That's why I'm here, to care for them.

Doctor Samantha Cooper is one of the five main protagonists and a playable character in The Dark Pictures Anthology's fifth installment, Directive 8020. She is an astronaut and medical specialist of the Cassiopeia. She was modelled on Ashley Voom.

Personality

Outgoing and friendly, Samantha cares for people not only because of her role as a medic, but because of her genuine desire to help people and bring them some hope. She is always ready to support her crewmates, both physically and mentally, and prioritizes their health above everything else.

Following the incident at Jessops Station, Samantha was left with severe psychological trauma, suffering from survivor's guilt after the death of her entire team. Nevertheless, not only she was able to overcome the trauma, with the help of her close friend Zoe Anders, but she emerged with a new will to live and determination, ready to fight and survive once more in order to achieve her goals.

Biography

Dr. Samantha Cooper is a skilled medic who first learned her trade as part of Medevac, the Marines' medical evacuation team. Unfortunately, her time in Medevac ended abruptly following the infamous 'Jessops Station' tragedy, where Cooper was the sole survivor from her team.

After this, Cooper worked hard to overcome her trauma. Her oldest friend Zoe Anders helped her recover and later Cooper repaid the favour by recommending Anders as the replacement Science Officer for Corinth's mission. Overall, Cooper has emerged from her trauma as a resilient person, focused on moving forward.

Her dedication to her craft and her amiable nature is what make her the perfect choice for the Cassiopeia – she's not just a doctor with a good bedside manner; she's a fighter who will put everything on the line for the future of humanity.
