The youngest of three children, who were all girls, Samantha was quickly instructed on what would be expected of her. Her family was wealthy and part of the upper class. As such, she would need to present herself in this way. She had to walk, talk, and act in a certain way and her parents made sure that she was raised to do just that. Her parents never spoiled her or her sisters. They didn’t shower them with excessive amounts of love and attention, feeling that this would just make their children lazy. Instead, they taught them that if there was something out there that they wanted, a new outfit or a new toy, to find a way to get it themselves. Samantha was sent to the best private school on the East coast where she was able to excel at her studies, even if she didn’t make many friends. As time progressed, her parents and her instructors realized just how smart she truly was. Her intellect was incredibly high. Her father was very proud, as she would be able to work in the family’s holdings and further the Walker name. It was around this time, when she was thirteen that her mutant powers came to light. Neither of her two older sisters had displayed any mutant powers whatsoever, so it came as a shock to the rest of the family. At first, Samantha felt like a bit of an outcast, until she realized what her powers exactly were. She had the ability to read people’s minds and to move objects with her own mind. She was a telepath and telekinetic. It didn’t take her father long to realize that his daughter, already gifted, had been given even more gifts that would make her exceptional when it came to business. He hired some of the best tutors available when it came to mutant powers so that Samantha would be incredibly well trained in using her powers. Samantha continued her studies, and slowly grew in to her own. She quickly became her father’s favorite, something that her other sisters didn’t like. They did their best to try to bring her down, excluding her from their activities, which somewhat hurt Samantha because they were older than she was. She wanted to be accepted by the people that her older sisters hung out with, because she believed them to be her peers, not the people in her age group. However, her father allowed her to do things that she otherwise would not have been able to do. Also, it wasn’t like people could stop her, because she was a telepath and could work around the fact that they were trying to stop her from doing what she wanted. Time progressed and Samantha eventually graduated from high school. She was already at the top of her class and had been doing college level work since the end of her junior year. Now, she applied to Oxford and decided that despite what her father expected of her, to study business, she was going to study physics. She wanted to know more about science and while she was going to major in physics, Samantha did make sure to minor in business and take as many businesses classes as she could on the side. One of her older sisters, Blair Walker realized that alienating Samantha had been a mistake. She tried her best to repair the bonds that the two had, soemthing that Samantha welcomed and worked on as well. Eventually, the two of them became good friends, the way that they should have been and would have been, before Samantha received her powers. Samantha watched with pride as her sister rose within the ranks fo the family's company. She was a bit of a party animal, but she knew that she had to keep her grades up. It came as no surprise that when she graduated, she graduated magna cum laude from the prestigious university. She quickly went ahead and worked on her master’s and then her doctorate degree, getting very high grades at those as well. At this point in time, her sister had taken over leadership of the family's company from their father, and Samantha realized that she didn't really want to be part of the family company. Upon her graduation and her accomplishment of getting her doctorate, Samantha heard that her sister had merged the family's business with Frost International.
