Leshawna

LeShawna, labeled The Sister With 'Tude, was a camper from Total Drama Island on the Screaming Gophers team. She was a cast member on Total Drama Action and was on the Screaming Gaffers team. She will be returning for Total Drama World Tour.

Biography
LeShawna is one bootyliscious shortie! She is large and in charge and everyone else might as well pack it up and go home "cause she came to win". She is as street smart as they come but put her in the woods and the girl is like a fish out of the water. Back home she can often be found strutting the halls at her school, rolling with her girlfriends and giving anyone who throws attitude her way all kinds of trouble. While most know better than to be gettin' all up in her bizness, there's always some clown who didn't get the memo. What LeShawna lacks in social graces, she more than makes up for in community service. She's a natural born leader, so she's always on the look out for troubled teens, which is why she volunteers three times a week at The Community Centre. To them, LeShawna's like a big sister. It's a role she enjoys since she wants to make sure they stay out of trouble and off the streets. And like her highschool homies, her surrogate siblings learned pretty quick that they can't pull one over on their Big Sistah! When one of them used her do-rag-as-a-dish-rag, LeShawna taught him the valuable lesson of how to check himself before he wrecked himself. But underneath all that attiude lurks a heart of gold, which is why LeShawna auditioned for Total Drama Island. She wanted to be a role model for kids on the street and show that anyone can win if they give it their all. Trouble is, there ain't no street in the wilderness - just lots of trees and tons of mosquitoes. But LeShawna is excited to see how she'll go from "the hood" to "the wood"...and hey, now that she's here, she's here to win, y'all! LeShawna would just like to say that she represents and she's not about to go home early.

Total Drama Island
LeShawna manages to go very far in Total Drama Island. She does well in several challenges, sometimes winning invincibility for her team. In fact, her and DJ are the only campers to never received the final marshmallow at the campfire ceremonies. She is also one of the friendliest competitors on the show, only not getting along with a few campers. The most notable of these is Heather, who is known as her mortal enemy who she completely despises. She also develops a dislike for Duncan near the end of the show. She has a small temper, although it is not nearly as big as Eva’s temper.

When LeShawna arrives in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, she asks everyone “What’s Up?” and says that LeShawna is “In the House.” Harold gasps at the sight of her and when she begins talking to DJ, Harold comes up and calls LeShawna real big, and loud. LeShawna is angered at this comment and attempts to attack Harold, but DJ and Bridgette restrain her from doing so. Later, when Cody arrives and begins flirting with some girls, she tells him to “save it.” She is put on the Screaming Gophers. When they were getting their food, LeShawna asked Eva “what’s up,” but she didn’t respond.

In Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, LeShawna begins a major conflict with Heather. It started when Heather refused to jump off the cliff just because she would get her hair wet. LeShawna began saying she will jump off the cliff. After insulting each other, LeShawna throws Heather inside the safety zone. LeShawna then hopes she can make it in too, which she does. When Beth did not jump off the cliff, LeShawna and Cody imitated a chicken to show that she was too chicken. LeShawna also wanted Owen to jump off the cliff, which he eventually did. LeShawna shows concern about Courtney’s eye swell when she arrives. LeShawna accepts Heather’s fake apology, and is also very happy when the team wins. During the hot tub party, she does a victory dance with Owen and Noah.

In The Big Sleep, LeShawna is shown to do poor in the 20K run, being the second-to-last one to arrive, only arriving before Harold. During the run, LeShawna tried to insult Heather but was too tired to do so. LeShawna agreed with Gwen that Chris McLean’s plan to make the campers tired was good. LeShawna stayed very quiet during the actual challenge and fell asleep sometime between the 24 and 35-hour marks.

In Dodgebrawl, LeShawna is in almost all of the rounds. During round one, Harold attempts to get LeShawna out with his “skills,” but LeShawna nails him with a dodgeball when his doesn’t even go far enough to hit her. She is in until there are only two people left in on each side. However, she gets hit by Katie’s dodgeball, even after she blocked DJ’s. She is in again in the 3rd and 4th rounds, but Duncan’s strategy got her and the rest of the Screaming Gophers quickly. She is also in the final round, where she is briefly seen telling Courtney that she messed with the wrong white girl. The team loses, but LeShawna is shown to be safe at the campfire ceremony.

