If you can't keep up don't step up. I don't have time for fools.
Samira and her parents were street entertainers in Amakra, on the eastern side of the Great Sai. They wowed spectators, delighting Samira but worrying her parents. They wanted a more secure existence for their daughter, despite her enjoyment. Wishes change like desert rain.
Armed intruders invaded Amakra the night before Samira's fourteenth birthday. Samira watched as the intruders abducted innocent peasants by invoking an old magus. She witnessed several deaths.
Samira cried not. No scream. Instead, she raged at herself for hiding, not the perpetrators. Even during her most risky stunts, she never felt paralysed by dread. Samira loathed herself and determined never to feel so terrified and powerless again.
Samira, her parents, and a few others fled to Bel'zhun, a Noxian port city, injured. Noxus protected Amakrans. Noxus let Samira in.
Samira was eager to regain her bravery. She walked alone since her parents were exhausted and injured. She no longer worked—she performed fearlessly. Even when no one saw, she excelled. Her family needed more.
Samira found a Noxian warband recruitment ad then. She joined for excitement and money.
Her athleticism impressed others. Samira excelled at combat but lacked discipline. Her recklessness frustrated her superior officers, except Captain Indari. Indari, a former saboteur, hired Samira for her own warband, a dangerous outfit. Samira consented eagerly for its perils.
She embraced Noxian culture, finding her power and style in life-and-death shootouts and spectacular sword battles. Samira told her family about her tattoos, which represented her greatest achievements, in her leisure time. She loved risk and challenged herself to transform danger into delight.
Indari's troop was deployed to Rokrund Plains by the government to quell a separatist revolt. The fortress burst as the warband neared the rebel leader. Samira lost her right eye when the building fell. She quickly recovered Indari, who was paralysed. After the survivors returned, Indari dissolved the squad. Samira returned to Bel'zhun after being discharged, but she could no longer live there.
Samira found Indari in Noxia's capital. She planned to exploit Indari's military and noble ties to satisfy her thirst for challenges. She pitched a new relationship where Indari would locate Samira high-stakes mercenary employment behind the scenes. Indari reluctantly consented, leaving her former protégé without field support. Samira was thrilled. She thrived on warband-sized assignments.
Her daring status spread. Samira survived a Bilgewater raid and beat a chem-baron in hand-to-hand combat. With Indari's help, the Noxian high command recognised her as the best candidate for their most dangerous missions.
Samira keeps going now. She climbs mountains one day and arm-wrestles criminals in packed bars the next. Samira always finds her next great excitement.
