It doesn't come out and say what Samantha's Totems are, but, it does say
that she looks like a "typical goth girl" (or something like that). I
assumed that her Totems were typical goth affectations. An Ankh worn around
the neck. A multitude of piercings. (and breaking the trend...) The
Pentagram that had to be drawn.  

Just because she wasn't toting a magic wand doesn't mean she wasn't toting
Totems. They just might have been more Inobvious, to use the Champions
parliance. Anyway, thus far I don't believe that Bargainers have magic
powers sans their Totems, however, their sourcebook could certainly prove
that opinion wrong.
