Noah

Noah (Lucas in French), labeled The Schemer, was a camper on Total Drama Island on the Screaming Gophers team. He is currently unqualified to compete in Total Drama Action.

Biography
Being born in a large family with numerous siblings, Noah hardened himself over the years to prevail through life's obstacles and learned to overcome problems by using his intelligence rather than his physical strength. He has been said to be an avid player of video games and has nearly-encyclopedic knowledge of modern literature and other forms of media. In school, Noah performs well and is even competent (and popular) enough to become student council president. Noah joined Total Drama Island to show that he could win a reality show utilizing brains over brawn.

Total Drama Island
Noah seems to be sarcastic, cynical, pessimistic, and sardonic. He harbors a dislike towards LeShawna for calling him a disrespectful turkey when he was voted off (something he did not enjoy hearing from her). However, in Haut Camp-ture, he admitted that he preferred LeShawna over Duncan, Heather, and Justin because of her ingenious strategy of locking Heather in the freezer in If You Can't Take The Heat.... Noah, like many other campers, sided with Owen in the final episode.

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). In Haut Camp-ture he says that he didn't kiss a guy and Izzy teases him and sees a flash back and he refuses to comment about the incident, and frequently denies that it ever happened until he was proved wrong. In the same episode, Noah is seen running in fifth place at the 20-kilometer run, however, he later passes out due to lack of air and has to be rescued by Owen. Noah might not have fully passed out, because when the Gophers won the race, he is suddenly revived and cheers with his team.

Noah is eliminated in Dodgebrawl after insisting that he leave the challenges involving brawn to the rest of his team, and never even tries to compete in the challenge (even Gwen, who was still exhausted from The Big Sleep's challenge, competes for her team). He sarcastically cheers for his team throughout the dodgeball competition, and the anger felt by the team after they lose is directed at Noah when he hypocritically tells them that they put in a weak effort. Considering his attitude in this episode in the previous one, it is insinuated that Noah has the potential to be a strong competitor, but simply lacks the will and/or desire to utilize said potential and only does so when he sees fit.

In the episode Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island!, Noah teams up with with Izzy and Eva, more-or-less being civil with them most of the time (but admits in the Confessional stall that he finds Izzy to be off-kilter). He is somewhat sadistic, a trait most prominently shown in Haut Camp-Ture. He still showed this trait when Duncan was reeling in pain from a sprained ankle after Courtney abandoned him; Noah stood there and insulted Duncan to his face, thinking he was too helpless to retaliate, but Noah underestimated him and lost his pants as a result. He also did not hesitate to scold Eva for falling for Justin's charms when they were in possession of the case.

Noah has a distinct dislike for Justin. This feud seems to have originated when Justin voted off Noah and later escalated during their stay in Playa Des Losers, possibly because of the characters' clashing personalities. The feud is shown in the special, when Noah calls Justin the "anti-me".

It is possible that Noah has played a part in helping Eva with her anger management, as he reminded her that crushing Justin's skull was a step too far. Eva accepted Noah's scolding as constructive criticism, rather than responding with rage as she normally would have in the past. At the end of the episode, he and Eva dump buckets of chum on Justin, who had just obtained the million-dollar case from Lindsay. Izzy then runs in and steals the case while Justin is distracted, but Noah and Eva did not have enough time to run to the dock and land in the lake to tie with the other campers, making Noah ineligible to participate in Total Drama Action.



Total Drama Action
Noah returns to Total Drama Action as a guest on Total Drama Action Aftermath, along with the other eliminated contestants. Noah was shown to get along with the other campers during the events of The Aftermath: I and The Aftermath: II, but has yet to do or say anything of significance.

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 would be how he will come out on top.

Camp TV
Noah (along with Izzy, Courtney, and Heather) was one of the few campers to not appear in Camp TV. However, his current design bears some resemblance to Ezekiel's original design, meaning his role was likely merged with Ezekiel's.

Trivia

 * Noah will not appear in Total Drama Action as a competitor, but still makes occasional cameo appearances during talk show-like segments including The Aftermath: I and The Aftermath: II.
 * Noah is the first of the Screaming Gophers to be voted off.
 * Noah is not seen taking the Boat of Losers upon his elimination. He actually walks off in the opposite direction of the dock (presumably to gather his belongings before leaving).
 * He demonstrates his enjoyment to see other people fight in Not So Happy Campers - Part 2 when seeing LeShawna fight with Heather about jumping off the cliff and later on in Haut Camp-ture when Harold and Courtney get into a slap fight and fall into the pool; Noah exclaims "Excellent!".
 * It is interesting to note that Harold is the only character who goes out of his way to attempt to befriend Noah (though Noah denies him). While Heather compliments him in the Confessional stall in later episodes, it is more likely that she was merely trying to manipulate him (and the other losers) to vote for her to win.
 * Noah states in Haut Camp-ture that he has a Golden Labrador dog which "drools less over a rib-eye steak" than Courtney drools over Duncan.
 * A running gag in the show is for Noah to get hit in the head with something after sarcastically insulting another camper.
 * Dodgebrawl: Noah is hit in the face with a dodgeball after cheering "Go, team, go" with no enthusiasm whatsoever when his team is losing the challenge. In the same episode, he is pelted with Marshmallows, some of which hit his face, after saying he's "the only one with any brains on this team".
 * Haut Camp-ture: Courtney throws her drinking glass at his head after he tells her to stop whining.
 * Noah's dark-complected skin has raised several questions as to what country his family line originated from. It is theorized is that he is of Native American descent or of Indian descent, but this is merely speculation.
 * It is revealed in the special that Noah wears boxers.
 * Noah has a girlish shriek when scared, as revealed in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island. It is similar to Harold's girlish scream in Dodgebrawl.
 * In Dodgebrawl, Chris says, "The first rule of dodgeball is-" to which Noah says, "Do not talk about dodgeball?"; a direct reference to the famous Fight Club line.
 * Noah is the only camper not seen jumping off the cliff, though he did do so as he is later shown with Trent in the water in the safe zone.
 * Noah is the only camper that possibly failed to complete the entire 20 kilometer run in The Big Sleep, as Owen was seen carrying him to the dining hall.
 * Although Noah is shown to be a sadist who loves to see fighting and misfortune among his competitors on numerous occasions, it is shown in The Aftermath: I that he is capable of having compassion, as he shares the same appalled expression as everyone else when Trent cries explains the real reason he obsesses over the number nine.
 * Noah is the only male camper who did not return to Total Drama Action who wasn't voiced by Peter Oldring.
 * Noah is said to be the smallest (possibly youngest) of nine siblings (including himself).
 * He apparently has life-threatening allergies that he mentions in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, but he never specifies what he is allergic to.
 * Noah is one of two characters (the other being Eva) who has yet to reveal a phobia in the series.
 * Noah is the only character to have kissed someone that is the same gender in The Big Sleep.
 * Until the special, Noah did not use the Confessional stall.
