Witnessing her mother's death at Ridley's hands left Samus with posttraumatic stress disorder, which manifested as a severe panic attack upon her first encounter with Ridley in adolescence. It later sacrificed itself at the end of Super Metroid to save Samus, leaving her heartbroken and emotionally scarred for some time, as shown in Metroid: Other M. In Metroid II, Samus also bonded with a Metroid who was born in front of her eyes, and decided to spare it, possibly recalling her three-year-old self during the attack on K-2L. Three notable instances of this were when she volunteered to single-handedly save the Luminoth race from the brink of extinction, when she helped innocent Etecoons and a Dachora escape a self-destructing Zebes, and when she swore to Quiet Robe that she will put an end to Raven Beak's evil ambitions. ĭespite her reputation for destroying even the deadliest of foes, Samus is also known for her compassion, and has consistently stood up to secure the helpless and downtrodden. Such is Samus' determination that she was even willing to sacrifice herself to prevent the spread of the body-snatching X Parasites. 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. She remains lonely and brooding in spite of her great accomplishments, and seeks revenge against the Space Pirates - especially Ridley, who was personally responsible for the death of her mother. She dislikes taking too many orders, and will only do so from those she respects. Typically, Samus is depicted as a melancholic, heroic loner of few words. Samus's feelings are often expressed through her eyes, as seen here in Metroid Dread, when she glares at the Robot Chozo Soldier that has killed Quiet Robe. Prior to Metroid: Other M, her voice would only be represented by text in beginning narration, as well as throughout Metroid Fusion.

However, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and Metroid: Other M are perhaps the most notable games in the series to give insight into Samus' personality, as well as other media formats such as comics and manga.
Samus's personality has rarely been explored in-depth within the context of the games, a conscious decision by Nintendo to help the player imagine themselves better as the in-game character.

With the death of the planet Phaaze, Samus Aran's arduous fight against Phazon has ended. Her residence has never been seen in the games, but has been depicted in comics and manga, much of them non-canon.Ī fictional " Second Office of Trentesse" organization, mentioned in the Japanese Nintendo Official Guide Book for Super Metroid, features a short profile of Samus. Samus was born on the Earth colony K-2L, and after its destruction was raised on Zebes by the Chozo. Although Samus wears the Power Suit throughout most of the Metroid series, she traditionally removes it at the end of most games, often as a result of satisfying certain conditions such as completing the game quickly or with a high percentage of the game's items collected or even both. However, completing Metroid in under five hours revealed Samus to be a young woman. Originally players were under the impression that Samus was a male, as even the instruction booklet suggested this. Samus broke ground early in the gaming world when she debuted in the 1986 game Metroid. Her most renowned achievements are the destruction of the Space Pirate base on Zebes, her role in ending the Galactic Phazon crisis, her extermination of the Metroid species, and her disobedience of orders at the Biologic Space Laboratories research station where she chose to destroy the deadly X Parasites rather than turn them over to the Galactic Federation. Equipped with her cybernetic Power Suit, Samus has become famous for accomplishing missions previously thought impossible. Though she ultimately left to become a Bounty Hunter, she was nonetheless hired by the Galactic Federation on many occasions. Once she reached adulthood, Samus joined the Federation Police and served under the Commanding Officer Adam Malkovich. Later, Samus was adopted by the mysterious Chozo and taken to Zebes, where she was infused with their DNA and raised to become a warrior.