LeShawna does not have any lines in Not Quite Famous, and doesn’t do anything important either. However, it is assumed that she voted off Heather on Gwen’s behalf. In The Sucky Outdoors, LeShawna is worried about the bears, and strangely, when an actual Bear appears at camp, the branch she is on breaks and she encounters the Bear head-on. Luckily, that one ended up being Izzy in disquise so the “bear” did not attack LeShawna.

LeShawna does not have any lines in Phobia Factor either. Her fear is never actually heard at the campfire, but it was shown to be spiders. Even though it was obviously Chef Hatchet in a spider costume, LeShawna was still very scared and ran away at the sight of Chef. Heather facepalmed herself because LeShawna could not complete the challenge.

In Up the Creek, she was Izzy’s canoe partner. However, unlike Izzy, she wasn’t telling any crazy stories. She seemed to also give her reaction to the viewers, as she though either Izzy was crazy or LeShawna was confused. Also, after Izzy caused them to lose the challenge, LeShawna got mad at her, Izzy told LeShawna that her “license to kill” is expired. After Izzy said this, LeShawna chased after Izzy with a Canoe paddle. Then, at the campfire ceremony, LeShawna could not believe everything Izzy said was actually true.

In Paintball Deer Hunter, LeShawna was chosen as a hunter. She was disgusted by Owen’s strategy of masking his scent with urine. LeShawna did not shoot a single "deer" until she and Beth ganged up on Heather, after Beth left Heather's Alliance. Eventually, Heather stole Lindsay’s paintball gun and then they started shooting at each other. They did this until the Killer Bass found them and started shooting at all four of them at once.

During If You Can't Take The Heat..., LeShawna and Beth still continue their conflicts with Heather. LeShawna pairs up with Beth. She constantly argues with Heather over what she wants to cook during the challenge. At first, she wants to do a pineapple appetizer, but she ends up doing a main dish of pineapple (to which she then claims she allergic to pineapple.). After Owen got Heather’s make-up bag (since she had burnt off her eyebrows), LeShawna stole it, and with the help of Beth and Lindsay, she locked Heather in the freezer. She took some charge of her team after this and told Owen to guard the ribs, which he could not do. She waved good-bye to Beth after her Elimination.

In Who Can You Trust?, LeShawna seems to be in better terms with Heather than the previous episode, as they did not bicker in this episode. LeShawna also participated in two of the blindfolded challenges. In the reversed William Tell Challenge, she was the blindfolded one, and after several apples hit Owen, she got a bull’s-eye. She also was also blindfolded in the final challenge, where she accidentally took an erratic path instead of the normal one down The Cliff.

In Basic Straining, LeShawna lasts quite a bit of time in the competition, but got out the same time Harold did when she began to sink in the mud during the obstacle. She begins laughing with Gwen when Courtney runs outside to puke. She is very happy like the rest of the Screaming Gophers when Gwen wins the challenge.

In X-Treme Torture, LeShawna does the Moose rodeo. However, the Moose gets extremely angry when LeShawna tells the moose to not make her mad. This even causes the moose to run straight through the fence and over Chef Hatchet. LeShawna was able to stay on the moose, and accidentally made it run over the Bear’s collection of stolen marshmallows. Something was wrong with her foot afterwards, and she told hr team to just win the challenge so then she could go take shower. Later, the Haiku that Bridgette and Gwen were arguing over ended up being for LeShawna. As Harold left the island on The Dock of Shame, the letter was revealed to be from him. The two kiss as Chef Hatchet drags Harold away.

LeShawna is shown to have made it into the merge in Brunch of Disgustingness. When Bridgette enters the cabin, LeShawna and Heather are shown to be bickering about various things, such as LeShawna leaving her clothes around, and that Heather ate LeShawna’s food. After Heather becomes suddenly nice, the two argue over Bridgette, who chooses LeShawna and Gwen’s side. LeShawna successfully eats the first dish easily, but the second dish she is unable to eat. However, she gives Bridgette “some fingers” for helping Lindsay eat her dish. It is unknown if she ate the third dish or not, but she was starting to feel sick from the challenge. However, with Bridgette’s help, she ate the 4th dish successfully. She went up against Owen for the tiebreaker, who she lost to, due to Owen quickly gulping down his last drinks of Cockroach juice. However, she vomits an undigested cockroach after this, which causes all the guys except Owen to vomit too. Her and Gwen lock Heather out of the cabin that night.

