Bio: Sam was discovered orphaned among the books of the Troy Public Library, wedged between a dictionary and a thesaurus. She was taken in by a kindly librarian who decided to raise Sam as her own. Every day Sam went to work with the librarian and roamed library, reading every book (except the romance novels) by the age of seven. Because she had a massive vocabulary, the kids at school picked on her. Sam’s adopted mother taught her the power of words, so she tried to reason with the kids. When that didn’t work, she decided to use words in the most effective way she knew how – using Roget’s Thesaurus and the Oxford English Dictionary she beat them to a bloody pulp. After that day, no one messed with her at school.
Eventually, Sam left Troy and wandered the world. She worked in Vegas as a showgirl/orangutan wrangler and then at Sea World in San Diego in the shark tank. After translating ancient scrolls in Mezek, she became bored with life on the road and returned to Troy. She discovered roller derby, strapped on some skates and found her true calling.
Likes: words, books, passion, puns, quips, whips, head-banging, derby sisters, tequila, getting her booty into the game and other not-suitable-for-prime-time activities.
Dislikes: floral patterns, penguin breath, ignorance, ponies, cucumbers and the smell of quiet desperation.
