endurer
One who persists
One who endures—who bears hardship, pain, or difficulty with patience and persistence.
The word emphasizes sustained resilience rather than mere survival: Marathon runners are endurers by nature.
Less common than "survivor" but carries a stronger sense of active fortitude through prolonged struggle.