LeShawna is angry at the beginning of No Pain, No Game, where she is eating a bag of chips angrily staring at Heather and Lindsay. When the guys come back from their two-day vacation, Owen offers cherry blossoms to the girls, which LeShawna angrily rejects by throwing her sandal at the dish. When Gwen begins arguing with Chris McLean on the loudspeaker, she said that reasoning with a loudspeaker didn’t look right. LeShawna has an argument with Eva about her messing with Bridgette, and Eva goes as far as calling LeShawna “thunder thighs.” Also, once Eva had to fight a Sasquatchanakwa, LeShawna thought she might actually be able to do it since she is so hardcore. LeShawna also thought Izzy was very crazy for actually daring herself to get a poison ivy treatment. LeShawna managed to make it into the final 2 for the challenge and had to do a grizzly bear log roll with a professional log rolling bear named Molotov. She beats Molotov and gets a Trailer as a reward.

In Search and Do Not Destroy, LeShawna wakes up very tired, as she slept in the trailer she won last episode. While she is relaxing on a chair, a cannonball from Chris McLean’s misfires and blows up her trailer. When she walks to the outdoor amphitheater, her luggage is still steaming from the explosion. Her task was to get they key, which was under a bridge and guarded by two Alligators. She looked beaten up and her clothes were torn, but she still got the key. When Gwen told LeShawna what Heather did, she told everyone on the island except Trent and Heather to eliminate Heather. The key she had opened a chest that had a leg lamp in it. Since Heather got invincibility, her alliance eliminated Trent.

LeShawna tries to cheer up Gwen about Trent’s elimination at the beginning of Hide and Be Sneaky. She hid underwater with a lillypad-shaped straw to breathe from. Izzy saw where she was but Izzy seemed to promise she would not tell Chef Hatchet where she was. Chef Hatchet checked everywhere, and by the time he decided to check the water, LeShawna had already gotten to the chair, and she won invincibility. LeShawna, along with Bridgette and Gwen voted off Duncan, but because not everyone else agreed with that, Bridgette got eliminated.

In That's Off the Chain!, LeShawna along with everyone else except Geoff, Lindsay, and Heather were playing Frisbee. However, they stopped before the challenge started. During the challenge, despite being a street-smart person, had no idea how to build a bike. Izzy, however, had already completed hers and offered LeShawna to go on a bike ride with her, since her weight would help. LeShawna pretended to take this as a compliment, and joined Izzy. However, Izzy went crazy and pedaled very fast down a hill and practically everywhere. Even though LeShawna and Izzy were not there for the challenge, Chris McLean just said it was their loss, even though due to this it was impossible for them to lose. Shortly after Lindsay cursed out Heather they reappeared as Izzy pedaled them into the Lake. LeShawna told Lindsay as she left that they would have kept her on the show if they could vote, and LeShawna also promised Lindsay she would kick Heather’s butt for her.

In Hook, Line, and Screamer, LeShawna is shown to be scared of the movie, and threw popcorn at the screen to warn tell people in the movie to stop making out and drive the car to escape from the killer. LeShawna wanders off when only Duncan and Gwen are left because she was hungry. LeShawna steals some brownies from the mess hall, and even though Chef Hatchet (as the killer) finds LeShawna, she manages to escape to the tent with the brownies successfully. Like everyone else, she is scared when Gwen find the real Psycho Killer, and is sad when DJ leaves the island.

In Wawanakwa Gone Wild!, LeShawna and Geoff were tugging on some gruel because it would not break, and was not edible at all. She draws a Frog for her animal, and doesn’t go for anything in particular, but most likely got a fishing rod. She has a lot more trouble catching than she expected, because it kept hopping away until LeShawna fell into a deep puddle, and she said that the frog was going to pay. She tried again with cheese, but she got too close to the frog and landed in the puddle again. She eventually caught the frog, and said she was going to take a shower.

In Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon, LeShawna gave a shout-out to her friends back at home, saying she thought she was going to win. She pairs up with Duncan for the challenge, but they do much more fighting than actual teamwork. For example, they arm wrestle over who is eating the food, and after Duncan cheats, he does it. However, LeShawna feeds him very fast, giving him hardly enough time to swallow. The two campers then argue about who is in the front of the canoe. When they get in the Canoe, LeShawna tells Duncan that Courtney told her that he had a soft side. Duncan admits it was true, because he didn’t want DJ to feel bad about his bunny. However, when Duncan insults LeShawna’s weight, she beats him up. LeShawna ended up piggybacking Duncan, and they almost got the Tiki Idol to the cage, but were scared off by Woolly Beavers. In the final part of the challenge, they seem to get along much better and complete the totem stack first out of the groups.

