Sammy is 500% not a morning person. At all. She doesn't know why 6am is even a thing. The days that require her to be on set early are her least favouite. On her days off, if it happens before 10am Sammy probably won't know about it.
- Death- Sam hates any talk of or reference to death. if it comes up in conversation she will simply get up and walk away. When she was 16, she lost her brother to Osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer, and she's never completely gotten over it. Thankfully, she 's yet to do any kind of interview that gets that personal, but she's dreading the day it comes up. She simply doesn't like to think about it.
- Being too hot- Sam finds the heat way more uncomfortable than the cold; it' being hot is just unrelenting in a way that cold can never manage. She always sleeps with the window wide open, even in the depths of a new York winter.
Strengths ||
- Loyal- Her family and friends are everything to her. Mess with them and you get the angry mother hen side of Sammy that normally stays hidden. She will go to the ends of the earth for anybody that she cares about, often at a cost to herself. She'll be there for them at any hour of the day or night if they need her, whether its for practical help or they just need a shoulder to cry on.
- Hard-working- Whilst Sammy does know how to have downtime, when the time comes she is ready to work and gives whatever project she is focusing on 100% of her attention and energy. Its a mindset that was drummed into her from years of musical theatre training that has served her well in many other aspects of life.
- Talent- Aside from being a gifted actor -a talent she showcases regularly these days and is now what she is known for- Sammy also has an incredibly strong singing voice through years of training in musical theatre. She hopes to be able to showcase this more in the future, and that being on TV will give more opportunities to do that.
Weaknesses ||
- Naive- Despite being able to tell other people when when they are being taken advantage of, Sammy is not very good at recognising this kind of thing in her own life. She sets out with the belief that everyone in life has the same good intentions that she does, and so refuses to see the signs right in front of her that point to the contrary.
- Passive- Sam is not very good at being angry or confrontational, she has a few trigger points, but it takes an awful lot to make her truly angry. She's pretty useless in an argument, if someone got aggressive with her she would probably just break down and cry.
- Sweet Tooth- Sam is a perfect candidate for type 2 diabetes in the future. With a baker for a mother, it was inevitable that she was going to catch a sweet tooth at a young age, and it hasn't got any better in adulthood. She could literally eat cake and ice-cream for days.
Dreams ||
- Return to theatre- Whilst Sam is absolutely loving the adventure she is on right now with the sitcom and certainly doesn't want it to end, she feels like her theatrical career never really got off the ground. She hopes that Tv will only enhance her theatrical opportunities, and will maybe help to one day achieve her childhood dream of playing a lead in a Broadway musical.
- Have a family- It may be cheesy, but Sam has been desperate to be a mother for as long as she can remember. Eventually she wants to settle down with someone special and have a s many children as possible.
Fears || Death- See reasons listed above.
