Sammy tends to wear an oversized overcoat that had previously belonged to her father, further layers dependent on the season, some heavy duty hosen, and reinforced leather boots. To keep the massive time on her feet, the insoles are lined with the supplest of sheep skin provided to all official government couriers. During cold weather Sammy wears another item of oversized apparel that belonged to her father: a tweed hat that goes down around the ears and lined with wool. On her hands are fingerless gloves to better handle the mail. On hotter days, Sammy might be convinced to wear a practical tunic.

Rides a pinto horse named Peregrine.

Character History
Samantha grew up in a small home, daughter to the town courier. Growing up she adored her father and how impeccably reliable he was, but never truly loved the prospect of carrying mail. One late winter four years ago, her father caught a fever, but still carried the mail. He died that night as he walked home in the March blizzard. Because of this, Samantha, known to most as Sammy, what her father called her, takes the place of her father and does courier duties for the town and local farmers. Indomitable, she even found the time to study Alchemy under the town's alchemist, Chester Arlington. He says she has quite the eye for it. Because of the nature of what she does, she doesn't have all that much time to play with the other children of the town.

After moving north to the City with her mother, Sammy started classes at the Academy and acquired Class 1 Courier certification like her father. She is currently a probationary officer and will remain as such until completion of her scout training.

Character Personality
Indomitable and optimistic, Sammy is also slightly cowardly and sometimes shrewdly pragmatic. She has patience for hardly anything but alchemy and her mother, who sorts incoming and outgoing mail. while generally cowardly and will try to avoid conflict, Sammy will stand up for herself nobly if escape isn't an option, and when she can gather the courage, will stand up for someone else, but to draw blood makes her squeamish.

Family
Aside from her dead father, Alabaster Carrion, there's her mother, Ariel who's the youngest daughter of a merchant in the big city. She keeps in touch with her father, but as busy as Petruchio Ceres is, he can't return the favor as often as he likes. A no-nonsense lady, Ariel is soft and somewhat frail, but energetic and encouraging. She supports Sammy's entry into Alchemy, but wonders what will happen to the mail if she leaves for it. She's also the most important person in Sammy's life as basically the only one Sammy confides in.
