http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screamingGopher_beth.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Wannabe]]
->''"Omigosh, hi Chris! It's so incredulous to meet you! Wow, you're much shorter in real life..."''
-->''Voiced by:'' Sarah Gadon
Born and raised on a farm, Beth is a sweet girl who loves her Ma and Pa and they love her back even more. She wants everybody else to love her, too. Just ask the students at her school. In an effort to make friends, Beth constantly makes a fool of herself in front of the whole school, but is completely oblivious as to what she's doing wrong. The problem is, Beth knows how to bond with cows and chickens, but she doesn't know how to socialize with humans.
It doesn't help that her closest sibling is Big Bertha (a pig she's raised since a piglet). Big Bertha has oodles of barn yard friends, so Beth tries to emulate Bertha's social skills, but they don't always translate to the human world. (Like rolling around on the field "snorting loudly" doesn't entice others to join in... Beth found this out at the latest Football Rally.
Where Beth does excel is the Arts. She's bursting with creativity. She received the Art Achievement of the Year Award for her full-scale replica of the Sphinx, made out of glue, elbow macaroni, and felt.
When Beth isn't socializing or creating, she's crushing on someone. The boys at her school usually know she likes them because she'll follow them around like an orphaned puppy and make them poster sized homemade valentines with pictures of unicorns running down the beach. They try telling her they're not interested, but that doesn't stop tenacious B. She just thinks they're being shy. Maybe one day Beth will figure it out. Let's all cross our fingers. (And let's hope she doesn't read this. She'd be soooo crushed!)
* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Harold and Justin in ''Action''.
* {{Acrofatic}}: This sort of applies, but she had enough clumsy moments that Chris played a montage of them in the ''Action'' finale.
* {{Adorkable}}: Her fangasm over Chris during the character introduction of the first episode. Not to mention Beth looks kinda dorky yet cute with braces and in ''Action'', she really looks cute in her green pajamas.
* BackstabbingTheAlphaBitch: She was the first one of Heather's "alliance partners" to tell her off and shot her with a paintball gun.
* BadassAdorable: In "Million Dollar Babies" and the third aftermath of ''World Tour''.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: See BackstabbingTheAlphaBitch above. She also exposed Leshawna's WoundedGazelleGambit when she said Beth's boyfriend didn't exist.
* BracesOfOrthodonticOverkill: She gets them off right before the second season.
* CargoShip: In-universe with the pole Bridgette got stuck to.
* CharacterFocus: She receives a good bit of development during ''Action''; however, she goes OutOfFocus in ''World Tour''.
* ChekhovsSkill: In "Not Quite Famous" she reveals her talent for baton twirling. Much later in "Million Dollar Babies" this (partially) helps her to defeat Heather in a game of badminton during a challenge.
* TheChick: On the Screaming Gophers.
* DemotedToExtra: In ''World Tour''.
* FunSize: Until Cameron's introduction, she was the shortest character in the series.
* {{Geek}}
* HartmanHips
* {{Malaproper}}: There's the quote above, and then there's this line which has shades of {{Metaphorgotten}}:
-->'''Beth''': ''(in confessional with Lindsay)'' Even though Heather can be really mean, that doesn't mean we should be mean back, right? Buddha says: "You can lead a sheep to water, but you can't make it nice."
-->'''[[TheDitz Lindsay]]''': That is sooo deep!
* MinionWithAnFInEvil
* NerdGlasses
* NotGoodWithPeople: She understands farm animals a lot better than people.
* [[NotSoImaginaryFriend Not So Imaginary Boyfriend]]: Brady.
* OlderThanSheLooks
* PintsizedPowerhouse: In "Million Dollar Babies."
* ShoutOut: She has a pink bathing suit that looks like a [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration 24th century Starfleet uniform]].
* TheSmartGirl: On the Killer Grips.
* StalkerWithACrush: Hinted in "Totally Interactive!" (the official website for ''Island'') to Cody.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In ''Action'', though not as badly as Courtney and others.
* UncattyResemblance: In "Top Dog", as part of that episode's challenge, she befriends a RascallyRaccoon named Mr. Whiskers that has distinctive markings around its eyes similar to her glasses.
* VocalEvolution: Her voice in ''Action'' is about an octave higher and more enthusiastic than in ''Island'', making her sound more like a GenkiGirl than a {{Geek}}.

[[folder:Cody]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screamingGopher_cody.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Geek]]
->''"I see the ladies have already arrived. Alright!"''
-->''Voiced by:'' Peter Oldring
Cody's an only child from the suburbs who's been spoiled all his life. While his ample allowance easily buys him every trend-setting, techno-gadget, teen-savvy accessory required to be on the 'cutting edge of cool', he cannot buy the personality required to back it up.
Despite spending most of his life in the local mall (since that's the best place to study teens in the throes of 'being cool') none of it's helped his cause. Unfortunately, Cody doesn't know any of this. He thinks of himself as the coolest-of-all-dudes-in-the-burbs (his words).
At his prep school, Upper Crust College, he is considered pretty cool (but that's only within a select group of guys who belong to the Albert Einstein Fan Club - i.e. all geekier than Cody.) So while he boasts about knowing the 'cool code' (he doesn't), and has devoted his whole life to studying and mastering it (not really), and totally scores with the ladies (all myth and no legend), his real strengths are in maths and sciences, which isn't exactly your typical 'cool kid' skill set.
Cody's confident he can "swing" with the cool kids at Total Drama Camp (his word, clearly!). His only concern: whether or not the cafeteria will be providing the four essential food groups. Just to be safe, he's bringing a doctor's note, because it's hard to be cool when you're worried about the hypoglycemic index of your diet.
One day he'll be cool, when he starts his own tech support firm and makes millions off the kids who peaked in high school (and slept through computer studies). Maybe.
* {{Adorkable}}
* ButtMonkey
* CasanovaWannabe
* CharacterFocus: Despite being OutOfFocus in the second half of ''Island'' and all of ''Action'', he receives significant CharacterDevelopment time in ''World Tour'', almost to the point of SpotlightStealingSquad.
* ClassicalAntiHero: He used to be a typical hero, but the third season expanded on his less admirable traits.
* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: In the Yukon episode.
-->'''Sierra:''' Oh, Cody! If one of us was to drown, I hoped it would be me!
-->'''Cody:''' M-me too...
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He performs well under pressure.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Not Gwen anyway.
* DoggedNiceGuy: To Gwen.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: His unceremonious defeat by Alejandro in the finale.
* ExtravertedNerd
* {{Flanderization}}: From a CasanovaWannabe to a [[SingleTargetSexuality Gwensexual]].
* ForgottenBirthday: His parents forgot his sixteenth birthday. Apparently as a result he forgets about his ''own'' seventeenth birthday...but [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Sierra doesn't]].
* {{Geek}}: Not that he's aware of it.
* GroinAttack: The most frequent victim after Harold.
* HopelessSuitor: To Gwen.
* HypocriticalHumor: As much as he dislikes Sierra's advances, he's still going after Gwen.
* InnocentBlueEyes
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: "Gwen is my dream girl. I'm just not her dream guy but hey, as long as she's happy I'm happy."
** He averts this in ''World Tour'' when he is '''''not''''' happy to lose his second chance at her to Duncan.
* NerdsAreSexy: According to Sierra, who had some RealLife inspiration.
* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: According to the Creator/CartoonNetwork website for ''World Tour'', his favorite place is "away from Sierra." [[DoubleStandard But doesn't this hair sniffer still have Gwen's bra?]]
* OlderThanHeLooks
* TheOneGuy: The sole male member of Team Amazon (although nobody other than Sierra ever remembers).
* OverlyLongName: Sierra reveals that his full name is Cody Emmett Jameson Anderson.
* ThePeepingTom: He tries to watch Gwen change into her swimsuit in "Up the Creek", and "The Am-AH-Zon Race" reveals that he owns a pair of x-ray glasses that allow the wearer to see through clothing.
* PrinceCharmingWannabe: Averted in ''Island'', where he stops hitting on Gwen once he realizes that she isn't interested in him, but played straight in ''World Tour'', where he pursues Gwen despite her obvious discomfort and the fact that she already has a boyfriend.
* PunnyName: His name is one letter away from "code." As in, ''[[{{Geek}} computer code?]]''
* SatelliteLoveInterest: In a way. Shortly after he finishes the IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy shtick in ''Island'', he gets eliminated [[BearsAreBadNews in a very painful way]].
** Then in ''World Tour'' he had two purposes: To be Gwen's creepy HopelessSuitor and to be Sierra's target of affection.
* SingleTargetSexuality: He's first seen hitting on all the girls, but he pretty quickly settles into being a Gwen-sexual. Meanwhile, he's the ''target'' of Cody-sexual Sierra.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He thinks he's quite the ladies man.
* SpoiledSweet: According to his bio.
* SweetTooth
* TookALevelInJerkass: In ''World Tour''.
* UngratefulBastard: At first, his only responses to Sierra's rescues were [[ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike complaints and insults]], but he starts to appreciate her around the time she [[TakingTheBullet takes a meatball to the gut for him]].
* WouldHitAGirl: He attacks Courtney during the final challenge of "Hawaiian Punch", [[ActionGirl she immediately gets the upper-hand of course]], but still.

[[caption-width:96:The Goth Girl]]
->''"If I win, I'm gonna buy Camp Wawanakwa so I can burn it down and turn it into a graveyard."''
-->''Voiced by:'' Megan Fahlenbock
The daughter of a single mom, Gwen was a latch-key kid who grew up taking care of her kid brother. That's cool with Gwen, because she likes helping out her Mom, and has tons of fun with her brother, too. Like that time they put a bunch of beef bouillon cubes into the community Pool. (At least the neighborhood's dogs were happy!)
The only other thing she's passionate about is her art. She can lose herself in her sketch pad for hours and her favorite hobby is to go downtown on the weekends and people watch. She's been told she's talented and hopes to make a career out of it one day.
Gwen's the loner of her school, by choice. She doesn't need to hang out with a bunch of dorks just to feel better about herself and the last thing she'd do is follow a trend. Maybe a Trent... but never a trend. (wink wink!)
In fact, she wishes she never auditioned for Total Drama Island in the first place. She did it on a dare (to humor her brother) because she never thought they'd pick her. But now that she's been cast she figures she might as well make the most of it. Her plan is to play this thing out to the end just to prove what morons they really are. Besides, if she wins the $100,000 it would sure make life easier for her Mom.
Gwen may seem tough as nails on the outside, but when it comes to her family, she's as soft as... well, a marshmallow!
* ActionGirl
* AesopAmnesia: In the second ''Action'' aftermath, she says she's learned to be "straight up" so nothing can "bite her in the butt" again. By ''World Tour'', she apparently forgot about that.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Eventually for Duncan.
* AmicableExes: With Trent.
* BadassUnintentional: When she panicked and kicked a psycho killer in the face in "Hook, Line, and Screamer".
* BalloonBelly: She grows a little baby bump after pigging out on the buffet in "The Big Sleep".
* BareYourMidriff
* BigNo: Twice (and both in slow motion no less), the first instance in "The Big Sleep" when Trent fell asleep, leaving her to finish the challenge alone, and the second occurs in "The EX-Files" when Courtney tripped her so she'd drop the alien artifact and lose the challenge for their team.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Duncan.
* BrokenBird: Until the end.
* BuriedAlive: Her greatest fear.
* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: When she hides under some grass in "Hide And Be Sneaky" and again when she gets stuck in a cave with Heather, Duncan, and Owen in "Are We There Yeti?"
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: In ''Action'' and ''World Tour.''
* CaptainErsatz: Someone on the official blog noticed that her outfit and hair matched Tibby Rollins' from ''TheSisterhoodOfTheTravelingPants'' in several places, as seen [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_en5Ks4pqqDw/S8OGVF0ejeI/AAAAAAAABHk/pHBlXrbIWgQ/s1600/GWENTIBBY.jpg here]].

* DarkIsNotEvil
* DeadpanSnarker
* DecoyProtagonist: In ''Action.''
* DefrostingIceQueen: During ''Island''.
* DisappearedDad: According to her online bio, her mother is now single.
* EasilyForgiven: Only by Duncan in ''Action''. He wouldn't vote her off and was impressed that she sabotaged her team instead of being angry with her. Averted by Courtney when she cheats with Duncan in ''World Tour''. Trent, however, forgave her in both cases by the time they next saw each other.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* EnemyMine: Gwen and Courtney's mutual dislike for Heather makes them bond in the first half of ''World Tour''.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[{{Sixteen}} Nikki Wong.]] Her design also takes some cues from [[CloneHigh Joan of Arc.]]
* EyeScream: In "Picnic at Hanging Dork" her eucalyptus allergy causes her eyes to redden and swell to a nightmarish size.
* FinalGirl: Parodied in "Hook, Line and Screamer".
* FreudianSlip: Accidentally saying she dated Duncan instead of Trent in "Newf Kids on the Rock". Made all the funnier because she was [[HypocriticalHumor talking about Heather's "obvious crush" on Alejandro at the time.]]

