The story in short
Samira grew up in Amakra, on the eastern edge of the Great Sai in Shurima, where she and her parents performed in the streets. On the eve of her fourteenth birthday, armed strangers stormed the town, and she fled with her parents to Bel'zhun, a port under Noxian rule.
Drawn by the thrill and the money, she joined the Noxian army, where Captain Indari valued her fearlessness and took her into a special squad for the most dangerous missions. At Rokrund an explosion inside a fortress permanently damaged Samira's right eye and left Indari unable to walk. So Samira offered her a deal: Indari would find her the riskiest jobs from behind the scenes. With Indari's help, even the Noxian High Command came to accept Samira, and she now takes on missions meant for entire warbands.
