Name (First and Last): Patrice Uhlmeyer

Age: 34

Hometown: New Orleans, LA

Occupation: Paranormal Investigator

Tell me about their personality: Patrice is an extremely social person and has been her entire life. The only thing Patrice loves more than making people laugh is amazing people with her stories about her time as a Paranormal Investigator. Patrice is proud of the fact that New Orleans is widely considered one of the most haunted cities in the United States, as well as the fact that it is home to the grave of "Voodoo Queen" Marie Laveau, a place where people leave the "Voodoo Queen" offerings and ask for help. When Patrice is not conducting investigations in people's homes or public places, she loves spending time with her husband, Oliver, and their twin daughters, Sadie and Sylvia. She also enjoys playing video games, watching movies, reading mystery/horror novels (especially stories by Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King), playing cards, traveling, watching live plays, and playing tennis and badminton.

Tell me about their backstory (Sorry if this is a bit long): Patrice was born into a Presbyterian family in New Orleans, Louisiana, and has lived in New Orleans for her entire life. She has two older siblings named Anthony (now 40) and Rebecca (now 38), as well as a younger brother named Dylan (now 31). Patrice has been fascinated with the macabre for as long as she can remember and describes herself as a huge history buff and science geek. Patrice has always been a very smart person, getting mostly As throughout her school career. Although Patrice has also been very social and has had quite a few friends for most of her life, Patrice has never considered herself to be one of the "popular girls," instead claiming to be one of the "nerds." In Patrice's junior year of high school, she fell in love with her now husband, Oliver, and the two high school sweethearts got married 8 years later (when Patrice and Oliver were both 24). Two years after that, Patrice gave birth to their twin daughters, Sadie and Sylvia.

After Patrice graduated High School, she attended Duke University in North Carolina, wanting to pursue a degree in parapsychology. It was a difficult decision for Patrice to make, considering that she had never been away from her family for very long. In 2005, when Patrice was 22 and nearing completion of her degree, she was devastated to hear about Hurricane Katrina striking her home city of New Orleans. Her family ended up displaced and Patrice remembers being worried sick about them, even to the point of considering leaving school to look for them, although Oliver convinced her that it was a bad idea. Once the storm passed, she was thankful to learn that her family was okay, even though her parents and her brother, Anthony, lost their homes. Patrice has since completed her Bachelor's degree in Parapsychology and is how happily living in New Orleans where she works as a Paranormal Investigator.

Are they more strategic, Social, or physical and why?: Mostly strategic. Patrice knows that she can hold her own in challenges, as well as the fact that she's quite social. However, she believes that people will perceive her as the "Crazy Ghost Hunter Lady" and underestimate her, allowing her to play a very strategic game and make moves behind the scenes to advance herself, with people only realizing that she's a threat when it's already too late.

What would their go to strategy be in the game?: As mentioned above, Patrice hopes to play a very behind-the-scenes game. She plans to get into a good alliance early on and make strategic moves to advance herself, while flying under the radar.

'''Who would their family visitor be? (please include a name): Patrice's best friend and fellow Paranormal Investigator, Julie-Anne McKenney.'''

Give me a confessional from them so I can have an idea of how they talk: "I believe that people are going to underestimate out here because I'm that crazy lady that runs around looking for ghosts for a living! (Laughs) Whatever though, maybe that does make me a little bit crazy, but I've always been a history buff and had a fascination with the macabre. Honestly, I see that as a huge advantage for me because I highly doubt that people are going to see me as a lethal strategist... until it's far too late, that is! (Giggles)"
