Samantha Arias

Samantha "Sam" Arias is the acting CEO of L-Corp, and the mother of Ruby Arias.

Biography
Samantha attended the Supergirl statue unveiling by Lena Luthor with her daughter, Ruby. Ruby ran into Alex Danvers, and Samantha made her daughter apologize, and Alex accepted. There was an attack on the unveiling, and a metal bar fell on Ruby. Samantha, frantic and desperate to save her daughter, lifted the intensely heavy beam, much to her surprise. She later went to bed, but woke up from a nightmare after unknowingly dreaming of Alura Zor-El turning into a hideous monster.

Sometime later, she prepared waffles for breakfast, Ruby questioning her about what happened at the unveiling. Samantha explained to Ruby that it was nothing more than an adrenaline rush, caused by seeing her daughter in danger, and that it happens to lots of mothers. Ruby didn't believe her, and continued to insist that Samantha had super powers. Moments before she entered a meeting, Sam was called by the principal of Ruby's school, and was informed that Ruby had been in a fight. When asked why she was fighting, Ruby told her mother that a girl in her school called her liar for saying that her mother had superpowers. Samantha tried to convince Ruby again that she didn't have powers, which caused her to yell, and Ruby to run off. Sometime following, Samantha received delivery pizza, taking it to Ruby's room, only to find her gone. She messaged Ruby as to her location, which she gave her. Samantha found Ruby in the midst of an attack by Psi, and moments before they were crushed by a wrecking ball, Supergirl saved them. Samantha talked to Ruby after the attack, and realized that Ruby wanted her to have super powers so that she wouldn't have to work, and could just save people and spend time with her. Samantha then assured her daughter that she would always spend time with her, no matter what. Later, she appeared at CatCo where she met Kara Danvers, and revealed that she was hired at L-Corp to be the acting CEO while Lena Luthor adjusted to her new business. At home, Samantha had trouble sleeping and, while searching for lightbulbs, found a crowbar. She remembered what her daughter had said and tried to bend it, but failed in doing so.
