User blog:Raised By Wolves/Character Analysis – Courtney



Hey everyone! Similar to TheEpicDestroyer's blog about the Ice Dancers, I'm going to write one for Courtney. I have always loved Courtney, but lately I've realized how truly amazing she is. Courtney is easily the most deep, complex, and intriguing character, and pretty much the most interesting masterpieces that Total Drama has ever produced. I am stunned whenever I see Courtney on the show, because her amazing character never ceases to amaze me. She seems different in every season; yet she's still the same Courtney. No character's personality has been more fleshed out or explored than Courtney. This blog details Courtney's journey throughout Total Drama, the trials she faces, the development she goes through, and by the end of it, I hope you too share the love that I bear for this inspirational character.

Not So Happy Campers - Part 1
Courtney's wild, complex and somewhat traumatizing journey has it's humble beginnings in Episode 1 of Total Drama. She is the twentieth contestant to arrive, only arriving before Justin and Izzy. Courtney greets the contestants in a very friendly manner; this suggests that she is not an inherently nasty person. She is the only contestant who is concerned for Izzy, and that shows how kind of a person Courtney is. But on the other hand, it shows a deeper meaning that many people may not see at first sight. Later episodes reveal Courtney to be extremely competitive and cutthroat; it's highly possible that Courtney is nice to everyone because she considers them a stepping stone on her path to greatness. You never know when someone could help you in life; would Courtney really want to take that risk? Courtney is a person who looks deeper into life; she takes a deeper perspective and knows what she wants. Furthermore, she knows how to get it too. And if someone can potentially help her on her path, then she's not going to alienate them. This is supported by Courtney greeting the others as the "other contestants", which shows that her head is already in the game. She knows what type of show she's in for, and she's not afraid to set the foundation of her reputation.
