Name: Sam Winchester
Canon: SPN
Age: 37
Appearance: here
Canon Point: 15x20 pie fest
Background: Here

Personality:
Sensitivity/Caring: Sam's sensitivity and caring is one of his greatest strengths. He is a relatable person and he immediately makes people feel comfortable in his presence. He is able to get information and put people at ease by just being nice to them. Sam wants to believe the best in people and is more apt to trust than his brother. It might be considered a weakness by some, but Sam views it as a strength. He likes being able to relate to people on an emotional level.

Intelligence: Sam has a big brain, meaning he is super smart. Dean gives him crap all the time about going to college but on some level, Dean is proud of his baby brother. Sam uses his brain to save the day throughout his life, saving Dean's bacon. He leads Dean through an old burned church, which was hallowed ground-based on something he read in order to get rid of the ghost. Sam is often the one that researches the lore and spells that are used on their hunts. Sam did complete 2 full years of college and he was studying to be a lawyer. He loves to read anything, online or in print. He feels most at home when he is explaining something to his brother or anyone who might be willing to listen.

Voice of reason Sam often sees things that Dean doesn't and often tries to get Dean to slow down and do their research. Sam is called the brains of the operation and Dean the brain. Sam picks up on details that Dean often misses. Sam also remembers things that he's read so much so that Dean will call him a walking encyclopedia of weirdness on occasion.

Mental Strength: Just by looking at Sam, someone would not think that he was as mentally strong. Dean has always acted like a protector of Sam, almost like a job, and Sam let him in part because it was just easier and Sam understood that Dean needed to feel needed. Sam did show his mental strength when he fought and beat Lucifer and saved his brother. It put the boys on more of an even playing field for the first time. Sam and Dean both have been through a lot over the years, but Sam's trials seem to take a more emotional toll on him. He wants so badly for Dean to think he's strong and infallible that he often takes on more than he should.

Believes that an apple pie life is possible: Even after all the shit Sam has seen, dealt with, and been through, he still believes that there is a normal life out there for them. That there will be peace when they are done, to quote Kansas. Sam never understood why John would abandon his family and stop being a parent to both him and Dean. He has latent anger issues with his Dad for leaving Dean to raise him. He fights with John almost every time they see each other. That anger transfers to Dean in the beginning because of Dean's need to defend their father all the time.

Weaknesses/Temptations:
Love: Love is supposed to be kind, right? It is supposed to be merciful but in the curious case of Sam Winchester, love is one of his weaknesses. Sam is the type of man who shows a great emotional capacity to love. He is accepting of literally anyone and can differentiate between a meat suit and a demon. Sam's capacity to love and his ability to just accept things at face value weakens Sam to a certain degree. He is more likely to get burned and suffer emotional fallout for a long time. Back in his early days as a hunter, Sam took the side of a demon over Dean and ended up releasing Lucifer into the world. Sam also took Lucifer's vessel in, later on, wanting to protect him because Nick was more than the demon Lucifer but he got burned when Nick murdered someone for revenge.

guilt Sam takes the weight of the world onto his shoulders. He believes that because he is smart and has faith, he should be able to figure everything out. Guilt drives Sam, especially when times are tough. He often doesn't know how to exist much less cope day to day without his brother. Sam, in a way, has always felt responsible or guilty for every bad thing that has ever happened to him or the people he cares about. Every time Dean dies, Sam loses a little piece of himself, and the guilt that he feels at being left behind causes him to behave erratically. Sam often makes poor decisions based on the guilt he feels over losing his brother. A key example is Sam drinking demons' blood while Dean was down in hell after making a crossroads deal to save Sam's life.

Self Worth: Dean is not the only Winchester brother to struggle with self-worth. Sam also struggles with self-worth and not feeling like he is good enough. Sam has a hard time accepting that there are people in his world that would willingly give up their lives to save him. His self-worth also took a hit because of his contentious relationship with his father. Sam struggles a lot because of the actions or lack of action by John Winchester. Sam for years believed that somehow he could have done something different and somehow their lives would be better. He puts a lot of pressure on himself to be the perfect son, perfect brother, even though he struggles to believe that he is half as good as his brother. Sam also suffers from PTSD from the year he spent without a soul and the many traumas that happened before and after.

Sam is terrified of clowns.

He is also afraid of being left alone.
