Saltandzephyr

**saltandzephyr**, also known as **Zephyr**, is the Sole Survivor of *Survivor: Black Hills*.

Having played a dominant social and strategic game since the very beginning, Zephyr's friendly personality and enthusiastic demeanor allowed them to make it through the pre-merge phase of the game with very little difficulty. As things got chaotic early into the merge, Zephyr's agency allowed them to lay low and continue presenting themselves as a viable receptor of information, which allowed them to survive the fallout of the chaotic Final 9 vote completely unscathed. Their strong social connections granted them a spot at the Final Tribal Council, and despite a great Final Tribal Council performance from fellow finalist Jude, they were narrowly awarded the title of Sole Survivor in a close 4-3-0 vote for their overwhelmingly great social and strategic game.

**Why do you think you'll become the Sole Survivor?** Because what I lack in skill I make up for in enthusiasm. Plus, if I'm voted off I can't send the other castaways pictures of my cat anymore, and that would be devastating for everyone.
