Cydni's Profile
​Name (Age): Cydni Usha (34)

​Hometown: Berea, Kentucky

​Occupation: Gardener

​Claim to Fame: I really don't have anything that makes me famous hun, I tend to just life my life to the fullest like everyone else in this world so I'm not that special. If I had to say one thing I would probably just say help people with their gardens I guess, I'm not the best, but I know I'm not the worst gardener out there.

​Inspiration in Life: My mother is definitely my biggest inspiration, she showed me everything I needed to know about life, and taught me how to be myself and not change for anyone. I'm a free-spirit and no one can hold me down, plus she was also there when I went through the phases of my teenager life... she will never forget my goth faze.

​Hobbies: Hanging out in the park with my boyfriend and my other friends, I'm also a dancer so I tend to dance whenever I go even when there is no music playing. Of course I love to garden or else I wouldn't be a garden, I have a nice collection of flowers and items I have grown in my back yard. I think just anything that causes me to have fun is what's important to me you know?

​Pet Peeves: When people disrespect nature, like I get it if you use it to help you survive and I'm fine with that but like killing animals when you have plenty of plants and stuff around you for a reason? It does annoy me a bit, and I'm going to go all psycho vegetarian on you however I do get a little annoyed when people try to sacrifice the animals over literally anything else they could eat.

If You Could Have Three Things on the Island, What Would They Be and Why: I think my first item would probably be some vegetable seed packets, I'm sure there is a small outcropping in the forest that I can plant and raise some vegetables. They may not be ready by the time I get voted out or the game ends, but I at least provided for future animals, and maybe even contestants. I'd bring a fan to cool me down when the weather gets too hot since I tend to heat up really fast, I haven't overheated yet since I know ways to contain my body temperature like a drink of water or stuff like that, but it's still difficult.

​SURVIVOR Contestant You are Most Like: Tai easily, he and I enjoy being open people who can play a game. One of my favorite moments is when he refused the super idol to Scot, and just ultimately switched to the good side. It's plays like that make me have hope for humanity because Tai must have knew how terrible the other side must have been, so he decided to make things right!

​Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I want to take on this brand new experience, and to take a break from life to enjoy it. Survivor is by no means a vacation but if you treat it like one you will have the time of your life instead of stressing all the time. Whether I be first boot or the winner I would just be happy that I got to play with everyone.

Why You Will "Survive" SURVIVOR: I think I have plenty of expertise regarding how to live off the land, and I can help with whatever project they assign me in my tribe. With that in mind I could easily fit it with the hard-workers but I'm not going to criticize the lazy people as that causes a divide so I'm willing to talk to them, and get to know them as well so they don't see me as a hard-headed person. Honestly I think my skills of conflict resolution could help me in a way in order to survive, and if I stay around people can be more positive.

​Why You Believe You Will Become the Sole SURVIVOR: I tend to be a positive person all around, I tend to try to make people happy which will hopefully bring me far, I'm not the strongest person but I'm not the weakest, so I have that going for me. I hope my social game can propel forward since I'd like to get to know everyone no matter where they come from or who they are.

 * Rate you castway's strategic, physical and social game out of 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best. Provide a reason why you chose the numbers.

Strategic: I would say she's a middle of the road 5 just because she does things that make people happy. She tells people what they want instead of what they need to so she doesn't get into conflict. She doesn't have any ill will and she isn't lying to them to them per say, but she focuses more on avoiding conflict instead of actually playing the game but she does have some sense of a strategic awareness with her position in the game and who would she need to talk to to get votes.

Physical: Her physical game is a 6, she definitely isn't a weak older lady, but she isn't super strong. She is 100% the best with puzzles because she can't really carry a bunch of heavy objects at once. However she does have some muscle because she's outside and she has to pull weeds, and she dances a lot as she said in her profile so I'd say she's fit enough to pull her own weight but that's probably the most of what she can do physically.

Social: Her social game is an 8, and it's her best stat by far. She is an introverted people person, and she loves to talk to people and get to know them and just become friends with everyone. She always tries to stay positive about a lot of things, and she tries to keep others positive as she personality kinda feeds off other positive energies if that makes sense. She's an easy person to get along with, but it can be frustrating to get her to have an opinion on things because she's always neutral.


 * What could cause your castaway to win?

I think there a few key ways Cydni could win, first is that her social game gets to the end and that the jury is bitter that the other individuals there. However Cydni does a great job at final tribal council, and even though she doesn't make flashy moves, the jury respects her enough to give her the win. I could also see Cydni playing very middle of the pack the entire time, and always finding that swing vote position where she takes out the competitor she believes causes the most problems for her game. I could also see her betraying some people because she aligns with people not alliances, so she could make some crucial moves at moments.


 * What could cause your castaway to lose?

Her way to lose is that people could see her as useless when it comes to strategy as she really has no strategy and she isn't really competitive, so they could just boot her for being a liability. They also could boot her as a flip side to the her riding the middle sort of thing. People could see her as too wishy washy and send her out for being obviously in the middle this entire time. If she makes FTC she could easily lose against a person she aligned with that made a lot of decisions on who to boot. So she could easily be just a sheep that really had no say in the game and that she would just be cast off in the jury. She can also be a tad emotion when it comes to animals, and if an animal dies she will be upset which her tribe could see her as a liability.


 * What kind of castaways would your castaways align with? 

She would always go for the polite, gentleman or gentlewoman characters that seem nice and that are always going to be nice even in the worst of situations. She could also bond with people who share interest in vegetarianism as she is a full vegetarian, and use that as a way in. Like even farmers or butchers who slaughter meat for a living, she's fine with aligning with them if they're at least decent people but she wouldn't align with those types of people the whole game.


 * What kind of characters would your castaways avoid or be enemies with?

Like I said she tries to keep conflict a low so she is a silent hater, and most of the time she isn't the fan of the spoiled rich kids, or the bitches for no reason types. She also isn't a fan of the alpha male types, like she can try to get along with them but if anyone in the game is a cause of drama, she votes them out because she is not dealing with a dramatic game and she's going to try her hardest to get rid of any drama and drama makers.


 * Please provide a small paragraph of backstory.

She did grow up on a farm so she knows first hand how to hurt an animal, however she turned vegetarian as a teenager when she saw the family dog accidentally walk into the slaughter house and never return. She doesn't know what exactly happened in there but she assumed the worst at family dinner so she swore that she would never eat meat again. Throughout her life she went through different phases as well and so she has embarrassing stories of her valley girl phase, her goth phase, and even her rebellious phase which has some of her favorite stories. Overall she was having some issues finding herself but what truly stayed true to her was how she enjoyed growing food on the farm, and how she enjoyed her life without meat so she kinda became a total hippie during college, and now she's the happiest she's ever been. She's even met a guy at a local farmer's market and they've been dating for about 7 years now.


 * Do you consent to having your manga altered (such as natural hair shades, eye colours, custom clothing/face details) if your castaway is cast? (under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will this impact your character's chances of being cast) Yea sure edit that manga :p
