She has a fairly minor, supporting role until the third book, at which point she flowers. There's a bit of sexual material in the story (not with any of the child characters, and only a little bit) - I hope you won't find it offensive - but I do find the bit where Sam worries that the Greeks will think she and Orlando (in the roles of Achilles and Patroculus) are gay lovers amusing.

"I hope you won't find it offensive "

Not gonna worry. Often there's a place for it in a book. Usually it's better when the writer doesn't get carried away with too many details, IMHO.
