Sindira was SO lovely this season. She was one of the only D&D players on the cast, alongside her IRL friends Akicita, Aowyn, and Lavinia, and she was one of the only two who started the game together. Her and Lavinia immediately clicked with Danger, and they formed the Parent Trap alliance that would run the first few votes. Danger was the real power behind this trio, but Sindira was a loyal lieutenant. When Lavinia drew the Ruin card and lost her vote, Sindira was immediately willing to throw a vote her way and help free her from the trap. When they lost the second challenge, Sindira voted for Lavinia while the rest voted against Famine. When the first swap came, Sindira landed on Nydoorin with the other two members of her trio, and seemed set up to go far at Danger’s side. We all know what happened next, though, and Danger got booted in a huge blindside with an idol in his pocket. Sindira and Lavinia were left on the bottom, with only one vote to their names. They hadn’t made the same social inroads that the others had, so the writing was on the wall for them. A swap seemed to come just in time, and despite sticking with Lavinia again it didn’t look like much had changed for the duo. Lavinia was sent home as an easy target, leaving Sindira entirely alone. In a twist, the next round was revealed to be a double tribal, meaning Sindira had a chance to save herself with Individual Immunity. In a huge clutch win, she managed to pull it off and protect herself! She was also able to draw from the Deck of Many Things, but the Euryale card meant she wouldn’t be allowed to compete in challenges until she voted incorrectly. While everyone else blindsided Lars, Sindira voted for Flower in order to remove the curse.

By the skin of her teeth, Sindira had made it to the merge. Sindira was one of the possible consensus names going into the first individual immunity challenge, and when Ano won immunity alongside Riley it seemed like Sindira and Shaun were the two names in danger. Sindira had been messy in how she lied about her deck draw, giving too many stories to too many people, so she ultimately became a consensus target. Roman gave her enough of a heads up that she decided to play her SITD, but it wasn’t enough to save her from a near unanimous boot. Sindira became the mayor of ponderosa, and she filled this role gloriously. She was so welcoming and kind to every juror as they entered, and really helped to set a positive tone to what could have been a bitter jury. Sindira left her mark on this game with her great spirit and positive vibes, and played loyally from beginning to end, earning her a nomination for Hero of the Season. For a first time player, Sindira did very well and added a lot to this cast.

**Hero**

Sindira didn’t make a deep run, but they were easily one of the biggest heroes of the premerge. She formed an alliance on day one with Lavinia and Danger, and stuck with this until the end. She was even willing to vote for Lavinia twice in order to rid her of the disadvantage she drew from the Deck of Many Things. Everyone loved Sindira, and when it was time to take her out, it broke the hearts of everyone who had to vote against her. As mayor of Ponderosa, she was welcoming and supportive and made everyone feel at home as they entered the jury. In a season that could’ve had a very bitter and angry jury, Sindira did a lot to ensure that this wouldn’t happen. She added so much heart to the game, and we’re so happy that she played!

**Best Duo (With Lavinia)**

Lavinia and Sindira were this game’s first duo. Of the four D&D girls who knew each other at the top of the season, these were the only two who ended up on a tribe together at the start. They were very careful to avoid metagaming, but it was only natural that they teamed up. Alongside Danger, these girls ran their first tribe. Even when Lavinia lost her vote, she remained an influential player. Sindira and Lavinia weren’t the most strategic players, and once Danger was voted out they struggled to regain their footing, but they refused to flip on each other. Sindira voted for Lavinia twice, but this was actually just further proof of their friendship since the votes were purely to remove Lavinia’s disadvantage. These two were inseparable, and it was really sweet to watch.
