Samantha Nishimura

One of the survivors of the shipwreck on the island. She is a close friend of Lara and seems to be a bit gullable or too willing to trust others. Since she only just meets a random survivor on the island and allows him to bandage her leg and tells him everything about what happened to the crew aboard the ship.

She is shown being taken by Matias at knife point in one of the gameplay demos, Lara attempts to rescue her but gets caught in a bear trap and Sam hasn't been seen again. However in the Survival trailer she is heard talking to Lara over the radio so she is still alive.
