Leshawna

Leshawna is a Black Canadian who despises obnoxious people, such as Heather and Alejandro. On Total Drama Island, she was put on the Screaming Gophers, where she quickly develops a rivalry with Heather over her snobbish and manipulative nature, though on a few occasions she herself was a victim of Heather's manipulation, most notably in Trent's ouster. With few exceptions, though, she is generally well liked by her fellow contestants. She was eliminated when, on a tour of Playa Des Losers, the luxury resort hotel in which eliminated contestants are sequestered, Chris informs the eliminated contestants that they were to vote for the next contestant to be eliminated; the contestants inadvertently mentioned LeShawna repeatedly in their discussion (made worse when a parrot repeatedly squawks her name), which counted as votes for her elimination even though that's not what any of the voters wanted. She qualified for Total Drama Action, where she was picked for the Screaming Gaffers. There, after Gwen was eliminated, LeShawna tries to enter into an alliance with Duncan and Harold to keep Heather off her back, but was quickly rebuffed due to Duncan and Harold steadfastly refusing to work with one another. She lost some of her own popularity when it was revealed that she lied to win the individual reward following a team challenge (she burst into tears to get the prize, and yet later stated "LeShawna never cries!"). She lost even more faith when Beth revealed all the nasty things LeShawna told her cousin while on a spa day she had won in an earlier challenge. Though she tries to make amends, her efforts were seen as bribery even by fellow teammate Harold, who still had a crush on her. The Gaffers would win a bank heist challenge without her, locking her in a safe for the entire episode. She was eventually forgiven for her actions after Heather, ironically enough, defended her actions. This simple action buried the hatchet with Heather shortly before Heather was eliminated. LeShawna's own elimination followed when the teams were merged and Duncan and Courtney manipulated Harold, the swing vote, to vote for LeShawna. She forgives Harold for unintentionally arranging her ouster. However, despite their mutual attraction, LeShawna and Harold still remain "just friends". LeShawna returned for World Tour, and was a founding member of Team Victory, but she was eliminated in Slap Slap Revolution for throwing away the challenge to beat up Heather and falling for Alejandro's charm. As seen in this episode, as well as "Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Reunion Special", her temporary friendship with her old rival Heather abruptly ended. Her personality is based on Queen Latifah.
