Kira

Kira is the winner of Social Experiment III: Last Wish.
Kira entered Social Experiment III determined to be authentic and true to herself, even though deceiving others was encouraged in the initial phase.

This lead her to become part of the Fantastic Five alliance. However, when Jo - a Fantastic Five member - orchestrated Kira's visit to The Pit, she returned like a phoenix from the ashes and forged new key alliances. Despite facing some obstacles in the endgame like losing her voting rights and being targeted due to her threat level, Kira's social game and strategic decisions propelled her to the final three.

Please take the time and effort to give us a couple sentences to a paragraph about your personality!
My personality is that I'm very kind and considerate of others. I love to get to know others and keep those around me in mind. I'm definitely a Hufflepuff through and through. I enjoy talking to others and can be competitive in that I enjoy doing well even if I don't do the best!
What's a flaw that you have when playing in ORGs, and how do you plan to improve it or adapt your gameplay?
A flaw I have is that of competition and sometimes being too trusting. I can give too much information of what I know to people because I thought I could trust them. Thus, I will go about fixing this by really getting a good reading on people and trusting my gut instead of my heart. Along with this, I won't be sharing all the information I have at once. In terms of competition, it just takes a lot of practice and knowing what I'm good at, thus that's why I keep going!
Social Experiment III is experimenting (😉) this season by doing all social challenges. How do you plan to navigate this?
Oooooh I love this! I definitely love talking to people and social is normally what I use the most in games. Through this, I will try getting to know everyone and building some kind of relationship. I've noticed with just my natural self, many people say I'm kind and welcoming so I hope I can use that to my advantage!
Good confessionals is something very important that the hosts look for. How do you do your confessionals - as something happens, or at the end of the day/episode? Do you prefer text or video confessionals?
I do it as something happens and try to post at least once a day. In another org, I did an interview format that people really enjoyed so I think I'll bring that here! I prefer text confessionals just because it's easier for me to write out my thoughts sometimes than to speak them, ADHD brain am I right 🤣

