"What's so special about me?"
Brooklyn
Centre Of Attention
by SideshowJazz1 is an AU Total Drama fanfic where several of the Total Drama characters are in a teenage gang living in an abandoned factory. When they desperately need money to keep it from being demolished, they choose to hold a wealthy girl from boarding school for ransom, fifteen-year-old Brooklyn Durfree. However, while she's there, Scott, the informant of the group, appears to develop an interest in her...
Centre Of Attention contains examples of:
- Affably Evil: For all their virtues, the protagonists are a criminal gang. Played straightest with Gwen, who quits committing crimes once she has the money to attend art college.
- Alpha Bitch:
- Amy. She spends every moment she has treating her twin and her friends like the lowest of the low, but somehow she's still popular and well-liked.
- Heather and Courtney to a lesser extent. Courtney mostly acts this way out of jealousy but Heather explicitly states that she isn't nice and doesn't like anyone.
- Beauty Is Bad: Most of the gang. Brooklyn states outright that Courtney and Heather are "extremely pretty" and also calls notice to Duncan having nice eyes and Alejandro being "conventionally gorgeous".
- The Casanova: Alejandro goes through several girls, even though he's dating Heather.
- Clingy Jealous Girl:
- Courtney accuses Gwen of being interested in Duncan and refusing to like Sammy after she gets with Duncan, although she claims she doesn't blame her for their own breakup.
- Downplayed with Brooklyn, when Scott's former crush appears as part of a seniors' exchange trip. Brooklyn becomes worried about what could happen.
- Domestic Abuse: Courtney is implied to treat her boyfriend badly, which eventually causes Duncan to break up with her and ask Sammy out instead.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold:
- Sammy. Although she shows a rebellious streak, she never stops being kind and gentle.
- Dawn. She's extremely gentle, wise and forgiving, with pale blonde hair.
- Bridgette. She's blonde, and very friendly and good-natured, although she has her limits.
- Transplanted Character Fic: The story takes some characters from the parent work and puts them in an unrelated setting, and does not acknowledge canon events.
