Sami

Sami is a Commanding Officer from Orange Star. She is one of the first CO's played in the series, debuting in the eighth mission of Advance Wars. She as known as ドミノ Domino in the Japanese versions of the games and Tami in the German versions of the games.

Role

Sami acts as backup to Andy and Max in Advance Wars, participating in missions that particularly centre around capturing enemy territory. She later assists Yellow Comet and Green Earth in Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising by giving them intel, supplies and support. Sami also arrives in Omega Land along with Grit, Eagle and Sonja to provide the Allied Nations with reinforcements to fight off the rejuvinated Bolt Guard.

Personality

Sami is a friendly CO towards most people, although she can be very dangerous when upset. She also has a high amount of respect for her superiors.

Relationships

Sami's relationship with Eagle started off badly, with her declaring him to be an unfit CO due to his attack first, ask questions later mentality. However, Sami recognised that Eagle wasn't a bad person deep down. This later developed into a mutual trust and, after Eagle saved her from Adder's forces in Macro Land, a full romance.

Sami was Sonja's rival during their school days. Both went to the same acadamy and developed a fierce rivalry. The two stayed as rivals throughout their life, although on more friendly terms.

Sami acts as the brains among the Orange Star army, with Nell mediating between Sami's careful and planning style and the more impulsive Andy and Max.
