Story so far
Samantha enhances Donut's Minion Army alongside Imani. During Elle's Graupel cast she begins glowing blue-white and experiences a separate surge she did not cause herself.
While spinning and speaking as if following multiple thoughts, she links Elle to earth and water through the Four Seasons path. She says someone is opening a path through the river and tree, then says a mother must be killed before correcting that it is not Elle's mother.
She loses the thread immediately and accuses Carl of drugging and gaslighting her. She later obeys his order to remain outside the final deckmaster confrontation.
Appearance
A glowing severed doll head rotating in blue-white elemental currents, visibly confused by the knowledge passing through her.
Role
Samantha acts as both spell enhancer and involuntary conduit for clues about the hidden power entering the scene.
Relationships
Elle — She identifies Elle's earth-water path during the surge.
Carl — She cannot coherently answer his questions.
Louis — She remains attached to and protective of him.