LeShawna was accidentally voted off in Haute Camp-ture, due to many people accidentally saying her name. Despite her elimination, many of the eliminated campers like LeShawna. Harold mentioned she was his soul-mate, and even Courtney sad she had nothing bad to say about her. However, when Katie and Sadie said they wanted LeShawna to come to Playa Des Losers, which made others try to say not to vote off LeShawna, which included Courtney, Lindsay (twice), Izzy, a Parrot, Trent, and the Parrot again. LeShawna was pushed in by Chef on the Boat of Losers and sent there. She was mentioned in Camp Castaways by Heather, who was insulting Gwen about how she missed LeShawna.

In The Very Last Episode, Really!, LeShawna sided with Gwen the entire time and was one of her main supporters. She also got very annoyed by Heather and locked her in the Confessional Owen used as a bathroom.

In Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, she hangs out with Gwen and Trent at Playa Des Losers. Gwen shows them her gothic friends, but neither one of the two seemed exited to possibly meet them. LeShawna aslo breaks up with Harold in this episode, after she believs they took the relationship too fast. LeShawna pairs up with these two during the episode to find the case. They have very good strategies, but they are unable to find the case. Also, LeShawna and Gwen give information to Justin after they fell for his charm. Eventually, LeShawna stole the Chef’s ATV and stole it. She tried to run over Heather with it, but misses and drives it into the lake. She tries to snatch the case from the people on the diving board, but it fall out of her hands. She is one of the 14 people to be in the Dock of Shame’s water, so competes in Total Drama Action, even though she clearly does not want to.

Total Drama Action
LeShawna is shown to still be on good terms with Harold while simultaneously being on bad terms with Heather. Although she initially shared a bunk with Izzy, as of Riot On Set, she has begun sharing a bunk with Heather, despite being revolted by the idea in Monster Cash. LeShawna is currently unaware of Harold's distorted views on their relationship, as she thinks it simply was not meant to be. Judging from her reactions as of Alien Resurr-eggtion, she is still highly attracted to Justin. In Riot On Set, she is chosen by Gwen to be on the Screaming Gaffers. LeShawna encouraged Gwen to select Heather telling her to keep her enemies closer, and Gwen reluctantly chose Heather over Izzy.

The third part of the challenge in Beach Blanket Bogus required the teams to select a castmate to compete in a dance off. LeShawna insisted that she be the one to compete for her team as her nickname back home is "Le-Shakin' It". Trent is selected to compete for the Killer Grips. The two began dancing, and Trent was quickly distracted by LeShawna's bizarre dance moves. Most of the castmates giggle at her, with DJ remarking in the confessional that her nickname should be "LeBomba", while Heather said that her nickname should be "Prima Ballerino". Harold said he liked LeShawna's dancing, and danced along with her from the sidelines. Despite LeShawna's over-the-top dancing style, she won the challenge after Trent faked an injury in order to allow Gwen's team to win the challenge.

In 3:10 to Crazytown, because of the humidity, LeShawna's hair had been changed into an afro. With her hair looking the way it did, Heather was eager to make fun of her for it. This lead to another bout of the two feuding during the horse-mounting challenge and somewhat reenacting a scenario that occurred in the second episode of Total Drama Island, where LeShawna again finds herself forcefully pushing Heather off from a high altitude to complete the challenge. This time, however, she is dragged down by Heather simultaneously, leaving them both stuck on a weather vane. LeShawna's weight allowed her to get down on her own (using her hair as a cushion) while Heather is left hanging there. LeShawna started to feel defensive toward Harold as Duncan continued to harass him and and claims she has her eye on Duncan.

It is shown in The Chefshank Redemption that LeShawna's protectiveness of Harold is not only limited to having her eye on Duncan, as she even voted her own close friend Gwen off the competition after seeing her smash Harold over the head with a shovel. There were other factors involved, such as Gwen subtly trying to throw the challenge in order to let the Killer Grips (to repay the debt of letting Trent do the same for her for two episodes), which Heather caught onto very quickly and tried to convince the rest of the Gaffers that Gwen was up to something, but up until the end, LeShawna dismissed her like many others did. After seeing the incident with Harold, it is assumed that LeShawna began to have her own doubts about Gwen as she joined with Harold and Heather to vote off Gwen.

