Costume Appearance
Not a genuine costume, as Director Beckett is unpowered, and would not be caught dead playing dress up. Director Beckett in her capacity as Director wears very flattering custom-fitted business-wear.
Fond of black turtle-necks, and a very professional overcoat over her shoulders when she needs to make appearances outside in her official capacity, with the notable addition of a PRT ballistic vest.
Field work is not something she is liable to do anymore, though she does have a more complete set of PRT issue armor for her protection during an S-class threat situation, a seige on the PRTHQ for instance, or similar emergency.
She typically has her sidearm with her, usually in a shoulder holster, though she has other holsters if she needs them instead for whatever reason."
Civilian Appearance
Samantha stands at five feet & eleven inches in height, she has fair white skin & very black hair in a blunt bob cut. She has very clear and healthy skin, typically wearing very little in the way of makeup, only going beyond the basics when making a public appearance with the media.
She wears high-quality circular glasses, with contacts in a travel case in her suit pocket. Her clothing outside of work is typically also very professional though she tends to incorporate more in the way of accessories; scarves, jewelry, etc.
Mentality
Samantha's attitude can best be summarized as 'Professional' this is by her own design, in her youth she had trouble acting out in school & at home, and Samantha put real genuine effort into self-reflection & incremental change to sort herself out.
She is relatively even-tempered, but is ultimately only human, and is not without an occasional temper, though is well equipped to suppress it when she'd rather throttle someone for their idiocy and incompetency.
Samantha is willing to forgive and forget in her personal life, but is much more willing to remember past failings when acting in a professional setting, she does believe in change for the better, but maintains a 'show don't tell' policy for those trying to grow past their prior mistakes.
She value's honesty, especially when its an ugly truth, admitting mistakes, failure, or weakness is something she considers very brave, and doing so when push comes to shove is a quick way to earn a bit of her respect. Friendship is something that comes slowly to her, she prefers letting it happen gradually and naturally, though she doesn't resent those who try to form comradery more directly, she is well aware that different folks form bonds differently.
She doesn't mind polite personal questions, but she isn't afraid to decline answering on grounds of 'I don't know you that well yet, try again in the future. Brown nosing is one of the quickest ways onto her shitlist.
Samantha is Aromantic & Asexual, having zero interest in romance or sexual intimacy. She is female entirely because thats whats on her birth records, and doesn't care to consider anything as trivial as gender identity beyond that.
She genuinely believes in the PRT & Protectorate's cause. She does very much believe in the idea of America, & the ideals of Freedom and Justice. But is not blinded by patriotism in the slightest, well aware of systematic failures, but believing that the best response to those failures is working to fix them overtime, incrimental positive changes being the hardest to undo by those with poor intentions. She isn't especially fond of Swordfish, but is ambivalent on Watchdog & Nucleus.
She isn't someone who is fond of excess, but does make efforts to live a more comfortable lifestyle when its convenient, and she doesn't feel it an unnessicary distraction or something wasteful.
Samantha prefers a tidy home, a tidy workplace, and a tidy body. She lives a healthy lifestyle within reason, not denying small pleasures like nice food or drink, but working to maintain a healthy fitness and use moderation."
