In the videos she is the idol of Sam/Psycho Mantis (played by Sofia Chicorelli Serna), a girl who wants to be a gamer just like her, despite her sexist mother not allowing her. However after Alia gives her a PS5, she becomes a professional gamer and earns a lot of fame and money, and her mother discards her sexist beliefs. This in itself brings more issues such as a bully targeting her due to her fame, but she earns his friendship by paying for his rent and car. "Sam" and SSSniperWolf appear in more miscellaneous videos, though with minor roles.
