Samus Aran

Samus Aran is slender and light-skinned with a muscular physique under the armor, though her superhuman abilities may be accountable to her muscle/bone density given her hybrid genetics and augmentations. She is 6 feet 3 inches tall. Her hair color is blonde, her eye color is blue with a green tinge (fully green in Other M), and she appears to be Caucasian. Samus typically wears her blond hair in a modified ponytail with a red hairband, with a lock on either side. The exact hairstyle, however, can vary from game to game.

Samus is a hero of few words, and a fearsome warrior. She remains quiet and brooding in spite of her great accomplishments, and has devoted her life to maintaining peace in the galaxy. Her main opponents are the Space Pirates - especially Ridley, who was personally responsible for the death of her mother. Despite her tragic origins, Samus has been shown to have unparalleled willpower and resourcefulness, succeeding where thousands failed and stopping at nothing to save the galaxy from any threat that may arise. Such is Samus' determination that she was even willing to sacrifice herself to prevent the spread of the body-snatching X Parasites.

Although Samus works for the betterment of the galaxy and frequently collaborates with the Galactic Federation, she is a lone wolf at heart, only taking their orders due to their common goals and bounties. She has little respect for authority and dislikes being told what to do, only allowing such supervision from those she trusts such as Adam Malkovich, and rejecting others such as Raven Beak or even the Galactic Federation when their goals no longer intersected with hers. In her youth, Samus had an especially strong rebellious streak due to her turbulent emotional state; this earned her the attention of her colleagues, resulting in Adam Malkovich developing the phrase "Any objections, Lady?" to acknowledge her at the end of briefings.

Samus wears two suits. The Zero Suit and her Power Suit.

The Power Suit, also known as the Normal Suit , is a suit of powered armor designed by the Chozo. This term applies to both Samus' Chozo Battle Suit Ver SA1-4468-VM6-Pin its basic form without any upgrades, and her suit as a whole regardless of its current upgrade level. The word "Power Suit" is short for powered armorsuit.

The Zero Suit is a skin-tight, full-body, blue suit emblazoned with Chozo markings. It also has light red, glowing markings on its back which seem to serve some purpose
