''[[Total Drama Chris (Fanfic)|Total Drama Chris]]'' features all of the [[Total Drama Island (Animation)/Characters|original cast]] of ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|Total Drama Island]]''; however, due to [[Character Development]] and [[Depending Onon the Writer|the author's interpretation]], the following tropes are now in play:
 
==== Chris Maclaine, the ''Sadistic Reality Show Host'' ====
* [[Artistic License: Law]] - Apparently, he thinks the campers' contracts allow him to do whatever he wants to him {{spoiler|because he wrote that on them ''after'' the campers signed them}}. Chef rightly gives him hell for that.
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]] - Late in ''TD Chris'', he admits {{spoiler|he wanted to see the Killer Chrises dominate the game}}. He eventually comes to regret that wish after {{spoiler|the last Killer Chrises left in the game are both people he completely ''despises'' and is actively ''trying'' to eliminate.}} {{spoiler|Then they make final two.}}
* [[Butt Monkey]]
Line 10:
* [[The Gadfly]] - At first. He swiftly [[It Got Worse|gets worse]].
* [[Groin Attack]]
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]] - He's not the only one who can [[Loophole Abuse|take advantage of loopholes]].
* [[It's All About Me]]
* [[Loophole Abuse]]
* [[Manipulative Editing]] - As the host, this is on his side, right...? Judging from the [[Running Gag]] of him calling for footage to be removed or fixed in his favor [[Don't Explain the Joke|when it clearly hasn't]]...
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]] - The general confusion over how to spell his name is [[Played for Laughs]] when he names an arena after himself only to find they spelled his name wrong.
* [[Take That, Scrappy!]] - Becomes fixated on humiliating certain contestants, "justifying" his actions with this. In particular, he becomes so fixated on doing this to {{spoiler|Katie}} that he {{spoiler|tries to stage an entire challenge around humiliating her}}.
* [[Took a Level Inin Jerkass]] - '''And how'''. Must have done a lot of [[Level Grinding]] after ''TDI''.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]] - After a certain point, ''TD Chris'' becomes a never-ending spiral of vicious plotting and villainous breakdowns, leading up to {{spoiler|losing his hosting duties}}.
 
Line 38:
* {{spoiler|[[Hannibal Lecture]] - Claims that [[Manipulative Editing]] will make him into the victim and smear his victims because he's handsome and they're not.}}
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful]]
* [[Took a Level Inin Jerkass]] - This is not the "[[Fake Boss]]" Justin of ''TDA'', and ''definitely'' not the quiet nice guy of ''[[Total Drama Comeback|Comeback]]''.
 
==== DJ, the ''Brickhouse with Heart'' ====
Line 48:
 
==== Duncan, the ''Juvie'' ====
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]] - To Danielle.
 
==== Katie, the ''<s> Sweet Girl</s> Tomboy'' ====
* [[Berserk Button]] - She and Sadie are BFFFL, okay?!
* [[Divergent Character Evolution]]
* [[Elimination Houdini]] - According to Chris. He really doesn't like her.
* [[Groin Attack]] - Uses this a lot.
* [[Manipulative Editing]] - She's rather annoyed by how ''TDI'' was edited to paint her and Sadie so shallowly, ignoring ''why'' she was in every round of the Dodgeball Challenge, just for example.
Line 60:
* [[Tomboy]]
* [[Tsundere]]
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]] - Chris starts acting like she's a guy rather than a girl, though this is pretty clearly a blatant ploy on his part to annoy her.
 
==== Sadie, the ''Sweet Girl<s>'s Friend</s>'' ====
Line 69:
 
==== Bridgette, the ''Surfer Girl'' ====
* [[Elimination Houdini]] - In ''TD Chris'', {{spoiler|she's technically the first eliminated, but thanks to Geoff's [[Heroic Sacrifice]], she gets to stay on. Chris frequently reminds her of this, especially as his [[Villainous Breakdown]] progresses.}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Runner Up Takes It All]] - Comes in second, but gets promoted to co-host of ''Total Drama Alphabet''.}}
 