* IntoxicationEnsues: In "The Am-AH-Zon Race," she accidentally stabs herself with Cody's [=EpiPen=]. She's extremely hyper for a good chunk of the episode, but she crashes shortly before the challenge ends.
* KaleidoscopeHair: She has alternating shades of light teal, black, and dark teal, though her status as the show's {{Goth}} means it's probably a dye job.

* PerpetualFrowner: At first.
* PlotAllergy: Her allergy to Eucalyptus.
* PragmaticHero
* RavenHairIvorySkin
* RelationshipUpgrade: With Duncan.
* TheRunnerUpTakesItAll: She alludes to this when she loses an elimination tiebreaker to Courtney in "Picnic at Hanging Dork".
* SecondLove: She falls in love with Duncan after falling in love with Trent, and likewise, he falls in love with her after falling in love with Courtney.
* ShipperOnDeck: In "Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better" she supports Cody/Sierra so that Cody will leave her alone.
* TheSnarkKnight
* SoapboxSadie: Tries to be this, and comically fails due to the sheer idiocy of Katie and Sadie in the Celebrity Manhunt special.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: She becomes notorious as a Spotlight Stealer when she and Courtney get involved in a LoveTriangle with Duncan in ''World Tour''.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A.
* TwitchyEye: In "The Am-AH-Zon Race" when under the effects of Cody's [=EpiPen.=]

->''"When I win, I'm thinking of my own spinoff series, "The World According to Heather."''
-->''Voiced by:'' Rachel Wilson
Heather has it all - looks, brains, talent - she could go on and on, but why talk about something that is so obvious!
Heather likes to keep busy with extracurricular activities. (Read: Be the center of attention and hog the spotlight.) She's School President (after several ballot boxes for her opponents mysteriously ended up in the boys' urinals). She's Head Cheerleader (but only attends rallies where the Year Book Photographer is present). She's Head of the Year Book Committee (to ensure that 'said photographer' includes only her best shots, and also to ban photos of anyone she hates.) She's President of the Debate Team, because she loves to argue but will only debate issues of personal interest (i.e. did you see Susie's new haircut? Can everyone say: '80's perm-gone-wrong'?)
The only place Heather is outranked is at home. She has an [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling evil younger brother]], Damien, who enjoys torturing Heather by booby-trapping her room and putting glue in her hair conditioner.
Heather would be mortified if the audience discovered her deep dark secret, but Total Drama Island has heard from reliable sources (her brother) that she used to be a fat, brace-faced style challenged junior high reject; something she overcompensates for now with a mean veneer and lots of makeup.
Heather hopes that her experience on Total Drama Island will open more doors for her so she can eventually attain her long-term goal of ruling Europe.
* ActionGirl: She has her moments.
* AlphaBitch: In ''Island''; however, she clashes with Courtney and Blaineley for the position during ''World Tour''.

* ArchEnemy: To Gwen and Leshawna since the start, and Courtney in ''World Tour''.
* AttentionWhore
* BadBoss: Her treatment of Lindsay and Beth in ''Island'' was almost criminal.
* BaldWoman: From her elimination in ''Island'' to the ''Action'' special.
* BalloonBelly:
** In "The Big Sleep", her stomach gets significantly pudgier after gorging herself in a buffet.
** There's a segment in "Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special" where the reporters reveal Heather's ''astounding'' three-ounce weight gain, complete with a close up of a tiny bulge in her midsection.
* BareYourMidriff
* TheBaroness: During the first season at least.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Alejandro.
* BigBad: Of the first season.
* BitchAlert: Her introduction in the first episode beautifully [[http://images.wikia.com/totaldramaisland/images/1/13/HeatherArrives.png establishes]] this.
* BreakTheHaughty
* ButtMonkey
* CatchPhrase: "Ugh!"
* CharacterDevelopment: While she's still mean and manipulative, compare how evil she was in ''Island'' to how she is in ''World Tour'' and there's quite a difference.
* TheCheerleader: According to her bio.
* TheChessmaster
* TheChewToy: Probably the most consistent across three seasons.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She does not want Courtney to have Alejandro.
* CrocodileTears:
** In ''Island'', she uses this to break up Trent and Gwen, see WoundedGazelleGambit below.
** In ''World Tour'', she uses this to [[spoiler:get Alejandro to let his guard down]] during the final challenge.
** In ''Revenge of the Island'', she uses this to confuse Lightning during his attempt to [[spoiler: retrieve the stolen prize money from her]].
* DeadpanSnarker
--> '''Harold''': I'll have you know this is a selfless act! My lady fans couldn't handle the loss of this perfect behind!
--> '''Heather''': And by "lady fans", he means his mother.
* DeathGlare: Her default expression since she is easily disgusted or aggravated by almost everyone or everything on the show.
* DefeatByModesty: Accidentally does it to herself when her halter top comes off. However the distraction provided by this actually [[SubvertedTrope makes her team win the challenge]] and directly causes Harold's elimination.
* DefrostingIceQueen: A realistic approach to the trope. She's actually become progressively nicer over the course of the series, while retaining her obsession with winning.
* {{Determinator}}: Became this in "Hawaiian Punch".
* [[DoesNotLikeSpam Does Not Like Barbecue Potato Chips]]
* EasilyForgiven: Averted, see ReformedButRejected below.
* EnemyMine: With Gwen against Courtney in the second half of ''World Tour'', partly because Courtney kept throwing challenges and partly out of jealousy because of Alejandro flirting with her.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Alejandro's plan to eliminate Duncan in "African Lying Safari" leaves her stunned.
--> '''Heather:''' ''(confessional)'' Even I'm not ''that'' ruthless!
* FanService: Her boobs were shown in "X-Treme Torture", and her butt was shown (uncensored no less) in "3:10 to Crazytown".
* FemmeFatalons: In the New York episode where she slices open the prize apple with her nails.
* FormerlyFat: According to her younger brother Damien and Harold's assumption for her cold personality.
* FreudianExcuse: Hinted at in the first special.
* GoldTooth: Gains one after Leshawna knocks one of her teeth out in "Slap Slap Revolution".
* GrayEyes
* HartmanHips
* HeroicResolve: In "Hawaiian Punch", [[spoiler:she's on the verge of defeat when trapped in a cage she can't escape from until Cody implies that she's "the Good Guy". At this realization, she bursts out and goes on to defeat Alejandro]].
* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist by Her Own Petard]]: She previously threatened Lindsay with a head shaving if she ever betrayed their alliance again. Incidentally, Heather betrayed Lindsay in "That's Off the Chain", and Lindsay used Heather's own threat against her as a dare in "I Triple Dog Dare You", leading to Heather's TraumaticHaircut and subsequent elimination.
* HumiliationConga: In "I Triple Dog Dare You!" Gwen and Owen decided to double-team Heather with one challenge after another. Surprisingly, Heather manages to take all of them...until the final dare where she had to get her hair shaven. She attempts to reject it, only for her hair to get shaven regardless. To add insult to injury, because she never officially accepted the challenge, she was eliminated anyway.
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: She is hated by almost everyone because she either manipulated, insulted, had a hand in eliminating or left a bad impression on them. She even manages to alienate the second generation contestants in her cameo appearance in ''Revenge of the Island''.
* ImportantHaircut: Her hair getting shaved off marks the point where she is utterly defeated by Gwen and ceases to be a main antagonist.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: "Don't try to stop me! I've got gold statuettes and I am not afraid to use them!"
* IncidentalVillain
* ItsAllAboutMe: "I'm valuable!"
* JerkassHasAPoint: Calls Chris out on allowing Alejandro and Blaineley to cheat on the gross food challenge in "Chinese Fake-Out".
* LargeHam
* LaserGuidedKarma: Falls victim to it quite regularly in ''Island''.
-->'''Gwen:''' ''(in confessional, after Heather falls into the jellyfish pool)'' Sometimes, the universe just gives you a freebie. ''(looks up at the sky and gives a thumbs up)''
* ManipulativeBitch
* ModestyTowel: She is seen in one so often, it's almost a secondary outfit.
* MsFanservice: Invokes this to get on the show.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown
** Was on the receiving end of this twice, first from Gwen and then from Leshawna.
** Was on the giving end in ''Revenge of the Island'' against Lightning [[spoiler: with the million dollar briefcase no less]].
* PetTheDog:
** In ''Island'', she tried to calm DJ down when he got freaked out by her facial and joined his goodbye group hug when he was eliminated.
** Here's a shocker, in ''Action'', she gives Leshawna her wig as a gift to remember her by after she gets voted off.
** Several times in ''World Tour''. Examples include warning Leshawna that Alejandro was up to no good, consoling a heartbroken Courtney after it was revealed Duncan and Gwen had kissed, and giving Sierra a headdress and wheelchair because she sympathized with her being bald on national TV.
* PyrrhicVictory: In [[spoiler:the alternate ending]] of ''World Tour'', [[spoiler:she finally wins the competition and the million dollars only for her million to get stolen from her by a feral Ezekiel seconds later. She is last seen swimming away for her life from an erupting volcano with a giant boulder about to hit her just before the camera cuts away.]]
** In [[spoiler:the canon ending]] of ''World Tour'', [[spoiler:she accidentally throws Alejandro's effigy into the volcano instead of hers, making him the winner instead. She doesn't get hit by the flaming boulder at the end, however.]]
* RavenHairIvorySkin
* ReformedButRejected: She's not nearly as evil in ''Action'' as she was in ''Island'' (which isn't the same as saying she's turned good) but no one other than Harold trusts her, even when she is genuinely trying to help her team - in "Riot on Set," Gwen (her team captain) outright says that an idea being suggested by Heather is reason enough not to do it.
** In ''World Tour,'' this only gets worse: She's even less evil at this point, but the rest of the cast now seems to hate her more than ''ever''. When she is in the final three, she has literally ''zero'' cast-mates rooting for her, while Alejandro, who has been more actively villainous in ''this'' season than Heather ever was, has ''five''.
* RichBitch
* {{Schemer}}
* ShesGotLegs
* ShipperOnDeck: Of Gwen/Duncan and Cody/Sierra, but only to ruffle some feathers, she doesn't actually give a damn about anyone's love life.
* ShowerScene: Several during ''Island''.
* SmugSnake
* SocialDarwinist
* SpotlightStealingSquad: She is one of ''the'' most focused-on contestants in the series. She only goes OutOfFocus during the second half of ''Action''.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: With her mother.

* [[KidsAreCruel Teens Are Cruel]]
* TokenEvilTeammate
* TraumaticHaircut: Played straight when her hair was shaved off, but averted with her attempts to take Courtney's.

* VillainProtagonist: Is arguably the most focused-on character in the series.
* VocalEvolution: As the series progresses, her voice gradually loses the snobish tones it had in season one.
* WhoWearsShortShorts
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Sumo Wrestlers?]]
* WoundedGazelleGambit: In "Search and Do Not Destroy", to break up Gwen and Trent, she tells Trent that Gwen was being mean to her and she shouldn't be trusted in an attempt to gain his sympathy. To seal the deal, Heather kisses Trent in front of Gwen to make it appear that he is cheating on her.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: How she betrays Lindsay towards the end of "That's Off the Chain".

[[folder:Izzy]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screamingGopher_izzy.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Psycho Hose Beast]]
->''"Genius runs in my family... so does psychotherapy... HEY did I tell you guys I have an IQ of 188? cuz I do."''
-->''Voiced by:'' Katie Crown
Izzy has been described by those who know her as a "wingnut", a "psycho hose beast" and "some kind of crazy". For as long as she can remember, she's been a big fan of 'the witching hour'. Her parents once awoke at midnight to find 1 year old Izzy shaking the bars of her crib and howling at the full moon. They soothed her back to sleep with her favorite lullabies - horror movie soundtracks; the only music that relaxes her.
Being around Izzy is like being on a roller coaster - one that hasn't been inspected for safety. Some of her favorite pastimes include impersonating her parents' friends, burning things, and making up stuff that scares the crap of people.
There's no rhyme or reason to what Izzy does. For instance, a guy from her school remembers when Izzy stalked him for a whole week because she had a major crush on him. He also remembers how later she changed her mind and threw him in a sewer.
When Izzy heard about Total Drama Island audition, she camped outside a producer's front door for three weeks until he agreed to cast her on the show. He now has a restraining order against her and she can't come within two miles of his house. Izzy is willing to do whatever it takes to survive 8 weeks of camp and is definitely one to watch... she'll definitely make the highlight reel!

* CoolCrown: She wears one in her second audition tape.
* CuteBruiser: See ActionGirl above.
* DitzyGenius: Did she mention to you that she has an IQ of 188? Cuz she does! In ''World Tour'', a blow to the head makes her a super genius; however, she reverts back to her usual, crazy self with another blow to the head.
* DoNotCallMePaul: She demands to be called "Kaleidoscope/E-scope" during the first part of the second season.
* {{Expy}}: Of Lydia from [[WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}} 6teen]].

* FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome: Becomes a super-genius in the Jamaica episode but returns to her "normal" self in the second aftermath.
* FreakyIsCool: In her first audition video, she openly admits that she enjoys being freaky.
* {{Gasshole}}: In the season one special she ate 95 marshmallows, chugged some soda and burped louder than Owen ever could right in Eva's face. After saying that Eva could burp better, she burps loud enough to cause a small tidal wave in a pool. Naturally, Owen is turned on by this.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: She sobers up during particularly dangerous situations, such as the "Masters of Disasters" incident mentioned above.
* PerpetualSmiler: Aside from a few rare moments, she is ''always'' seen with some kind of smile on her face.
* ThePollyanna: Only someone as crazy as her would take being strangled by a snake in stride, even going as far as calling it friendly and referring to a bite as a kiss.
-->'''Duncan:''' Uh, Izzy, you've got a snake on your head.

[[caption-width:96:The Jaw-Dropper]]
->''"Okay, brain, it's all up to you. I know you haven't had a lot of exercise in the past um... sixteen years, give or take, but you can do this."''
-->''Voiced by:'' Adam Reid
From the moment Justin was born, he was a vision of loveliness. He was a test tube baby and his mother paid handsomely for that test tube. Justin has always been a looker.
As a child, old ladies lined up to pinch those magnificent cheeks. This led to him becoming a successful child model and he hasn't stopped working since. His grade 5 teacher had to send him to the principal's office on a daily basis just so the rest of the class could get some work done. His only crime was looking so darn good.
Justin's bone structure is currently being studied by the Italian branch of the Centre of Analysis of Breathtaking Feature. He's a straight-A student, but there is some doubt as to whether he has earned a single one of those grades.
Truly, Justin is more than a pretty face. He also has washboard abs. No, seriously, Justin is good guy and volunteers at a retirement home. The old ladies still try to pinch his cheeks. People just feel compelled to give Justin stuff for free so he doesn't have to work for a living like other mortals.
For this reason, Justin will be donating his winnings to this favorite charity, The Unattractive-Looking-People Wish Foundation. No one knows why Justin auditioned for Total Drama Island, and no one really cares... they are just soooo glad he did.
* AffablyEvil
* TheArtifact: The existence of Alejandro has now rendered his character completely obsolete.
* AttentionWhore: Particularly when he's [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]].
* {{Bishonen}}
* BeautyIsBad
* BigBad: Of the first half of ''Action''. See DiscOneFinalBoss below for more.
* BishieSparkle: Even his photos have this.
* BrainlessBeauty: He's actually pretty savvy, but he ''believes'' this to be the case about himself (see above quote, made when he believed [[BeautyToBeast his looks to be ruined by a black eye]]). Apparently he thinks his ability to strategize only work when his beautiful looks are in tact.
* CharacterFocus: He received significant focus as the main antagonist of ''Action'', at least until Courtney returned to the competition.
* DeathByIrony: Eliminated when the girl he's infatuated with manipulates his feelings for her to get ahead in the game, something he'd been doing to other girls since the season started.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Set up as the main antagonist contestant in ''Action'', but when we learn he's only smart and strategic when it comes to his looks and that his sexiness was having less and less effect on the girls he just became a whiny pretty-boy. When Courtney came back, it was pretty clear he had been replaced.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Has this effect on all of the female characters and [[EvenTheGuysWantHim even some of the guys]] when he's trying hard enough.
* [[SixthRanger Eleventh Ranger]]: On the Screaming Gophers.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: He has this effect on Owen, and then on Chef in the Total Drama Drama Drama Island special.
* FakeAmerican: He's Hawaiian but his voice actor comes from Ontario.
* FlatCharacter: In ''Island.''
* HelloNurse: A very direct male version.
* HumiliationConga: He gets voted off by his crush, Courtney, to whom he had just surrendered immunity and who seriously injured him during the challenge in question, including damage to his precious face. He can't even get the girls he'd been trying to manipulate for the entire season to acknowledge that he's leaving; the best he gets are some sarcastic farewells from the other guys. He hurts himself again getting into the Lame-O-Sine.
* InformedAttractiveness: Given the show's art-style he's obviously not as good-looking as he is in-universe.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He is genuinely outraged at cheating, betrayal, or other unfairness directed at his own interests, but he doesn't quite seem to grasp that other characters don't appreciate it when ''he'' exploits ''them''.
* TheLancer: On the Killer Grips.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Plays every time his sexy overwhelms the opposite sex ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] [[BiTheWay Owen]]).
* TheLoad: In the second season once he hits VillainDecay (i.e. when Courtney drops in).
* ManipulativeBastard
* MinorInjuryOverreaction: In ''Action'', he thinks he's become "a hideous beast" when he hurts his face.
* MrFanservice
* OutOfFocus: In season one due to almost never speaking, in season two his role as a villain was turned into an AbortedArc and in season three, they introduced Alejandro, and even in episodes featuring the Drama Brothers he didn't do as much as the others.
* TheQuietOne: See SuddenlyVoiced below.
* RomanticFalseLead: He becomes this to Duncan/Courtney in one episode. [[MurderTheHypotenuse With expected results]].
* ShirtlessScene
* SmugSnake
* SuddenlyVoiced: A variant: In season one, [[TheQuietOne he only spoke two sentences in the first episode]], [[TheVoiceless then never again]] until "Total Drama Drama Drama Drama Island." From that point onward, however, he talks as much as any other character, with no real explanation.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: In ''Island'', to an extent. In fact, he almost NEVER speaks in that season, aside from his introduction in the series premiere.

[[folder:Leshawna]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screamingGopher_leshawna.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Lively Girl]]
->''"Whassup ya'll, Leshawna's in da house!"''
-->''Voiced by:'' Novie Edwards
Leshawna is one bootylicious shortie! She is large and in charge and everyone else might as well pack it up and go home 'cause she came to win. She is as street-smart as they come but put her in the woods and the girl is like a fish out of water.
Back home she can often be found strutting the halls at her school, rolling with her girlfriends and giving anyone who throws attitude her way all kinds of trouble. While most know better than to be gettin' all up in her bizness, there's always some clown who didn't get the memo.
What Leshawna lacks in social graces, she more than makes up for in community service. She's a natural born leader, so she's always on the look out for troubled teens, which is why she volunteers three times a week at The Community Centre. To them, Leshawna's like a big sister. It's a role she enjoys since she wants to make sure they stay out of trouble and off the streets.
And like her high school homies, her surrogate siblings learned pretty quick that they can't pull one over on their Big Sistah! When one of them used her do-rag as a dishrag, Leshawna taught him a valuable lesson of how to check himself before he wrecked himself.
* {{Acrofatic}}: The show actually averted this at first, when she quickly tired out during the long run at the beginning of the third episode and didn't stay awake very long in the actual challenge. It didn't take long until it was played straight, however.
* ActionGirl
* [[AngryBlackMan Angry Black Woman]]: Not all the time, but her first appearance is a great example of the trope.
* BalloonBelly: Her "air baby" seen in "Full Metal Drama".
* BeautyMark
* TheBigGirl: On the Screaming Gaffers and Team Victory.
* BigBeautifulWoman: One of the fattest contestants on the show, she works her large measurements quite well, Harold is strongly attracted to her, and it's portrayed that he's the one reaching. Alejandro flirts with her as well, although he had an agenda.
* BigFun
* BlackBestFriend: To Gwen.
* DeadpanSnarker
* FatBestFriend: Type A (confident) to Gwen.
* FunnyAfro: In ''Action'', warm weather or contact with water causes her ''weave'' to somehow turn into a gigantic afro.
* GagBoobs: Her triple D size bra has been used as an surprisingly effective catapult.
* {{Gainaxing}}
* GoodIsNotNice: Only a couple of examples, though. First, her badmouthing of the entire cast in ''Action'' may count. The second example is when she beat Heather up for [[CassandraTruth warning her about Alejandro being evil]]. When we next see her after her elimination in ''World Tour'', she's ''still'' glad for laying the smack-down on Heather, even though she found out she was telling the truth.
* JiveTurkey

* SaltAndPepper: The pepper to Harold's salt.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: She gets focused on a good bit during the first two seasons because of her conflict with Heather; however, she gets eliminated early in ''World Tour''.
* TeamMom
* ThirdPersonPerson
* TooDumbToLive: In "Slap, Slap, Revolution". After she knocks Heather off the challenge, she gets so enraged that she accidentally threw the challenge to beat up Heather, rather than doing so after the challenge. This cost her the game. Had she stayed on her platform, she could have waited for Alejandro and Sierra to finish the fight and then, no matter what, her team would have still had three players.
* TookALevelInDumbAss: In ''World Tour''.
* TookALevelInJerkAss: In ''Action'' and later ''World Tour''.

[[caption-width:96:The Dumb Princess]]
->''"Can I have the cabin with the lake view because I'm the prettiest?"''
-->''Voiced by:'' Stephanie Anne Mills
Lindsay is proof that life is easy when you're drop dead gorgeous but to be fair, Mother Nature balanced things by making her as sharp as a frosted cupcake. She's also a Daddy's girl...and Daddy makes a lot of money. When he's not spending time taking care of this vintage Ferrari, he lavishes his "little chipmunk" with whatever her heart desires. Lindsay's Sweet Sixteen party cost more than your house.
Lindsay doesn't have much in the way of plans for her future. She just wants to spend all her waking hours prettying herself up for any cute guy who's willing to give her all of his attention.
Her hobbies include primping, preening, plucking and posing in any nearby mirror to make sure she's still stunning. Lindsay also loves to chat on the phone, on-line, or to whoever will listen. Generally speaking, anything that isn't too demanding for her brain.
Lindsay is surprisingly athletic - MVP on her high school gymnastics team. (And she looks sooo cute in the outfit!) Her teammates have to admit Lindsay's not just pretty - she's pretty nice too (like a can of soda, sugary sweet and effervescent). Because of this, her mother fears Lindsay will be taken advantage of by 'stronger' personalities.
Usually Lindsay doesn't like things like "work", or "dirt", or "working in the dirt", but when she found out about the auditions for Total Drama Island she couldn't resist being on TV so that her gorgeousness could be shared with millions of people. If nothing else, Lindsay is generous.
* BackstabbingTheAlphaBitch: In "If You Can't Take The Heat...", she helps Leshawna and Beth lock Heather in the walk-in freezer. Heather forgives her but threatens to shave her hair off if it happens again.
* BalloonBelly: She gets one after stuffing herself with bananas in "The Am-AH-Zon Race".
* BareYourMidriff
* BeautyEqualsGoodness
* {{Bowdlerization}}: The American airing of her famous cursing scene was re-dubbed by the original actress... very badly.
* BrainlessBeauty
* CatchPhrase: A very distinctive sounding "Ohhhhh!" when someone explains something to her or she has a major realization.
* TheChick: For the Screaming Gophers and Killer Grips.
* ClusterBleepBomb: Her telling off Heather in "That's Off the Chain!".
* TheCutie
* DaddysGirl: According to her ''Island'' bio.
* TheDitz
-->'''Justin''': Which way do we go?

-->'''Leshawna''': Can't argue with that. Wouldn't even know ''how'' to!
* DumbBlonde: Although she isn't a real blonde as you can tell by her eyebrows. One of the specials confirms her former non-blonde status.
* DumbIsGood: Her tension with Courtney and Heather really emphasizes this, but aside from those two, she is friends with just about everyone else on the show.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[{{Sixteen}} Caitlin Cooke]] and [[MeanGirls Karen Smith.]]
* ForgetfulJones: She's terrible at remembering names.
* FormerFriendOfAlphaBitch: Unlike Heather, Lindsay originally believed their alliance was a genuine friendship.
* GagBoobs: Though they're not really focused on, apart from her sometimes being unable to button or zip up certain tops.
* GenkiGirl
* HairDecorations / NiceHat: She is usually seen with something in her hair. Most of the time, it's her blue bandanna.
* TheHeart: For Team Victory; overlaps more and more with TheLancer as the team dwindles in number. Even after the team had lost half its members, she did her best to keep DJ and Leshawna from giving up. And after Leshawna was eliminated, she still pep-talked [[DeathSeeker DJ]] enough that they worked together and scored their first actual win.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: Played incredibly straight in "Rock N' Rule," although she gets much better by ''World Tour.''
* InformedDeformity: Her ordinary-looking feet are supposedly so big that she can barely fit a glass slipper onto her ''toe'' in "The Princess Pride".
* InnocentBlueEyes
* ImpossibleHourglassFigure
* LethalChef: She attempts to prepare blowfish and ends up poisoning Trent by mistake. He got better, but still.
* LittleBlackDress: She sports one during her solo in "What's Not to Love", although it's not actually colored black due to the song's ArtShift. It also serves as a ShoutOut to [[Creator/AudreyHepburn Holly Golightly]] from ''Film/BreakfastAtTiffanys''.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil
* MsFanservice
* MyNameIsNotDurwood: A very prominent running gag is that she constantly mispronounces other characters' names, especially if the person in question is her boyfriend Tyler, where she sometimes gets it flat out wrong, much to his dismay.
* NiceGirl
* PinkMeansFeminine: With some of her alternate outfits such as her sleepwear and her lioncloth in "One Million Bucks, BC". Also, in the prototype trailer for ''Island'', she wore a pink bikini.