In One Flu Over the Cuckoos, LeShawna tries to create an alliance with Duncan and Harold in order to keep Heather off her back. However, as Duncan and Harold continue to be bitter enemies towards each other, neither have shown any interest at all in forming a full alliance, though neither seem to mind forming an alliance with only LeShawna herself. This frustrates LeShawna, who seems determined to get this alliance to work in some capacity by mediating between Harold and Duncan's feuds, especially since her main support in Gwen is now gone from the competition.

LeShawna and Duncan end up working together to find a cure for the other castmates who have allegedly contracted a deadly disease during the medical challenge. In spite of all the frenzy, the two are able to calmly and maturely put aside their differences and work together to find out that it was a hoax and that no one was dying. In spite of LeShawna's efforts, Duncan and Harold still refuse to build an alliance with her if it means putting up with each other, and LeShawna simply dismisses them as fools for being immature. The Gaffers win this episode's competition mainly due to her help, and as such, she is the one castmate chosen to receive the reward: a small vacation away from the film block to spend with a relative of hers. She makes this especially decisive by putting on a convincing act where she cries out of frustration because she thought she was going to lose her teammates.

Through this, her best cousin LeShaniqua (who takes on LeShawna's Camp TV original prototype design, only with a different color scheme) makes an appearance at the end of the episode as LeShawna rides off in the Lame-o-sine with her, ending the false crying act and now relieved that she's earned a break from the troubles of the Total Drama series. During the dangerous submarine challenge In Masters of Disasters, LeShawna accidentally tells the Screaming Gaffers that she never cries. After Duncan says that she was crying pretty hard for the award, the Gaffers discover that she had her crying two episodes prior. Angered by the trick, Heather lashes out at LeShawna until Duncan breaks them up and Harold tells them to calm down.

In Full Metal Drama, LeShawna tries to win her team's trust by letting them use the only working bathroom stall, but only Harold accepts the bribe. When Chef makes a fruit and bran smoothie for Owen's backed up colon, LeShawna takes it instead claiming she's been starving since DJ's elimination. Later when Owen refuses Chef's second smoothie, LeShawna takes it again, but this time she starts to experience stomach cramps. Then when she, Heather, and Harold are hiding from the Killer Grips (minus Lindsay), LeShawna starts bloating with gas, on the verge of farting. When Heather and Harold try soothing her so she doesn't fart and give away their location, LeShawna apologizes to Harold for lying, and then releases a massive fart, giving away their location.

In Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, LeShawna's team refuses to let her forget about her lies, to the point where even Harold starts picking at her, even if it is just to stay in Heather and Duncan's favor. LeShawna swears revenge on her team but is instead locked in a vault for the bank heist challenge. When they fail to break her out and the bank robbery gear stuck in there with her, the team abandons her to catch up with the Grips. LeShawna spends the entire day trapped in the vault, but takes the time to rethink her actions against the team. After the awards ceremony, Chris and Chef wonder if they forgot something, but brush it off, leaving LeShawna trapped for the night. This act of betrayal will surely worsen things between LeShawna and the Gaffers.

At the beginning of One Million Bucks, B.C., LeShawna was released from the bank vault and gets into a bit of an argument with Heather on why she and their team had left her in there. Moments later, LeShawna tells Lindsay and Beth to be careful with each other now that Courtney had joined their team. LeShawna also saves Harold from the Woolly Beavers as he was getting some firewood from the challenge. LeShawna is put up against Lindsay in the pedestal challenge, and wins. She was also worried that Harold would get attacked by the beavers again just as he and Justin were getting ready to fight on top of the pedestals.

In Million Dollar Babies, LeShawna gets into deeper trouble. While she was on her spa night, she was bad-mouthing everyone to her cousin LeShaniqua. Beth revealed this on Courtney's PDA after LeShawna continuously taunted her about not having a boyfriend. She is chosen to participate in the fourth challenge, a slam dunk competition, and she beats Justin in it. In the fifth and final challenge, LeShawna improvises a cheer about each and every castmate to clear up the bad air. But the Grips win the challenge, and the Gaffers are sent to the elimination ceremony. LeShawna gets the final award after Harold, Duncan and herself voted for Heather. Before Heather's departure, LeShawna tells Heather that she considers her as a friend. In return, Heather gives LeShawna her wig.

Despite the apology in the previous episode, LeShawna still gets the cold shoulder in Dial M for Merger. She seems upset learning that the teams are dissolving, as many of the Grips are still mad at her. But things turn around when Harold and Duncan finally agree to join in an alliance together, while working to get through the lasers, which Leshawna had many problems with. She, again, gets upset with Courtney, as she was using their lives as bargaining chips for a zip-line ride down from the almost-exploding building. She also fails to defuse her bomb.

