Name (Age): Michele Costello (25)

Current Residence: New York City, NY

Occupation: Runway Model

Claim to Fame: Getting paid to look as good as I do. My job is to basically show off all the latest fashion trends in New York from all the most famous designers and I get paid $1000 each time. It's the best job in the world.

Hobbies: Taking bathroom selfies with my girlfriends, jogging, shopping.

Pet Peeves: Anyone who calls me a spoiled princess. Just because my line of work is to look as good as I do doesn't mean I haven't experienced hard work. I picked up trash for two hours during high school to complete some stupid extra-curricular work. That just shows I know what hard work is.

If You Could Have Three Things on the Island, What Would They Be and Why: My iPhone to keep up on everything going on back home through Twitter, my makeup kit and my hair brush. My hair is my most prized possession so I need to keep it as good as possible.

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like (can be my fanon or canon): Isla from Bermuda. I think she got a really bad rep during her season. Plus she was extremely stylish and I respect that in a woman.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I feel like it's an opportunity to further my career. I'm already doing very well but why waste a chance to go that extra step and really push myself further to be at the very top.

Why You Will "Survive" SURVIVOR: I'm not an outdoorsy person. I own a two floor luxury apartment, why would I sleep in the woods when I got a bed with a built in warmer? But I am resilient because you have to be in my line of work so that will be my advantage.

Why You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I'm not the dumb model everyone thinks I am. Believe it or not, I graduated at the top of my class in high school, valedictorian and all. So I think it will surprise everyone and get me some respect when I am at the end.

Manga:

'''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.:''' Socially, Michele is a 4. She comes off very pompous and spoiled towards those around her by just her body language alone. She's unable to read a room and lacks a ton of self awareness. However, strategically she is a 7. This is surprising but Michele does have ways to get what she wants. She knows how to manipulate and is an excellent flirt with both men and women. Physically she's a 3. She is not someone who will get down and dirty to get a win and will refuse to participate in any challenge that is physical.

What could cause your castaway to win?: If Michele were to win, it would only be because she is a lot smarter than she appears. She will surprise the other 17 with how she is able to really control a situation and how she is able to get what she wants.

What could cause your castaway to lose?: Quite simply, her personality. She's very stuck up and can be condescending. She will disagree with you whole heartily but is very much a spoiled princess. This could get her kicked off before a swap or get her taken to the end as a possible goat but her personality could possibly be her downfall.

What kind of castaways would your castaways align with?; The cute guys and the pretty girls. Michele is vain so she will only work with people that are up to her standards in terms of how they look.

What kind of characters would your castaways avoid or be enemies with?: Pretty much everyone else but mostly anyone older. She dislikes being told what to do very much and has gotten in arguments with photographers, agents, etc all because they were old and trying to tell her what to do.

Please provide a small paragraph of backstory.: Michele grew up extremely rich and really only HAS that apartment because of her father's money. Her dad runs a fashion empire in New York and helped her get where she is now. In high school, she was the queen bee and her dad bought her all the best tutors to help her succeed. Michele has never heard the word no in her life as her dad got her anything she wanted. At the age of eighteen, she participated in her first runway show and has been addicted it it ever since.

Do you consent to having your manga altered (such as natural hair shades, eye colours, custom clothing/face details) if your castaway is cast?: Sure