* PopularIsDumb
* RousingSpeech: Gives one in "Full Metal Drama" to get the team to try harder in the war challenge.
* SarcasmBlind
* SitcomArchNemesis: To Courtney in ''Action''.
* SpoiledSweet: One of the nicest characters in the show, which makes the times she's [[BewareTheNiceOnes pushed too far]] all the more awesome.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: She gets focused on a good bit during the first two seasons because of her conflicts with Heather and Courtney, but she goes OutOfFocus in ''World Tour'' early on.
* StupidBoss: She appoints herself team leader partway through the second season. Her competence varied between certain episodes, but her ditziness remained a constant.
* TooDumbToLive: She accidentally eliminates herself in ''Action''.

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screamingGopher_noah.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The High IQ]]
->''"[[SarcasmMode Yeah, this is gonna work.]]"''
-->''Voiced by:'' Carter Hayden
Ever since Noah was in diapers and examining the nutritional content of his pablum ingredients, his parents knew they had a genius in their midst. Noah is a child prodigy with IQ readings that are off the charts, but the only numbers Noah is proud of are the high scores on his online video game competitions. He's the only one in his Underground Alliance who knows how to get to the secret 12th level of Dragon-Assassin.
His heroes are Newton, Pythagoras, and Kranthor from the game ''Kosmic Kaos''. With his multi-weaponed-fantasyland survival skills unchallenged, he auditioned for Total Drama Island hoping he could apply those skills to the real world.
While he's not remotely coordinated or athletic, Noah is clever enough to come up with remarkable theories of why he should sit this one out, should he be asked to participate in anything that involves more than mental acuity. He learned that trick in gym class.
He may have an active mind, but he sure likes to sit. He includes that as one of his favorite hobbies. He also likes lying down - and occasionally leaning. He knows he'll take a lot of heat for being the egghead nerd of the group, so he intends to beat them to the punch by unleashing an arsenal of sarcastic digs and put-downs. He's got a sharp mind and plans on doing some cutting.
Being the runt of a nine-sibling litter, Noah has found a way to use his brain over brawn with clever manipulation. He never got picked on in the school yard because he always knew how to draft some lunkhead into smashing somebody's face in if they got too close.
* [[BrainyBrunette Brainy Brunet]]
* BrilliantButLazy
* BollywoodNerd: According to WordOfGod.

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DeadpanSnarker: He's got the sharpest tongue out of all the campers.
-->"[[SarcasmMode Eeeeeee.]] Congratulations, you just peaked. It's all downhill from here, honey."
** He even manages to snark while singing:
---> ''"Come fly with uuuuus, come [[LastSecondWordSwap die]] with uuuuuus."''
** And while falling towards certain death:
--->''"But first we must cease dropping, our goal here would be stopping."''
* DeterminedDefeatist: During ''World Tour''.
* [[ADeathInTheLimelight Elimination In The Limelight]]: In "Dodgebrawl" and "I See London..."; the first time the extra screentime justified his elimination; the second time it revealed him as a threat.
* FascinatingEyebrow: His default expression.
* GoodIsNotNice: He's ethical but also very harsh.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: In ''World Tour'', he's eliminated after he is heard saying that he doesn't trust Alejandro.
* HeroesLoveDogs: He has a golden labrador back home.
* KnightInSourArmor
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: In "I See London...", he falls several hundred feet from the jet, smashes face-first into a bus, and then gets crushed by Owen. Once Owen (who is unhurt) recovers from shock, the following exchange occurs:
--> '''Owen:''' Well! That wasn't so bad, was it Noah?
--> '''Noah:''' ''(twitches a visibly broken arm)'' Mhm.
* NonActionSnarker: The cause of his elimination in season one.
* NotSoStoic: He's a lot more expressive during ''Action'' and ''World Tour'' than he was during ''Island'', one example being his response to the music-chime going off after everyone falls off the jet in "Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan".

[[folder:Owen]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screamingGopher_owen.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Big Guy]]
->''"This is awesome! WOOOHOOO!!"''
-->''Voiced by:'' Scott [=McCord=]
Owen's one big lovable tub of fun. He may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he has more pure optimism than an arena full of Maple Leafs fans during the playoffs.
Being the youngest of three boys really takes the pressure off of Owen having to do anything with his life. And since he's 'the baby' of the family, his parent let him do whatever he wants - which isn't usually much. Unless scratching yourself and eating things that make crunchy sounds count. In that case, Owen's an over-achiever.
If there's one thing that Owen likes more than anything else, it's his own smells and sounds. He really gets fired up about the things that come out of his own body. (Let's just say it's safest to keep him away from open flames after a bean chilli cookout.)
As a child, he once shoved his head into a fish bowl just to see if it would fit and got stuck. He had go the hospital to have it removed. (He did it again last week to see if the same thing would happen. It did.)
Regardless of the his faults (and there are many) Owen's got a lot of heart. He doesn't care who you are, if you like to party then he'll be your best bud. Owen's friends know him as "The-guy-who-will-do-anything-on-a-dare-especially-if-his-reward-is-all-you-can-eat-pancakes". This comes in handy for anyone who needs their dirty work done for them, because Owen doesn't mind getting dirty. In fact, he's proud to say he has a brown belt in Judo. (It's actually yellow, but he spilled some gravy on it.)
Owen auditioned for Total Drama Island because summer camp is just about the funnest place in the whole wide world - there's babes in bikinis, free food three time a day and your farts can echo right across the lake! Awesome!
* {{Acrofatic}}: Usually played straight, but sometimes averted [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe as per]] RuleOfFunny. For example, he was out of breath ''before'' trying to run away from the monster in the premiere of ''Action'', and it took him ten-and-a-half hours to run three city blocks.
* ArtShift: Whenever he tells a story, and during his musical number in ''Jamaica Me Sweat.''
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In "Jamaica Me Sweat" he states his intentions to break up with Izzy, one plane to the head and one jolt of hyper-intellegence later, Izzy is airlifted away by the army and ''she'' breaks up with ''him''; in the episode's song, Owen sings about how much he misses Izzy and regrets this outcome. [[TearJerker It's sadder than it sounds.]]
* BerserkButton:
** Don't make him hungry. [[TheIncredibleHulk You wouldn't like him when he's hungry.]]
** Don't harm Izzy or Noah in his presence unless you're prepared to deal with his PapaWolf mode.
* BigEater
* BigFun
* TheBigGuy
* CatchPhrase:
** "You gonna finish that?"
** "Awesome!"
** "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIEEEE!!!!!" whenever it looks like the plane is going to crash.
* CompanionCube: Probably in a reference to Wilson from ''CastAway'', he creates one out of a coconut after being separated from the other campers during a flood. The coconut gets voted off at the end of the episode.
* ExtremeOmnivore: He'll eat anything, dead or organic. He'll also eat anything that remotely ''LOOKS'' like food, which ends up giving him some extreme constipation after he ate an entire buffet made out of sawdust, plastic, and foam-core.
* ClassicalAntiHero
* CloudCuckooLander
* CoolLoser: Inverted. He is popular in universe despite having some pretty [[IncrediblyLamePun heavy]] loser traits.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud
* DirtyCoward: When he and Izzy were confronted by the psycho killer (actually Chef in disguise) in "Hook, Line, and Screamer", Owen threw Izzy at him and then fled.
* TheDitz
* DumbBlonde / FatIdiot: Somewhat subverted. He has shown at times that he is actually quite intelligent.
* {{Expy}}:
** Of [[Series/{{Survivor}} Richard Hatch]].
** And Chris Farley.
** And [[TheMole Craig Slike]] (especially in season two).
* FatComicRelief
* FollowYourNose
* {{Gasshole}}
* GentleGiant
* HeroesWantRedheads: Sort of. He's attracted to Izzy but is too frightened of her [[InsaneEqualsViolent violent and unpredictable]] behaviour to be completely comfortable around her.
* {{Keet}}: He's a much larger version of this.
* {{Kevlard}}: Briefly in "Greece's Pieces" when Cody tried to tackle him but bounced off his stomach instead.
* TheLoad: Occasionally, often played for laughs.
* TheMole: When he's brought back in season two, he's supposed to give the rest of the cast {{Conflict Ball}}s in exchange for the money to pay off debts from his mom buying a cheese cellar.
* MoralityPet: Probably the closest thing to one for Chris.
* NiceGuy
* PapaWolf: Even though he's usually a cheerful, friendly guy, if you dare harm Noah or Izzy, [[BewareTheNiceOnes you're in for a lot of pain]]. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Or laughter]]. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome But it's still pretty cool]].
* PerpetualSmiler: Except for a few rare moments, he is usually seen smiling.
* PingPongNaivete: Depending on the episode his intellect ranges from merely slightly below average to a [[TheDitz ditz]].
* [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead Showing A Maple Leaf On Your Shirt]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: Regarding his wilderness skills.
* SpotlightStealingSquad / WolverinePublicity: He is one of ''the'' most focused-on contestants in the series. He only goes OutOfFocus between "One Million Bucks, B.C." and "Get a Clue" in ''Action'' and after "Niagara Brawls" in ''World Tour''.
* TalkingToHimself: He has quite a few conversations with Trent, who he shares a voice actor with.
* TanLines
* TokenGoodTeammate: When his team is down to him, Duncan and Alejandro in ''World Tour''.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In "Beach Blanket Bogus" he advises Trent to try and help Gwen get ahead in the game, Trent decides to go about this by throwing his own team's challenges; when Gwen finds out she becomes deeply uncomfortable and breaks up with him.
* WackyGuy
* WideEyedIdealist: He tries to see the good in everyone.
--> '''Gwen''': Have you ever had a bad thought about ''anyone''?
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness:
** His second elimination in ''Action'' and his elimination in ''World Tour''.
** Chris, quoting the trope, attaches an explosive to his face in ''Revenge of the Island''.

[[folder:Trent]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screamingGopher_trent.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Cool Guy]]
-->''"I really feel I made such awesome friends here, it's hard for me to vote anyone off."''
-->''Voiced by:'' Scott [=McCord=]
Trent is proud to say that he just got his motorcycle license. He loves to RIIIIIIDE and can't wait to buy his own set of wheels so he can convert it into a chopper - just as soon as he gets his hands on some 'scratch'. Eventually, Trent's goal is to have his own bike shop where he can build super-cool choppers that are world renowned.
Trent has never gone out of his way to 'get' people to like him. it just turns out that way. He'd rather chill and get a good view of everything that's going on in they world. He's also a straight shooter, who tells it like it is. He would never say he's 'the cool guy.' (He doesn't have to - everybody says it for him.)
Trent is the kind of guy that gets the girls and has other guys admiring him for it. He's just too likeable to hate. His guitar and skateboard skills seal his status as one cool compadre. In his Junior High Graduating Class he was voted as "Most Mysterious and Irresistible". (It was later discovered that the Voting Committee was comprised completely of girls; all of whom dated Trent.)
Despite his good looks and easy going manner, Trent is smarter than he's given credit for. Though his grades don't reflect it, he has an IQ that is well above anyone's expectations - including his own. His Dad wishes he would follow in his footsteps and become an accountant, to which Trent has four words.... NOT - IN - THIS - LIFETIME! (Specifically in that order.)
Trent auditioned for Total Drama Island because it sound like a cool way to spend the summer... and hey, $100,000 would make a nice down payment for that dream chopper.
* AmicableExes: With Gwen.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: See the OutOfCharacterMoment below where he thought Cody was lying to him about Gwen in "Up the Creek".
* ButtMonkey: For a nice guy, he takes a lot of abuse.
* TheChewToy: Well let's see, the poor guy has suffered a concussion, been poisoned, put in a full body cast after falling out of a plane, landed on a fence post [[GroinAttack crotch first]], and finally suffers a mental breakdown. All of this is PlayedForLaughs.
* ChickMagnet: Aside from Gwen, Lindsay and Beth also seem to be interested in him during ''Island'', and after the break-up Katie and Sadie quickly start fighting over him. He also notes that he's "met a ton of chicks" since the relationship ended.
* CompressedVice: His weird "nine" obsession in season two, Harold says that Trent ''always'' had it even though it was never even hinted at in season one.
* CrazyJealousGuy: In season two, see DerailingLoveInterests.
* DemotedToExtra: in ''World Tour''.
* DerailingLoveInterests: Through sudden, nine-centric SuperOCD. After the second aftermath he's not as crazy and in future episodes he and Gwen seem happy as just friends.
* EverythingButTheGirl: As a celebrity, he seems to be doing pretty well on his own.
* GreenEyes
* TheHeart: For the Screaming Gophers.
* LeaningOnTheFurniture: Whenever he's shown sitting, he almost always has one foot propped up on the chair.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: He got better, but only after they broke up.
* MrFanservice
* NiceGuy: As long as he isn't stressed out.
* OutOfCharacterMoment:
** Threatening to rearrange Cody's face in "Up the Creek". Granted, he thought Cody was making fun of him at the time, but it was still strange considering how mild-mannered he usually is.
** Breaking up with a girlfriend via text message (from Justin's phone at that) in the ''Action'' special.
* OutOfFocus: Starting with his elimination in ''Action'' and throughout ''World Tour''.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Aside from his relationship with Gwen, he doesn't bring much to the show. His role in ''Action'' makes him border on a {{Deconstruction}}. When the only reason that he is there (Gwen) seems to be taken away from him, [[LoveMakesYouCrazy well...]]
* StraightMan: Until ''Action'', where his jealousy of Duncan and obsession with the number 9 rear their ugly heads.
* StandardizedLeader: On the Killer Grips, before he went nuts.
* TalkingToHimself: He has quite a few conversations with Owen, who he shares a voice actor with.

