Sami, as she appears Advance Wars: Dual Strike

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

In Advance Wars 1

Sami acts as backup to Andy and Max in Advance Wars, participating in missions that particularly centre around capturing enemy territory. Completing a series of missions with her in Green Earth unlocks Eagle during the final battle against Black Hole.

In Advance Wars 2

Sami returns in Advance Wars 2, liberating Orange Star alongside Andy and Max. Later into the campaign, she offers supplies and intel to Yellow Comet and Green Earth, as well as reinforcements. She can be selected to command forces during the final missions of each nation, as well as the battles in Black Hole.

In Advance Wars Dual Strike

Sami arrives in Omega Land late into the war, along with Grit, Eagle, and Sonja. The party offers reinforcements from Macro Land to fight the Bolt Guard. From this point on, she can be selected to fight in any mission.

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.
