Name (First and Last): Trixie Jiminez

Age: 25

Hometown: Las Cruces, New Mexico

Occupation: Tattoo Artist

Tell me about their personality: Trixie is a very... unique person, to say the least, something that she takes a lot of pride in. She's extremely outgoing and people describe her as being the life of the party. She tends to get along with most types of people, although she hates it when people judge others before getting to know them. Trixie is a very social person, which is one of the reasons that she loves being a tattoo artist as she gets to meet people from all walks of life and make her impact on them by inking a piece of art into their skin that usually has some sort of significant meaning. Despite being the second youngest artist at the shop she works at (there are 5 artists there total), Trixie's bright personality and amazing talent make her the shop's most requested artist, and she takes pride in the fact that all of her clients thus far have left the shop happy.

Tell me about their backstory (Sorry if this is a bit long): Trixie was born in Las Cruses, New Mexico and has 4 older siblings: Tyson (who is now 34), Victoria (who is now 32), Damien (who is now 30), and Charlene (who is now 27). Her family has always been very close, and Trixie claims that she has been the "class clown" her entire life. Although Trixie always tried as hard as she could to be social, she also knew that she was always quite unique and has a weird sense of humour. As a child, Trixie experienced bullying quite a bit, and as such, expressed herself through art (specifically drawing and painting). It wasn't until high school that Trixie finally found a group of friends that she felt like she fit in with and could always be herself around. When Trixie was 17, she came out as a lesbian, first to her sister, Charlene, who was very proud of her. Charlene then helped Trixie gain the confidence to come out to the rest of her family, which she did a week later. Although Trixie was worried about how they'd react, she was pleasantly surprised when she was met with love and acceptance from her family and is proud to say that they are still as close as ever.

When Trixie finished high school, she attended the University of New Mexico, hoping to get a degree in anthropology. However, she soon realized that university just wasn't for her and didn't go back after the first year. Trixie then decided to pursue her passion for art and she began an apprenticeship with an experienced artist at the shop she now works at full time. Soon after Trixie began working at the shop as a full time artist, she met her now girlfriend, Ursula, who was a client of hers. The two hit it off right away and after Ursula's first appointment, she decided that she wanted Trixie to cover up her ex-girlfriend's initials on her shoulder, so she booked another appointment with Trixie and that's when the two realized that they were both lesbians, which led to Ursula asking Trixie to go on a date, and the rest (as they say) is history.

Trixie prides herself with being able to do well with all types of tattoos, but her favourites are portraits and cover-ups because not only are they the most challenging, but she loves hearing people tell their stories about the family member or friend that they're asking Trixie to tattoo on them, as well as the stories about why they want a certain tattoo covered up and replaced with a new piece of art.

Are they more strategic, Social, or physical and why?: Social without a doubt. Although Trixie won't necessarily be weak in challenges, and although she does plan to be strategic, Trixie's biggest asset going into the game is her bright (albeit unique) personality and quirky sense of humour that allow her to get along well with most types of people.

What would their go to strategy be in the game?: Although Trixie knows that she's going to stand out, she hopes to lay low strategically for a little while and form a solid alliance with people that she can trust, while building social relationships with people on her tribe. From there, she just plans on keeping her eyes and ears open, and making moves to advance herself in the game when the timing is right. From there, she hopes to get to the end and that her social game-play and her relationships with the jurors will give her the win.

'''Who would their family visitor be? (please include a name): Trixie's sister, Charlene Valdez''' due to their close relationship and helping her come out to her family (Charlene is now married and takes her husband's last name).

Give me a confessional from them so I can have an idea of how they talk: "Like oh my freaking gosh! I honestly can't freaking believe that I'm here! I'm a huge Survivor fan, so this is like, such an out of body experience for me right now. I definitely think I'm gonna be underestimated out here 'cause they'll see me as the "weird chick", as it were. But trust me, I'm much smarter than I look, so these people need to watch out if they know what's good for them! (Chuckles)"
