“If you hurt me, I wouldn't cry. I would hurt you back.“

— Jude Duarte, The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

 

Following the assassination of her parents, 10 year old Samara was left to inherit full control of her family’s company… While many had their doubts at first, under the watchful eye of SA Dean Dawson (who’d served the family for generations) she quickly grew to exceed their expectations. Her decision to equip the Enforcers with full-time surveillance systems—for ‘accountability reasons’—even managed to convince the masses of her commitment to justice… rather than just revenge.

As Samara came of age, however, her relationship with Dean got… complicated. In her childhood she idolized him for taking on the responsibility of raising her—even commissioning a film series at one point to glorify his exploits. Yet, her ‘Hero’ never managed to track down the one villain that really mattered to her… making it clear that if she wanted something done right, she was going to have to do it herself.

Character Inspirations

“I have always been drawn to action and drama movies/tv shows and grew up loving “badass” characters like Batman, Black Widow, and Iron Man. I’ve also always had a thing for ‘enemies to lovers’ books, so the idea of a “badass” villain that can’t be fully understood without learning more about them… is a dream come true.”
