Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Grew up... with the Chozo. Samus’s parents were killed on the Earth colony K-2L by Ridley, the leader of a group of evil space pirates. Samus was then adopted by the Chozo, an ancient and wise race of birdlike aliens.
Living... in space. Samus’s only home is her ship as she flies around the galaxy searching for adventure.
Visiting... strange alien worlds. From Tallon IV, an old world haunted by the ghosts of her dead caregivers, to Phaaze, a planet made entirely of an evil sentient element, Samus has ventured into some of the strangest and most dangerous places in the universe.
Profession... bounty hunter. The Chozo infused Samus with their DNA and gave her a powerful suit of armor to make her a strong galactic protector. She first used her abilities as a member of the Galactic Federation. However, after a falling out, she became an independent bounty hunter.
Interests… remembering her past. During her down time, Samus will become lost in thought remembering pivotal moments from her past. This includes her first traumatic encounter with Ridley, her relationship with the baby Metroid alien she saved, and her complicated history with the Galactic Federation.
Relationship Status... single. Samus spends most of her time isolated on alien worlds. However, she does have a complex, tragic past with Adam Malkovich. As her commander during her days in the Federation, he was both her father figure and vague romantic interest.
Challenge... protecting the galaxy. With her feared and legendary strength, Samus has made a lot of enemies throughout the cosmos – ranging from space pirates to her evil doppelgänger Dark Samus. However, her biggest challenge is stopping the threat of Metroids, evil parasitic aliens accidently created by the Chozo.
Personality... guarded. Samus can come off as cold – she rarely talks and is emotionally distant. However, beneath all of that is an incredibly strong woman with a very sad past who is dealing with it by focusing on the present. As she says, “My past is not a memory, it’s a force at my back. It pushes and steers. What’s past is prologue.”
Get to Know her in...

A part of the Metroid series, it features gameplay in both first- and third-person perspectives, and is the first installment of the franchise to feature melee attacks which could only be executed when an enemy's health was reduced to a certain degree. The game gave significant focus on plot and characterization, with extensive usage of cinematics and voice acting. The regular gameplay features a third person perspective, where players hold the Wii Remote horizontally. Samus can jump, fire the arm cannon, and turn into a morph ball, which can roll into narrow passages and drop energy bombs. While gameplay is similar to early Metroid titles, the game's environments are three-dimensional and movement is not limited to a two-dimensional plane. Other M is the first in the series to feature a melee combat system. With well-timed button presses, players can use special techniques such as the Sense Move, which allows them to dodge enemy attacks, and the Overblast, where Samus jumps on the enemy and fires a charged shot at point-blank range. When the Wii Remote is pointed towards the screen, the angle switches to a first-person view, where players can lock onto targets and fire missiles; however, players cannot move in this perspective. There are several instances where players will have to constantly switch between play modes; for example, fighting off a horde of flying enemies in third person, while switching to first person to destroy their spawn points. Additionally, the first-person mode is also used in exploration, such as locating hidden items.
