Zuri Abimbola

Zuri Abimbola the Assassin Academy head cheerleader, class president, and robotics club founder, is the 5th placer of Cycle 2 of Ballyhoo's Next Top Model. She is well known for her relationship with Cycle 1 contestant Nora Orburos and her redeeming the Assassin Academy name a little bit with a strong run in the competition.
== Personality/Background==
Zuri is an orphan who was recruited young to the Assassin Academy. Always wanting to prove herself worthy of love, she is an extreme overachiever. She takes way too many things on her plate at once. Zuri can never do enough for others and is always making sure that she shows how valuable she is. What Zuri does not realize is that she's well beyond proved this to her girlfriend Nora, the students/staff at Assassin Academy, and any audience. Unfortunately, she is still stuck in the mental state of trying to prove value to people who already see it and wish she would too.
== Cycle 2 ==
Zuri had a great run on Cycle 2. She tried very hard as always, consistently placing in the top during the first half of the cycle. However, when Zuri wasn't able to win any FCOs, she got in her own head, criticizing and attacking herself for not being able to do so, and desperately strategizing in an attempt to get it. This self-crisis was made even worse by Dr. Quintessa Quacks, who abused her position as therapist to manipulate Zuri and lead her into worse strategic decisions. Zuri tried too hard with her photos in the 2nd half of the competition, resulting in pictures that just came off as stale, "safe", and not showing off her personality like her early photos did. Due to this, Zuri left the competition in 5th with no FCOs despite a really lovely run where she made a lot of close friends who continue to encourage her and help her feel better about her run to this day.