[[caption-width:96:The Wannabe]]
->''"Omigosh, hi Chris! It's so incredulous to meet you! Wow, you're much shorter in real life..."''
-->''Voiced by:'' Sarah Gadon
Born and raised on a farm, Beth is a sweet girl who loves her Ma and Pa and they love her back even more. She wants everybody else to love her, too. Just ask the students at her school. In an effort to make friends, Beth constantly makes a fool of herself in front of the whole school, but is completely oblivious as to what she's doing wrong. The problem is, Beth knows how to bond with cows and chickens, but she doesn't know how to socialize with humans.
It doesn't help that her closest sibling is Big Bertha (a pig she's raised since a piglet). Big Bertha has oodles of barn yard friends, so Beth tries to emulate Bertha's social skills, but they don't always translate to the human world. (Like rolling around on the field "snorting loudly" doesn't entice others to join in... Beth found this out at the latest Football Rally.
Where Beth does excel is the Arts. She's bursting with creativity. She received the Art Achievement of the Year Award for her full-scale replica of the Sphinx, made out of glue, elbow macaroni, and felt.
When Beth isn't socializing or creating, she's crushing on someone. The boys at her school usually know she likes them because she'll follow them around like an orphaned puppy and make them poster sized homemade valentines with pictures of unicorns running down the beach. They try telling her they're not interested, but that doesn't stop tenacious B. She just thinks they're being shy. Maybe one day Beth will figure it out. Let's all cross our fingers. (And let's hope she doesn't read this. She'd be soooo crushed!)
* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Harold and Justin in ''Action''.
* {{Acrofatic}}: This sort of applies, but she had enough clumsy moments that Chris played a montage of them in the ''Action'' finale.
* {{Adorkable}}: Her fangasm over Chris during the character introduction of the first episode. Not to mention Beth looks kinda dorky yet cute with braces and in ''Action'', she really looks cute in her green pajamas.
* BackstabbingTheAlphaBitch: She was the first one of Heather's "alliance partners" to tell her off and shot her with a paintball gun.
* BadassAdorable: In "Million Dollar Babies" and the third aftermath of ''World Tour''.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: See BackstabbingTheAlphaBitch above. She also exposed Leshawna's WoundedGazelleGambit when she said Beth's boyfriend didn't exist.
* BracesOfOrthodonticOverkill: She gets them off right before the second season.
* CargoShip: In-universe with the pole Bridgette got stuck to.
* CharacterFocus: She receives a good bit of development during ''Action''; however, she goes OutOfFocus in ''World Tour''.
* ChekhovsSkill: In "Not Quite Famous" she reveals her talent for baton twirling. Much later in "Million Dollar Babies" this (partially) helps her to defeat Heather in a game of badminton during a challenge.
* TheChick: On the Screaming Gophers.
* DemotedToExtra: In ''World Tour''.
* FunSize: Until Cameron's introduction, she was the shortest character in the series.
* {{Geek}}
* HartmanHips
* {{Malaproper}}: There's the quote above, and then there's this line which has shades of {{Metaphorgotten}}:
-->'''Beth''': ''(in confessional with Lindsay)'' Even though Heather can be really mean, that doesn't mean we should be mean back, right? Buddha says: "You can lead a sheep to water, but you can't make it nice."
-->'''[[TheDitz Lindsay]]''': That is sooo deep!
* MinionWithAnFInEvil
* NerdGlasses
* NotGoodWithPeople: She understands farm animals a lot better than people.
* [[NotSoImaginaryFriend Not So Imaginary Boyfriend]]: Brady.
* OlderThanSheLooks
* PintsizedPowerhouse: In "Million Dollar Babies."
* ShoutOut: She has a pink bathing suit that looks like a [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration 24th century Starfleet uniform]].
* TheSmartGirl: On the Killer Grips.
* StalkerWithACrush: Hinted in "Totally Interactive!" (the official website for ''Island'') to Cody.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In ''Action'', though not as badly as Courtney and others.
* UncattyResemblance: In "Top Dog", as part of that episode's challenge, she befriends a RascallyRaccoon named Mr. Whiskers that has distinctive markings around its eyes similar to her glasses.
* VocalEvolution: Her voice in ''Action'' is about an octave higher and more enthusiastic than in ''Island'', making her sound more like a GenkiGirl than a {{Geek}}.

[[folder:Cody]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screamingGopher_cody.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Geek]]
->''"I see the ladies have already arrived. Alright!"''
-->''Voiced by:'' Peter Oldring
Cody's an only child from the suburbs who's been spoiled all his life. While his ample allowance easily buys him every trend-setting, techno-gadget, teen-savvy accessory required to be on the 'cutting edge of cool', he cannot buy the personality required to back it up.
Despite spending most of his life in the local mall (since that's the best place to study teens in the throes of 'being cool') none of it's helped his cause. Unfortunately, Cody doesn't know any of this. He thinks of himself as the coolest-of-all-dudes-in-the-burbs (his words).
At his prep school, Upper Crust College, he is considered pretty cool (but that's only within a select group of guys who belong to the Albert Einstein Fan Club - i.e. all geekier than Cody.) So while he boasts about knowing the 'cool code' (he doesn't), and has devoted his whole life to studying and mastering it (not really), and totally scores with the ladies (all myth and no legend), his real strengths are in maths and sciences, which isn't exactly your typical 'cool kid' skill set.
Cody's confident he can "swing" with the cool kids at Total Drama Camp (his word, clearly!). His only concern: whether or not the cafeteria will be providing the four essential food groups. Just to be safe, he's bringing a doctor's note, because it's hard to be cool when you're worried about the hypoglycemic index of your diet.
One day he'll be cool, when he starts his own tech support firm and makes millions off the kids who peaked in high school (and slept through computer studies). Maybe.
* {{Adorkable}}
* ButtMonkey
* CasanovaWannabe
* CharacterFocus: Despite being OutOfFocus in the second half of ''Island'' and all of ''Action'', he receives significant CharacterDevelopment time in ''World Tour'', almost to the point of SpotlightStealingSquad.
* ClassicalAntiHero: He used to be a typical hero, but the third season expanded on his less admirable traits.
* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: In the Yukon episode.
-->'''Sierra:''' Oh, Cody! If one of us was to drown, I hoped it would be me!
-->'''Cody:''' M-me too...
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He performs well under pressure.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Not Gwen anyway.
* DoggedNiceGuy: To Gwen.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: His unceremonious defeat by Alejandro in the finale.
* ExtravertedNerd
* {{Flanderization}}: From a CasanovaWannabe to a [[SingleTargetSexuality Gwensexual]].
* ForgottenBirthday: His parents forgot his sixteenth birthday. Apparently as a result he forgets about his ''own'' seventeenth birthday...but [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Sierra doesn't]].
* {{Geek}}: Not that he's aware of it.
* GroinAttack: The most frequent victim after Harold.
* HopelessSuitor: To Gwen.
* HypocriticalHumor: As much as he dislikes Sierra's advances, he's still going after Gwen.
* InnocentBlueEyes
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: "Gwen is my dream girl. I'm just not her dream guy but hey, as long as she's happy I'm happy."
** He averts this in ''World Tour'' when he is '''''not''''' happy to lose his second chance at her to Duncan.
* NerdsAreSexy: According to Sierra, who had some RealLife inspiration.
* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: According to the Creator/CartoonNetwork website for ''World Tour'', his favorite place is "away from Sierra." [[DoubleStandard But doesn't this hair sniffer still have Gwen's bra?]]
* OlderThanHeLooks
* TheOneGuy: The sole male member of Team Amazon (although nobody other than Sierra ever remembers).
* OverlyLongName: Sierra reveals that his full name is Cody Emmett Jameson Anderson.
* ThePeepingTom: He tries to watch Gwen change into her swimsuit in "Up the Creek", and "The Am-AH-Zon Race" reveals that he owns a pair of x-ray glasses that allow the wearer to see through clothing.
* PrinceCharmingWannabe: Averted in ''Island'', where he stops hitting on Gwen once he realizes that she isn't interested in him, but played straight in ''World Tour'', where he pursues Gwen despite her obvious discomfort and the fact that she already has a boyfriend.
* PunnyName: His name is one letter away from "code." As in, ''[[{{Geek}} computer code?]]''
* SatelliteLoveInterest: In a way. Shortly after he finishes the IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy shtick in ''Island'', he gets eliminated [[BearsAreBadNews in a very painful way]].
** Then in ''World Tour'' he had two purposes: To be Gwen's creepy HopelessSuitor and to be Sierra's target of affection.
* SingleTargetSexuality: He's first seen hitting on all the girls, but he pretty quickly settles into being a Gwen-sexual. Meanwhile, he's the ''target'' of Cody-sexual Sierra.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He thinks he's quite the ladies man.
* SpoiledSweet: According to his bio.
* SweetTooth
* TookALevelInJerkass: In ''World Tour''.
* UngratefulBastard: At first, his only responses to Sierra's rescues were [[ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike complaints and insults]], but he starts to appreciate her around the time she [[TakingTheBullet takes a meatball to the gut for him]].
* WouldHitAGirl: He attacks Courtney during the final challenge of "Hawaiian Punch", [[ActionGirl she immediately gets the upper-hand of course]], but still.

[[caption-width:96:The Goth Girl]]
->''"If I win, I'm gonna buy Camp Wawanakwa so I can burn it down and turn it into a graveyard."''
-->''Voiced by:'' Megan Fahlenbock
The daughter of a single mom, Gwen was a latch-key kid who grew up taking care of her kid brother. That's cool with Gwen, because she likes helping out her Mom, and has tons of fun with her brother, too. Like that time they put a bunch of beef bouillon cubes into the community Pool. (At least the neighborhood's dogs were happy!)
The only other thing she's passionate about is her art. She can lose herself in her sketch pad for hours and her favorite hobby is to go downtown on the weekends and people watch. She's been told she's talented and hopes to make a career out of it one day.
Gwen's the loner of her school, by choice. She doesn't need to hang out with a bunch of dorks just to feel better about herself and the last thing she'd do is follow a trend. Maybe a Trent... but never a trend. (wink wink!)
In fact, she wishes she never auditioned for Total Drama Island in the first place. She did it on a dare (to humor her brother) because she never thought they'd pick her. But now that she's been cast she figures she might as well make the most of it. Her plan is to play this thing out to the end just to prove what morons they really are. Besides, if she wins the $100,000 it would sure make life easier for her Mom.
Gwen may seem tough as nails on the outside, but when it comes to her family, she's as soft as... well, a marshmallow!
* ActionGirl
* AesopAmnesia: In the second ''Action'' aftermath, she says she's learned to be "straight up" so nothing can "bite her in the butt" again. By ''World Tour'', she apparently forgot about that.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Eventually for Duncan.
* AmicableExes: With Trent.
* BadassUnintentional: When she panicked and kicked a psycho killer in the face in "Hook, Line, and Screamer".
* BalloonBelly: She grows a little baby bump after pigging out on the buffet in "The Big Sleep".
* BareYourMidriff
* BigNo: Twice (and both in slow motion no less), the first instance in "The Big Sleep" when Trent fell asleep, leaving her to finish the challenge alone, and the second occurs in "The EX-Files" when Courtney tripped her so she'd drop the alien artifact and lose the challenge for their team.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Duncan.
* BrokenBird: Until the end.
* BuriedAlive: Her greatest fear.
* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: When she hides under some grass in "Hide And Be Sneaky" and again when she gets stuck in a cave with Heather, Duncan, and Owen in "Are We There Yeti?"
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: In ''Action'' and ''World Tour.''
* CaptainErsatz: Someone on the official blog noticed that her outfit and hair matched Tibby Rollins' from ''TheSisterhoodOfTheTravelingPants'' in several places, as seen [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_en5Ks4pqqDw/S8OGVF0ejeI/AAAAAAAABHk/pHBlXrbIWgQ/s1600/GWENTIBBY.jpg here]].

