Name (Age): Tiara Vasquez (25)

Tribe Designation: ?

Current Residence: Pleasantview, CA

Occupation:  Environmental Lobbyist

Personal Claim to Fame: Taking my own path to success, and working for an organization I love and support, helping save the environment means much more to me than fame and fortune.

Inspiration in Life: I can't say one single person inspires me, I think I find most of my inspiration within myself, but I'm not conceited enough to say I'm my own inspiration, does that make sense?

Hobbies: Reading, Sweatpants, Naps at Home, & Fighting for what I believe in.

'''If You Could Have Three Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why? '''My Books - To help relax and motivate me when I'm bored, Pajamas - they're so warm, and comfortable. and hot tea - to make mornings a bit easier.

Pet Peeves: Wannabee Models, Actors, and Performers, Uneducated & Ignorant people, and bad grammar.

Three Words to Describe You: Driven, Passive-Aggressive, and Calculated.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Peih-Gee Law, she was smart, confident, and even when she was slightly off putting knew what she believed in and she fought to the very end. While I don't envision myself as a leader as she did, we're both very calculated players who know how to maneuver ourselves deep into the game.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: To beat my sister at her own game, both her previous placing and this time around! That's bragging rights for life in the Vasquez family!

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: At first glance I may seem quiet, but I have dealt with a family of models and actors who are very self absorbed and sneaky for years, and I've managed to survive all of that. The only people more calculated than show people are the one's who have to deal with them. I work everyday fighting for what I believe in and coming up with ways to help further the causes I believe in. Politicking isn't new to me, and neither is dealing with crazy, cutthroat people. I know I can do this.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Because I'm the perfect balance between competitive and relaxed, I know how to campaign for myself, without getting noticed by others. The difference between my sister and I is every move she'll make will be flashy and for the cameras, but I'm planning on making subtle moves so I can progress in the game. I know myself, I know how and when to stay quiet, and more importantly I know when to speak up. I know I can win this game.

A character description (50-word minimum): Tiara is the sister of Moira Vasquez from Survivor: Culture Clash. Tiara comes from a family of actors and actresses, but instead of pursuing that, Tiara has chosen to take a more academic career. For much of her life Tiara has always been overshadowed by her sister Moira. Tiara was a life long fan of Survivor, and was disappointed when her sister was casted when her agent found a connection and failed miserably at the game. Tiara wants to use this opportunity to prove to her family she is capable of doing anything her sister can do better.
