- Nice, Mean, and In-Between: The mean to Tina's nice and Chef's in-between.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Sort of. While he gives the contestants better safety and lodging conditions than he gave their parents, through Tina's influence, he still isn't above making jokes at their misfortunes.

- Generation Xerox: Like Courtney, he can't accept when he's eliminated, and like Duncan, he will stop at nothing to make Harold suffer.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: While he appears cool-headed at first, when things don't go his way he shows a nasty temper. This is what gets him eliminated in "Camp Emblem Awake-ening".
- I Am Not My Father: Hates being compared to his father Duncan. However, it's understandable, as not only is Duncan a hardened criminal (who an upstanding Student Council President like Drew would understandably not want to associate with), it's also revealed that he was in prison for most of Drew's childhood.

- Big Sister Instinct: Not to her own sister, but to Nero in Worldwide, offering him emotional support.

- Blemished Beauty: Post-"She Who Lives By The Sword...", she has a prominent facial scar. However, she still looks quite lovely.
- Braids of Action: Wears her hair in a long braid, and is shown to be ruthless towards her foes. Subverted in that she cuts off her braid in "A Shocking Twist".
- Break the Haughty: Gets taken down several pegs in the episodes leading up to her elimination: her beautiful face gets stung by bees in "Don't Bug Me", she gets booted first in "The Word On the Street", she gets yelled at by Brick and beat up by Skave in "Not-So-Perfect Storm", and she gets her beautiful face permanently scarred and finally gets eliminated in "She Who Lives By the Sword...".
- Character Development: After Katherine's "The Reason You Suck" Speech in “She Who Lives By the Sword...” she realizes how much of a jerk she's been to the other campers. In Worldwide, she tries to make peace with Storm after their rivalry.
- Combat Pragmatist: She'll do anything to win, including fighting dirty.
- Daddy's Little Villain: Alejandro's daughter, and just as ruthless and manipulative as he is.
- Depraved Bisexual: Subverted. She's attracted to both men and women, and is ruthless towards her foes. In fact, in the first chapter, we see her using her good looks to try to convince people to join her side, which commonly overlaps with this trope. However, when Emilia and Lydia become an item, we see that Emilia has a genuinely caring side, and isn't entirely cruel. Her love for Lydia ends up being the only thing that keeps her from becoming completely heartless, and once Lydia is eliminated, she gets a lot more cruel. Emilia's sexuality doesn't accent her villainy; in fact, it negates it.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Was immediately ashamed of pulling Carter into a Forceful Kiss after learning he's gay.
- Evil Is Petty: In Legacy she often inconveniences her rivals just because she can.
- Evil Makes You Ugly: After taking a level in Jerkass, Emilia's face is damaged on two occasions; temporarily in "Don't Bug Me", when she gets stung by bees, and permanently in "She Who Lives By the Sword…", when Katherine leaves a Dueling Scar across her face.

- The Fashionista: Loves fashion and always strives to look her best.
- Femme Fatale: As beautiful and sultry as she is manipulative and ruthless.
- Flower Motifs: Roses. She has a rose in her hair, her racing helmet is decorated with roses and hearts in "Shut Up and Drive", and her yukata has roses on it in "Taiko Drama Master". This fits her well- not only because roses are associated with love, but also because of the phrase "every rose has its thorns", which fits her Silk Hiding Steel nature.
- Foil: To Storm. Storm is a tomboy, while Emilia is a girly girl. Storm is one of the Modern Mandrills, Emilia is one of the Classic Cobras. Storm's hair is short and curly, while Emilia's is long (at least initially) and straight. Storm wears primarily blue, Emilia wears primarily red. Storm wears no makeup and is terrible at applying it, Emilia wears a lot of makeup and excels at applying it. Storm is a Cool Big Sis to her little brother Thunder, Emilia is a Big Sister Bully to her little sister Raquel. Storm fights with blunt physical strength, while Emilia fights with elegance and grace. Storm is kind and friendly, while Emilia is mean and spiteful. And, of course, Storm and Emilia hate each other.