* DeadpanSnarker
* DecoyProtagonist: In ''Action.''
* DefrostingIceQueen: During ''Island''.
* DisappearedDad: According to her online bio, her mother is now single.
* EasilyForgiven: Only by Duncan in ''Action''. He wouldn't vote her off and was impressed that she sabotaged her team instead of being angry with her. Averted by Courtney when she cheats with Duncan in ''World Tour''. Trent, however, forgave her in both cases by the time they next saw each other.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* EnemyMine: Gwen and Courtney's mutual dislike for Heather makes them bond in the first half of ''World Tour''.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[{{Sixteen}} Nikki Wong.]] Her design also takes some cues from [[CloneHigh Joan of Arc.]]
* EyeScream: In "Picnic at Hanging Dork" her eucalyptus allergy causes her eyes to redden and swell to a nightmarish size.
* FinalGirl: Parodied in "Hook, Line and Screamer".
* FreudianSlip: Accidentally saying she dated Duncan instead of Trent in "Newf Kids on the Rock". Made all the funnier because she was [[HypocriticalHumor talking about Heather's "obvious crush" on Alejandro at the time.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: Most prominently in early season one episodes.
* {{Goth}}

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screamingGopher_heather.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Queen Bee]]
->''"When I win, I'm thinking of my own spinoff series, "The World According to Heather."''
-->''Voiced by:'' Rachel Wilson
Heather has it all - looks, brains, talent - she could go on and on, but why talk about something that is so obvious!
Heather likes to keep busy with extracurricular activities. (Read: Be the center of attention and hog the spotlight.) She's School President (after several ballot boxes for her opponents mysteriously ended up in the boys' urinals). She's Head Cheerleader (but only attends rallies where the Year Book Photographer is present). She's Head of the Year Book Committee (to ensure that 'said photographer' includes only her best shots, and also to ban photos of anyone she hates.) She's President of the Debate Team, because she loves to argue but will only debate issues of personal interest (i.e. did you see Susie's new haircut? Can everyone say: '80's perm-gone-wrong'?)
The only place Heather is outranked is at home. She has an [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling evil younger brother]], Damien, who enjoys torturing Heather by booby-trapping her room and putting glue in her hair conditioner.
Heather would be mortified if the audience discovered her deep dark secret, but Total Drama Island has heard from reliable sources (her brother) that she used to be a fat, brace-faced style challenged junior high reject; something she overcompensates for now with a mean veneer and lots of makeup.
Heather hopes that her experience on Total Drama Island will open more doors for her so she can eventually attain her long-term goal of ruling Europe.
* ActionGirl: She has her moments.
* AlphaBitch: In ''Island''; however, she clashes with Courtney and Blaineley for the position during ''World Tour''.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Her younger brother Damien.
* ArchEnemy: To Gwen and Leshawna since the start, and Courtney in ''World Tour''.
* AttentionWhore
* BadBoss: Her treatment of Lindsay and Beth in ''Island'' was almost criminal.
* BaldWoman: From her elimination in ''Island'' to the ''Action'' special.
* BalloonBelly:
** In "The Big Sleep", her stomach gets significantly pudgier after gorging herself in a buffet.
** There's a segment in "Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special" where the reporters reveal Heather's ''astounding'' three-ounce weight gain, complete with a close up of a tiny bulge in her midsection.
* BareYourMidriff
* TheBaroness: During the first season at least.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Alejandro.
* BigBad: Of the first season.
* BitchAlert: Her introduction in the first episode beautifully [[http://images.wikia.com/totaldramaisland/images/1/13/HeatherArrives.png establishes]] this.
* BreakTheHaughty
* ButtMonkey
* CatchPhrase: "Ugh!"
* CharacterDevelopment: While she's still mean and manipulative, compare how evil she was in ''Island'' to how she is in ''World Tour'' and there's quite a difference.
* TheCheerleader: According to her bio.
* TheChessmaster
* TheChewToy: Probably the most consistent across three seasons.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She does not want Courtney to have Alejandro.
* CrocodileTears:
** In ''Island'', she uses this to break up Trent and Gwen, see WoundedGazelleGambit below.
** In ''World Tour'', she uses this to [[spoiler:get Alejandro to let his guard down]] during the final challenge.
** In ''Revenge of the Island'', she uses this to confuse Lightning during his attempt to [[spoiler: retrieve the stolen prize money from her]].
* DeadpanSnarker
--> '''Harold''': I'll have you know this is a selfless act! My lady fans couldn't handle the loss of this perfect behind!
--> '''Heather''': And by "lady fans", he means his mother.
* DeathGlare: Her default expression since she is easily disgusted or aggravated by almost everyone or everything on the show.
* DefeatByModesty: Accidentally does it to herself when her halter top comes off. However the distraction provided by this actually [[SubvertedTrope makes her team win the challenge]] and directly causes Harold's elimination.
* DefrostingIceQueen: A realistic approach to the trope. She's actually become progressively nicer over the course of the series, while retaining her obsession with winning.
* {{Determinator}}: Became this in "Hawaiian Punch".
* [[DoesNotLikeSpam Does Not Like Barbecue Potato Chips]]
* EasilyForgiven: Averted, see ReformedButRejected below.
* EnemyMine: With Gwen against Courtney in the second half of ''World Tour'', partly because Courtney kept throwing challenges and partly out of jealousy because of Alejandro flirting with her.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Alejandro's plan to eliminate Duncan in "African Lying Safari" leaves her stunned.
--> '''Heather:''' ''(confessional)'' Even I'm not ''that'' ruthless!
* FanService: Her boobs were shown in "X-Treme Torture", and her butt was shown (uncensored no less) in "3:10 to Crazytown".
* FemmeFatalons: In the New York episode where she slices open the prize apple with her nails.
* FormerlyFat: According to her younger brother Damien and Harold's assumption for her cold personality.
* FreudianExcuse: Hinted at in the first special.
* GoldTooth: Gains one after Leshawna knocks one of her teeth out in "Slap Slap Revolution".
* GrayEyes
* HartmanHips
* HeroicResolve: In "Hawaiian Punch", [[spoiler:she's on the verge of defeat when trapped in a cage she can't escape from until Cody implies that she's "the Good Guy". At this realization, she bursts out and goes on to defeat Alejandro]].
* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist by Her Own Petard]]: She previously threatened Lindsay with a head shaving if she ever betrayed their alliance again. Incidentally, Heather betrayed Lindsay in "That's Off the Chain", and Lindsay used Heather's own threat against her as a dare in "I Triple Dog Dare You", leading to Heather's TraumaticHaircut and subsequent elimination.
* HumiliationConga: In "I Triple Dog Dare You!" Gwen and Owen decided to double-team Heather with one challenge after another. Surprisingly, Heather manages to take all of them...until the final dare where she had to get her hair shaven. She attempts to reject it, only for her hair to get shaven regardless. To add insult to injury, because she never officially accepted the challenge, she was eliminated anyway.
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: She is hated by almost everyone because she either manipulated, insulted, had a hand in eliminating or left a bad impression on them. She even manages to alienate the second generation contestants in her cameo appearance in ''Revenge of the Island''.
* ImportantHaircut: Her hair getting shaved off marks the point where she is utterly defeated by Gwen and ceases to be a main antagonist.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: "Don't try to stop me! I've got gold statuettes and I am not afraid to use them!"
* IncidentalVillain
* ItsAllAboutMe: "I'm valuable!"
* JerkassHasAPoint: Calls Chris out on allowing Alejandro and Blaineley to cheat on the gross food challenge in "Chinese Fake-Out".
* LargeHam
* LaserGuidedKarma: Falls victim to it quite regularly in ''Island''.
-->'''Gwen:''' ''(in confessional, after Heather falls into the jellyfish pool)'' Sometimes, the universe just gives you a freebie. ''(looks up at the sky and gives a thumbs up)''
* ManipulativeBitch
* ModestyTowel: She is seen in one so often, it's almost a secondary outfit.
* MsFanservice: Invokes this to get on the show.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown
** Was on the receiving end of this twice, first from Gwen and then from Leshawna.
** Was on the giving end in ''Revenge of the Island'' against Lightning [[spoiler: with the million dollar briefcase no less]].
* PetTheDog:
** In ''Island'', she tried to calm DJ down when he got freaked out by her facial and joined his goodbye group hug when he was eliminated.
** Here's a shocker, in ''Action'', she gives Leshawna her wig as a gift to remember her by after she gets voted off.
** Several times in ''World Tour''. Examples include warning Leshawna that Alejandro was up to no good, consoling a heartbroken Courtney after it was revealed Duncan and Gwen had kissed, and giving Sierra a headdress and wheelchair because she sympathized with her being bald on national TV.
* PyrrhicVictory: In [[spoiler:the alternate ending]] of ''World Tour'', [[spoiler:she finally wins the competition and the million dollars only for her million to get stolen from her by a feral Ezekiel seconds later. She is last seen swimming away for her life from an erupting volcano with a giant boulder about to hit her just before the camera cuts away.]]
** In [[spoiler:the canon ending]] of ''World Tour'', [[spoiler:she accidentally throws Alejandro's effigy into the volcano instead of hers, making him the winner instead. She doesn't get hit by the flaming boulder at the end, however.]]
* RavenHairIvorySkin
* ReformedButRejected: She's not nearly as evil in ''Action'' as she was in ''Island'' (which isn't the same as saying she's turned good) but no one other than Harold trusts her, even when she is genuinely trying to help her team - in "Riot on Set," Gwen (her team captain) outright says that an idea being suggested by Heather is reason enough not to do it.
** In ''World Tour,'' this only gets worse: She's even less evil at this point, but the rest of the cast now seems to hate her more than ''ever''. When she is in the final three, she has literally ''zero'' cast-mates rooting for her, while Alejandro, who has been more actively villainous in ''this'' season than Heather ever was, has ''five''.
* RichBitch
* {{Schemer}}
* ShesGotLegs
* ShipperOnDeck: Of Gwen/Duncan and Cody/Sierra, but only to ruffle some feathers, she doesn't actually give a damn about anyone's love life.
* ShowerScene: Several during ''Island''.
* SmugSnake
* SocialDarwinist
* SpotlightStealingSquad: She is one of ''the'' most focused-on contestants in the series. She only goes OutOfFocus during the second half of ''Action''.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: With her mother.
* TallDarkAndSnarky
* [[KidsAreCruel Teens Are Cruel]]
* TokenEvilTeammate
* TraumaticHaircut: Played straight when her hair was shaved off, but averted with her attempts to take Courtney's.
* TheTrickster
* {{Tsundere}}: Towards Alejandro.
* VillainousBreakdown: When she gets eliminated in ''Island''.
* VillainProtagonist: Is arguably the most focused-on character in the series.
* VocalEvolution: As the series progresses, her voice gradually loses the snobish tones it had in season one.
* WhoWearsShortShorts
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Sumo Wrestlers?]]
* WoundedGazelleGambit: In "Search and Do Not Destroy", to break up Gwen and Trent, she tells Trent that Gwen was being mean to her and she shouldn't be trusted in an attempt to gain his sympathy. To seal the deal, Heather kisses Trent in front of Gwen to make it appear that he is cheating on her.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: How she betrays Lindsay towards the end of "That's Off the Chain".

[[folder:Izzy]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screamingGopher_izzy.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Psycho Hose Beast]]
->''"Genius runs in my family... so does psychotherapy... HEY did I tell you guys I have an IQ of 188? cuz I do."''
-->''Voiced by:'' Katie Crown
Izzy has been described by those who know her as a "wingnut", a "psycho hose beast" and "some kind of crazy". For as long as she can remember, she's been a big fan of 'the witching hour'. Her parents once awoke at midnight to find 1 year old Izzy shaking the bars of her crib and howling at the full moon. They soothed her back to sleep with her favorite lullabies - horror movie soundtracks; the only music that relaxes her.
Being around Izzy is like being on a roller coaster - one that hasn't been inspected for safety. Some of her favorite pastimes include impersonating her parents' friends, burning things, and making up stuff that scares the crap of people.
There's no rhyme or reason to what Izzy does. For instance, a guy from her school remembers when Izzy stalked him for a whole week because she had a major crush on him. He also remembers how later she changed her mind and threw him in a sewer.
When Izzy heard about Total Drama Island audition, she camped outside a producer's front door for three weeks until he agreed to cast her on the show. He now has a restraining order against her and she can't come within two miles of his house. Izzy is willing to do whatever it takes to survive 8 weeks of camp and is definitely one to watch... she'll definitely make the highlight reel!
* ActionGirl: She's taken down [[ScaryBlackMan Chef Hatchet]] at least once every season.

