History
{ HISTORY }
Samara was born into luxury, her father a Marquis of Italy. Born into such privilege, she naturally had the means and opportunity to become educated. While at first she studied as girls did, she soon took interest in her younger brother's studies as well. She watched him practice swordsmanship when she got the chance. On the rare occasion she and her brother had time alone, she begged him to teach her what he knew, and gained a basic knowledge of combat.
Unfortunately, her younger siblings both ended up having weak constitutions, and often suffered chronic illnesses. A physician frequently tended to Samara's siblings, and it was then that she became fascinated by medicine. She followed the doctor everywhere, asking questions whenever he was not busy with her brother and sister. She studied in earnest, absorbing everything like a sponge. Samara took notes, read every book on medicine she could get her hands on, and dedicated almost every ounce of free time to furthering her knowledge.
Unfortunately for her, as she grew older her family sought to get her married to the best suitor they could acquire for their eldest child. Samara was less than thrilled about this, and despite every protest and objection, the matter was settled. Though she had always been well behaved and obedient to her family, Samara could not bear to be forced into marriage- a political one no less. With a heavy heart, she fled from home. She left a note bidding her family well and apologizing for all but refusing marriage.
She sought to catch a ship, though she found it was much harder as a woman to do so. Even making sure to disguise herself as a common girl, she found leaving so easily to be more difficult than she had imagined. Sailors were almost exclusively male, and she wasn't traveling as a noble with servants or prior arrangements. The most absurd reason, however, was the occasional captain or sailor who deemed having a woman on board as unlucky. Preposterous- surely!
Unwilling to risk staying in Italy and get found, Samara cut her hair and disguised herself as a male. Since then, she has hopped from ship to ship until arriving at Nassau, trying to figure out where to go now.
