Samira Kernher is a Sebiestor capsuleer and former slave who has chosen to remain loyal to the Amarr Empire. Quiet and withdrawn, she keeps a distance from both baseliner and capsuleer society. Nevertheless, her choice to stay in the Empire despite being released from slavery has resulted in both praise from Amarr, who believe that Kernher is an example of successful Reclaiming, and derision from Minmatar, who consider Kernher a traitor unworthy of the marks she used to wear.
History
Early life
Kernher was born in servitude to the Casern Family on the planet of Thebeka III, at the edge of the Ardishapur half of the Domain region of the Amarr Empire. Though not a true oceanic planet, Thebeka III had only very few land masses with the majority clumped together at the poles. Most of the planet's surface was ocean. Kernher and her family lived on the continent of Casern, which was a small continent to the south of the polar regions. Casern's southerly position made it known for very warm temperatures.
Kernher and her family were owned by Lord Esmail Casern, the Holder of Casern, but for all practical purposes they belonged to Lord Casern's niece, Lady Aara Casern, by Custodial Servitude Contract. Kernher's father, Ansar, worked as head technician for Lady Aara and had previously been in Lord Casern's maintenance staff. Kernher's mother, Ranaa, was an accounting manager for the Holder of Thebeka, and had met Ansar during business conferences between their lords. She was bought by Lord Casern after asking for permission from the two lords to marry Ansar.
Kernher was the youngest of three children, born shortly after her family had been contracted to Lady Aara. Kernher had a positive relationship with her siblings, but she regularly butted heads with her brother, Mikal. Mikal, who strongly opposed the slavery of the Minmatar, did not understand how his younger sister could be taken in so fully by the Amarr faith. Mikal argued that they should take pride in their heritage, but Kernher came to despise that heritage.
Kernher was allowed relative freedom for her first seven years, though she was given extensive education from both slave and Amarr lecturers. These lessons established fundamental principles that Kernher would carry for the rest of her life, and included traditional religious education and training in proper manners and etiquette. Foremost among the lessons that Kernher received was that the Amarr were God's Chosen, blessed with bringing his message to the rest of the universe. Very little information was provided of the world outside of Ardishapur space during these lessons, and even less about the world beyond the Empire's borders. It would not be until many years later that Kernher would begin to learn that the societies beyond the Empire were anything more than primitive faithless in need of guidance.
As a child, Kernher had something of a wild streak that was encouraged by her siblings. Though she paid attention during her lessons, she had a habit of wandering when she wasn't watched, and toying with objects that weren't hers. She was routinely disciplined for these transgressions, though this only encouraged her to better hide her activities.
The high status of Kernher's parents--11th generation and favored--provided her and her siblings better opportunities than many other slaves in the Empire. Kernher was enrolled in an Amarrian school and continued her education into her teenage years. Despite the good prospects for her future, Kernher had a difficult time in school. As a Minmatar and a slave she was a focal point for discrimination by some of the other students, all of whom came from commoner families and many with worse fortunes than Kernher's relatively pampered upbringing. This had a formative effect on her personality and resulted in Kernher shutting herself inside instead of retaliating against the bullying. Validated by her religious education, she ended up internalizing the attacks.
Kernher's brother, meanwhile, took the opposite response and was regularly suspended from school for physically assaulting other students. He was eventually dismissed entirely and instead contracted as an apprentice to a construction company in the city. Only Kernher and her sister actually managed to finish school, though Aaminah performed much better as Kernher frequently skipped school to avoid bullying.

Faith
Samira's faith is very strong, though much of it is the result of heavy indoctrination during her youth. She gives very little thought to her beliefs, and sees them as right because she has been taught that they are right. Though she does argue theology, it almost always revolves around spiritual matters rather than consideration of factual elements.
As a former slave, Samira adheres to the teachings of the Salvation Church of Blessed Servitude. As a result, her beliefs revolve around submission, and so she views it as a positive and noble tradition. Ambition and desire, on the other hand, are things she views as an evil. Samira is also a firm believer in the power of salvation, and in its necessity for the "lesser races" (such as herself) who, according to Amarr faith, turned from God hundreds of thousands of years ago.
