4
5[[folder: The Majestic Mesopotamia]]
6!!Abdi Mehraja (India)
7* BollywoodNerd: A mild case, he's tech-savvy at the very least.
8* [[spoiler: CheatersNeverProsper]]: Learned that pretty quickly.
9* DirtyCoward: He's very smug and thinks highly of himself for the "strategy" of cheating, but starts squirming the minute there's any physical confrontation.
10* EvilIsPetty: Thought Eun was annoying [[spoiler: and that that justifies rigging the votes against her.]]
11* MagicalComputer: His tablet, [[HandWave hand waved]] by him being a master hacker.
12* StarterVillain: The first contestant to use dirty tactics against unsuspecting competitors.
13!!Anna Johansson (Sweden)
14* DumbBlonde: A bit more subdued than most though. It's mostly obliviousness mixed with her very trusting nature.
15* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: One of the sweetest contestants in the game and no one doubts it.
16* HugeGuyTinyGirl: A dynamic she has in her friendship with Dmitri.
17* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The light to Rosa's dark as the two girls of the Axis alliance.
18* MoralityPet: For Hans since the moment she met him.
19* OddFriendship: Forms casual one with Dmitri later on.
20* TheCutie: Adorable and and positive, no matter how harsh the game gets.
21* TheFool: A classic example, fitting every trait on the trope page. She's very slow on the uptake and has no idea in the game, yet because of Hans' alliance [[spoiler: and later her relationship with him]], she's allowed to survive time after time.
22* TheHeart: Of the Axis Alliance.
23* ThePollyanna: Even Makoto can't keep her down.
24* TokenGoodTeammate: Subverted. While she is definitely the nicest member of her alliance, only Makoto and Hans are truly bad while Rosa and Da are merely passive, and not villains.
25!!Clara Fontaine (France)
26* FrenchJerk: Although she admits it and tries to get better.
27* HairTriggerTemper: Not as pronounced as Makoto though, and only really comes into play when someone is lazy.
28* PragmaticHero: She does want to take down the villains and make her team the best they can be . . . unfortunately, she can be rather blunt in her methods to do so. Lampshaded by herself, when she admits she's not the easiest to get along with but that she has good motives.
29* WellIntentionedExtremist: When it comes to exercise, she's almost a literal reading of this trope.
30* WorthyOpponent: Dmitri, although they're mostly friends.
31!!Da Li (China)
32* CowardlySidekick: For Hans and to a lesser extent Makoto.
33* ExtremeDoormat: Invoked by himself as he doesn't want to anger anyone and get voted off, so he does whatever anyone says.
34* OutOfFocus: Once again invoked, as he feels it'll keep him from being a target.
35!!Dmitri Stofski (Russia)
36* ActualPacifist: No matter how much strength he has over the others, he is steadfast in using it for any non-challenge purpose.
37* BigBrotherInstinct: Has this for Anna. Can become overprotective when he makes sure that Hans isn't mistreating her.
38* DumbMuscle: Played with. While he's very strong and speaks English poorly, he's actually much wiser than you'd first think.
39* GentleGiant: Even when he's mad, he never resorts to violence despite being the strongest member of the cast.
40* HuskyRusskie
41* MoralityPet: Tries and fails to be one for [[spoiler:Emma]].
42* NiceGuy: Despite his claims to the contrary.
43* OnlySaneMan: By the time the merge hits, if not before then. It's most likely due to his reluctance to engage in any strategy besides winning challenges.
44* YouNoTakeCandle: Especially notable that in a story where most characters could plausibly have a native language other than English, he's the only one with this condition. Justified since his family is poor and he could only afford the most basic of English lessons.
45!!Emma Kauffman (Canada)
46* AllThereInTheManual: The author mentions that she has a beautiful singing voice in a journal entry on his Deviantart page, although he also does point out that it never comes up in the story.
47* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: DiscussedTrope. Dmitri tells Emma that she's applying this to all of the other contestants and that it is unhealthy to think that way. Emma, thinking that she is just being a hero, doesn't know how to react.
48-->'''Emma:''' No. Dmitri's wrong. Sure, there may be a few neutral people in the world. But, especially in Total Drama, everyone can be split into good or evil.
49* KnightTemplar: REALLY concerned about taking out those she deems as "evil".
50* FieryRedhead: Started off as an aversion, but slowly starts becoming one.
51* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Big time.
52* MutilationConga: Falls victim to possibly the most brutal moment in any Total Drama fanfiction when [[spoiler:she's pushed into a burning firepit, suffering numerous second-degree burns, and then catapulted into a lake.]]
53* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]: She's a [[spoiler: {{Deconstruction}}.]]
54* SanitySlippage: Especially after seeing Da bullied [[spoiler: and voting him out for his own safety.]]
55* WellIntentionedExtremist: Becomes this for awhile. [[spoiler: Though any sympathy for her cause is lost when she poisons half her team.]]
56!!Eun Hyong (South Korea)
57
58* CompetenceZone: Is very air headed, to the point being the first to lose [[spoiler: although the votes were rigged against her]], and is the youngest contestant (15, when most others are 18 or 19).
