Instead the battleship is a small, delicate little thing with long golden blonde hair, big blue eyes and something of a complex about her small chest. She typically dresses either formally, femininely, or both, preferring skirts and dresses whenever possible.<br/><strong>Backstory: </strong>The only child of the Hood family (yes,<em>those</em>Hoods), Samantha was always expected to follow a similar path to those who had borne the name in the past.<br/>Of course, those who had this expectation also thought that she would follow in the footsteps of the<em>human</em>Hoods, rather than the battleship, but they eventually came around after she ruined a succession of bathtubs with unexpected, involuntary transformations. The fact that Danno-Ura had even the vaguest idea of how to handle someone like her made that school the obvious choice for her and it was hardly as if a military career had not been expected of her anyway. Samantha was already used to an orderly life, and fell into the rules, regulations and regimentation with the same ease that she took to the water with, although her attempts to play disciplinarian to the rowdy tank girls and unladylike plane-girls never seemed to amount to much, neither of them paying much attention to the tiny battleship.<br/><strong>Primary Ability: </strong>Swimming. The embodiment of the HMS Hood (Somehow, despite that ship having been sunk years ago (note: Do not mention this, it makes her irritable), Samantha is capable of transforming back and forth and fighting with other ship-girls. Any battle damage seems to be reflected on her uniform after combat, mostly by making parts of it disappear. She's not entirely sure why that happens.<br/><strong>Two Secondary Abilities: </strong>Strategy games. While she prefers (and is best at) chess, Samantha is both highly skilled and disturbingly competitive when it comes to strategy games and takes such things exceedingly seriously.<br/>Shooting. While she has great aim, Samantha lets herself down somewhat by her fondness for firing absolutely everything she can all at once.<br/><strong>Three Things Your Character Likes: </strong>Tea, poetry, cuddling<br/><strong>Three Things Your Character Dislikes: </strong>Loud people, getting dirty, rudeness<br/><strong>Treasured Possession: </strong>Her flower. Samantha isn't quite sure what the pink bloom is (or, for that matter, how it has lasted so long), but she is pretty much never seen without it in her hair, even while sleeping, according to rumour.<br/><strong>Player Ons and Offs: </strong>Can be found here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/onsoffs.php?u=56534)<br/><strong>Character Ons and Offs: </strong>Entirely inexperienced, Samantha does have a strong preference for female, or at least feminine, partners and while her known interests mostly consist  of gentle sex, she has a currently unknown interest in being physically dominated. She also rather likes older women, taller women and muscular women, to say nothing of combinations of those attributes.<br/>
