What does Samus mean to you?

[Salnax]

Samus is a paranoid freak. She inspects every bit of ground for secrets, is obsessed with doing things perfectly and quickly, is terrified of the monsters she seeks after in fits of rage, capable of attaching to others but scared to do so, with no clear path in life other than continuing her suicidal march into nightmarish territory.

This is just based off of gameplay. I'm a bit clueless about the story nowadays.