59* GenkiGirl: Very energetic and excited about the game.
60* MotorMouth: Extremely talkative, even when she was set free from [[spoiler: being locked in a treasure chest.]]
61* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: A parody of the stereotypical ones.
62* MouthyKid: Abdi sees her this way.
63* [[PromotedFanboy Promoted Fangirl]]: In-universe. She wrote shipping fan fiction of all the (canonical) contestants, before being selected to be one the show for this season.
64* TokenMiniMoe: The youngest contestant by a few years to most of her competitors, and is cute in her own way.
65* WeHardlyKnewYe: Voted out first, [[spoiler: although Abdi rigged the vote to make it happen]].
66!!Hans Von Böse (Germany)
67* [[spoiler: AbusiveParents]]: And boy did he do something about it.
68* AllGermansAreNazis: His great uncle actually ''was'' one, serving as a high ranking commander under Hitler.
69* AntiVillain: On his best days.
70* DarkAndTroubledPast: Goes hand in hand with the FreudianExcuse.
71* EvilGenius: And a very sadistic one when he wants to be.
72* FauxAffablyEvil: Despite his nicer moments, he never stops being one of the most ruthless players in the game.
73* FreudianExcuse: Although in a rare inversion, it's actually used to explain why he's not even ''more'' ruthless than he already is. After he and his brother [[spoiler: nearly kill their abusive father]], he vowed never to be as cruel again. [[spoiler: Pushing Emma into the campfire]] triggered memories of this and made him realize he was awfully close to doing so.
74* MoralityPet: Anna is this to him, and he admits to it.
75* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: As part of his VillainousBSOD. Turns into an IgnoredEpiphany.
76* TheBigBad: For his team at least, possibly the merge.
77* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler: To his abusive father,]] a major reason for his FreudianExcuse.
78* SmugSnake: As the story goes on, it's made more and more clear that he's a lot less smart than he thinks he is.
79* TragicVillain: What he gradually becomes as we get a better picture of him.
80* VillainProtagonist
81* VillainousBSOD: Has one for the entire next episode after [[spoiler: pushing Emma into a fire for poisoning him,]] unable to even talk strategy like he usually does.
82!!Khalid Amini (Saudi Arabia)
83* TheEeyore: His temper problems and self-induced isolation have left him very depressed.
84* HairTriggerTemper: And he wishes for anything to be rid of it.
85* OutOfFocus: Although they're really isn't much he could in the first place do given that he avoided everyone.
86* TheQuietOne: Invoked, he often avoids contact with others to limit the possibility of losing his temper.
87!!Makoto Jaakuno (Japan)
88* AsianRudeness: On his best days it's ''just'' being rude. Interestingly, the biggest target is the Chinese Da, another Asian contestant.
89* DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery: Deliberately [[InvokedTrope invoked]], he smugly tells Emma he has Antisocial Personality Disorder and that it automatically justifies his abusive behavior.
90* EvilGenius: Moreso then Hans.
91* HiddenDepths: It's implied at a couple points pressure from his father at least contributes to his attitude and behavior, although it's never really explored.
92* JapanesePoliteness: Oh hell no. The biggest aversion you are likely to see in a non-Japanese work.
93* {{Jerkass}}: And he's proud.
94* JerkJustifications: A literal Type 3, see DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery above.
95* PerpetualFrowner: Except in rare cases when he's torturing someone, in which case . . .
96* SlasherSmile: . . . he sports one of these.
97!!Olivia Wilson (Australia)
98* AwesomeAussie: Yep.
99* [[spoiler:BetterAsFriends]]: Dmitri offers this and she accepts.
100* GenkiGirl: The most prominent one in the cast, she came to explore the island for adventure.
101* {{Keet}}
102* MoralityPet: To Clara at times.
103!!Rosa De Lucca (Italy)
104* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Of the cold and distant variety. The aloofness softens a little overtime.
105* DeadpanSnarker: As someone who mostly observes, she's had her moments where she can call something for what it is.
106* EmotionlessGirl: Shows very little emotion and is ''very'' apathetic, especially especially early on.
107* HiddenDepths: Is surprisingly knowledgeable about both Survivor and Total Drama. She is also very aware of her position in her alliance and that she's being used for a free vote.
108* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The dark to Anna's light as the two girls of the Axis alliance.
109* MsFanservice: Her design is very sultry, although she herself does not play this up.
110* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler: With Andres]], much to her surprise.
111* ParentalNeglect: It's heavily implied that the reason she's as apathetic as she is stems from her parents, along with the rest of her family, never paying any attention to her, leaving her to mostly watch TV all day. Later driven home during a challenge when [[spoiler: the contestants each get a relative or family member to team up with them and no one in her family even responded.]]
112* TheQuietOne: Rarely speaks unless spoken to.
113* RavenHairIvorySkin: Both are justified, through her Italian heritage and her reluctance to go outdoors, respectively.
