All right, so. Sherlock is pretty famous for his deductive abilities, which basically means he can tell you a bunch of things about something at a glance. The problem is, he often tries this out on other people, as John Watson and Henry Knight, among others, can attest to. Very rarely do people manage to throw him off, though that honor can go to Jim Moriarty, who's a damn good actor, and Irene Adler, who first met him naked. But that's another story, so.

This post is, basically, so you can tl;dr on your character's habits, clothes, posture, career, scars, tics, measurements...yeah. Basically, lots of little things most people don't notice from your character. Hey, I'm not as perceptive as Sherlock, and I'm lazier. Dump anything you might think he'd notice and deduce from a few glances at your character, which is a lot, mind.

Also I think I'm done here.

Okay, you know that cliche where even someone who isn't Sherlock can tell if you're Military? Stuff like good posture and having a really efficient, marchy walk? No, am I just making that up? I don't know. Either way, Samus has some of that going on. Another mannerism thing is that she very rarely fully relaxes. She's very alert and even subtly on-edge.

If he finds himself checking her out (sure, just for the detective work) she pretty unmistakably has a body like a gymnast. Small, unobstructive but very developed muscles, all about agility. However, where she looks slightly strong she actually is insanely strong; there are no clues on her person that she has alien DNA and all the plot-convenient perks that go with it.

Beyond that, most of Samus's cultural/economic/occupational mannerisms and traces and such are from nowhere near Earth, so there's not much about them Sherlock would recognize. Her family probably is vaguely Irish in descent considering "Samus" is a female variant of "Seamus" and "Aran" could be derived from the islands, but the Arans had pretty much been living off Earth for way too long for her to have an Irish accent or anything for him to pick up on. The name, though, might stick out to him.
