Ashly Marin

Ashly Marin is a contestant from Survivor: Peru – The Inca Empire.

Profile
Ashly Marin was born in Savannah, Georgia and raised in Charleston, South Carolina. Growing up with a sports-centric family, she has the instinct to show off her competitive edge. Although she may not be athletic, she is the most aesthetic of her kin. Before the age of 23, she became certified in tattooing, got one of her pastel drawings framed at the Columbia Museum of Art, wrote a manuscript of songs for and with a local pop-rock band, and custom designed wallpaper sans a postgraduate degree.

Besides body art, Marin uses her artistic talents to paint bold murals and humorous caricatures at art fairs. In her competitive spirit, she holds the record for reeling in the longest striped bass for a female at the Folly Beach Fishing Tournament; she won an illustrators' contest where her drawings were published in a children's novella. Plus, she and her father have won first place at the annual Palmetto Rowing Club Games in Hilton Head Island three times. An openly bisexual woman, she shuns conversations about her love life.

Marin's hobbies include anything art-related, fly fishing, socializing, and shrimping. She describes herself as "a schemer with more than the healthy dose of sass". Her biggest achievement in life is helping restore a structure part of Charleston history. She thinks the biggest challenge in this competition is staying low key with her drastic physical appearance. She believes the Sole Survivor title will go to her because she does not need anybody holding her hand like a toddler along the way and is a hard worker. She wants to be on LEXX'S SURVIVOR to experience its competition and win the $1 million to spend on her family, friends, and herself. For her beginning strategy, she wants to form an alliance with two smart-looking men and a strong woman.

Marin lives in Charleston and is single.
