Trivia[]
- Despite being around since Season 1, Samira's name was not mentioned in dialogue until the Season 4 episode, Cafeteria Girls.
- While her voice is quieter and more soft-spoken in later seasons, her vocals used to be a more typical volume, even having a slight "valley girl" accent. Samira's first official voice debut, in Everybody Bleeds, features this when she talks to Jay. The next time she speaks, in What Is It About Boobs?, talking to Gina, her voice changes. It is unknown why her voice changed.
- Samira is never shown in Season 6, even though she was a prominent background character in the previous seasons.
- She sits between Andrew and Lola in Miss Rath's class in 7th grade, next to Jessi in Miss Benitez's class in 7th grade, and behind Jessi and Ali in Ms. Rath's class in 8th grade, although there didn't seem to be an official layout when Mr. Keating was subbing.
- Her parents watch John Wick every night. They also both work, sometimes later than usual.
- She is involved in choir, gymnastics, and karate.
- Samira shaves her entire body every single day, becoming so intensive she had to quit gymnastics.
- She is a reader, as she is shown to have a book in her hands multiple times. She also holds The Rock of Gibraltar in her scene in Cafeteria Girls, a popular in-universe book.
- Although her sexuality is not confirmed, Samira does like the same gender. She is confirmed to have interest in women because she dates Ali in Season 4 and Season 5. She may not have feelings for men, as she is afraid of Jay’s magic tricks in Everybody Bleeds and does not find the Go-Gurt Burglar attractive in The Shane Lizard Rises, even making fun of his appearance. Her interest in men may be true, considering she eyed Nick as he performed as Gustavo in Girls Are Horny Too.
Notes[]
- ↑ Samira was never in the background of the high school, despite having some minor appearances in Season 7 and 8, so it is unconfirmed if she went to Bridgeton High School or not.
- ↑ Samira told Ali that she would rather get a yeast infection in her armpit than ever talk to Jessi again, implying that Jessi and Samira never talk off-screen after The Green-Eyed Monster.
