DRAFT PROFILE

TIER C

Number 19 of 22 on our preseason board, in tier C alongside 9 other players.

That is a bet on how many points Sherry is worth to a fantasy roster, which is not the same bet as who wins. Points come from missions, shields, surviving the Round Table and calling a Traitor correctly, so a loud player who gets banished in episode six can outscore a quiet one who reaches the end.

Ranked before the premiere, from the cast announcement and nothing else. Nobody involved has seen a frame of the season.

BEFORE THEY PLAYED
Wanted the cloak

Sherry asked for the cloak before filming. That is appetite, not an assignment: casting decides, and plenty who campaign for it spend the season Faithful. What it does tell you is that Sherry arrived willing to lie, which is the harder half to fake, and that a Faithful Sherry is a player whose instincts point the wrong way at every Round Table.

What they told the cameras before filming, not a spoiler and not a prediction. Casting decides who wears the cloak.

IN THE CASTLE

A shared age, home state or trade is the first shortcut a Round Table reaches for.

Counted from the twenty-two announced players, not from anything that has happened. The season has not started.

BIO

A writer from Leawood, Kansas, who started out as a journalist, and at 65 the oldest of the 22. She has the cast's most confident pitch and the receipts to go with it. "My talent is the ability to work a room. I want to be a Traitor, because I've been honing that skill set for six decades." The journalism shows in the rest of her plan: "you learn more from listening than talking." Casts routinely underestimate the oldest person at the table, and routinely regret it.

🎯 FANTASY TAKE

At 65 they are the oldest in the castle by over a decade, and writers are professional narrative-builders, which is what a Round Table accusation actually is. Expect the lowest missions contribution in the cast and a real edge in the part of the game that decides it.

STRATEGY

Expect them to sit quietly and then tell the table a very tidy story about somebody.
