Noah

Noah, labeled The Schemer, was a camper on Total Drama Island on the Screaming Gophers team. He did not compete in Total Drama Action. He will be returning for Total Drama World Tour.

Biography
Ever since Noah was in diapers and examining the nutritional content of his pablum ingredients, his parents knew they had a child genius in their midst. Noah is a child prodigy with IQ readings off the charts, but the only numbers Noah is proud of are the high scores of his video game competitions. He's the only one in his Underground Alliance who knows how to get to the Secret 12th Level of Dragon Assassin. His heroes are Newton, Pythagoras, and Kranthor from the game Kosmic Kaos. With his multiweaponed-fantasyland survival skills, he auditioned to Total Drama Island in hopes to apply those skills to the real world. While he's not remotely coordinated or athletic, Noah is clever enough to come up with remarkable theories of why he should sit this one out, should he be asked to participate in anything that involves more than mental acuity. He learned that one in gym class. He may have an active mind, but he sure likes to sit. He includes that as one of his favorite hobbies, along with lying down and occasionally leaning. He knows he'll take a lot of heat for being the egghead nerd of the group, so he intends to beat them to the punch by unleashing an arsenal of sarcastic digs and put downs. He's got a sharp mind and plans on doing a lot of cutting. Being the runt of a nine-sibling litter, Noah has found a way to use brains over brawn with clever manipulation. He never got picked on in the schoolyard because he knew how to draft some lunkhead into smashing somebody's face if they got too close.

Total Drama Island
Noah seems to be sarcastic, cynical, pessimistic, and sardonic to most. He harbors a dislike towards LeShawna for calling him a turkey who is in need of a lesson in respect when he was voted off. However, in Haute Camp-ture, he admitted that he preferred LeShawna over Duncan, Gwen, Heather, and Owen 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 originally, not needing to be swayed by the party, in the final episode.

In The Big Sleep, he accidentally kissed Cody on the ear in his sleep. This was mentioned again in Haute Camp-ture, when Izzy teases him while he refuses to comment about the incident. He frequently denies that it ever happened until he was proved wrong by Trent. 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 or may have been faking to get carried, because when the Gophers won the race, he is suddenly revived and cheers with the rest of his team. Noah is eliminated in Dodgebrawl after insisting that he'd 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 states that sports aren't his "forté." 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 season finale, Noah teams up 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 Haute Camp-ture. He still showed this trait when Duncan was reeling in pain from a sprained ankle after Courtney abandons 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, even calling him "The Anti-Me." 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 advice 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 does not run with her then, thus not having enough time to run to the dock and land in the lake to tie with the other campers. This made Noah ineligible to participate in Total Drama Action.

Total Drama Action
Noah returns to Total Drama Action as a commentator 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, The Aftermath: II, The Aftermath: III, and Mutiny on the Soundstage. He is shown to be somewhat uncaring in The Aftermath: I when Trent is playing his guitar and singing about Gwen, Noah is the only one who shows no sympathy (even people like Eva and Courtney cared despite their personalities.)

For the rest of the season, Noah does nothing but sit quietly watching the Aftermath hosts run the show. He does however give the sarcastic, yet friendly "Yeah, right," to Owen during the season finale when he says he will eat healthier. Also, in the finale's alternate ending, he is seen congratulating Beth when she wins.

In the Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, people try to find information on where Noah has been since the show ended, but all they got was a blurry photo shot of him. Later, at the Gemmies, he reveals that he is Chris' assistant. He is fired minutes later by Chris because his latte was cold. He later joins the rest of the cast on a race to New York before the "Dirtbags" get there. They use DJ's bus, after Izzy's plan of building a boat proves to require too much work. Later we see him Insult Harold's plan to use some sort of bra-catapult to slow down the Dirtbags bus to which Gwen counterattacks with "Got any better ideas?" When the bus flies over a cliff, he gets squished by Owen. He is one of the contestants to stay behind with the bus. He is one of the contestants that Chris rescued and he was set to compete in Total Drama World Tour.

Audition tape
In his audition, Noah is congratulated by a friend, Joey, for making class president. Then, Noah says that his smartness 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. (And likely was minor.)

Trivia

 * Noah did not compete in Total Drama Action, but will also return to Total Drama World Tour.


 * Noah states in Haute Camp-ture that he has a Golden Labrador dog which "drools less over a rib-eye steak" than Courtney drools over Duncan. This makes him one of the few characters to own a pet.


 * A running gag in the show is for Noah to get hit in the head with something after sarcastically insulting another camper.


 * 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. However, considering that he prefers to let other team members do things related to brawn/sports rather than him, it's possible that he faked passing out so he would be carried.


 * Noah is one of the most quiet characters, since he only speak in four episodes.


 * Even though Noah was originally labeled "The Schemer," he has not shown to do any schemes on the show so far, most likely due to his early elimination. He was probably given this title due to him being cynical and clever at the same time, which, had he been given time, could've made an antagonist out of him. He is now labeled "The High IQ."


 * Noah and Ezekiel seem to have a few similarities between their personalities and participation in the game. This may possibly be because their characters may have been merged into one during the Camp TV era.
 * They both never received a marshmallow in Total Drama Island.
 * They were the first two males voted off in Total Drama Island.
 * They both did not compete, and thus had little to no participation, in Total Drama Action (however, unlike Ezekiel, Noah had one brief line in the last episode).
 * Both qualified for Total Drama World Tour.
 * They both are two of the three shortest males on the show (the other being Cody).
 * They are both two of the only three males on the show to have never been hit in the groin so far (the other being Geoff).
 * They are both sitting next to each other in the respective group shots at the end of both theme songs so far. Also, they were featured in their own brief moment in the Total Drama Island theme song, in which they are both tied up in Chef's kitchen, apparently about to be force-fed some of his food, shivering in fear and briefly glancing at each other with wide eyes.


 * Noah is the only male camper who did not return to Total Drama Action who wasn't voiced by Peter Oldring.


 * Noah, along with Harold, LeShawna and Courtney, are the only campers with known allergies.
 * He mentioned them in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1 calling them "life threatening allergies." He never specified what he's allergic to, though.


 * Noah and Cody have shown to have "accidents" with each other when they sleep.
 * The first is when Noah kisses Cody in The Big Sleep.
 * In Celebrity Manhunt, they can be seen cuddling up to each other shortly before Owen wakes up.
 * Noah's 6teen counterpart is Wayne.
 * Noah is the second lowest ranking male so far in the Total Drama series.
