Name (Age): Ino Fukyawa (29)

Current Residence: Huntington, New York

Occupation: Fashion Designer

BIO

Born to American dad and Japanese mom, Ino always was interested in designing. Ino realized very early that she is a lesbian. Not sharing much personal information with everyone else, Ino was anti-social her whole school life, she took interest into drawing clothes. This was the first inspiration for her to become a fashion designer. As Ino grew up she became more and more confident and she always stands up for what she believes in. When Ino finished the University, she quickly started with designing and it quickly became her passion. Now, Ino has designed clothes for celebrities and she prides herself for getting from zero the where she is now.

Strategy

Ino knows that she will struggle to form relationship early and she hopes to find a way to survive different way than by forming relationship. Knowing that the most important part of Survivor is fire, Ino has tried multiple times to make fire and hopes that this skill set will help her to stay for few more days. Wanting to play the “anybody but me” strategy, Ino is slightly worried that she might come across as a bitch but at the end, she doesn’t care as she wants to win the title of Sole Survivor and is willing to do anything for it.

(please be aware there may be some somewhat triggering topics in here regarding abuse, just writing this as a warning)

Name (Age): Chavela Fischer (48)

Hometown: Duncanville, TX

Occupation: Pharmacy Technician

Personal Claim to Fame: Living through and escaping an abusive relationship with my son. I met Hank in '92, and we got married within a year, then had Bryan right around '94. I was young and naive and very, um, in love with this man. Was, being the keyword. I knew he had some trouble with alcohol in his past, but as far as I was aware, he was past it. A little bit after Bryan was born, though, we were a little more in trouble financially than we had been and he started drinking again. We got in more fights, and everything started to spiral. I tried to salvage our family, but it just didn't happen. The night he hit me I knew we had to get out. So, as the abuse continued I got my affairs settled, rented a house in the town over and vanished. Hank and I were divorced a year later. After my dad died and my mom couldn't walk well enough to support herself, Bryan and I moved in and that's how it's been ever since. I'm lucky enough to have married a much better man, and the four of us have some differences now and then but overall, we're much happier.

Inspiration in Life: My parents. Both of them served in the navy for many years, which is actually where they met. They didn't have a whole lot of money, but they had a community and family that was always there for them, just like they were always there for their family and community as well. Also, no matter what happened to them or whatever their financial situation was, they were always there for my brothers and me. They raised us to be good, strong, self-sustaining people and that's exactly who we are as a family and who I am as a person.

Pet Peeves: Disloyal, or otherwise wishy-washy people. If people want to screw me over and change their minds on whether or not they want to be my ally, they might as well just stay out of my way. Also, people who just sort of crack under pressure. It sounds harsh, but if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. Life is intense and can be very unforgiving. Survivor is the same way. You want to be mopey and sad and self-pitying? Go for it. Just don't be that way around me, I have things to get done and people that need to be supported. Now, with that said, if someone is at a point where they are drowning in some way and I feel obligated to help them out, I am there with a hand they can grasp on to.

3 Words to Describe You: Strong, Honest, Supportive

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: The money. The fact of the matter is that my mom can't work, my son barely works, and my husband and I are paid barely enough as it is. (If my employer sees this and is unhappy with how I phrased that, they can go ahead and raise my salary to hear an answer they'd prefer) I need the cash in a very bad way, and if push comes to shove, I will knock down whoever I have to so I can support my family.

Why Do You Think You Will Win SURVIVOR?: I am a strong person, incredibly loyal, and even though I have a tough shell, I swear my heart is not made of ice. I'm willing to play whatever role I need to in order to make it another three days in the game. On top of this, I'm a planner and I'm in no way an inactive person. I'm constantly on my feet and on the go, running marathons (I do a yearly marathon for charity through my church), planning and cooking meals, being a group leader at my church, among other things. I think being quick on my feet, as well as in my head will help me out in this game.

More About Chavela: Chavela is a person who, despite constantly seeking the next paycheck and path to keep her family above water financially, carries a sense of pride and inner strength that refuses to let her grovel for anything. This makes it hard for her to accept help from others, even if she is very willing to give that help back to those who really need support. This, on top of her trust issues from her first marriage and stubborn nature, has built up a shell that can make Chavela come off as stuck-up or arrogant before you get to know her. She also is the type of person that tends to hold in her beliefs with people she is not as comfortable around. So, when people anger her and make her upset, she will tend to bury these feelings inside until they boil over into passive-aggressive comments. In regards to camp life, the elements, or surviving the game, Chavela has an incredibly strong work ethic and is no complainer. She will fight very hard to make sure the shelter is well done and, if put in the position of needing to scramble and work for votes, would push very hard to stay in the game.