- Full-Name Ultimatum: Receives this in "Taiko Drama Master" after laughing at Raquel's No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from Serena.
- God Save Us from the Queen!: While not an actual queen, she does have a lot of queen imagery and symbolism associated with her. Just look at her title: "The Empress".
- Gratuitous Spanish: Considering Spanish is her first language, it's no wonder she'd use Spanish words and phrases a lot.
- Heel Realization: In "She Who Lives By the Sword…", after her crushing defeat in the fencing tournament, Emilia thinks back to the "The Reason You Suck" Speech Katherine delivered before their duel, and realizes that what Katherine said about her being a jerk to the other contestants was true. She then begins to feel intense guilt over how awful she had been to the other campers. Emilia's final Confession Cam illustrates this best:
- I'm Not Here to Make Friends: In "Not-So-Perfect Storm", she says she's "here to win, not get along with people".
- Important Haircut: Cuts of her braid to symbolize her Jumping Off the Slippery Slope in "A Shocking Twist".
- Latin Lover: Spanish, passionate, and drop-dead gorgeous.
- Meaningful Name: Her name means "rival".
- Not a Morning Person: "Welcome to the Jungle" reveals that she has a hard time waking up in the morning. This is because she tends to stay up past midnight, which is normal in Spain but not in North America.
- Not in the Face!: As is established early on in "Reality Shogun", Emilia hates being hit in her beautiful face. This makes sense; after all, "not the face" is the Burromuerto family code. It makes her ultimate fate- having her beautiful face scarred- all the more karmic.
- Official Couple: With Tina.
- Overly Long Name: "Taiko Drama Master" reveals that her full name is "Emilia Rosalía Alejandra Wong Burromuerto".

Little Katherine was so traumatized by this event that she became terrified of the outside world.
- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Katherine is described as having brown hair and very pale skin (the latter being due to her background as a Hikikomori). And as Feral Kat, she's a Cute and Psycho Wild Child. However, it's stated that Feral Kat's skin actually looks green at certain angles.

- Eskimos Aren't Real: She never knew virtual reality games were actually real until "Virtual Royale-ity".

- Genre Savvy: She knows she can take her time starting her section of the relay race in "Nuclear Winners" when her opponent is Carter.

- Dumb Blonde: Subverted. At first glance, she seems to be a stereotypically shallow blonde, concerned more about her looks than about helping her team. However, in "Aftermath: The Next Generation", we find out she has an interest in medicine, and "After the Dive of Shame" confirms that she is, indeed, smarter than she may seem.
- Entitled Bitch: Morgan, being a Spoiled Brat, has a massive sense of entitlement, and grows very frustrated when the facilities at camp don't live up to her impossibly high standards.
- Fangirl: A huge fan of Mending Hearts, to the point where she sneaks onto the set of the show in "Lightning, Cameron, Action!".

Scarlett and Max's son.
- Accidental Pervert: Accidentally touches Storm's boobs when he trips in "Wild Kat".
- In an Aftermath bonus clip, he uses X-ray goggles he invented to see through walls... and he happens to turn toward the girls' room while wearing them.
- Animal Motifs: Crows. His yukata in "Taiko Drama Master" has a crow on it, he wears a Tengu mask in that same episode (as tengu are commonly thought of as being part-crow), and in "Nuclear Winners", he adopts a pet crow named Banshee.
- Big Guy, Little Guy: Him and Zack.
- Calling the Old Woman Out: Finally stands up to his mother's horrible treatment of him in "Nuclear Winners".
- Chekhov's Skill: His ability to speak Ukrainian comes in handy when Chris is trying to get into Pripyat.
- Deathbringer the Adorable: Aside from arguably being an example himself (at least, post-Heel–Face Turn), he seems to be fond of giving cute animals Names to Run Away from Really Fast, as he names his pet goldfish "Leviathan"note and his pet crow "Banshee".
- Einstein Hair: Befitting a scientist like him.
- Evil Genius: His primary characterization up until his Heel–Face Turn.
- Expy: Of Kooky von Koopa. He's a Mad Scientist and Overlord Jr. who is very good with machines, has Einstein Hair (with Nero's even being a dark bluish-black, invoking Kooky von Koopa's blue hair), and is prone to Evil Laughter. He even describes himself as a "kooky inventor" in one scene.

- Gadgeteer Genius
- Game of Nerds: Nero is extremely intelligent, and he states in "All Roads Lead to Rome" that baseball is the only sport he pays any attention to.
- Goggles Do Nothing: Subverted. Nero wears a pair of goggles on his head, but never really uses them… until he has to take the Dive of Shame, and he puts them over his eyes.
- Head Pet: Gains one when he takes in Banshee. She spends all of "Nuclear Winners" nestled in his hair.
- Heel–Face Turn: Starts off as an Evil Genius, but staying at camp causes him to realize that being good feels much better than being evil. Thus, in "Wild Kat", he decides to renounce evil and become a good guy.