In Super Hero-ld, LeShawna insulted Courtney and Lindsay's smell after being in the cheese factory. LeShawna was upset that the challenge was so early in the morning. As a superhero, she was 'Super Aqua Chick' and had the power to throw water. In this episode, it is shown that she still has feelings for Harold. After a strange swirl of conversation of who is to be voted off, Harold ends up torn between voting off Duncan, for obvious reasons, or LeShawna for her treachery. In the end, LeShawna leaves. Before she leaves, she tells Harold to keep sticking up for himself and to take Duncan down.

In The Aftermath: III, LeShawna reveals that she still loves Harold, but won't let it get past the friendship level. She notices Geoff is a Chris replica and is not happy about it. So then she, Bridgette, Owen, and Heather work together to take Geoff down and return him to his normal self.

Although she is not seen, in The Princess Pride it is clear that LeShawna is still watching Harold as he continues to compete. When he bought one of Courtney's music CDs because it reminded him of LeShawna, she forwarded him a note, saying that if he continued listening to that "skinny rich girl's" music, she would have to hurt him, badly. Harold mentions LeShawna after finding a snail in Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen. He says that the snail and LeShawna were like twins. During Harold's training in the same episode, Duncan uses motivation to get Harold to hit a punching bag by exclaiming that he kissed LeShawna, which made Harold angry enough to break through the punching bag and strangle Duncan.

LeShawna admits that she will miss everyone in The Aftermath: IV, but wants someone to pick a winner so they can go home. She was shocked and angry when Beth ate all the cookies in the gift basket without sharing. LeShawna sits next to Heather in this episode, and tells her to "let the girl believe." Her question to Beth and Duncan was about what they would do with the money. Beth said she would buy many things she wanted and a school for underprivileged children. Duncan lied and said he would build two schools for underprivileged children. She was after Owen in voting and was grossed out because he used the voting booth as a restroom.

Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special shows that LeShawna and Tyler were in various other reality shows after Total Drama Action. She admits she did all those shows for the money. While on the bus to stop Chris from doing Total Drama Dirtbags, she is shown to get along with DJ's mom. She gave up her bra so it could be used as a catapult to attack the Total Drama Dirtbag bus. Later her bra saved everyone from crashing when the bra got caught on a branch. She was one of the campers to not look for help and is qualified to compete on Total Drama World Tour.

Video log
LeShawna's friend, Jasmine, sends her a video log like the other campers in the final five. LeShawna was the only camper who had a Video log where their family weren't in.

Jasmine begins with her rendition of Romeo and Juliet and then talks about why she should be in season two of Total Drama Island, as though she is auditioning. When someone whispers that she's there to do something nice for LeShawna, Jasmine then offers a signed photograph of her. She somewhat resembles Courtney.

The first member of her family that was seen was LeShaniqua who was seen in One Flu Over the Cuckoos.

Audition tape
In her audition, LeShawna lists some of her good qualities and tells the viewers to call her if they want her on the show. Then she holds her cell phone and waits for the call, losing her patience when she gets no immediate response.

View LeShawna's audition tape

Camp TV
LeShawna appeared In Camp TV, Total Drama Island's prototype phase with the majority of the cast. She also was one of the main characters. Her character was virtually the same as it is today, with her famous quote: "LeShawna's in the house." In the first phase, LeShawna had an entirely different color scheme, outfit, hairstyle, and a hat.

There was a another design with the same head as the first design, but has a shirt that looks very similar to the one in the final design, a mini skirt, and heels. By the time the original promo aired, she looks nearly the same as her current design; her clothes only look a little loose-fitting and she has one armband that matches the color of her shirt. LeShawna appeared alongside Lindsay often during the promo; it is uncertain if they were to be best friends or enemies, as LeShawna appears to offend Lindsay in one scene by saying no white girl will win the competition. In another scene, Lindsay is seen painting LeShawna's toenails.

Since Heather did not exist in Camp TV, it's hard to say who LeShawna's rival was supposed to be. The original LeShawna with the hat and the high heels is seen on the "cheesy tabloid fame" magazine that Chris is holding up in the pilot episode. The design appears again in the form of LeShaniqua, LeShawna's cousin, who appears at the end of One Flu Over the Cuckoos.
