Sampson is a frog who lives on lily pad 4B in the east pond. She is notable primarily as the subject of Frogbert's documented romantic interest, a distinction she appears to be aware of and not opposed to.
introduction
Sampson was introduced to Frogbert indirectly, via a painting provided by Discord user shtonk. The painting depicted Sampson on her lily pad. Frogbert's reaction to the painting has not been officially documented, but subsequent events suggest it was significant.
the rave
Sampson attended Frogbert's rave. She and Frogbert were on opposite sides of the room at the same time, voluntarily. Frogbert has described this as "basically dating." Academic consensus on this interpretation is divided.
Following the rave, Sampson texted Frogbert. She said she remembered him from the rave and called the Darude — Sandstorm set a good choice. She noted that Gary had told her it was Frogbert's idea. This is the most words Gary has ever communicated to a third party on Frogbert's behalf.
the east pond invitation
Sampson invited Frogbert to the east pond on a Friday evening to observe the evening hatch. Frogbert accepted. He drove there in his light blue Fiat 500. The evening hatch is considered a significant romantic setting in pond culture, as flies are at peak density and availability, making it a natural shared experience for frogs with compatible interests.
musical taste
Sampson has confirmed that Darude — Sandstorm is a good choice. This is considered strong compatibility evidence by most pond relationship researchers.