Name (Age): Rianne Fontaine (30)

Hometown: Billings, Montana

Occupation: Lakota Language Instructor

About Rianne: Rianne was born on a Sioux Reservation in Montana. As such, ever since she was little, she grew up learning the Sioux language (Lakota), traditions, and how to live off of the land. When Rianne became old enough to go to college, she chose to move and study in the city at Montana State University in Billings because there were many more opportunities for her than she would have had if she remained on her home Reservation.

Wanting to become a teacher, Rianne got her diploma in education. Once she finished student teaching, she became a math teacher at a middle school. However, besides teaching, there was one other thing that Rianne was passionate about, her Sioux heritage.

By law, both sets of Rianne's grandparents were forced to attend Residential Schools off reserve as the American Government was trying to force the Indigenous Peoples to assimilate with the British culture by stripping them of their native language and traditions. Since the Residential Schools closed down, Rianne was lucky to have still been able to learn the Sioux culture and traditions, and she realizes this. As such, she is passionate advocate for the restoration of Sioux language and culture in society, as well as recognition and reconciliation for Indigenous peoples given the harms that they've suffered through traumatic events such as the Residential School System. As part of her efforts, since Rianne is bilingual (fluent in English and Lakota), she got a job teaching the Sioux language (Lakota) to students on top of the work that she does with advocacy groups for Indigenous Peoples.

Strategy: Rianne feels as though she has an advantage over most other castaways as she grew up on a Native American Reservation, and as such, knows a lot about living off of the land. She plans to exploit that as much as possible by being a huge asset to her tribe around camp.

When it comes to dealing with her fellow castaways, Rianne considers herself to be an observer and a good listener. She doesn't talk much in big group settings, but plans to be someone that people can come to and confide in. She also believes that her time as a teacher has given her a lot of patience when it comes to dealing with people, which is something she believes will help her a lot. When it comes to the game, Rianne would like to fly under the radar as much as she can, observe what's going on, and only make waves when she feels it's absolutely necessary. Rianne also will absolutely refuse to give up no matter what, so if she knows she's in the minority, or worse, possibly going home, she will fight tooth and nail to stay in the game.

Even though Rianne doesn't talk much in big group settings, she is aware that she had a tendency to talk to herself when she's alone. As such, if she does happen to be alone and "thinking out loud" to herself, she knows to do it in Lakota in case she accidentally lets something slip that she shouldn't just in case other people happen to be in ear-shot.

When it comes to challenges, Rianne won't exactly be a challenge beast, but she is strong enough that she can hold her own when competing in challenges. Since she refuses to give up, she would do really well at any challenge involving will-power, and she would also shine at puzzles.

Anything Else: Rianne is 5'7 and has a bit of a stocky build.

Name: Nelson Taylor (61) Tribe Designation: TBA Current Residence: Brooklyn, NY Occupation: CEO Personal Claim to Fame: Taking charge and being the chief executive of a top of the line automobile company for over 20 years now. It'd be an understatement to say that this job definitely put the gray in my hair, but I lead with purpose and don't take bulls**t from anybody. It's tough sure but that's just how it goes in this world. Wouldn't have it any other way. Inspiration in Life: With the corporate world being as cutthroat and chaotic as it is, I can't look to anyone for inspiration aside from myself. I am my own role model to look to and I don't compare myself to anyone in my field. You don't maintain power and control by looking for inspiration in your enemies, after all! Hobbies: Reading, Playing Poker, Watching Survivor, Traveling, and Avoiding my Children. Pet Peeves: Unproductive people who goof off and don't know how to work efficiently, people who lack common sense, small talk, dumb questions, teenage drivers, and people who make it a lifestyle to "live" at the beach. 3 Words to Describe You: Cold, Calculated, Commanding SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: As I said before, I don't compare myself to others. I came out here because I wanted to make my mark on a game that I've loved watching since it first aired. I will lie, scheme, steal, and play as Nelson and nobody else. Just Nelson. Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Being a fan of the game, I thought that this might be my last shot to get on before I enter into my retirement years. I want to have one more good experience in my life before going from the constant chaos of corporate life to the boring, drawn-out, days of retirement. What better experience to have than playing, and hopefully winning, Survivor? Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: Even in my cushy life, you don't get to be my age and my career field without having some drive and determination. I know that I'm gonna be hungry and tired out here. I know that it's gonna rain a lot. I came out here for one reason and that was to play hard and win so I'm not about to let any of that get in my way. Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: From the very beginning, I know that I will have a target on my back because of my age. That's something that is unavoidable at this point, but I've taken it into account. I plan on doing whatever it takes to get the target off me and onto someone else in the early days. I don't care how cruel or twisted I have to be, I'll do it and I'll do it well. Once I get to the merge, then I can start to expand my horizons and play the game that I truly want to play. I won't be pulling any punches, I'm not going to be bogged down by cautiousness, I am playing the game to win and it will be that way until either my torch is snuffed or Jeff hands me my check for a million dollars.
