Boris is the average slovenly, reclusive, unemployed 20-something who spends more time watching anime in his basement than socializing. He has a combative attitude and doesn't seem to want to make friends, but does he have hidden depths? Probably not.

[[folder:The Killer Wildcats]]
!!!Christian - The Alpha Prep
Christian is the archetypal frat bro - a simple man with simple tastes. He spends most his days blasting shitty music, throwing parties, hooking up with immense amounts of girls, making freestyle rap videos with his friends, juuling, and sailing his yacht.
* AmbiguouslyBi: While moving in he kept mentioning "male-on-male bonding," and he made some... questionable comments about Kingsley in a confessional.
* TheCasanova: Isabella was certainly into him, as are Erica, Artemis, and [[EvenTheGuysWantHim potentially Kingsley]]. It's even implied he and Isabella have sex.
* {{Fratbro}}: In fact, the president of his frat.
* JerkJock: Somewhere between this and DumbJock. He ''is'' an asshole, but a lot of it is just cluelessness.
* PluckyComicRelief: Christian is one of the main sources of humor in the story.
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: He mentions that "Bleach Blaze" is his rapper name.
* ShipTease: Early on with Isabella, but it's abandoned for a number of reasons.
!!!Erica - The Former Queen Bee
Erica grew up surrounded by a crowd of [[AlphaBitch Alpha Bitches]], who were materialistic, vain, and manipulative. She is now attempting to reinvent herself by trying to be nicer and hanging out with more unconventional people, but old habits die hard...
* AsianRudeness: Erica is Chinese-American and not particularly friendly.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She attempts to be this, but isn't hiding the "bitch" part very well.
* EvilIsPetty: Erica targeted Isabella simply because she didn't like her and was jealous of her relationship with Christian.
* LovableAlphaBitch: Erica is hilariously transparent and rude, but has a sweet side.
* TheUnSmile: She often attempts to grin widely to demonstrate how sweet she is, but it always comes off as overly calculated and fake.
* TookALevelInKindness: This is her ultimate goal, though it doesn't seem to be working yet.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: She ''does'' save all her roasting for the confessionals, and is genuine friends with (most of) her teammates.
!!!Graham - The Gentleman
Graham is a peculiar individual who was raised by his grandparents, giving him a sophisticated attitude and a fashion sense like he's in Victorian England. He's a romantic at heart and a talented poet, but he's very shy and wants to expand his horizons on Total Drama.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Whitney doesn't even pretend to reciprocate his crush on her.
* AntiquatedLinguistics: This is generally how he talks.
* TheDandy: His outfit alone should say enough.
* InLoveWithLove: Graham's "crush" on Whitney implies this. He's also a skilled poet, loves reading romance novels, and gushes over Miles' relationship.
* NiceGuy: He's genuinely kind, even if his appearance and mannerisms put some of his teammates off.
* SharpDressedMan: Came to Total Drama wearing a full suit.
* ShoutOut: Graham's design is based on [[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing Animal Crossing]]'s Beardo.
!!!Isabella - The Local
Isabella is the average sorority girl - extremely friendly and outgoing, but lacking any sort of substance. She loves binge-watching Webflicks, posting all sorts of heavily filtered photos onto social media, and of course, hanging out with her girl gang.
* BrainlessBeauty: In a sense. She's not extremely stupid, but very basic.
* CameraFiend[=/=]PhoneaholicTeenager: Isabella loves taking scenic landscape photos as well as selfies, and pops out her phone to take a selfie with her teammates even after being voted off.
* TheChick: Played this role in her short time on the Wildcats.
* DreadfulMusician: Her karaoke to [[Music/{{ABBA}} ABBA]]'s "Dancing Queen" doesn't end well.
* GenkiGirl: Isabella is very upbeat and cheerful, which aggravates some of her crankier teammates.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: For her faults, Isabella is extremely sweet and overall means well.
* KillTheCutie: She's the first contestant voted off, mostly thanks to Erica being petty.
* ShipTease: Early on with Christian, but she abandons it for a number of reasons.
