Name, Hometown, Age: Clarette Umbry (26), from New York, New York

Current Occupation: Fashion Designer

Background (You can add personal stories, claim to fames, or any other information that gives an insight to your character's personal life):

Clarette grew up in a rich family; her mother was a famous instrumentalist that had a large inheritance, and her father was a successful businessman. She and her six siblings grew up in the lap of luxury, and she got elite schooling and a pampered childhood. She was always the most popular girl, and was skilled at gossip and manipulation.

However, when she graduated college with a degree in design, her parents gave her little money to support herself, wanting to have her learn how to fend for herself and to humble her. Clarette struggled at first but once she landed a job at a design firm, she soon was on her feet and taking care of herself. She has her parents large bank account to help her if she ever falls into hard times, but she has learned to provide for herself over the past few years.

Clarette works for a popular fashion designer and is designing her own line. She wants to be on Survivor to spread awareness for her line, but also to challenge herself, get the money to boost her brand, and prove that she's really independent. She's currently single.

Hobbies: Drawing, going out with friends, gossiping, playing piano

Pet Peeves: Complainers and quitters. They need to take stock of their lives and change it if they hate it!

3 Words to Describe You: Creative, Manipulative, Flirty

Why You Think You Will Win SURVIVOR (Please share the strategy that your character will use in the game):

"I know how to gossip and manipulate; it's an essential skill to be at the top of the social hierarchy in school. I plan to use those skills out on Survivor. I am going to be that person everyone comes to complain or confess to by putting on my nice face and talking to everyone on my tribe. Once I'm armored with information, I'll begin the hell wrecking. I'll start dropping seeds here and there, gradually stirring up drama until people are at each other's throats and I can sit back and laugh. Each time the tribes swap or merge, I'll sit back for a day or two and find out things about my tribemates, and then stir up drama once more. It'll keep the target off of me, and once I get to Final Tribal Council I can show everyone that I was the one that caused them all to hate each other, and that allowed me to get there unscathed and never being in danger. I don't think I'm going to be underestimated; I'm fit, but I'm no challenge beast, nor any strategic wonder. But I do know how to stir up drama and pit people against one another, and I'm going to use that skill to win this game. Who knew that being a bitch in school could actually help you in real life?"
