Sam Whitman

"If dying is the price for saving the world, so be it"

- Sam to Mike

Detective Sam Whitman is the deuteragonist of Life is Strange: The Guardian. She is (not) based loosely on the characters on the same name.

She's an SPD (Seattle Police Department) detective and Mike's close friend. Since it is against the law to interfere with FBI investigations, the FBI holds her in check for finding and apprehending high-level offenders. She lost her father and, like Mike, is depressed. Since then, she and her mother have had a cold relationship. But since meeting Mike and the others, she has developed into a confident individual. Despite the fact that Sam and Mike are close friends, we see signs that they may have feelings for each other.

She is portrayed by a sim by Sims 4

Trivia

 * In her police department, she wouldn't leave any case just open and shut. She would find the right person responsible and she always trust her instincts to do the right thing.
 * One of the reasons to be part of Police force is she doesn't like when people get away with something that they shouldn't.
 * She was a minor antagonist and anti-hero in Mike and Sam's fight. She spent the first scenes trying to get rid of Mike (believing that it was Andrew who was responsible for the explosion at the Seattle hospital that caused the death of his young friend Juliette).