* ValleyGirl: A rare Canadian version.
!!!Kelsey - The Go-Getter
Kelsey is extremely smart, driven, and charismatic, and has spent most of her high school and college career swallowed by extracurriculars. She basically runs like a machine, but she's a lot less stable than she appears - on the inside, she's breaking down from all the stress.
* BrokenAce: In spades. Although she's extremely accomplished, she has low self-esteem and is constantly stressed.
* DeadpanSnarker: She's very witty, which comes with being as smart as she is.
* ExtracurricularEnthusiast: According to her bio, she was on the high school debate team, played volleyball, ran cross country, and learned French, and in college she has gone to China, interned in DC, and is doing philanthropic fundraisers.
* GoGetterGirl: Just look at her label.
* GoodCounterpart: Of [[Characters/TotalDramaKillerBass Courtney]] from the canon series. Kelsey is a lot more friendly and far less aggressive, but she comes with her own issues.
* ThePerfectionist: Perhaps to a fault, which is where her weakness lies.
* SelfDeprecation: All the time, though it's unknown how much is just her sense of humor and how much is actual insecurities.
* StepfordSmiler: Most definitely. She's very anxious, but covers it up with humor and leadership.
* VerbalBackspace: Kelsey is extremely prone to this, especially when she accidentally lets something overly personal slip.
!!!Kingsley - The Social Media Mogul
!!!Miles - The Angsty Musician
!!!Rachel - The Free Spirit

[[folder:The Artisanal Cheeses]]
!!!Artemis - The Performance Artist
An homage to the character of the same name from Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia, Artemis is a brassy broad who "lives her life in the world of the theater," but her alleged dramatic performances are bizarre, nonsensical, and often involve the use of drugs.
* BigBeautifulWoman: She's the curviest of the cast, but she's glamorous.
* CloudCuckoolander: Most definitely. Very few things she says make sense.
* TheHedonist: Artemis basically does whatever she pleases at any given moment.
* LargeHam: It's impossible to tell when she's doing some sort of performance piece and when she's actually being sincere.
* LecherousLicking: She licks Christian's face within minutes of arriving in the premiere.
* ShoutOut: As described above, to the character of the same name from Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia.
* TheStoner: She's smoked marijuana multiple times so far, and implies she was on stimulants during the first challenge.
!!!Boris - The Basement Dweller
Boris is the average slovenly, reclusive, unemployed 20-something who spends more time watching anime in his basement than socializing. He has a combative attitude and doesn't seem to want to make friends, but does he have hidden depths? Probably not.
* ArchNemesis: Seems to think Christian is his, but Christian barely knows he exists.
* BasementDweller: Word-for-word as his label.
* FatBastard: Boris is obese and not particularly friendly.
* GeekPhysiques: Take a guess of which one.
* TheLoad: Since he's extremely out of shape, he does little to help his team in challenges.
* {{Otaku}}: He's a massive anime fan, especially of the catgirl variety.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Talks like this, likely in an attempt to seem smarter than he is.
* SmugSnake: Boris is extremely condescending, which repels his teammates even further.
!!!Frances - The Journalist
The editor-in-chief of her college newspaper, Frances is always looking for a good story. She's generally quiet and introverted, but will gladly spy on her teammates to report something juicy.
* DeadpanSnarker: She's quiet and rather witty.
* IntrepidReporter: Frances fancies herself an investigative journalist, so she spends most of her time in the competition looking for stories.
* TheQuietOne: Most of the time. She's a lot more talkative when she's with Suvir or in the confessional.
* RedOniBlueOni: With her alliance partner, Suvir. He's paranoid and anxious, while she's the one helping him calm down and think realistically.
!!!Kaitlin - The Failed Actress
Kaitlin has dreamed of achieving stardom on the big screen since her youth, but none of those dreams have translated to reality - she's ill-tempered, volatile, and an alcoholic, and has no talent whatsoever. She figures Total Drama is a perfect way to jump-start her TV career.
* AttentionWhore: This is what sets her apart from Artemis - Artemis is naturally that odd, while Kaitlin just wants attention.