* CoolCrown: She wears one in her second audition tape.
* CuteBruiser: See ActionGirl above.
* DitzyGenius: Did she mention to you that she has an IQ of 188? Cuz she does! In ''World Tour'', a blow to the head makes her a super genius; however, she reverts back to her usual, crazy self with another blow to the head.
* DoNotCallMePaul: She demands to be called "Kaleidoscope/E-scope" during the first part of the second season.
* {{Expy}}: Of Lydia from [[WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}} 6teen]].
* FieryRedhead: So fiery, she is certifiably insane.
* FishEyes: Briefly in "Aftermath: Revenge of the Telethon".
* FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome: Becomes a super-genius in the Jamaica episode but returns to her "normal" self in the second aftermath.
* FreakyIsCool: In her first audition video, she openly admits that she enjoys being freaky.
* {{Gasshole}}: In the season one special she ate 95 marshmallows, chugged some soda and burped louder than Owen ever could right in Eva's face. After saying that Eva could burp better, she burps loud enough to cause a small tidal wave in a pool. Naturally, Owen is turned on by this.
* GenkiGirl: So genki, that she's even enthusiastic about getting poison ivy wrapped around her face as part of a challenge.
* GreenEyes
* HarpoDoesSomethingFunny: Most of her dialogue is improvised by her voice actress.

* {{Meganekko}}: As Brainzilla.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: She sobers up during particularly dangerous situations, such as the "Masters of Disasters" incident mentioned above.
* PerpetualSmiler: Aside from a few rare moments, she is ''always'' seen with some kind of smile on her face.
* ThePollyanna: Only someone as crazy as her would take being strangled by a snake in stride, even going as far as calling it friendly and referring to a bite as a kiss.

-->'''Izzy:''' I know. But don't worry. He's friendly! (''the snake bites her'') See? Kisses! (''passes out'')

* WideEyedIdealist: Compared to the other female contestants.

[[caption-width:96:The Jaw-Dropper]]
->''"Okay, brain, it's all up to you. I know you haven't had a lot of exercise in the past um... sixteen years, give or take, but you can do this."''
-->''Voiced by:'' Adam Reid
From the moment Justin was born, he was a vision of loveliness. He was a test tube baby and his mother paid handsomely for that test tube. Justin has always been a looker.
As a child, old ladies lined up to pinch those magnificent cheeks. This led to him becoming a successful child model and he hasn't stopped working since. His grade 5 teacher had to send him to the principal's office on a daily basis just so the rest of the class could get some work done. His only crime was looking so darn good.
Justin's bone structure is currently being studied by the Italian branch of the Centre of Analysis of Breathtaking Feature. He's a straight-A student, but there is some doubt as to whether he has earned a single one of those grades.
Truly, Justin is more than a pretty face. He also has washboard abs. No, seriously, Justin is good guy and volunteers at a retirement home. The old ladies still try to pinch his cheeks. People just feel compelled to give Justin stuff for free so he doesn't have to work for a living like other mortals.
For this reason, Justin will be donating his winnings to this favorite charity, The Unattractive-Looking-People Wish Foundation. No one knows why Justin auditioned for Total Drama Island, and no one really cares... they are just soooo glad he did.
* AffablyEvil
* TheArtifact: The existence of Alejandro has now rendered his character completely obsolete.
* AttentionWhore: Particularly when he's [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]].
* {{Bishonen}}
* BeautyIsBad
* BigBad: Of the first half of ''Action''. See DiscOneFinalBoss below for more.
* BishieSparkle: Even his photos have this.
* BrainlessBeauty: He's actually pretty savvy, but he ''believes'' this to be the case about himself (see above quote, made when he believed [[BeautyToBeast his looks to be ruined by a black eye]]). Apparently he thinks his ability to strategize only work when his beautiful looks are in tact.
* CharacterFocus: He received significant focus as the main antagonist of ''Action'', at least until Courtney returned to the competition.
* DeathByIrony: Eliminated when the girl he's infatuated with manipulates his feelings for her to get ahead in the game, something he'd been doing to other girls since the season started.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Set up as the main antagonist contestant in ''Action'', but when we learn he's only smart and strategic when it comes to his looks and that his sexiness was having less and less effect on the girls he just became a whiny pretty-boy. When Courtney came back, it was pretty clear he had been replaced.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Has this effect on all of the female characters and [[EvenTheGuysWantHim even some of the guys]] when he's trying hard enough.
* [[SixthRanger Eleventh Ranger]]: On the Screaming Gophers.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: He has this effect on Owen, and then on Chef in the Total Drama Drama Drama Island special.
* FakeAmerican: He's Hawaiian but his voice actor comes from Ontario.
* FlatCharacter: In ''Island.''
* HelloNurse: A very direct male version.
* HumiliationConga: He gets voted off by his crush, Courtney, to whom he had just surrendered immunity and who seriously injured him during the challenge in question, including damage to his precious face. He can't even get the girls he'd been trying to manipulate for the entire season to acknowledge that he's leaving; the best he gets are some sarcastic farewells from the other guys. He hurts himself again getting into the Lame-O-Sine.
* InformedAttractiveness: Given the show's art-style he's obviously not as good-looking as he is in-universe.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He is genuinely outraged at cheating, betrayal, or other unfairness directed at his own interests, but he doesn't quite seem to grasp that other characters don't appreciate it when ''he'' exploits ''them''.
* TheLancer: On the Killer Grips.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Plays every time his sexy overwhelms the opposite sex ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] [[BiTheWay Owen]]).
* TheLoad: In the second season once he hits VillainDecay (i.e. when Courtney drops in).
* ManipulativeBastard
* MinorInjuryOverreaction: In ''Action'', he thinks he's become "a hideous beast" when he hurts his face.
* MrFanservice
* OutOfFocus: In season one due to almost never speaking, in season two his role as a villain was turned into an AbortedArc and in season three, they introduced Alejandro, and even in episodes featuring the Drama Brothers he didn't do as much as the others.
* TheQuietOne: See SuddenlyVoiced below.
* RomanticFalseLead: He becomes this to Duncan/Courtney in one episode. [[MurderTheHypotenuse With expected results]].
* ShirtlessScene
* SmugSnake
* SuddenlyVoiced: A variant: In season one, [[TheQuietOne he only spoke two sentences in the first episode]], [[TheVoiceless then never again]] until "Total Drama Drama Drama Drama Island." From that point onward, however, he talks as much as any other character, with no real explanation.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: In ''Island'', to an extent. In fact, he almost NEVER speaks in that season, aside from his introduction in the series premiere.

[[folder:Leshawna]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screamingGopher_leshawna.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Lively Girl]]
->''"Whassup ya'll, Leshawna's in da house!"''
-->''Voiced by:'' Novie Edwards
Leshawna is one bootylicious shortie! She is large and in charge and everyone else might as well pack it up and go home 'cause she came to win. She is as street-smart as they come but put her in the woods and the girl is like a fish out of water.
Back home she can often be found strutting the halls at her school, rolling with her girlfriends and giving anyone who throws attitude her way all kinds of trouble. While most know better than to be gettin' all up in her bizness, there's always some clown who didn't get the memo.
What Leshawna lacks in social graces, she more than makes up for in community service. She's a natural born leader, so she's always on the look out for troubled teens, which is why she volunteers three times a week at The Community Centre. To them, Leshawna's like a big sister. It's a role she enjoys since she wants to make sure they stay out of trouble and off the streets.
And like her high school homies, her surrogate siblings learned pretty quick that they can't pull one over on their Big Sistah! When one of them used her do-rag as a dishrag, Leshawna taught him a valuable lesson of how to check himself before he wrecked himself.
* {{Acrofatic}}: The show actually averted this at first, when she quickly tired out during the long run at the beginning of the third episode and didn't stay awake very long in the actual challenge. It didn't take long until it was played straight, however.
* ActionGirl
* [[AngryBlackMan Angry Black Woman]]: Not all the time, but her first appearance is a great example of the trope.
* BalloonBelly: Her "air baby" seen in "Full Metal Drama".
* BeautyMark
* TheBigGirl: On the Screaming Gaffers and Team Victory.
* BigBeautifulWoman: One of the fattest contestants on the show, she works her large measurements quite well, Harold is strongly attracted to her, and it's portrayed that he's the one reaching. Alejandro flirts with her as well, although he had an agenda.
* BigFun
* BlackBestFriend: To Gwen.
* DeadpanSnarker
* FatBestFriend: Type A (confident) to Gwen.
* FunnyAfro: In ''Action'', warm weather or contact with water causes her ''weave'' to somehow turn into a gigantic afro.
* GagBoobs: Her triple D size bra has been used as an surprisingly effective catapult.
* {{Gainaxing}}
* GoodIsNotNice: Only a couple of examples, though. First, her badmouthing of the entire cast in ''Action'' may count. The second example is when she beat Heather up for [[CassandraTruth warning her about Alejandro being evil]]. When we next see her after her elimination in ''World Tour'', she's ''still'' glad for laying the smack-down on Heather, even though she found out she was telling the truth.
* JiveTurkey
* LargeHam
* MamaBear
* TheNicknamer: She even rattles them all off to motivate her team in ''Action''.
* PragmaticHero
* SaltAndPepper: The pepper to Harold's salt.
* SassyBlackWoman
* SmallNameBigEgo: Regarding her dance skills.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: She gets focused on a good bit during the first two seasons because of her conflict with Heather; however, she gets eliminated early in ''World Tour''.
* TeamMom
* ThirdPersonPerson
* TooDumbToLive: In "Slap, Slap, Revolution". After she knocks Heather off the challenge, she gets so enraged that she accidentally threw the challenge to beat up Heather, rather than doing so after the challenge. This cost her the game. Had she stayed on her platform, she could have waited for Alejandro and Sierra to finish the fight and then, no matter what, her team would have still had three players.
* TookALevelInDumbAss: In ''World Tour''.
* TookALevelInJerkAss: In ''Action'' and later ''World Tour''.
* WhatTheHellHero: Her teammates are understandably upset when her WoundedGazelleGambit and [[KickTheDog trash-talking]] are brought to light in "Masters of Disasters".

[[caption-width:96:The Dumb Princess]]
->''"Can I have the cabin with the lake view because I'm the prettiest?"''
-->''Voiced by:'' Stephanie Anne Mills
Lindsay is proof that life is easy when you're drop dead gorgeous but to be fair, Mother Nature balanced things by making her as sharp as a frosted cupcake. She's also a Daddy's girl...and Daddy makes a lot of money. When he's not spending time taking care of this vintage Ferrari, he lavishes his "little chipmunk" with whatever her heart desires. Lindsay's Sweet Sixteen party cost more than your house.
Lindsay doesn't have much in the way of plans for her future. She just wants to spend all her waking hours prettying herself up for any cute guy who's willing to give her all of his attention.
Her hobbies include primping, preening, plucking and posing in any nearby mirror to make sure she's still stunning. Lindsay also loves to chat on the phone, on-line, or to whoever will listen. Generally speaking, anything that isn't too demanding for her brain.
Lindsay is surprisingly athletic - MVP on her high school gymnastics team. (And she looks sooo cute in the outfit!) Her teammates have to admit Lindsay's not just pretty - she's pretty nice too (like a can of soda, sugary sweet and effervescent). Because of this, her mother fears Lindsay will be taken advantage of by 'stronger' personalities.
Usually Lindsay doesn't like things like "work", or "dirt", or "working in the dirt", but when she found out about the auditions for Total Drama Island she couldn't resist being on TV so that her gorgeousness could be shared with millions of people. If nothing else, Lindsay is generous.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: The American airing of her famous cursing scene was re-dubbed by the original actress... very badly.
* BrainlessBeauty

-->'''Justin''': Which way do we go?
-->'''Lindsay''': North is nice, but east is least... West is best!
-->'''Leshawna''': Can't argue with that. Wouldn't even know ''how'' to!
* DumbBlonde: Although she isn't a real blonde as you can tell by her eyebrows. One of the specials confirms her former non-blonde status.
* DumbIsGood: Her tension with Courtney and Heather really emphasizes this, but aside from those two, she is friends with just about everyone else on the show.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[{{Sixteen}} Caitlin Cooke]] and [[MeanGirls Karen Smith.]]

* HairDecorations / NiceHat: She is usually seen with something in her hair. Most of the time, it's her blue bandanna.
* TheHeart: For Team Victory; overlaps more and more with TheLancer as the team dwindles in number.

* HollywoodToneDeaf: Played incredibly straight in "Rock N' Rule," although she gets much better by ''World Tour.''

* LethalChef: She attempts to prepare blowfish and ends up poisoning Trent by mistake. He got better, but still.
* LittleBlackDress: She sports one during her solo in "What's Not to Love", although it's not actually colored black due to the song's ArtShift. It also serves as a ShoutOut to [[Creator/AudreyHepburn Holly Golightly]] from ''Film/BreakfastAtTiffanys''.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil

* SpotlightStealingSquad: She gets focused on a good bit during the first two seasons because of her conflicts with Heather and Courtney, but she goes OutOfFocus in ''World Tour'' early on.
* StupidBoss: She appoints herself team leader partway through the second season. Her competence varied between certain episodes, but her ditziness remained a constant.