114* WhenSheSmiles: [[spoiler: Andres]] certainly believes this.
115[[/folder]]
116
117[[folder: The Noble Nile]]
118!!Andres Garcia (Mexico)
119* {{Acrofatic}}: Averted, he exercises to get in shape.
120* BigFun
121* ClassClown
122* GuileHero: Subverted, although he knows he needs to vote people out and can't be friends with everyone all the time, he dreads talking about strategy as the game goes on.
123* LastOfHisKind: [[spoiler:The last heroic contestant left standing.]]
124* MamasBoy: During the family visit, it's clear that he and his mother are very close.
125* [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Manic Pixie Dream Guy]]: [[spoiler: Helps Rosa come out of her shell bit by bit.]]
126* NiceGuy
127* PungeonMaster: A specialty of his.
128!!Carmen Fernández (Spain)
129* {{Jerkass}}: Sees everyone as a pawn and nothing more.
130* MsFanservice: Unlike her teammate Débora, she uses this to her advantage [[spoiler: when it helped her get the immunity idol.]]
131* TheStrategist: Her goal in the game is to win through strategy alone, though as time goes on her definition of "strategy" starts to stretch.
132!!Débora Santivos (Brazil)
133* MsFanservice: Invoked to attract more male contestants to her.
134* ReallyGetsAround: Actually averted, despite rather blatantly marketing her body, she only sleeps with Jacob, Yotam, and Isaiah throughout the story.
135* {{Stripperiffic}}: Wears very tight, minimal clothing, especially considering she's on national television.
136!!Gloria Da Costa (Portugal)
137* DeadpanSnarker: The snarkiest of the cast.
138* FatBastard
139* HonestJohnsDealership: A lot of the stuff she sells is either implied or confirmed to be stolen. The sports medicine she sells in one episode was also very defective and implied to be illegal.
140!!Isaiah Williams (Jamaica)
141* TheGenericGuy: Beyond being a hard worker, his personality is pretty nondescript.
142* StandardizedLeader: He actively wants to lead the team, and is actually pretty successful at it, but doing so is his primary characteristic.
143* TheLeader: When it comes down to it, Isaiah is probably the best at getting his teammates to work together on a challenge.
144* [[spoiler: WellDoneSonGuy]]: A major source of his personality. Comes to terms with this later on.
145!!Jacob Smith (United States)
146* ItsAllAboutMe: As a deliberate stereotype about Americans.
147* {{Jerkass}}: With some hints of a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold golden heart deep down]].
148* LargeHam: He's, very brash and unsubtle about what he wants to say, particularly about the 4th of July.
149* PhenotypeStereotype: Makoto guess he's American because, among other things, he has blond hair and blue eyes.
150!!Jafari Hajjar (Egypt)
151* DeadpanSnarker: Has his moments
152* TheHero: While others are also nice, he's the only one who gives of a classical hero vibe in the entire story.
153* JackOfAllStats: Which makes him a major target after a while.
154* [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Manic Pixie Dream Guy]]: Downplayed example for Thema.
155* MoralityPet: For Thema.
156* NiceGuy: Only a really nice guy would [[spoiler: give some one else the Duncan Idol.]]
157* OddFriendship: It's weird seeing such a down-to-earth guy like him regularly associate with Andres and Jacob.
158!!Lacey Greensept (England)
159* BespectacledCutie: She's the only one of the girls who wears glasses and she fits the usual archetype of being sweet as well as clever.
160* DarkAndTroubledPast: Hinted at. [[spoiler:Turns out she was gang-raped by some street ruffians, causing a vehement disdain towards pig-headed men.]]
161* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sadaf as the two become best friends.
162* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler: With Mustafa.]]
163!!Mustafa Demir (Turkey)
164* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]]: When Thema nearly harmed Carmen with one of his weapons, he felt he had to do this to prevent something like it from happening again.
165* NiceGuy: Possibly the nicest and most honorable contestant in the season.
166* WalkingArmory: And he knows how to wield them all, too.
167!!Sadaf Najafi (Iran)
168* CulturalRebel: Opposes Iranian oppression of women, although she is devout in her faith and prays often.
169* {{Jerkass}}: Though nice to her friends.
170* StandardizedLeader: Arguably an inversion among her merge alliance. Isaiah is an straight example of one and Lacey is one of the calmer, nicer members of the cast, a personality that usually falls into this role. Yet Sadaf, far and away the most negative of the three (and arguably one of the most negative cast members in general), makes most of their strategic decisions [[spoiler: and ends up being the last one of them standing.]]
171!!Thema Ayensu (Ghana)
172* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Despite how close she gets, she doesn't win, but Jafari offers to help her move out of Ghana.]]
173* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: As a child soldier.]]
174* {{Jerkass}}: More often than not, she's in a bad mood, and she tends to take it out on others.
175* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Mostly in her friendship with Jafari, although she's very tall regardless.
176!!Yotam Davihan (Israel)
177* JiveTurkey: Starts showing shades of this after a while.
178* {{Keet}}: Unabashedly so.