- Labcoat of Science and Medicine: Wears one.
- Loser Son of Loser Dad: Was deliberately not invited to be on Total Drama Legacy because his mother Scarlett tried to blow up Pahkitew Island with everyone still on it and is thus The Dreaded to everyone associated with Total Drama.
- Mad Scientist: It's even his label.
- Meaningful Name: Doubling as Names to Run Away from Really Fast, he's named after Emperor Nero, who, among other things, had a terrible relationship with his mother Agrippina (which led to him having her killed) and famously played the lyre while Rome was burning. This reflects how Nero has an incredibly strained relationship with his mother Scarlett and eventually gets eliminated for burning down his own tent during a camping trip. "Nero" is also Italian for "black", which fits with his blue-black hair.
- His middle name, Volodymyr, is also meaningful. It means "ruler of the world", and considering Scarlett wanted him to be an accomplice in her evil schemes, that fits.
- Mr Fix It: He reveals in "Down Underwear" that because he's "an expert on all things pertaining to machinery", his father Max has always relied on him to fix things around the house, to the point where it's been years since he's called a repairman.
- Nightmare Fetishist: In "A Dark and Storm-y Night" when he sees the haunted house that their challenge will take place, he is incredibly enthusiastic about it. In "Cruel Britannia", when he draws Frankenstein from the bookshelf during the literature challenge, his face lights up, and when Chris says he'll have to do the "Creature-Creating Challenge", which involves sewing together a monster from foam body parts, Nero exclaims that creating a monster is something he's always wanted to do. And in "Mi Cabaña Es Su Cabaña", when he has to cut out a cloth heart from a doll at the top of an Aztec pyramid, he says in a confessional that "now [he gets] to perform an Aztec sacrifice! How cool is that?"
- This continues into Worldwide, as in "Lightning, Cameron, Action!", he reveals that he's a huge fan of horror movies and is excited to star in one, and in "Taiko Drama Master", he gets really excited upon learning that the next destination they visit is going to be Chernobyl.
- Overlord Jr.: To Max and Scarlett. Subverted in that he eventually has a Heel–Face Turn in "Wild Kat".
- Redemption Equals Death: Well, Redemption Equals Elimination. Nero's Heel–Face Turn is finalized in "Wild Kat", the episode in which he gets eliminated.
- RevengeSVP: Wasn't actually invited to the island (because Chris didn't want to ask Scarlett), but shows up anyway.
- Shorter Means Smarter: Mad Scientist Nero is the shortest Total Drama Legacy camper.
- Suddenly Bilingual: He can speak Ukrainian, which wasn't revealed until "Nuclear Winners".
- Throw the Dog a Bone: As he notes in his elimination speech, Worldwide as a whole is one for him after his parents' divorce in the year gap.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: All he wants is approval from his mother Scarlett, who is dismissive and neglectful towards him. In fact, Nero's Heel–Face Turn ends up making their relationship worse.

Lightning and Cameron's daughter.
- Academic Athlete: A Passionate Sports Girl with a 4.0 GPA.
- The Ace: It's even her label!
- Broken Ace: As revealed in "Nothing To Fear But Fear Itself", because Storm grew up only knowing success, she never learned that failure is a part of life. Her greatest fear (getting a bad test grade) stems from an incident in sixth grade where she got a D on a test, and due to the reputation for intelligence she had built up around herself, others around her felt as if she had let them down.
- Action Girl: Due to her athleticism, she is incredibly tough and capable of beating anyone in a fight.
- Affectionate Nickname: "Pikachu" by Link, "Storm-chan" by Serena, "sha-honey" by Lightning, and "Stormie" by Gwen.

- Cool Big Sis: To her little brother Thunder.
- Cosmetic Catastrophe: Doing makeup is the one thing she isn't good at.
- Designer Babies: Downplayed. She mentions offhandedly in "The Great Canadian Cook-Off" that when Cameron was transferring his own DNA into an enucleated egg cell when creating her, he knocked out the gene that caused his poor eyesight, so she wouldn't have to deal with the hassle of wearing glasses. It's unknown what other genes he may have altered, if any.

