Description

Sam Manson a.k.a The Ghost Girl / Sam Mena
(Reverse Trio AU)
After an accident with a ghost portal in her parent’s research lab, Sam Manson becomes half-ghost. Taking up the name Sam Mena after a time (Mena being Greek for “Spirit”), she protects the town of Amity Park from ghosts who have slipped out of the ghost zone to cause havoc through the demands of their obsession.
Unlike her parents however, who have an intense disdain for ghosts bordering on hatred, (to the point that they are more than happy to hand over any caught ghosts to the government for capture and intense experimentation) Sam takes a more sympathetic and activist type role for ghosts. Even before her accident, she fought against her parents for being so close-minded over what ghosts may think and feel and refusing to see them as spirits of the deceased forever searching for closure through their obsessions instead of mindless, destructive monsters. This does not mean she is no less willing to use violence if necessary, but she is much more willing to try to understand the ghosts she is fighting so that she can figure out how to deal with them in the long-term instead of handling them with a short-term fight and capture.
Her parents are more ectobiological researchers than hunters (they are far more likely to call someone else to do the capturing). However, on the off chance they do capture a ghost, Sam is always quick to free to them, and she is always searching for ways to better accommodate the ghosts when she has to capture them. (How would you like to be stuffed into a tiny metal canister for four hours?)
Her ghost core is not ice-based as Danny’s is but instead life/light-based.(Headcanon: Cores are determined by the emotion felt at the time of death. Anger = Fire, Horror = Darkness, etc. If the emotion isn’t strong enough, then the ghost will be a low-level telekinetic.)
In Sam’s case, she felt something much akin to curiosity when examining the portal, which spawned an unusual life/light core, which gives her powers resembling that of plants and, well, light. Thus, her ghost sense comes through as a strong scent reminiscent of grass clippings and dry brush, which always ends up making her sneeze.
Her core is also why her hair looks viney instead of firey or some such thing like that.
(Fun note: Sam did a bunch of research when trying to pick her ghost name, because if she was going to be called something, it was going to sound good. She chose Mena because it sounded cool and the meaning was awesome. Tucker begged to differ since no one would get it, but Sam immediately decided that she didn’t care.)