Line 96:
* [[Not So Different]] - From Heather.
* {{spoiler|[[Reformed but Rejected]]}}
* [[Unfortunate Implications]] - [[Deconstructed]]; it's revealed that she's had to struggle against stereotypes her whole life, and is ''extremely'' upset at being accused of perpetuating those stereotypes just by being herself.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] - She doesn't want to see her friends hurt by Heather again, especially Gwen. {{spoiler|So she frames Heather for something the 'old Heather' would have done.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Wrongly Accused]]}}
Line 113:
 
==== Owen, the ''Big Guy'' ====
* [[Creator's Pet]] - [[Lampshaded]]; in-universe, it appears that all of his fans are very young and chiefly entertained by... [[Gasshole|well]].
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]
* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]
 
==== Izzy, the ''Psycho Hose Beast'' ====
* [[Spanner in Thethe Works]]
* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]] - How Chris views her after she starts up her Aftermath-like special ''Total Drama Izzy''.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Uses her show to largely help the cast mates bury painful issues (Harold/Autumn, [[Le Shawna]]/Madison)
 
==== Trent, the ''Cool Guy'' ====
* [[Die for Our Ship]] - He's aware of [[Fan-Preferred Couple]] Gwen/Duncan and very, ''very'' worried about it.
* [[Protagonist-Centered Morality|Gwen Centered Morality]] - His 'Gwen is everything' mentality gets scary when he {{spoiler|throws away the key to the hot box after locking Leshawna inside, assuming they won't need it anymore... meaning he thought Gwen meant to keep her in there ''until she died'', '''and saw nothing wrong with it'''}}.
* [[Shallow Love Interest]] - [[Played for Laughs]]... poor guy. Also [[Played for Drama]] during the above incident.
Line 138:
==== Courtney, the ''Over Achiever'' ====
* [[Ambiguously Brown]] - [[Lampshaded]] by Leshawna wondering about it.
* [[Character Development]] - Rather than her performance in ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|TDA]]'', the Courtney seen here is aware of her issues and flaws and struggling to overcome them ''without'' going too far into obsession and undermining the whole point.
* [[Mr. Vice Guy|Miss Vice Girl]] - [[Pride]] and her strong desire to be as perfect as humanly possible.
* [[Odd Friendship]] - With Lindsay, which is interesting considering that in ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|TDA]]'' Lindsay is perhaps the person Courtney gets on with ''worst''.
 
The sequel, ''Total Drama Alphabet'', introduces a wide new cast of contestants, along with several interns:
Line 146:
Alistair Swan is used to living the good life. He's been taught that he's important, because he has money, and those without money only live to serve people like himself. But Alistair doesn't mind, so long as those beneath him remember their place in the world, and treat him with the respect he deserves.
* [[Good Smoking, Evil Smoking]] - He's a pipe smoker, but he's definitely evil.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]] - He is pretending to be a nice guy to get Mallory on his side so he can vote off {{spoiler|Katrina.}}
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]
 
Line 157:
Candice Kane has not lived a great life, really. She has parents, technically at least, though they don't really care about Candice or her sister, Candace. They both used to hit the streets together, though Candice has more recently tried to straighten out her life, and wishes she could help her sister as well. She still seems oblivious that she could use a wardrobe change, though most guys don't really mind. She's a sweetheart once one gets to know her, though that isn't often, sadly.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]] - first appeared during the Sesame Street challenge in Total Drama Chris.
* [[Hooker Withwith a Heart of Gold]]
* [[Really Gets Around]]
 
==== ''D'' is for ''Danielle'', the ''Mary Sue'' ====
Danielle leads a perfect life... well, actually, she is perfect. Even though no one really knows where or who her parents are, or where she lives, it's bound to be as perfect as she. Loved by everyone, except a few random girls here and there who were obviously jealous. Every guy wants her, which she likes, but she's a good girl who wants to wait for the right guy.
* [[Parody Sue]] - What she is intended to be.
* [[The Scrappy]] - An intentional example.
* [[The Woobie]] - She feels she is becoming one.
 
