Sakura

**sakura**, also known as **Sakura**, is a contestant on *Survivor: Canary Islands*.

Sakura's social position was meek and unstable throughout the early days of the game, and despite growing increasingly self-aware of his situation, he could not do anything to change the tribe's general confusion surrounding him and his demeanor. Through Gomera's incredible challenge showing, Sakura made it to the swap, and he continued to avoid tribal council all the way up to Day 17, shortly following his decision to mutiny back to his original tribe. The decision to mutiny, although based on a good read, did him no favor; despite finding solace in Sparky as a new ally, he was voted out following a tempestuous tribal council despite his and Sparky's best efforts.

## Profile

**Name and Age:** Sakura, 16

**Tribe Designation:** Gomera

**Current Residence:** Bedfordshire, UK

**Personal Claim to Fame:** Am a keyboard player for a local jazz fusion band, and the lead vocalist and guitarist for my own personal band that will (hopefully) release some music sometime this year! Also sometimes delve into classical composition, won some awards in some county-level competitions for that, albeit not exactly deservedly in my opinion. I also helped my former secondary school's music department set up some of their new equipment, especially with regards to what software to set up, what extra hardware to buy to help out future students and whatnot.

**Three Words to Describe You:** Adventurous, lazy, audacious

**Pet Peeves:** People that pride themselves too much in their ability, to a degree where their primary source of confidence stems from a feeling of being better than everyone else, feeding only off the supposed inadequacy of others. It not only ends up making everyone else feel like utter shit, but also makes you look like an asshole on the process. You're also not as brilliant as you think you are.

**Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like:** Zane Knight - do I have to explain? :D

**Why did you come on Survivor?** As much as I do enjoy participating in these gameshows as I am somewhat a fan of them myself, the biggest reason behind it is how much I value the friendships that are made along the way of playing. I do have a philosophy that "anything that happens in the game stays in the game", and this thinking has led me to value meeting people even if those people end up being my rivals in the game. That rivalry stays in the game, and what comes out is another person, another friend to have met. :)

**Why do you think you'll become the Sole Survivor?** By the power of blackmail >:). Nah I'm kidding. Although I do enjoy it, strategizing isn't entirely my forte (from past experience, most plans that I pursued usually backfired), so I'll have to rely on my, albeit poor, sociability, and daily dog pics :)

**Anything else we should know about you?** I am the second coming of Pablo Escobar.
