Name: Samantha James Shephard, aka Sammi, Sammi J, or Sam Age: 17 Family: Father - Jack Shephard, Mother - Kate (Austen) Shephard, Aunt - Claire Littleton (deceased), Cousin - Aaron Littleton, Grandfathers - Sam (named for) Austen & Christian Shephard (deceased), Grandmothers - Diane Janssen & Margo Shephard. History: Sammi was conceived shortly before her parents left the mysterious island that they had crash landed on months before. Her mother, Kate, didn't know she was pregnant at the time they left but found out shortly after they arrived home. Named for her paternal grandfather (as she's been told) and the man who jumped out of a helicopter so that both of her parents could leave the island, she has mostly always gone by Sammi or Sammi J though only her father calls her the latter. Her mother's criminal case was officially closed just weeks before she was born, but Sammi herself has never felt free. She has dreams of the island, of mysterious people calling to her. People that feel so familiar, she feels like she knew them in a past life. She has started to figure out that she was never meant to be taken from the island and that it will keep pulling at her until she finds her way back to it. Powers: An inherent ability to heal others, though she can't bring them back if they are too close to death or have already died. Also has strange prophetic dreams but they are all related to the island and the people on it, so she doesn't know what they are or what they mean.
