Samara is a nearly thousand-year-old asari justicar, a member of an ancient monastic order following a strict honor code. Though she is skilled with weapons, Samara usually relies on her powerful biotic abilities. Samara had three daughters, but discovered, to her horror, they were all Ardat-Yakshi, suffering a genetic condition that made them kill their mates during melding. Two of Samara's daughters, Falere and Rila, chose to live their lives in isolation and comfort. Her third daughter, Morinth, whom Samara described as the "smartest and bravest" of the three, refused to go into seclusion and fled, beginning a spree of murder and violence. Morinth becomes smarter, more powerful, and deadlier after each coupling. Recognizing her daughter's growing addiction to killing her mates, Samara gave up her worldly possessions, swore herself to the Code, and became a justicar. Samara and Morinth appear in ME2. Samara returns to fight the Reapers in ME3, provided she survived Shepard's attack on the Collector base in ME2 (or Shepard didn't kill her to spare Morinth). Samara's/Morinth's face is modeled after model Rana McAnear.http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lovhscAe8R1qbxdt7o1_500.jpg -masseffect.wikia.com
