Biography[]
Early life[]
Carter is the daughter of Debra Carter and Jacob Carter, a Starfleet officer. She was born on December 29th, 2233. She has a brother named Mark Carter, who is married and has children, David and Lisa. As a child, Sam often sat on the willow tree in her backyard. On sunny days, the wind blowing through the leaves sounded exactly like rain when she closed her eyes. Her mother Debra Carter sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to her when she was a child. She told Aden Corso that she was named Samantha as her father had wanted a boy. Her mother died in the early 2240s when she was twelve. She blamed her father who was supposed to go pick her up at the spaceport but didn't, forcing Mrs. Carter to take a transport and have the accident that killed her. Eventually, Sam forgave her father, although Mark didn't until after many years of estrangement.
