Description
This woman is devastatingly beautiful, though, it would be hard to notice at first with the demure way she carries herself. Her wavy and soft honey brown hair falls in stunning waves to her waist, with a hint of bangs across her forehead. The caramel hue of her skin serves as an accent to the captivating blue-green of her eyes and the aristocratic look of her facial features. When eyes move to the rest of her five foot body the fact she has large breasts, which are fitting to her well toned and slender frame, is the first thing of note. The last touch is the tattoo with intricate patterning that twists from the back of her shoulder the down her front and side, curling around her left bosom as it goes towards the center of her stomach. Nestled among the winding markings are little butterflies and rose blossoms.

Personality
Sameera Coldrain is a hard person to get to know and get close too, especially with how mistrusting she is. She gets very put out when she must socialize with people, though, it has gotten better with the more people she is around. She dislikes socializing so much that instead of a greting she stares at them, though, not directly. She never stares at anyone directly. She does not like to do a lot of talking and is typically quite tactless and blunt. Though, it is hard to tell everything she feels is written in her eyes, on her face, and in her body language. It might be muted but everything she thinks and feels can easily be spotted. She also does not hide the fact she doesn't like people, animals, or being touched. When Sameera talks of something she enjoys she gets very animated and she warms up considerably, showing that once one gets passed her icy, demure, and distant exterior she is a rather intelligent and can be friendly of sorts. Until attention is called to that fact then she shuts down once more. Things to note about Sameera is if someone touches her she goes into panic mode and flips her lid at someone invading her space and she has an extremely violent temper. She finds people and life difficult and weird.
Background
If there is anything that Sameera hates it is gambling. It is the bane of her life because her mother, Strega, was a gambling addict. Strega took her gambling to extremes. Not a day went by, while Strega was alive, that Sameera did not hear of the ill fortune that Count Dravor Darkwater brought up Strega. While Sameera despises the name she was named for, she despised her mother just as much as she loved her, no, let there be a correction, she hated her mother more than she loved her.
To explain why Sameera felt this way the story of her mother's, a merchant from Eurus, slightly younger life must be told, in brevity. Strega was always a gambler, a heavy one, and lost more than she won. It was a curse upon her life. Strega had a streak of luck one night, against Dravor, or so she though. Sure, it started out as luck but when Dravor saw how easily this pretty gambler was taken with winning he decided to take amusement in making her think she could defeat him. While in the process of throwing hands in the game they were playing he urged her to bid higher and whispered the sweetest of words into her ears, making her believe that even if she were to lose big he had a way to assure she did not end up a thrall. She believed him and the price she paid was her freedom for despite his honeyed words sleeping with him did not grant her freedom. Instead it gave her a daughter and she became indentured. Her gambling addiction did not help her get out of being a thrall, in fact it likely made things worse. Eventually the work she had to do between raising her child, gambling what little money she could get her hands on, and just the chore of living with little to no freedom eventually drove her insane then to her death.
Sameera, you see, had to hear the tale of how her father betrayed her mother and manipulated her very often, almost daily. Once, when she was quite young Sameera saw her father, he had cruelly come to mock her mother and seduce her with his words once more and, like previously, Strega fell victim to it and Sameera was lucky she did not end up with another sibling as a result.
To pay off the debt that Strega had fostered upon her with her death Sameera took up smithing jewels. It didn't net her much to live on, for most of it went to paying off her debt and getting supplies, but she found she could relax doing it. Escape the reality she lived in for a little while.
Imagine the shock that she felt when her brother found her contract and set he free. His actions were met with mistrust, doubt even. Who's she to know if he was different than his father? Besides, he must be similar, since he simply freed her and did not acknowledge her as his sibling. He could say all the pretty things he wanted but she had decided to hold her joy at being freed and serve as a servant of his family until she has figured out the legitimacy of his actions and silken words. His summoning her to Arx was simply all part of her being a family servant, surely.