Storm's hair is short and curly, while Emilia's is long (at least initially) and straight. Storm wears primarily blue, Emilia wears primarily red. Storm wears no makeup and is terrible at applying it, Emilia wears a lot of makeup and excels at applying it. Storm is a Cool Big Sis to her little brother Thunder, Emilia is a Big Sister Bully to her little sister Raquel. Storm fights with blunt physical strength, while Emilia fights with elegance and grace. Storm is kind and friendly, while Emilia is mean and spiteful. And, of course, Storm and Emilia hate each other.
- Genius Bruiser: Her mind is as toned as her muscles.
- Graceful Loser: In a showcase of how far she’s come, she takes her elimination gracefully. This provides a conclusion to her character arc of learning to accept failure.
- Homosexual Reproduction: Storm is a textbook example, as it's established early on in "Here Come The Sons… And Daughters" that Cameron created her in a lab by combining his own DNA with that of his husband Lightning. Later episodes revealed that the process of creating her involved a Uterine Replicator that Cameron invented and an enucleated egg cell implanted with Cameron's DNA. (In addition, according to Word of God, Lightning's sperm was used to fertilize the egg.)
- Hot-Blooded: As a Passionate Sports Girl, she's is all about giving 110% and taking on challenges "passionately and aggressively". This trait of hers is emphasized in "The Great Canadian Cook-Off", where she cooks her spaghetti in an incredibly vigorous and aggressive way.
- I Call Him "Mister Happy": Insistently refers to her breasts as her "sha-boobies".
- Lesbian Jock: Downplayed; she's certainly a jock, and she's attracted to women, but she's actually bisexual.
- Lovable Jock: In contrast to previous tomboyish and athletic girls Eva and Jo, Storm is a Nice Girl with a heart as big as her muscles.
- Masculine–Feminine Gay Couple: Storm and Serena are a textbook example. Storm is a tomboyish Passionate Sports Girl, while Serena is a hyper-feminine Kawaiiko. Simply put, they're on opposite ends of the futch scale◊. And wouldn't you know it, they're an Official Couple.
- Martial Arts Headband: Serena gives one to Storm at the end of "The Word On the Street". It has a rising sun and the Japanese word for "lightning", inazuma (稲妻), on it. She's still wearing it in "After the Dive of Shame", and goes on to wear it in Worldwide.
- Meaningful Name: Her real name, Helen, can mean "St. Elmo's fire", a natural phenomenon in which electricity surrounds a pointed object. This befits her association with electricity.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Her real name is Helen.
- Passionate Sports Girl: Is very athletic and enjoys playing softball and volleyball.
- Pervert Revenge Mode: When Nero accidentally touches Storm's sha-boobies, Storm reacts violently, punching him in the face and shoving him out of the tent.

- Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: The Thundercrack Fist, an attack used by Storm in "A Shocking Twist" that consists of a barrage of rapid-fire punches.
- Shared Family Quirks: Storm shares her father Lightning's "sha-" Verbal Tic.
- Small Parent, Huge Child: She towers over her father Cameron. Cameron himself lampshades this in "Around the World in A Whole Lot of Days"."Do you know how hard it is when you’re even littler than your 'little girl'?"

- The Cutie: A kindhearted and optimistic girl who loves Disney, musical theatre, and her boyfriend.
- Dating What Daddy Hates: Her father, Topher, hates her boyfriend Keith and doesn't approve of their relationship. The reason Tophella decided to go to camp in the first place was so she can spend more time with Keith without Topher getting in the way.
- Finishing Each Other's Sentences: Keith and Tophella do this in "A Dark and Storm-y Night", in order to show how madly in love they are.

- Only Known by Their Nickname: Her real name is Felicia.
- Performance Artist: Loves musical theater.
- The Pollyanna: A very "glass half-full" kind of person.

The two of them are to romantic relationships what Katie and Sadie were to platonic relationships: they were introduced as having already had a close relationship with each other, are pretty much inseparable, often go on and on about how much they care about each other, and when one of them gets eliminated, the other doesn't really have much to do until their own elimination.
- The Smurfette Principle: The only female on the Dynamic Dumplings after Morgan and Barbara's eliminations.

- Girliness Upgrade: Her outfit in Legacy is a fairly standard dance outfit, and isn't all that girly. In Worldwide, however, she's wearing a very girly outfit, which consists of an off-the-shoulder top, a classical tutu, a bow in her hair, and pink tights and shoes.
- Graceful Ladies Like Purple: Wears purple almost exclusively. Though this is as much a pun on her name as it is a symbol of her femininity.
- Improbable Weapon User: Much like her mother Anne Maria before her, Violet often uses her hairspray as a weapon.