==== ''E'' is for ''Elizabeth'', the ''Murderer'' ====
Line 171:
 
==== ''F'' is for ''Frederique'', the ''Oblivious Hottie'' ====
Frederique Hitswell lives a nice life. He works out a lot, which is obvious to all the girls--and guys--who swoon over him, though it's hard to tell if he's ever noticed them. He often seems in his own little world, deep in thought. He's also pretty intelligent, but who cares, really?
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]
 
Line 209:
Leanne Ann Grump is against fun, and sees it as a waste of time. He doesn't care whether or not anyone at school likes him, since they're not important. If he can impress the higher-ups, that's all he needs. He completely despises his name, and will threaten anyone who does not call him "Lee," which he much prefers. Then again, he's not particularly strong or threatening, so lots of good it does.
* [[Cannon Fodder]]: [[Word of God]] says Leanne was only created to {{spoiler|have someone unlikable to boot off first.}}
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]] - "Call me Lee!"
 
==== ''M'' is for ''Mallory'', the ''Error'' ====
Mallory Lamy was introduced in Episode 6. Izzy has no idea who she is, but Heather found her and liked her, and... that's about all anyone knows, really.
* [[Noodle Incident]] - Apparently, Mallory knew {{spoiler|Katrina}} in the past, and something happened...
* [[Written in-In Absence]] - She was detained at an airport for at least five days, along with Heather, because they were accused of being Christian. Seriously.
 
==== ''N'' is for ''Nicole'', the ''Level-Headed Lesbian'' ====
Line 229:
==== ''P'' is for ''Percy'', the ''Sex Addict'' ====
Percy likes sex. It's that simple. Guys like him. Girls... have very mixed feelings. He's known to be a playa', yet he tends to get even girls who know to avoid him to want him. Izzy promises that Total Drama Alphabet will remain family friendly, however. Relatively family friendly, at least. Izzy does not promise any G-ratings.
* [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]] - There's a reason he's labeled the "Sex Addict".
 
==== ''Q'' is for ''Quincy'', the ''Quiet Guy'' ====
Quincy comes from a stable home, and he seems decently liked by classmates... at least those who remember he's there. A lot of them don't really remember about him, but that's because he's usually content in keeping to himself. He's not a particularly outgoing guy. He doesn't seem against it so much as just preferring to do his own thing.
* [[The Quiet One]] - [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]
 
==== ''R'' is for ''Rachel'', the ''Queen Bee'' ====
Line 252:
* [[Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat]]
* [[Evil Laugh]]
* [[Genre Savvy]] - He's Smart enough not to treat Hank badly in fear that he might betray him.
* [[If You're So Evil Eat This Kitten]] - Todd says he enjoys doing that.
* [[The Matchmaker]] - The only reason why Hank became his minion is that he promised him the girl of his choice.
Line 260:
==== ''U'' is for ''Ulysses'', the ''Army Enthusiast'' ====
Ulysses has always been fascinated with the military, and war, and the US Army, since he feels Canada's military history is boring and lame. In fact, he wants to become a US citizen just so he can join up. His parents worry about his obsession, and his talk of war, and fascination with it, and seemingly believing high school is literally a war. Everyone there, by the way, seems to think he's a little nuts, and prefer to keep away from him. Ulysses doesn't mind that.
* [[Extreme Omnivore]] - He actually ENJOYS Chef's horrible food as it is like what they serve in the army.
* [[Straw Misogynist]] - His mind seems to be trapped in the time of [[WW 2]].
 
Line 272:
==== ''X'' is for ''Xuxa'', the ''Stalker'' ====
Xuxa doesn't need anyone to tell her how awesome she is, 'cause she knows it! It's just too bad no one else actually agrees. Girls hate her. Boys hate her. Her parents don't even really seem to like her much. But as intelligent as she otherwise is, she seems cheerfully oblivious to the fact that no one actually likes her. She tends to get along with everyone, anyway, and gets big time crushes on boys. Boys who fear for their very lives, with the others feeling lucky they're not her target, as she tends to engage in stalkerish behavior, "knowing" the guy loves her back. So sad.
* [[Fat Girl]] - But she doesn't let it bother her!
 
==== ''Y'' is for ''Yancy'', the ''Backwoods Bumpkin'' ====
Line 340:
