Faulina Down

Faulina Down competed on Season 7 of Love Desert. She is known for echoing the aesthetic of her mother Cannie, and for the rivalry between her and Nanita.
==Background==
Faulina was created as a genetic combination between J'Betta and Cannie, two icons whom competed on both Season 4 and All-Stars 2. Following All-Stars 2, the two of them created Faulina, and she was inducted into the House of Cee. She is also related to the House of Vogue, though she doesn't go out of her way to identify as a Vogue. Although Faulina's creation came shortly before Season 6, the host decided not to bring her to the casting special and instead hold back until the next season.
===Competing on Season 7===
Faulina was enjoyed by the judges from early in the season. She made it through the casting special as the 11th choice of 16, and nobody was against her inclusion.
Faulina didn't make a splash for the first two episodes, coupling up with Marci based on friendship both episodes. On episode 3 came Hoyt Surfdude's return to the competition, and he established a romance with Faulina, so they became a hot new couple. To award Hoyt's grafting and recognise his chemistry with Faulina, the two of them won the episode 3 vote in a tie with Skyretha.
With the episode 4-6 villa split came a pivotal moment for Faulina. Although she flew completely under the radar during her villa half's episode, she secretly had developed a strong romance during episode 6 with She They, a new bombshell that was pitted to 100% couple up with Nanita Valentita at episode 6's big recoupling. Come the big recoupling, Faulina chooses She They as her #1 choice, and the feeling is mutual! Faulina dumps Hoyt and She They dumps Nanita, becoming a shock couple just as the second half of the season begins.
From here all the way to the episode 10 finale, Faulina and She They's romance is central to the plot of the season. At every recoupling, it's unclear whether Nanita and She They have reconciled romantically, only for Faulina and She They's romantic bond to stand unwavering. On episode 8, Nanita is finally sent home, and on episode 9, Shetheyna are finally given a vote win for being such a committed couple through the drama.
At the finale, it was an absolute toss-up between underdogs Faulina/She They and frontrunners Priya/Angel as to who would win the crown. By a one-point margin, Priya and Angel snatched the crown, while Faulina and She They were eliminated in a very respectable third place.

== Trivia ==
* Faulina Down's name was given to her by creator Hannah.
*Faulina is the first 4th-generation member of the House of Vogue (the generation after J'Betta), therefore Karyena Vogue is technically her great-grandmother figure (and Season 4 contestant Stella Ware is a grandmother figure).
