**Imke** is a contestant from **MintORGs Season 1: Hogwarts**.

One of the main power players of Season 1, Imke had control from start to finish, despite it being her first ever time playing an ORG. Taking control at her first ever tribal to get Hairie voted out, Imke used her loyal allies to make sure everyone she wanted gone was gone, forming tight duos with several players. Swapping onto Lupin, Imke played the middle, taking out Riley and then Meredith, which ultimately formed the two 'sides' of the merge. Imke's downfall came when she was voted out in a blindside as the biggest threat of the game.

## Survivor

Potentially the most influential player of the season, Imke had power and control from start to finish, despite it being her first ever time playing an ORG. Taking control at her first ever tribal to get Hairie voted out, Imke used her loyal allies to make sure everyone she wanted gone was gone, forming tight duos with several players. Swapping onto Lupin, Imke played the middle, taking out Riley and then Meredith, which ultimately formed the two 'sides' of the merge. Continuing to power through the game, Imke's downfall came at the Final 7, when everybody realised Imke had been pulling all the strings. She was voted out in a blindside as the biggest threat of the game.