* HairTriggerTemper: She's extremely aggressive and can be set off by basically anything.
* TheKlutz: She's very awkward and gangly, though how much of this is real and how much is just her wanting attention is debatable.
* LadySwearsalot: Kaitlin really pushes the PG-13 rating of the story as far as she can.
* ShoutOut: Her whole character is a reference to Sweet Dee from Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia, and she was named after the character's actress.
* TheAlcoholic: She's almost always seen drinking a beer.
!!!Rhett - The Country Bumpkin
Rhett is a farmer who lives deep in the bowels of the South. He has many questionable hobbies, ranging from riding horses to cow-tipping to drinking over 20 beers and allegedly chugging gasoline, but he's always up for a good time.
* TheBigGuy: He and Rhett are "the muscle" of the Artisanal Cheeses.
* BookDumb: Rhett isn't the brightest bulb, and one line implies he can't even count correctly, but he's an asset to the team in many other ways.
* DeepSouth: He embodies this part of the country.
* GoodOlBoy: Most definitely, though his political views are unknown so far.
* ShoutOut: A certain line in his biography references Survivor's [[Characters/SurvivorSanJuanDelSur Wes Nale]], and he bears a slight resemblance to him as well.
* ThoseTwoGuys: He seems to have buddied up with Roald, and the two partake in keg stands together in the first challenge.
!!!Roald - The Extreme Sports Enthusiast
Roald is the cousin of Puck, from Fanfic/TotalDramaTokyo and Fanfic/TotalDramaSuperstarShowdown. The two are essentially one and the same, except Roald is a massive fan of sports and claims to be extremely athletic. How true these claims are is yet to be proven.
* {{Keet}}: Roald may be even more hyper and enthusiastic than Puck.
* LovableJock: Unlike the jock on the Killer Wildcats, Roald is friendly and outgoing, if a little weird.
* OddFriendship: He is attempting to develop one with Boris by taking him to the gym, with mixed results.
* PungeonMaster: Not quite as much as his cousin, but he makes a few puns, which naturally horrifies Whitney.
* StoutStrength: He's very pudgy, and how athletic he actually is is ambiguous, but he's at least strong.
* TheBigGuy: He and Roald are "the muscle" of the Artisanal Cheeses.
* ThoseTwoGuys: He seems to have buddied up with Rhett, and the two partake in keg stands together in the first challenge.
!!!Suvir - The Conspiracy Theorist
Suvir is your average conspiracy theorist. He didn't release too many details about his life to the Total Drama staff, as he believes they are a secret organization run by lizard people, so his bio is rather sparse. All we know is that he joined the show to escape the "capitalist hellhole" that is America.
* CloudCuckoolander: Some of the things he says and believes are flat-out bizarre.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Of course. For instance, he believes everyone else on the show is [[Film/TheTrumanShow Truman Show]]-ing him.
* FragileSpeedster: He ran track for five years, training him to escape dangerous situations.
* TheParanoiac: He's freaked out about even the most mundane things.
* RedOniBlueOni: With his alliance partner, Frances. He's paranoid and anxious, while she's the one helping him calm down and think realistically.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He leaves in the middle of the first challenge due to "bad juju."
!!!Whitney - The Ice Queen
Whitney is Fanfic/TotalDramaSuperstarShowdown winner Wolfgang's older sister. While Wolfgang was a DefrostingIceKing who was much nicer than he let on, Whitney is far different. She's dismissive, haughty, and aloof, and never pretends to be anything other than those things.
* AlphaBitch: Whitney is an interesting type of one, since she doesn't seem to be fake or snobby, just... cold.
* EarlyBirdCameo[=/=]MythologyGag: She first appeared in Wolfgang's video message from home in the TDSS finale. She was also a contestant in the author's scrapped fanfic from 2012, ''Survivor: India'', although her personality was slightly changed.
* DeadpanSnarker: Just like her brother, although she may have him beat.
* IceQueen: Naturally, as it's her label.
* TheStoic: She really doesn't care about any of her teammates' antics, and it shows.
