Relationships[]
Ruby Gillman[]

Ruby is Sam’s older sister by seven years. He loves to tease her, usually about her crush on the skater boy at high-school, Connor. Despite the constant teasing in a way only a sibling can do, he loves her greatly. Sam will not hesitate to defend or protect her from those out to get her, such as when Nerissa tried to kill her.
When he discovers that Ruby is a giant kraken, he grows supremely jealous of her without an ounce of malice. Due to his child-like wonder and hyperactive persona, he gets excited, asking her many questions and attempting to record her transformation despite his mother’s protests. The excitement of this revelation later switches to his grandmother’s form.
Uncle Brill[]
Brill is Sam’s uncle. He didn’t know he had an uncle prior to meeting him. They immediately get along, Brill’s goofy persona meshing well with Sam’s outgoingness.
Arthur Gillman[]
Arthur is Sam’s father, and the one he has the closest bond with. The two of them both share an interest in sports, usually making it a game to put the dishes in the sink. Even though he dislikes his dad’s flirting towards his mom, he loves him and the rest of his family endlessly.
Agatha Gillman[]
TBA
Grandmamah[]
Grandmamah is Sam’s warrior queen grandmother. Just like with Brill, they were both unaware of each other’s existences prior to the clash between Ruby and Nerissa.
