Sam Simpson has a minion!

G.L.A.D.I.S. the Robo Vac

Samantha Simpson or "Sam/Sammie", is a main character in the "Totally Spies!" cartoon series. She is a secret agent and super spy of The World Organization of Human Protection (WOOHP), a covert spy agency run by a veteran spy named Jerry Lewis. Her two best friends, Clover and Alex also work at the agency and are on her spy team.Sam is a total brainiac and a straight-A student in fact she has the best grades ever recorded in Beverly Hills High School history. Sam is smart and loyal, sensible and mature although she can sometimes be a hypocrite. She has great leadership skills and is the analyst of the 3 girls. She formulates most of the strategies they use for fighting villains or getting out of near-death situations. As a running gag on her intelligence, she is often brainwashed by baddies. She is the 'big sister' of the team and the oldest of the trio. She is always focused on the task at hand whether it's studying for school or fighting crime. When she's not busy with her studies or carrying out her spy duties, Sam enjoys shopping at the Beverly Hills mall, visiting beauty salons, relaxing in the pool, working out at the gym, and roller skating. Sam also enjoys playing chess and became friends with another spy, Britney due to that commonality. Her favorite color is purple despite green being her signature color. She has a talent of playing the accordion, having won 6 gold ribbons. Her favorite foods are creamed calamariand chocolate chip muffins.It is worth noting that a significant number of Sam's love interests have brown hair, green eyes, and/or rather tan skin. This trend has been shown to continue into Season 6, notably with the episode "Vide-o-no!". Villain Tim Scam seems to be the originator of Sam's trend of (for the majority of her crushes) falling for: blue/green eyed, brown haired, tall, muscular, tan skinned; men as this pattern of hers began right after his first appearance (there was one other man, Ricky Mathis who had these physical characteristics that appeared before Tim Scam but Sam showed no romantic interest in him). This has been taken as a subconscious hint by some fans of the fact that despite claiming to be over Scam, Sam never really, fully got over him. Throughout the show there are many other instances that suggest the same. In the French dub of the same episode she went as far as calling him charming and irresistible, not to mention she admits how she thought of him in a positive manner before finding out he was another "run of the mill terrorist." While generally always being the spy to catch onto things first, she was also last to realize Scam was her enemy.While her friends were starting to grow suspicious, Sam was the one in denial and who was jumping to Scam's defence and saying nothing was off about him. For example after they were almost shredded to death by the Platinum WOOHP credit card he gave them and Mac seemed unaffected by the news, Alexandra asked him if it doesn't even bother him that they were almost killed. Sam immediately makes up a valid excuse for him by saying quote, "Mac is a seasoned agent; he's probably been in so many dangerous situations stuff like this doesn't even phase him."Sam was also the one who decided, after finding Scam's fingerprints on the dynamite in Mac's car, that Tim Scam was trying to kill Mac Smit instead of making the obvious connection that Mac was Tim and he planted the dynamite in order to eliminate her and her friends which is why he loaned them his car for their ride home. Finally when she "broke up" with him, she did so while looking upset and with the words, "I can't believe I thought you were actually cool. You seemed so smart...but now I see you're just another run of the mill terrorist. We are like SO over!" Regardless of supposedly being over him she continues to admire his intelligence as shown clearly in some episodes. For example, in "Morphing Is Sooo 1987" upon studying his invention in her school lab she says "wow" in reaction despite Clover and Alex being right there with her. Also in "Mommies Dearest" when Scam is attacked by her and her friends' mothers after his plan goes wrong, while Alex and Clover cringe at the scene, Sam closes her eyes and puts her hands over them as if she cannot watch him get hurt.In "Morphing Is Sooo 1987" when Scam is insulting the spies, Sam reacts differently than Clover and Alexandra and takes his ridicule more personally. While her friends say nothing in response to him and just look annoyed, Sam is shown to gasp twice. In the episode “The O.P.” Clover describes her ideal, perfect man as the following: has bluey-green eyes, is strong but gentle, artistic, but with an advanced grasp of natural and applied science, buff but not bulky, likes dogs, and that his name starts with a “T”. Except for liking dogs (which we can not know as that much detail was never given on Scam) everything else seems to describe Tim Scam to every detail. What’s interesting is Samantha’s reaction to Clover’s list. While Alex says nothing Sam, while initially gushing at the features of Clover’s ideal man, when she reaches the end of the list (name starts with a “T”) and thus what appears to be, in every way Tim Scam's full description she pauses, looking annoyed and tells Clover she’s being quote “picky much” as if to dissuade her from finding such a guy. Then when the Love Computer tells Clover that no such man exists, Sam is shown laughing to herself audibly as if pleased with the computer's failure to find Clover this man whereas Alex just smiles lightly.Tim Scam remains to date the only guy both in whom Samantha had a clear romantic interest and for whom she bought a present. In “The New Jerry” she buys him a blue, cashmere sweater from the mall in Paris to which he sends the spies, while pretending to be their new WOOHP guardian Mac Smit.Tim Scam was also Sam's first crush shown in the series.-CREDITS-
