NAME: carlee
CONTACT: pm the journal
BRACKETS/PROSE: i tend to default to brackets but i'll adapt with whichever your preference is!
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: scream as a series inherently involves violence, harassment, abuse (of power and relationships) and murder. sam specifically is the daughter of a serial killer and a former drug addict and her relationship with her mother is hinted to be neglectful and abusive. if you are concerned about or want to play out anything in particular, please feel free to message me to discuss!
CANON FAMILIARITY: she's generally played as being post-scream vi. i've seen all the movies (though screams 2 and 3 are less relevant to her story) and seasons one and two of the television show (which isn't relevant to her story at all).

IN CHARACTER
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: she's guarded and won't necessarily welcome casual touches unless she's familiar with the person; she'll stiffen or jerk back if someone unfamiliar tries.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: she won't hesitate to fight if she feels she or someone she cares about is threatened, probably pretty brutally depending on how much danger she thinks they're in.
RELATIONSHIPS: she'll be hesitant to pursue anything romantic for fear of getting hurt (no saying they can't casually hook up, though). scream vi introduces a love interest i liked a lot (and so did she) but she was already wary and keeping him secret due to how things went with her last boyfriend.
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: her mind's open to reading; those who try will find a lot of fear, anger, and compartmentalization. she's also struggled with mental illness in the form of seeing visions of her infamous father that she's taken medication for and is now in therapy to try to cope with that and the events of the past few years. pm me for specifics!
MAGICAL INFORMATION: none, she's totally ordinary.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: sam is a former drug addict and has been brutally attacked multiple times but she has also committed to a workout program that builds muscle and endurance in addition to learning how to fire a gun. in addition to the scars from the ghostface attacks on her stomach and arm, her ankle was broken when she was fifteen due to tripping while running from the cops and there's a scar on her calf from an incident where she and tara tried to bake cookies alone when she was twelve.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: threats against her sister or friends, mentions of her father.

OUT OF CHARACTER
BACKTAGGING: always!
THREADHOPPING: if all parties are okay with it, sure!
FOURTHWALLING: in the context of the scream series being pretty meta in the first place and the story of the original murders and the ones involving her being fairly well known, sure; in the context of telling her she's fictional, no thank you.
SHIPPING: m/f or f/f, not interested in poly. as i mentioned i like sam/danny but i'm open to crosscanon ships, male or female.
NOT INTERESTED IN: n/a for gen, for smut safest bet is just to ask me (no to vore, scat, watersports).

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
VISUAL: on the taller side of average, long, wavy dark hair typically worn down or pulled up to get it out of her face. well-fitting clothing (jeans, tanks, henleys, sweaters, army and bomber jackets) in dark or neutral colors with occasional pops of blue, green, or grey and boots or sneakers so she can move easily. fingernails are kept short and are occasionally painted with dark colors (or lighter ones if tara can talk her into it). jewelry is kept simple (she notably wears a st christopher medallion necklace) and there's usually some sort of weapon carried on her in the form of a switchblade, taser, or pepper spray. makeup is also kept pretty simple, enhancing her features. (portrayed by melissa barrera; visuals board.)
AURAL: medium/high pitched. her voice is clear and soft to start but gets louder in volume as she becomes more incensed, particularly when she's angry or upset. there's a melodic quality to it that suggests she's had vocal training for singing (she'd been in choir in middle and high school up until she got kicked out due to suspensions and delinquency). (clip!)
OLFACTORY: warm, sweet, spicy or musky; she favors vanilla based fragrances and smokes.
DEMEANOUR: cautious, tough, protective, dangerous.
