User blog:Lethargic Yuki Co./2nd Chances: Staci

I decided to start a little blog series of my own. It’s called Finalist Factor, obviously. So, what is Finalist? It’s a blog showcasing characters who need a chance to shine, why they need it, and why they deserve it. This time, we’re talking about one of the most infamously useless characters in the fandom, Staci. I’m gonna give you an overview of her character, why she deserves a shot at Finalist status, what she could get from it, and how it could be executed.

Who is Staci?
Staci is a talkative teenage girl who has a tendency to lie about her family, particularly her ancestors. This is almost always done in this fashion (I’m just making up a family member and invention XD): “My great, great, great, grandmother Examplina invented the cafeteria. Before her, students would have to wait until they got home from school to eat”. That’s pretty much all there is to know about her.

Why Does She Deserve Another Shot?
Despite how talkative she is, there’s a lot of mysteries surrounding her that need to be solved! Why does she feel the need to lie so much? Who IS Staci really? Are her lies the only thing she has? What are her strengths and weaknesses? Is a competitor strong enough to rival Zoey, Izzy, Eva, pre-AS Mike, Jasmine, Sky, Shawn, among others hiding behind her compulsive lying? Is she a psychopath? (What? You can never be sure.) There’s so much to this girl that we don’t know! So much development yet to be had! So much wasted potential ready to be un-wasted (if that’s even possible)!

A Possible Execution
On day one of a new game, Staci arrives. She is put into the bottom two constantly, but there’s always someone with more votes against them than her. One of her teammates actually manages to befriend Staci, and, after so many near eliminations, Staci breaks down and tells them what the cause of her pathological lying is. She wants to be honest, and gradually she lies less and less. She doesn’t let lying distract her anymore, and she even wins immunity a few times in the merge. She’s made friends, and not as the girl who hides behind her wall of lies. As Staci. She’s free from her lies, and determined to win. She makes it to the top ten, then the final five, then the final four, the final three, and finally, the finale.

Welp, that’s all, folks. Let me know if you agree or disagree with my stance. See you next time on, Finalist Factor!
