Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? Tony and Jane are my favorite players, but my game is my own. I'm going out there and playing like me!
What will you value in an alliance partner? Obviously loyalty and honesty, but also just someone who is fun to play the game with.
Favorite Hobbies: Working out, traveling, reading, creating content.
Pet Peeves: When people don't use headphones in public and blast their phones on full volume.

Survivor
Beginning the game on Civa, Charity made an early attempt to put a target on Kyle Fraser, thinking he received an advantage from the Fight for Supplies challenge. However, Kamilla Karthigesu alerted Kyle to this development, leading to Charity being largely ostracized from the tribe's dynamic. Despite eventually finding an ally in Mitch Guerra, Charity's reputation continued to alienate her tribemates and little changed within the tribe's structure in spite of her efforts. Fortunately, Civa avoided Tribal Council for the first seven days, keeping Charity safe from Tribal Council.
After the Day 8 tribe switch, Charity was swapped to Lagi, alongside David Kinne. David was quick to offer Charity up as a potential target for elimination, but Lagi won all the remaining tribal Immunity Challenges, sparing her once again. After the tribes dissolved, Charity remained an outsider to the new Strong Five alliance, unknowingly drawing their ire after she suggested voting out Eva Erickson for her numerous advantages. Upon realizing there was little interest from the others in eliminating Eva, Charity switched her target to Saiounia Hughley, the next most disliked player remaining. However, Charity was deemed by the majority as too untrustworthy to continue and was voted out in a 7-5-1 split vote between herself and Saiounia.
