Luckily for her, he willed her legacy advantage! At her new tribe, she found herself on the majority with three Moto members and two Ravu members. Her tribe's dominance allowed her to never experience tribal again. When the merge came, she was brutally outnumbered but she never gave up. Hunting for the idol, she found the new merged Balboa idol. At the first merge vote, she felt apprehensive and didn't hesitate to use her legacy advantage. After Dante left the game, her game was in big danger. When her allie Anon won immunity, Susan believed the votes were coming for her so she played another idol, negating her six votes.

DragoBreeder

**DragoBreeder** is a contestant from Survivor: Fiji.

## Biography

Drago was one of the twenty castaways selected to participate in Survivor: Fiji. Beginning the game on the Moto tribe, Drago founded the majority Random Votes alliance right after the cast reveal. At the first session, Drago was mostly invisible, and sat out in the challenge. His seven person alliance was never put to the test, because his tribe won immunity and was safe from the first tribal council.

At the second immunity challenge, Drago competed. Him along with Jayden were the only two people to finish the obstacle course for Moto. Ravu rushed through it, and beat them for immunity, sending Drago to his very first tribal council. Drago and Jayden had a large rivalry, and Drago knew he would need to take him out, otherwise he would end up being voted out. He ended up getting his majority alliance to vote out his rival, Jayden in a 8-1-1 vote.

At the third immunity challenge, Drago had seen Peter find the hidden immunity idol at the challenge, so Drago and his alliance decided to split the votes, four on Jackson, four on Peter, just in case Peter decided to play his idol. After the votes tied, in a 7-0 revote, Peter was sent packing by Drago and his alliance.

When they arrived back at camp, Jackson freaked out at the tribe for voting for him. Drago explained in a confessional that he didn’t feel bad for Jackson, and Jackson had his back up against the wall. However, behind the scenes, Liam was creating a plan to blindside Drago by throwing the immunity challenge. The immunity challenge was Soccer, and Drago was forced to sit out. His tribe lost the challenge 3-0 to Ravu, and his tribe was sent to their third tribal council in a row. Drago thought the plan was to split between Jackson and Keegan, because Keegan didn’t show up. Drago led the charge and directed his alliance which way to vote. At tribal council, Drago explained that he knew there was a very high chance he was going home. In the vote, Drago was not surprised to know he was voted out in a 5-2-1 vote by Liam. He placed 16th.
Rika

Nom japonais : ファル (faru)

Nom original : Fal

Nom version globale : Rika

Race : Newman

Classe : -

Âge : 1

Ville natale : Bio-plant (Motavia)

*"J'ai tellement appris de Seed. Sur les océans, les montagnes, les villes et les gens! Il y a une grande différence entre les connaissances acquises en étudiant et les vraies expériences dans la vie réelle."*

- Rika à Chaz.

## Description

Rika est la création biologique de l’un des ordinateurs les plus puissants de Motavia. Bien qu’elle soit assez naïve (une vie passée dans un complexe informatique souterrain n’a pas amélioré les choses), il est bon de l’avoir à ses côtés au combat. Son arme favorite est la griffe.

Rika est une Newman, le produit de mille ans de recherche par l'intelligence artificielle le Seed. C'est la successeur de Nei, dont la scission entre Nei et Neifirst a semblé être un dysfonctionnement de ce premier modèle. Seed a donc développer un modèle plus stable et amélioré.

Quand elle rejoint le groupe, elle n'a qu'un an et a passé toute sa vie au sein de la Bio-Plant, mais a reçu une éducation de base par Seed et Wren; Rika les appelle ses professeurs et les respecte énormément. Au cours du jeu, elle affiche une connaissance considérable de l'ancienne technologie avancée d'Algo et peut faire fonctionner des machines que les autres membres du groupe ne peuvent pas, en particulier le navire écrasé au nord-ouest de Nalya, mais elle manque d'expérience personnelle et est fascinée par le monde extérieur. Cela se reflète dans sa progression de niveau; elle commence le jeu avec zéro expérience et gagne de nouveaux niveaux plus rapidement que tout autre personnage.