When coming into Social Experiment III, Kira knew that she wanted to play authentically and be herself. During the initial phase, players were encouraged to deceive others by concealing their assigned emoji. Kira knew that this was not her forte, however, she was able to rely on her alliance with Ben and Hunter to survive. Furthermore, her connection with Ben, who was designated the full moon emoji, enabled her to infer that both Dragon and Pom Pom had lied about having the full moon emoji themselves. This led to Pom Pom being sent to The Pit. However, as the emojis were never officially revealed, this lead her to be suspicious of Ben as well, despite him telling the truth. The second phase was smooth sailing as, despite Kira’s loss in the Majority Rules challenge, there was a clean 16-1 vote on Stardom.
In the subsequent phase, players formed duos to avoid being eliminated as the leftover player. Luckily, Kira had taken the time to work on her relationships, most notably Linda, Moop, and Ricardo. She formed a close personal bond with Moop, over Kira’s occupation as a teacher for children with autism, however, she ultimately paired up with Ricardo as he was hosting Kira in another ORG. Unluckily, Linda brought Pom Pom back from The Pit, but this did not pose an immediate threat to Kira. Hunter was ultimately the leftover player sent to The Pit, due to his commitment to his exams instead, and Kira’s initial Phase 1 alliance was no more.
In Phase 4, the players created trust rankings to determine two team leaders, who would then engage in a schoolyard pick to select their team members. Fortunately for Kira, she found herself aligned with Rod, the team leader for Nouvelle Lune, as she had grown closer to him after drifting away from her initial alliance with Ben. This phase brought mixed emotions for Kira since she fortunately ended up on a team with Ricardo and Moop, while Moop's closest ally Susi was eliminated in the schoolyard pick. As a result, Moop began confiding in Kira more. Unfortunately, Hunter's journey in The Pit came to an end as he was voted out of the game for good.
Kira's value and contributions became clearer in the following phases, particularly as a strong provider for the Nouvelle Lune team. Firstly, her active participation played a crucial role in her team's victory in the Icebreaker challenge, highlighting her as a valuable player. Therefore, her social standing within the team began to rise, particularly among Jo, Rod, and Sparky. Moving on to Phase 6, the team faced a Team Design challenge that required cooperation. Kira took charge and organized a zodiac-themed PowerPoint, requesting everyone's zodiac sign and how they related to it. This approach helped her strengthen her relationships with her teammates. Showing her dedication to teamwork, Kira remained loyal to her team during Phase 7's mutiny. She became part of the Fantastic Five alliance, joining forces with her newfound allies Jo, Rod, Sparky, and Ricardo. Recognizing the importance of having the majority, Kira encouraged Linda to switch over to Nouvelle Lune, securing their advantage. In the end, the majority settled on voting out Ben due to his lack of involvement in team challenges. While this decision pained Kira due to her alliance with Ben from Phase 1, she prioritized keeping active players in the game. Ben gave Kira his Last Wish and Invisible Token on his way to The Pit, adding up to a total of 3 Invisible Tokens thanks to her challenge participation.
During The Invisible Phase, which marked the midpoint of the game and the end of the team phase, Kira made a strategic decision to keep her Invisible Tokens instead of using them to bring back a player from The Pit. In the Phase 9 round, where players were required to rank each other using stars from 5 to 1, Pom Pom intended to rank Kira low due to a perception of her inactivity, despite Kira's contributions during the team phases. Jo, seeking to manipulate the situation to her advantage, informed Kira about Pom Pom's plans but also leaked the fact that Kira was aware of it back to Pom Pom, attempting to enhance her standing with both players. However, this scheme failed, and Kira's strong social game worked in her favour, resulting in Pom Pom receiving an average rating of 1.66★ and visiting The Pit for the second time. Unfortunately, Pom Pom bestowed upon Kira their Last Wish, which turned out to be a Bad Wish, causing Kira to lose her voting rights in the subsequent phase. However, this was balanced out by Ben’s Last Wish allowing Kira to get four Invisible Tokens from her high ranking.
The events of Phase 10 caught Kira off guard. Despite her perception that Luke and Ushi would be the ones targeted, the reality turned out to be quite different. Surprisingly, both Kira and Jason found themselves in the line of fire due to Luke's purchase of a Ceremonial Crown (immunity), which was courtesy of Invisible Tokens from Jo. Before being sent to The Pit, Kira had confided in Linda, expressing her belief that Jo was behind the orchestration of her vote. This suspicion stemmed from a parchment saying Kira was “too sweet”, which Kira knew was associated with Jo's attempts to portray her as overly sweet. It was later revealed that both Ushi and Motha Vanity were in on this plan as well. Kira's realization about Motha's involvement came when she compared his handwriting from a voting parchment against her to one that Motha made in the public vote. However, it wasn't until Luke and Ushi themselves disclosed the information during the final four that Kira learned about Ushi's participation. 
When Kira was eliminated, she strategically distributed her Invisible Tokens to Linda, Rod, and Motha Vanity; at the time, Kira didn’t know Motha voted for her. She hoped that by spreading her tokens among different players, they would be more inclined to save her from The Pit. In the first half of Phase 11, the players in the game allocated their tokens to Kira, Dragon, and Jason, who were in The Pit. This distribution of tokens affected a game called Give & Take, where The Pit had the power to take points from the players in the game, putting them at risk in the subsequent vote. Additionally, players in the game could take points away from The Pit - who earned points from the others’ Invisible Tokens. However, Kira decided to withhold her actions until she had gathered all the facts about who had voted for her. She chose to observe how the situation unfolded before making any moves. Additionally, all players had to predict the final six, which would later become relevant in the game.