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screamingGopher_noah.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The High IQ]]
->''"[[SarcasmMode Yeah, this is gonna work.]]"''
-->''Voiced by:'' Carter Hayden
Ever since Noah was in diapers and examining the nutritional content of his pablum ingredients, his parents knew they had a genius in their midst. Noah is a child prodigy with IQ readings that are off the charts, but the only numbers Noah is proud of are the high scores on his online video game competitions. He's the only one in his Underground Alliance who knows how to get to the secret 12th level of Dragon-Assassin.
His heroes are Newton, Pythagoras, and Kranthor from the game ''Kosmic Kaos''. With his multi-weaponed-fantasyland survival skills unchallenged, he auditioned for Total Drama Island hoping he could apply those skills to the real world.
While he's not remotely coordinated or athletic, Noah is clever enough to come up with remarkable theories of why he should sit this one out, should he be asked to participate in anything that involves more than mental acuity. He learned that trick in gym class.
He may have an active mind, but he sure likes to sit. He includes that as one of his favorite hobbies. He also likes lying down - and occasionally leaning. He knows he'll take a lot of heat for being the egghead nerd of the group, so he intends to beat them to the punch by unleashing an arsenal of sarcastic digs and put-downs. He's got a sharp mind and plans on doing some cutting.
Being the runt of a nine-sibling litter, Noah has found a way to use his brain over brawn with clever manipulation. He never got picked on in the school yard because he always knew how to draft some lunkhead into smashing somebody's face in if they got too close.
* [[BrainyBrunette Brainy Brunet]]
* BrilliantButLazy

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DeadpanSnarker: He's got the sharpest tongue out of all the campers.
-->"[[SarcasmMode Eeeeeee.]] Congratulations, you just peaked. It's all downhill from here, honey."
** He even manages to snark while singing:
---> ''"Come fly with uuuuus, come [[LastSecondWordSwap die]] with uuuuuus."''
** And while falling towards certain death:
--->''"But first we must cease dropping, our goal here would be stopping."''
* DeterminedDefeatist: During ''World Tour''.
* [[ADeathInTheLimelight Elimination In The Limelight]]: In "Dodgebrawl" and "I See London..."; the first time the extra screentime justified his elimination; the second time it revealed him as a threat.

* HeKnowsTooMuch: In ''World Tour'', he's eliminated after he is heard saying that he doesn't trust Alejandro.

* KnightInSourArmor
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: In "I See London...", he falls several hundred feet from the jet, smashes face-first into a bus, and then gets crushed by Owen. Once Owen (who is unhurt) recovers from shock, the following exchange occurs:
--> '''Owen:''' Well! That wasn't so bad, was it Noah?
--> '''Noah:''' ''(twitches a visibly broken arm)'' Mhm.
* NonActionSnarker: The cause of his elimination in season one.
* NotSoStoic: He's a lot more expressive during ''Action'' and ''World Tour'' than he was during ''Island'', one example being his response to the music-chime going off after everyone falls off the jet in "Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan".

[[folder:Owen]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screamingGopher_owen.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Big Guy]]
->''"This is awesome! WOOOHOOO!!"''
-->''Voiced by:'' Scott [=McCord=]
Owen's one big lovable tub of fun. He may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he has more pure optimism than an arena full of Maple Leafs fans during the playoffs.
Being the youngest of three boys really takes the pressure off of Owen having to do anything with his life. And since he's 'the baby' of the family, his parent let him do whatever he wants - which isn't usually much. Unless scratching yourself and eating things that make crunchy sounds count. In that case, Owen's an over-achiever.
If there's one thing that Owen likes more than anything else, it's his own smells and sounds. He really gets fired up about the things that come out of his own body. (Let's just say it's safest to keep him away from open flames after a bean chilli cookout.)
As a child, he once shoved his head into a fish bowl just to see if it would fit and got stuck. He had go the hospital to have it removed. (He did it again last week to see if the same thing would happen. It did.)
Regardless of the his faults (and there are many) Owen's got a lot of heart. He doesn't care who you are, if you like to party then he'll be your best bud. Owen's friends know him as "The-guy-who-will-do-anything-on-a-dare-especially-if-his-reward-is-all-you-can-eat-pancakes". This comes in handy for anyone who needs their dirty work done for them, because Owen doesn't mind getting dirty. In fact, he's proud to say he has a brown belt in Judo. (It's actually yellow, but he spilled some gravy on it.)
Owen auditioned for Total Drama Island because summer camp is just about the funnest place in the whole wide world - there's babes in bikinis, free food three time a day and your farts can echo right across the lake! Awesome!
* {{Acrofatic}}: Usually played straight, but sometimes averted [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe as per]] RuleOfFunny. For example, he was out of breath ''before'' trying to run away from the monster in the premiere of ''Action'', and it took him ten-and-a-half hours to run three city blocks.
* ArtShift: Whenever he tells a story, and during his musical number in ''Jamaica Me Sweat.''
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In "Jamaica Me Sweat" he states his intentions to break up with Izzy, one plane to the head and one jolt of hyper-intellegence later, Izzy is airlifted away by the army and ''she'' breaks up with ''him''; in the episode's song, Owen sings about how much he misses Izzy and regrets this outcome. [[TearJerker It's sadder than it sounds.]]
* BerserkButton:
** Don't make him hungry. [[TheIncredibleHulk You wouldn't like him when he's hungry.]]
** Don't harm Izzy or Noah in his presence unless you're prepared to deal with his PapaWolf mode.
* BigEater
* BigFun
* TheBigGuy
* CatchPhrase:
** "You gonna finish that?"
** "Awesome!"
** "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIEEEE!!!!!" whenever it looks like the plane is going to crash.
* CompanionCube: Probably in a reference to Wilson from ''CastAway'', he creates one out of a coconut after being separated from the other campers during a flood. The coconut gets voted off at the end of the episode.
* ExtremeOmnivore: He'll eat anything, dead or organic. He'll also eat anything that remotely ''LOOKS'' like food, which ends up giving him some extreme constipation after he ate an entire buffet made out of sawdust, plastic, and foam-core.
* ClassicalAntiHero
* CloudCuckooLander
* CoolLoser: Inverted. He is popular in universe despite having some pretty [[IncrediblyLamePun heavy]] loser traits.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud
* DirtyCoward: When he and Izzy were confronted by the psycho killer (actually Chef in disguise) in "Hook, Line, and Screamer", Owen threw Izzy at him and then fled.
* TheDitz
* DumbBlonde / FatIdiot: Somewhat subverted. He has shown at times that he is actually quite intelligent.
* {{Expy}}:
** Of [[Series/{{Survivor}} Richard Hatch]].
** And Chris Farley.
** And [[TheMole Craig Slike]] (especially in season two).
* FatComicRelief
* FollowYourNose
* {{Gasshole}}
* GentleGiant
* HeroesWantRedheads: Sort of. He's attracted to Izzy but is too frightened of her [[InsaneEqualsViolent violent and unpredictable]] behaviour to be completely comfortable around her.
* {{Keet}}: He's a much larger version of this.
* {{Kevlard}}: Briefly in "Greece's Pieces" when Cody tried to tackle him but bounced off his stomach instead.
* TheLoad: Occasionally, often played for laughs.
* TheMole: When he's brought back in season two, he's supposed to give the rest of the cast {{Conflict Ball}}s in exchange for the money to pay off debts from his mom buying a cheese cellar.
* MoralityPet: Probably the closest thing to one for Chris.
* NiceGuy
* PapaWolf: Even though he's usually a cheerful, friendly guy, if you dare harm Noah or Izzy, [[BewareTheNiceOnes you're in for a lot of pain]]. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Or laughter]]. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome But it's still pretty cool]].
* PerpetualSmiler: Except for a few rare moments, he is usually seen smiling.
* PingPongNaivete: Depending on the episode his intellect ranges from merely slightly below average to a [[TheDitz ditz]].
* [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead Showing A Maple Leaf On Your Shirt]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: Regarding his wilderness skills.
* SpotlightStealingSquad / WolverinePublicity: He is one of ''the'' most focused-on contestants in the series. He only goes OutOfFocus between "One Million Bucks, B.C." and "Get a Clue" in ''Action'' and after "Niagara Brawls" in ''World Tour''.
* TalkingToHimself: He has quite a few conversations with Trent, who he shares a voice actor with.
* TanLines
* TokenGoodTeammate: When his team is down to him, Duncan and Alejandro in ''World Tour''.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In "Beach Blanket Bogus" he advises Trent to try and help Gwen get ahead in the game, Trent decides to go about this by throwing his own team's challenges; when Gwen finds out she becomes deeply uncomfortable and breaks up with him.
* WackyGuy
* WideEyedIdealist: He tries to see the good in everyone.
--> '''Gwen''': Have you ever had a bad thought about ''anyone''?
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness:
** His second elimination in ''Action'' and his elimination in ''World Tour''.
** Chris, quoting the trope, attaches an explosive to his face in ''Revenge of the Island''.

[[folder:Trent]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screamingGopher_trent.jpg
[[caption-width:96:The Cool Guy]]
-->''"I really feel I made such awesome friends here, it's hard for me to vote anyone off."''
-->''Voiced by:'' Scott [=McCord=]
Trent is proud to say that he just got his motorcycle license. He loves to RIIIIIIDE and can't wait to buy his own set of wheels so he can convert it into a chopper - just as soon as he gets his hands on some 'scratch'. Eventually, Trent's goal is to have his own bike shop where he can build super-cool choppers that are world renowned.
Trent has never gone out of his way to 'get' people to like him. it just turns out that way. He'd rather chill and get a good view of everything that's going on in they world. He's also a straight shooter, who tells it like it is. He would never say he's 'the cool guy.' (He doesn't have to - everybody says it for him.)
Trent is the kind of guy that gets the girls and has other guys admiring him for it. He's just too likeable to hate. His guitar and skateboard skills seal his status as one cool compadre. In his Junior High Graduating Class he was voted as "Most Mysterious and Irresistible". (It was later discovered that the Voting Committee was comprised completely of girls; all of whom dated Trent.)
Despite his good looks and easy going manner, Trent is smarter than he's given credit for. Though his grades don't reflect it, he has an IQ that is well above anyone's expectations - including his own. His Dad wishes he would follow in his footsteps and become an accountant, to which Trent has four words.... NOT - IN - THIS - LIFETIME! (Specifically in that order.)
Trent auditioned for Total Drama Island because it sound like a cool way to spend the summer... and hey, $100,000 would make a nice down payment for that dream chopper.
* AmicableExes: With Gwen.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: See the OutOfCharacterMoment below where he thought Cody was lying to him about Gwen in "Up the Creek".
* ButtMonkey: For a nice guy, he takes a lot of abuse.
* TheChewToy: Well let's see, the poor guy has suffered a concussion, been poisoned, put in a full body cast after falling out of a plane, landed on a fence post [[GroinAttack crotch first]], and finally suffers a mental breakdown. All of this is PlayedForLaughs.
* ChickMagnet: Aside from Gwen, Lindsay and Beth also seem to be interested in him during ''Island'', and after the break-up Katie and Sadie quickly start fighting over him. He also notes that he's "met a ton of chicks" since the relationship ended.
* CompressedVice: His weird "nine" obsession in season two, Harold says that Trent ''always'' had it even though it was never even hinted at in season one.
* CrazyJealousGuy: In season two, see DerailingLoveInterests.
* DemotedToExtra: in ''World Tour''.
* DerailingLoveInterests: Through sudden, nine-centric SuperOCD. After the second aftermath he's not as crazy and in future episodes he and Gwen seem happy as just friends.
* EverythingButTheGirl: As a celebrity, he seems to be doing pretty well on his own.
* GreenEyes
* TheHeart: For the Screaming Gophers.
* LeaningOnTheFurniture: Whenever he's shown sitting, he almost always has one foot propped up on the chair.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: He got better, but only after they broke up.
* MrFanservice
* NiceGuy: As long as he isn't stressed out.
* OutOfCharacterMoment:
** Threatening to rearrange Cody's face in "Up the Creek". Granted, he thought Cody was making fun of him at the time, but it was still strange considering how mild-mannered he usually is.
** Breaking up with a girlfriend via text message (from Justin's phone at that) in the ''Action'' special.
* OutOfFocus: Starting with his elimination in ''Action'' and throughout ''World Tour''.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Aside from his relationship with Gwen, he doesn't bring much to the show. His role in ''Action'' makes him border on a {{Deconstruction}}. When the only reason that he is there (Gwen) seems to be taken away from him, [[LoveMakesYouCrazy well...]]
* StraightMan: Until ''Action'', where his jealousy of Duncan and obsession with the number 9 rear their ugly heads.
* StandardizedLeader: On the Killer Grips, before he went nuts.
* TalkingToHimself: He has quite a few conversations with Owen, who he shares a voice actor with.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Mimes?]]
