## **Appearance**

Taylor is one of the shortest contestants in the season, only standing up at 5'1" (155cm) tall. She has pale skin, long and messy orange hair, and intense, blue eyes. Her typical attire consists of a yellow crop-top with a brown leather jackets, black overalls, and brown boots, while her space suit is orange. She has several tattoos, but the only visible one is of red and orange flames on her left shoulder.

## **Personality**

Taylor stands out from most of the group as one of the most aggressive contestants in the season. She's very loud and excitable, being somewhat difficult to handle for some of her teammates. She has shown that she doesn't like to be bossed around by anyone, as seen in "An Out of this World Encounter Part 1" when she refuses to listen to Thomas' suggestion. Despite her hot-headedness, however, she does care for her friends greatly and will always have their back, which can be seen in multiple scenes with her and Nicolás. She has also acknowledged that she's not the most agreeable person, but she doesn't want to let people push her around.

## **History**

### An Out of this World Encounter Part 1

Taylor is the second last astronaut to reveal her face, and she was not pleased with it at all. She shouted at Chris for making her wait so long, which scared the host and caused him to jump into Chef's arms.

She was placed on the Cosmic Guppies when Chris announced the teams.

Later, when the Guppies are trying to decide their room situation, she makes it clear that she doesn't want it to be decided for her by Thomas, who suggested the boys and girls each take on side of the hall. Soon after, she has a moment in the confessional where she acknowledges that she's being problematic.

Though not shown in the episode, while everyone is picking their rooms, Taylor ends up next to Jianne's room and across from Nicolás'.

### An Out of this World Encounter Part 2

Taylor is mentioned in the recap with Chris saying that "she doesn't like to be bossed around."

Taylor is one of the first contestants to be seen searching for the medallion, along with Jianne and Nicolás. She searches the kitchen while the other two search the cafeteria. When Nicolás says it may not be in there, she asked him to repeat himself, as he was very quiet. Jianne then accused her of not paying attention, which made her come out of the kitchen ready to fight. The two argue for a bit, but the argument is broken up by Nicolás, which then signals her to return to the kitchen and look some more.

In the confessional, she admits that she thinks Nicolás is a cool guy, while she doesn't care for Jianne.

In the second half of the challenge, Taylor is first seen with Nicolás and Damien in a swampy area, where she shouts to grab everyone's attention and let the enemies know where they are. This alerts Dusty and Vicente to come out looking for them, but the latter is quickly taken down by Taylor and her posse in exchange for Damien. The actor begs Taylor to help him out of the slime, but she insists she'll come back later and brings Nicolás along with her.

Taylor is seen in the confessional once again, this time admitting that she probably should've helped Damien, but getting Dusty was too important.

Taylor manages to take Dusty down after the cowgirl had already splatted March, which only left Alexis standing for the Penguins. Her, Jianne, and Nicolás quickly spotted the last enemy, but Alexis bent down to grab a penny, which caused Jianne to accidentally shoot Nicolás in the foot with slime. She immediately lashes out against Jianne, spraying her with the slime and getting her stuck to a tree before Alexis gets her stuck to the ground, indirectly causing her team to lose the first challenge.

Taylor and Jianne had a back and forth confessional where they blamed each other for attacking their own teammate, though Jianne's attack to Nicolás was a complete accident in comparison to the purposeful attack from Taylor.

At the elimination ceremony, Taylor and Jianne are glaring at each other through the whole thing, up until they realize they're the first bottom two. She questions the votes when she realizes that it's only her and her enemy left.

When Taylor was eliminated, she insisted that she was at least helping someone, unlike Jianne. Upon leaving, she remarks that she was one of the best on the team.

Taylor voted for Jianne in the elimination ceremony, along with Nicolás, Sebastian, and Haley.

### Mini-Episode: Crash Landing

Taylor is the main character in this mini-episode, which involves her being eliminated first and how upset she is about it. She regrets being eliminated first, and mentions that she would like to see Nicolás, Jianne, and Gretchen again, though all for different reasons. Chris startles her by speaking to her remotely in her pod, telling her that she isn't going home, but to somewhere else nearby where Camp Wawanakwa used to be. He tells her to enjoy her fall and that Gretchen will her what she said about her (that she thought she was hot), before disappearing from her pod. She barely has time to adjust herself before her pod plummets down to Playa Des Losers.

### Mini-Episode: A Shady Deal

When Thomas first uses his Link app, he checks to see if it works by connecting to Taylor's device and seeing her at the resort.

### Moon Rockin'

Taylor is mentioned throughout Chris's recap. He talks about how she and Jianne caused huge problems for each other and their teams before recalling her elimination.

### Mini-Episode: Sparring Partners

Taylor is one of the two main characters in this mini-episode, where Haley is searching for a sparring partner to keep her martial arts at top notch. Taylor agrees to do it, and tells her not to hold back, as she wants to experience the most adrenaline possible. Despite getting tossed like a salad several times, she insists that it was fun and that she wants to do it again sometime.

### Mini-Episode: Reunited

Though not directly mentioned, Taylor is one of the contestants that is disgusted with Sebastian's behavior, despite her hatred for Jianne. She is also briefly mentioned as still being Haley's partner.

## **Relationships**

### Nicolás:

Taylor has said that she likes Nicolás, which is odd considering the two have little to nothing in common. He's much quieter than she is, but she ignores this and insists that he's her best friend on the whole station. She acts sort of like a big sister to him, as seen in "An Out of this World Encounter Part 2" when she gets angry at Jianne for accidentally sliming him. She is very overprotective of him, despite her yelling at him for splashing her in the intro.

### Chris:

Taylor dislikes Chris, which is made clear when she yells at him everytime she speaks to him. She scares the life out of him, though he would never admit it.

### Jianne:

Taylor despises Jianne and directly blames her for her own elimination. She mentions that she'd like to "sock her" in the head for getting her eliminated in "Mini-Episode: Crash Landing." Despite this, she still doesn't think Sebastian should've treated her the way he did after Haley's elimination.

### Haley:

Taylor is both a friend and sparring partner to Haley, though the two aren't on the same level in terms of martial arts. Taylor insists that sparring with Haley is both fun and exciting, and that she loves doing it.

### Gretchen:

Taylor has mentioned interest in Gretchen in "Mini-Episode: Crash Landing." Aside from this, the two never interacted with each other.

### Sebastian:

Though the two never really interacted outside of "Mini-Episode: This is a Threat," Taylor has showcased a distaste for the boy, especially in how he treats Haley. She grew to hate him even more when he took her telling him to check his attitude as her hitting on him.
