Lady Samhain was named for The Pagan New Year in Celtic "Summer Ends" and in honor of her great-great-grandfather, Lord Frederick William Howard and in honor of both of her great and grandfather, Lord Charles Andrew Howard. 

Lady Samhain was Lady Karissa's favorite daughter and she was not afraid to admit it and she was very close to Lady Samhain as Lady Samhain was close to her mother, but Lady Samhain was  also close to her second cousin once removed, Lord David William Beck II who was born two months after her birth on her father's and second cousin's birthday on December 21, 2276.

Lady Samhain was given a special name by her mother " The Little Peacemaker " whereas Lady Elizabeth was given the nickname as "Little Miss Haughty." by Lady Karissa.

Lady Samhain was sweet, obedient, and never gave her father and mother an ounce of trouble, whereas Lady Elizabeth did, and Lady Elizabeth wore both her father and mother's patience out, but she is was her grandfather's golden hair heiress and could never do any wrong.

Lady Elizabeth never feared her father, but when  it came to her mother she dare not speak against her or she would have something to cry about and Lady Karissa told her eldest daughter time and time " You came with a big price on my head I had to marry your father." 

"Why don't you divorce him and give me a new father?" Lady Elizabeth asks 

"I wish it was that simple Lady Elizabeth, but it isn't and I am stuck with him as you are." Lady Karissa tells her.

"Why didn't my grandmother drown his sorry rear-end." Lady Elizabeth asks.

"If she did you would not be here complaining." Lady Karissa tells her.

"You are stuck with the father Odin has given you, Lady Elizabeth." Lady Karissa explains.

"Why can't Odin give me a new father?" Lady Elizabeth asks.

"We don't ask our Gods and Goddesses for anything, Lady Elizabeth." Lady Karissa explains.

"Why can't I have Lord Richard William Carey for a new father?" Lady Elizabeth asks.

"Lord Richard William Carey is your third cousin." Lady Karissa tells her " You have the same great-great-grandfather, Lord Frederick William Howard."  

Lord Richard William Carey great-grandmother is your great-grandfather's sister. " Lady Karissa tells her.

"What does my father know about my great-great-grandfather?" Lady Elizabeth asks.

"Why not ask your grandfather that question, but I believe it is a sore subject with him." Lady Karissa explains.
