Samantha is an enemy Mirage in Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE.
Appearances[]
History[]
Samantha is based on the most recognizable character from the Ring franchise, Sadako Yamamura. Ring was originally a series of novels by Koji Suzuki, releasing in 1991, and receiving a number of movie adaptations under the same name. It also had a number of film adaptations reimagined by other countries such as the United States.
Sadako is the main antagonist of the series, and her fictional history alternates between continuities, but all depict her as the vengeful ghost of a psychic who was murdered and thrown into a well. As a ghost, she uses nensha, her most distinctive power and weapon, to create a cursed video tape. Whomever watches the tape will die exactly one week later unless the tape is copied and shown to another person, who then must repeat the same process.
With regards to the Mirage Sadaco, the use of the name Samantha appears to be a deviation of the name Samara, which is Sadako's name in the American version of The Ring released in 2002.
The artist's notes in the art book which accompanies the Japanese WiiU Collector's Edition of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE explain how the design itself is reminiscent of dolls or mannequins which you might find in many horror movies, noting a deviation from simply referencing Sadako alone.