Malgré son expérience de la vie très limitée, elle semble avoir un haut degré de conscience émotionnelle, et certains de ses dialogues avec les PNJ, ses interactions avec Rune (en particulier après avoir acheté la Psycho-Wand) et ses rencontres avec Dark Force et ses schémas associés suggèrent qu'elle a une empathie psychique de bas niveau. Peut-être un choix délibéré de la part de Seed; Ses professeurs étant des unités d'IA et incapables de quitter la Bio-Plant pour apprendre l'interaction sociale, la concevoir avec un sixième sens a peut-être été une solution de rechange ou pour compenser; Rika a rarement, voire jamais, de la difficulté à comprendre les nuances ou les insinuations d'autres personnages.

Elle développe un rapport avec Chaz au fur et à mesure que l'histoire progresse. Une relation romantique s'installe entre les deux personnages. Après la destruction de Profound Darkness, elle choisit de vivre avec lui à la fin de la partie.

Episode 27, Season 1 - marketable minis 2

He is based off the average annoying English football fan who sobs and stamps their feet when their favourite team looses, he's homophobic because he is stuck up and out of touch like most football fans who don't know that society is progressing, his rude words are meant to annoy many engines and fellas. Sixteen has major beef with him because he was there when Trust first started to be homophobic as they both worked at the same steelworks.

**Trust** was then promoted as poster boy on the North Western for the diesel engine campaign, as he doesn't really deserve and he's just a shunt that goes 15mph max bruh.

Trust was a reoccoring character throughout the first 2 seasons and the first 10 episodes of season 3, durring the events of the movie he is arrested. Sometimes between "Sixteen and the Discord Railway" and "Neil and Marie's Awesome Adventure" Trust is freed from railgate and returns as the main antagonist, it can be assumed Sir Stingy gave him another chance ont he railway seeing as only Trust and Coochie have returned and not Mr. Rails Jr or Stefano.

	+ **Trust** can also be interpreted as just a general dickhead from twitter who loves sports and thinks Thomas fans are pedos
	+ He has been mentioned in Episode 9 of **Alex's Railway Stories** by Dax. Not this one, another Dax.
* Trust's main personality trait is being homophobic, however he has also shown traits of racisim, ableism, sexisim and general bigotry.

Following the celebration of Chinatsu's birthday, her relationship with Taiki is no longer awkward. For the upcoming cultural festival, Hina will be playing Snow White in their class play. Hina talks with Kyo about her confession to Taiki and she ends up assuring him that she is okay with him having a crush on Chinatsu. At the same time, Taiki ends up running into Chinatsu in her classroom and they imagine what it would be like if they were in the same grade. Coming home from school, Taiki finds out that Chinatsu will be going home with her mom while she is in Japan due to her grandfather needing surgery. As Taiki starts to miss her not being around him all the time, he realizes that they're closer than they used to be when he finds out that she ran to meet him during morning practice at the gym.

**Stephanie** is numbered 3 on the Thneedville & LazyTown Railway, her first real apperence to the series was in the 2018 failed reboot of the show.

Her character is meant to symbolise Victoria from Underground Ernie or Holly Flax from The Office.

When constructing her current rebuild in the show, Ryan accidentally glued her wheel to her axle so it couldn't spin well, this happened because he was trying to glue the spring in but the glue must have leaked through the tender and down near the wheels.

She texts him that she has gym fifth period and where to meet. Taiki texts her to meet him in the AV room.

Taiki is rushing to the Av room until he is stopped by Haryu. He tries to drag Taiki to a midday practice, but Taiki stops him as he somewhere to be. Haryu asks if that something is more important than badminton. This causes Taiki to ask if Haryu has something more important than badminton. Haryu starts thinking about badminton, his girlfriend, and monster hunter, which confuses Taiki. When Haryu tries to get them to go practice, Taiki immediately rushes off to meet Chinatsu apologizing to Haryu. In the AV room, he is shocked to find Hina and the rhythm gymnastics team there. Hina explains how they're having a meeting and asks if he needs something. Taiki tries to leave but drops Chinatsu's uniform. When she ties to pick it up, he lies that it's his dirty uniform. Disgusted, Hina tells him to leave quickly.

The bell rings and Taiki tells her that she will be late. When he turns around, he is shocked to find Chinatsu changing clothes. She explains there is no time for her to make it to the gym and change. Taiki turns around and listens as she changes clothes. Every time he hears a sound, his heart starts beating a little hard as he is imagining things about her. Once she is done, she thanks him for waiting and tells him they can go. However, Taiki tells her to go ahead. He thinks about her changing and how she wasn't realizing that she was changing clothes with a dude around.