Upon Kira's return from The Pit, where Dragon and Jason were sent to the jury, she was inundated with information from various sources. Notably, Linda confirmed Kira's suspicions regarding Jo orchestrating her elimination. Believing Rod to be her ally, Kira shared this revelation with him. Unbeknownst to Kira, Jo and Rod were involved in a romantic relationship outside the game. Consequently, Jo and Rod devised a plan to vote out Linda. However, Ricardo and Linda engaged in a discussion, during which Ricardo expressed his dissatisfaction with the unfolding dynamics of the game. He aimed to bring transparency to the situation, resulting in Ricardo's elimination despite Kira's attempt to collaborate with Linda, Ricardo, and Sparky to target Moop, despite their prior relationship in the early stages of the game. This phase marked the downfall of the Fantastic Five alliance, while Kira grew closer to Linda, Rey, and Sparky, forging new key alliances - a pivotal point in the game which Kira highlighted to the jury at the eventual finale.
With ten players remaining, paired up into teams, each pair engaged in a private game of Split & Steal. If both players chose to Split, they would retain their voting rights, whereas if both chose to Steal, neither would be able to vote. Additionally, if one player Stole while the other Split, the one who Stole would have the power of two votes. Kira found herself paired with Moop, the very player she had attempted to eliminate in the previous round. Sensing Moop's awkwardness during their conversation, Kira deduced that Moop would secretly decide to Steal. Consequently, Kira decided to also Steal, resulting in both players losing their voting privileges. Anticipating votes from Motha Vanity and Luke, while expecting Jo and Sparky to vote for Linda, Kira recognized Rey as the swing vote. Earlier, Kira had encouraged Rey to follow his heart and vote for Kira herself, as Linda told Rey she enjoyed the game for its escapism from real life. However, Kira also revealed to Rey that Jo and Rod were dating, a piece of information she had shared out of surprise rather than as a strategic ploy. In the end, Rod was voted out.
In Phase 13, Rey, who held the highest average trust ranking, was granted the power to declare one player as safe, subsequently forming a chain where each safe player would choose the next. Sparky was added as the third player in the chain and she selected Kira as the next safe player. Eventually, Jo found herself as the final player remaining unsafe, resulting in her elimination in ninth place. Despite their ongoing arguments over Jo's dating controversy and her involvement in Kira's elimination, Jo still granted Kira a Good Last Wish. In the following challenge, Touchy Subjects, where the half with the fewest points would be at risk, Kira possessed an advantage which would give her one correct answer automatically. However, this advantage did not spare her from being at risk, so it was disregarded. During the vote, the four immune players (Motha Vanity, Luke, Rey, and Sparky) all voted for Moop, while Rey and Sparky voted for Linda. Motha and Luke, on the other hand, cast their votes against Kira. Thanks to her Good Wish, one vote against Kira was nullified. Consequently, Linda and Moop were eliminated in seventh and eighth place, respectively.
Phase 15 was based on the final six rankings made earlier in the game. As the player with the most accurate ranking, Ushi was immune. Due to Kira’s final four alliance with Rey, Sparky, and Ushi, the options were to eliminate Motha Vanity or Luke in sixth place. Ultimately, they chose Motha Vanity due to his higher threat level. The next phase saw the players play a game similar to Fibbage, and Rey lost in a heartbreaking elimination followed by his last words over voice chat, with all the final five present. Immediately after, the players thought they were doing a live challenge, but it was revealed to be an intense deliberation between the final four over voice chat, followed by a vote. Despite Kira’s very good social game and jury management, and Luke’s argument regarding this, Kira was kept in the game by a 3-1 vote and made it to the final three. Due to the previous Social Experiment seasons having the jury vote at the final two, Sparky and Ushi presumed that they would have another opportunity to eliminate Kira. However, they didn’t.
At the jury vote, Kira delivered a speech highlighting her wholesome nature in the game, and how she wouldn’t compromise her personality for others in the game. She also emphasized her decision to switch allies upon her return from The Pit, and how she did this successfully and integrated herself quickly with the new alliance. Ultimately, she was applauded by the jury and won Social Experiment III: Last Wish in a 10-2-1 vote, also earning the Fan Favourite and Miss Congeniality awards for her kindness and compassion.

 In "Am I a Bitch? Yes, Yes I Am." (also known as Phase 10 - "Full Moon Fashions"), Kira couldn't vote as Pom Pom cast a Bad Wish on her when Pom Pom was sent to The Pit. In "Rat King" (also known as Phase 12 - "Stealing Stars"), Kira couldn't vote as a result of her Split & Steal game with Moop, which ended with them both choosing to Steal and thus both losing their votes. In "Everyone Gonna Be Exposed" (also known as Phase 14 - "Blood Moon"), Kira couldn't vote as she was in the bottom four players as a result of the Touchy Subjects competition. Also in "Everyone Gonna Be Exposed", Kira had one vote cast against her randomly negated as Jo cast a Good Wish on her when Jo was sent to The Pit.
