The main female protagonist of the Metroid series.
Orphaned during a space pirate raid on her home of K-2L, Samus Aran was adopted by mysterious aliens called Chozo and taken to Zebes, where she was infused with their alien DNA and raised to become a warrior. Once she reached adulthood, Samus joined the Federation Police, where she served under the Commanding Officer Adam Malkovich, but she ultimately left to become a bounty hunter. As a bounty hunter, armed in her cybernetic Power Suit, Samus has become famous for her accomplishments on missions thought otherwise impossible. Her most renowned achievements are the destruction of the Space Pirate base at Zebes, her role in ending the Galactic Phazon crisis, her extermination of the Metroid species, and her disobedience of orders at BSL where she chose to destroy the deadly X Parasite rather than turn it over to the Galactic Federation.
Because of her physiological enhancements, Samus is very big, muscular and strong (for an average woman). Her height is 6'3" (1.90 m) and her weight is 198 lbs (90kg) without her Power Suit.
