personality & history: Sammy doesn't remember much of her life before the divorce, in fact she doesn't remember anything before she was about six. Her whole life it's always been Sammy, Kyle and Jasmine in New York (where their family moved shortly after the divorce) and Josie, Shawn, and Thomas in California. Sammy has always been closer to her mother than her father, the major difference between Sammy and Kyle growing up actually, and she refused to call her father 'dad, father' and anything of that sort, it takes all her willpower to call him that to his face. In her eyes, she was never her father, she doesn't have one. He wasn't there to raise her and he didn't deal with everything that Jasmine went through.

Muggle and the small wizarding school was the same for both of them. Sammy and Kyle together in their own world, she wouldn't do her work and Kyle would nag her to do her work and stay organized. Polar opposites really are these twins, Kyle's looks take after their father and Sammy takes after their mother. First glance wouldn't show that they were twins but seeing how they act together it is obvious. Up until moving to England, Sammy remembers summers in California, by the beach, and winters in New York with her siblings. Up until she was about ten, however, she remembers Shawn being there, with his being five years older it seems as if his presence may have been with others at the time.

When they did move to England and they made that pact, it was more for Kyle than Sammy. They were 14 when they transferred and began their fourth year at Hogwarts. As soon as the small family of three moved to England, Jasmine seemed to pick up on the alcohol, more and that lead to Sammy and Kyle to stay at school. A year after they moved Sammy had made some muggle friends which lead to the twins going to a party and returning past curfew, Sammy was half drunk and Kyle was sober, which lead to this whole fight between the twins and mommy Henley, and that all lead to them moving out... Just before their fifteenth birthday.

They had some help, Thomas was rich and constantly sent them money, that Kyle saved but Sammy spent, and they found a wizarding place to live in until they graduated. About a year later they heard about Thomas' death and went back to help Josie move in with their mother, against Sammy and Kyle's wishes. By the time that Josie graduated they all moved back to California, to get away from England and the death of their mother, and Sammy quickly published her first book, which was an immediate success.

Currently the three siblings moved back to Hogsmeade, and being famous isn't something that's new to the American siblings, but they still try to semi-avoid it. Sammy is currently working on the sequel to her book and finishing it up, while attempting to keep the movie for her first book (about three years after it published in America) keeps semi on track.

anything else: She shares an owl with Kyle, whom is the most important person in her life, and she decided that she was going to go by the same looks but under an alias, 'Heidi Hensley' for her writing.
