Status
Determinant Samantha Giddings, known to her friends as Sam, is one of the eight main protagonists and a playable character in Until Dawn. She was voiced and motion captured by Hayden Panettiere.

Sam has fair skin and blonde hair tied in a bun at the back of her head, with a few locks framing her face. She has hazel eyes and often wears dark lipstick. During the trip, her nails are painted light blue, with small white snowflakes on them.

During the Prologue, she wears a red and white patterned wool sweater with dark blue jeans and irregularly-shaped golden earrings.

From Chapter 1 to Chapter 2, she wears a purple long-sleeved shirt, a black leather jacket, a red scarf, a red plaid skirt, black tights, and grey boots with white trim. She also wears a fur hat.

Later on, she is clad in only a white towel, as the Psycho had taken her clothes while she was bathing. When found by Mike, she retrieves her backpack and changes into a white shirt, a red hooded jacket, grey yoga pants, and sneakers. She wears this outfit for the remainder of the game.

Personality
Sam is described in-game as diligent, considerate, and adventurous. She seems to be the most level-headed and friendly member of the group and is rarely the cause of drama, even though she can be spunky and have somewhat of a strong personality.

Sam is a warm individual who cares deeply about her friends and their feelings, especially Hannah after the prank they pulled on her. She loves and genuinely cares about animals and nature, and her dream job is to be a conservationist. According to Hayden Panettiere, she is a vegan. In addition, she was described as not being afraid to be herself and not be bothered by being made fun of.

She is a pacifist with a disdain for violence and conflict, but will not shy away from fighting in order to save herself and her friends. Highly resourceful and resilient, Sam demonstrates remarkable calmness and decisiveness when under pressure. She is brave and strong-willed and will not let fear take control of her and change her in any way.

Biography
Nature-loving Sam is a warm and caring individual. The others might find her a little quirky, but she's comfortable in her own skin. She is strong willed and doesn't scare easily. The weekend away is a chance for Sam to catch up with friends, enjoy the mountain air, and put the past behind her.
