Samantha Stephens

Samantha Stephens's History

Background

Samantha was nine months old when she realized she was a witch. Endora said she was precocious that way. Samantha could not disappear past her knees until she was five.

She attended her Aunt Hagatha's school for witches. According to Endora, all the chic people did.

She and Waldo were childhood friends. He harbored, then and presently, romantic feelings for her. However, Samantha only thinks of him as a friend.

Ashley Flynn courted her, but she rejected him because she was never interested. She has two ex-boyfriends, George and Rollo, both of whom try to win her back (at Endora's prompting) to persuade her to leave her mortal life. Rollo considers her the "only blot on his record" because she is the only one in his life who rejected him.

Samantha has been to many exotic places in her lifetime including India and even the moon.

Marriage

In 1964, she married a mortal named Darrin Stephens, who wanted her to live a normal mortal life, so she and Darrin made an agreement that she would not use witchcraft unless it was absolutely necessary. This decision was much to the dismay of her parents, Endora and Maurice, who do not like the fact that their daughter is "rejecting" her heritage.

However, witchcraft always will be a part of the Stephens family as Samantha's family is always playing tricks on Darrin. Through the years, Darrin would accept that magic always will be a part of Samantha.

Samantha and Darrin have a loving relationship, but they are always battling against people who want to break up their marriage. They have each learned to be a part of the other's world.

Children

In 1965, Samantha gave birth to a daughter named Tabitha who inherited Samantha's magic powers, including twitching her nose. Samantha had to be extra firm with Tabitha because of her headstrong personality, especially when teaching her when and when not to use witchcraft, even when Endora encouraged her to do so.

In 1969, Samantha gave birth to a boy named Adam who, like his sister, inherited his mother's magic powers. He was encouraged to use witchcraft by his grandfather Maurice, but Adam's powers had been latent due to his father's disapproval of witchcraft. Once Darrin told him it was okay to use his powers (at Samantha's pleading), Adam displayed magic for the first time.
