TDWT Reducks Redux/Characters
TDWT Reducks Redux features all of the original cast of Total Drama Island; however, due to Character Development and the author's interpretation, the following tropes are now in play:
Chris McLean, the Sadistic Former Reality Show Host
- Bad Boss: So much so that even Chef has turned on him.
- Big Bad
- Laser-Guided Karma
- Took a Level in Jerkass
Chef Hatchet, the Scary Cook
- Catch Phrase: "Oh, I know," when talking to Lindsay.
- Odd Friendship: with Lindsay.
- Valley Scary Black Man
Team Amazon
Cody, the Geek
- Covert Pervert: Gwen with cat ears, anyone?
- The One Guy: Though as he points out, this is a pretty good position in a team made otherwise up of attractive, intelligent girls.
- Shirtless Scene: Is This Troper the only one who's noticed that he accomplishes both of the first two challenges by doing this in some capacity?
- Ship Tease: Mostly with Sierra, though some fans have taken him and Katie's recent Friendship Moments as this. He still seems to have a bit of a crush on Gwen, too.
Courtney, the Type A
- Love Triangle: With Duncan and Gwen.
Gwen, the Goth Girl
- Love Triangle: With Duncan and Courtney.
- Ship Tease: With Duncan and Tyler.
Heather, the Queen Bee
Katie, the Sweet Girl
- Dirty Mind Reading: Cody's dirty mind, specifically.
- Divergent Character Evolution: Sadie's not on the show, which allows Katie to gain more of her own personality.
- Hidden Depths
- Ship Tease: With Noah and Cody.
Sierra, the Obsessed Uber-Fan
- Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Though she still has a rather obvious crush on Cody, she's significantly toned down compared to how she treated him in canon. There's also a bit more of an emphasis on her fascination with the other characters. Most of canon!Sierra's Hatedom are quite happy with these changes.
- Ship Tease: It's not set in stone yet, but she and Cody actually hooking up in this story seems fairly likely.
Team Victory
Bridgette, the Surfer Girl
- Mama Bear: To Harold.
- Ship Tease: With Harold.
DJ, the Brickhouse with Heart
- Morality Pet: For Duncan.
Duncan, the Delinquent
- Operation: Jealousy: Implied to be the reason that he's hitting on so many girls other than Courtney.
- Ship Tease: With Gwen and Leshawna, though he's still together with Courtney.
- Took a Level in Jerkass
Harold, the Nerd with Mad Skills
- Easily Forgiven: Played with; he apologizes to Courtney for getting her kicked off two seasons before, but she just waves him away saying she doesn't care anymore.
- Otaku: During the Japanese challenge.
- Ship Tease: With Bridgette and Lindsay.
- The Woobie: Seems to be the general perception of him by the end of the Japan episode.
LeShawna, the Lively Girl
- Ship Tease: With Duncan.
Lindsay, the Dumb Blonde
- Bare Your Midriff: All her costumes are this, including her geisha costume and winter clothes (the latter were modified by her to include this as well as a good deal of cleavage.)
- Ship Tease: With Harold.
Team Chris Is Really Really Really Hot/Ugly
Alejandro, the Arch Villain
Ezekiel, the Homeschooled Guy
- Fix Fic: Given that he's the author's favorite character, it's pretty clear that a large reason for this fic's existence is to let him actually participate in the season.
- OC Stand-In
- Ship Tease: With Izzy and Bridgette.
Izzy, the Crazy Girl
- Ship Tease: With Ezekiel.
Noah, the High IQ
- Friendship Moment: With Owen.
- Massive-Numbered Siblings: As per canon, though here it's brought up as a sort of Freudian Excuse for his unfriendliness.
- Ship Tease: with Katie.
Owen, the Big Guy
- Friendship Moment: With Noah.
Tyler, the Sporto Who Sucks at Sports
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy
- Ship Tease: With Gwen.
Others
Billy Overbeck, the Executive Producer
- The Intern
- King Incognito
- Older Than They Look: Some fans think he looks too young for his reveal to make sense, but really it's a case of Your Mileage May Vary / Vague Age.
The Duck
- Butt Monkey: In a Badass, vengeful sort of way.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge
- Unknown Rival: To Chris.
