personality evaluated. samantha is a very self-confident and self-aware person. she is calculating, well spoken and mannered. almost sacrificial in fund-raising and other charity endeavors. she is very charismatic and most people instantly draw a liking to the pretty girl. that is what everyone would tell you about her. agents, parents and those naive non involved people that prefer to believe what they want to.

but there is more below the surface. or better ... behind the facade! there is, well hidden from judging eyes, a deceiving, scheming woman who does everything ... EVERYTHING to get what she wants. for as long as it does not undermine her image. sam is the single most important person in her live for now.

to many this may come as a shock, but even that attitude - widely believed as the true samantha swanson - is just a perfectly elaborate fake! a defense mechanism against the cruelties of the world, the show biz in particular! because deep down sam is just human and thrives after everything a human being needs. proximity, warmth, security ... love. but not only her parents, her entire model career suggested only one thing to the then impressionable girl: only the toughest will prevail!


/ i've got issues with my sleep

father. nathaniel gordon swanson , fifty-eight , senator of new jersey.
mother. denise elenore swanson , forty-six , socialite.
siblings. marc nathaniel swanson , thirty-two , surgeon.
pets. a colly named humphrey.
other family. none worth mentioning.
history evaluated. the swanson family has it's roots in the united kingdom but sam's' ancestors came over back on the mayflower in 1620 and have been a high ranking part in the history of the united states ever since. her mother, being a "daughter of the american revolution" and last barer of the swanson name gave it to her husband at her marriage. a then widely unknown lawyer from boston who quickly rose into the elite circles of american society. after giving birth to a healthy baby daughter the small family moved to new york city where sir swanson was to start his political career as the republican senatorial candidate for new jersey.

after moving to new york city sam' Parents where able to give their daughter a protected and sheltered environment to grow up in. private schools, elite social clubs and expensive high-end tutoring. far away from the troubles and temptations of the big city. so they thought ...
however it proved that the not so innocent upper east-side circles had their ways with samantha. or maybe it was just the household that pretended to be so perfect and yet was so cruel and manipulative as sam was going to be by the time she graduated from high school.

they say a child's character comprises of 10 % genes and 90% early education. 90% of those early impressions you cannot shield yourself against ... the ones that can either prepare or scar you for your entire future live. in samantha' case she was not that fortunate. her childhood was filled with dignity and decorum rather then love and laughter. yet the girl still managed to keep a pure heart but only learned to hide it just as well.
from these years of growing up park avenue samantha drew most of her later behavioral patterns. the scheming, the acting ... the fear of becoming the same as her parents.

with her mother being an incredibly influential socialite in manhattan samantha grew up with a special connection to fashion from early years on. attendance at the new york fashion week was mandatory and she usually saw all the shows as a teenager. she even got taken out of classes for the time being ... so it was only natural that by the time sam was 16 she got signed by wilhelmina models and from that day on was even more involved with the world of glitz and glamor. she did only a few runway jobs in milan and paris before returning to new york on request by her parents to concentrate on school and direct her model career more toward high-profile ad campaigns and magazine editorials.

after graduating from the convent of sacred heart in manhattan samantha focused entirely on her model career living a pretty reckless life for a few years. parties, drugs, casual sex ... but it turned out to be not as fulfilling as anticipated. not to mention keeping that lifestyle secret from her parents while living with them in their park avenue penthouse was not easy. so at her twenty-first birthday, upon becoming emancipated, samantha made the decision to move to los angeles and pursue a career in acting after her supporting role on the broadway musical 'south pacific' got praised by the new york times as 'refreshingly genuine'.

how did you find us. sid showed me.
roleplay sample.

The day had started so perfectly ... like a picture book day but that all was fading into the back right now as CeeCee sat down onto the cold pavement next to Denver, her back resting against the opposite car so she could keep an eye on his face while Denny's gaze shifted away into the distance. He had tried to cover his tears away pulling himself together before the Delta. She could fairly well understand that is was possibly not easy to be found in this state by the one person he sincerely called: his worst enemy. It was not like she was innocent in all this to be honest. They both weren't. Whenever there had been an opportunity of jumping at each other's throats they just did it. Thinking of it CeeCee had even come to the conclusion that maybe they didn't get a long at all because they were very much alike?! But admitting that would be like saying they were a lot like the person they hated the most! That they had all those little quirks and annoying bugs that made them shit mad at each other for themselves! It was a frightening prospect and not a face you liked to look into every dawning day!

Listening to Denver talking about how he probably deserved to win the Oscar for suckiest life this year mad CeeCee smirk lightly. It was not really a smirk because she found it funny but rather because it seemed the polite thing to do. It was a weird situation and Denny cracking a small joke only showed th Delta that they were indeed quite alike ... trying to overcast seething feelings underneath with a quip humor and a witty punchline. Sure it was hard for him to confide in her ... to even just stay here and not cuss and walk away. For all he knew CeeCee could've been waiting for the right deeply emotional moment to point a finger at him quipping a loud and high pitched 'HAHA' from the top of her lungs before skipping away as if this incident had made her day. She wasn't going to do it but Denny didn't know that.

"Wow ..." CeeCee remarked on his Oscar comment slightly nodding in thoughts. "... and Lindsay had been hoping so much on that one!" Point proven then ... as said before the Theta and the Delta both loved to discharge emotional situations with faint humor. She didn't want to make fun of Denver ... by far not. She wanted for him to stop looking like someone had died. In her mind the whole 'wife left husband' story was still the most plausible one. After all the gossip hoe had specifically asked for Analise to reconsider her marital status. It was sad though ... CeeCee could understand why or how Denny had to surround himself with beautiful women. She herself wrote the book on loving attention of the opposite sex ... still she had been hypocritical enough to blame Denver for it over and over. It was not fair and certainly not the right thing to do.
Placing the big purse on the floor between herself and the Theta realized that she was till holding that paper-cup of hot chocolate in her hands .... Denver was still shivering so the only logical thing under normal circumstances would've been to douse him with it. But not now ... she felt he urge to hand it to him ... so she stretched out her arm.

"Here ... that will warm you up ..." CeeCee said carefully. "... and don't worry! I haven't taken a sip yet!" Adding that she felt the need for ... Denver probably didn't want to put his lips on anything she had touched before as well ... that was just awkward. Yet she hoped he'd take her up on the offer and actually let her do something good for him. "You wanna tell me what happened?!"
