Noah



Noah, called the Lazy and Cynical Know-It-All, is a self-absorbed, lazy, manipulative teen who blends in with the background. He enjoys sitting, lying down, occasionally leaning, and reading. He is known for "being a freakish child genius."

Character History
He joined because he wants to apply skills from fantasy-land survival video games to the real world. He was the third person to be voted off in the competition because he wouldn't participate in the challenge. He highly contrasts with Owen. Owen gained Noah's dislike when he voted him off (as well as Heather, Gwen, Izzy, Leshawna, Lindsay, Beth, Cody, Trent, and Justin). Like Heather, he seems to disdain others, especially Cody, Gwen, Leshawna, and Justin. Leshawna called him a disrespectful turkey when he was voted off (something he did not enjoy hearing from her). He only cheered for Owen in the final episode because although he dislikes both Gwen and Owen, he dislikes Gwen more, not because he likes Owen.

In the episode "Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island!" he is seen in a team and getting along with Izzy and Eva. It may seem his friendships with Izzy and Eva are only for the contest and not for real, however, he is seen concerned when Courtney attacks Izzy, hinting that Noah is really Izzy and Eva's friend, since he normally enjoys seeing people fight. At the end of the episode, he and Eva dump water and a fish on Justin, who had just gained the case of 1 million dollars. Izzy then runs in and steals the case while Justin is distracted, but Noah and Eva don't have enough time themselves to run to the dock and land in the lake to tie with the other campers, so he will not participate in Total Drama Action.

Noah has a large feud with Justin. This feud seems to have originated when Justin voted off Noah and later escalated during their stay in Playa Des Losers, probably because of the character's enormous personality differences. The feud is shown in episode "Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island!", when Noah calls Justin the "anti-me" and later, by the end of the episode, Noah attacks Justin with a fish.

In "The Big Sleep," he accidentally kissed Cody on the ear in his sleep (an event that the other campers have constantly teased him about, especially Izzy, Katie, Sadie, and Trent). In the same episode Noah is seen running in first place at the 20k run, however, he later passes out due to lack of air and has to be resucitated by Owen.

How he got voted off
Noah met his end in Dodgebrawl when he didn't care about playing the game and instead he was reading a book. Apparently, he has some sort of life-threatening allergy. He can be some what of a good runner as seen in The Big Sleep, but only when he wants to be. When Noah was voted off, the Screaming Gophers threw their marshmallows at him when he said that he was the only one on their team with any brains. Noah was the first person to get voted off in the Screaming Gophers. He was voted off because he didn't help the team in the dodge ball game. Of all the campers he hates, he hates Cody, Gwen, Leshawna, and Justin the most (as stated above).

Audition tape
In his audition, Noah is congratulated by a friend, Joey, for making class president. Then he says that he is smart and that's how he'll come out on top.

Personality Origins
Though small and dorky, Noah apparently never was beaten up in the school yard due to his cleverness and used his mean remarks as his weapon. According to the the biography on Cartoon Network's official site, Noah is the 'runt' (possibly youngest) of 10 kids (biography refers to it as a 'nine sibling litter'). Being shrimpy, Noah is said to have gained his sarcastic, manipulative, and pessimistic attitude to make up for his lack of size, he possibly had to do this to survive being the runt of his large family.
