MacArthur

Valentina “MacArthur" Escobar was a Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race contestant and finalist as a member of The Police Cadets with Sanders
== Personality ==
Competitive and brash by nature, MacArthur plays the "bad cop" of the simplistic duo. She is not above abusing her power by breaking a few rules in order to win. She is known for being an aggressive person, as well as being a control freak; when she wants to get something done, she will complete it whatever the cause may be. This ranges from commandeering a taxi from its driver, to giving a ticket to Sanders for "excessive complaining" and passing gas right in front of her partner. MacArthur is proud of her physical skills and often teases her partner for being weaker than her.
Despite this, MacArthur is not without a code of honor, as she is still willing to uphold the law. She would never leave a man behind, as seen when she carries Sanders on her shoulder several times whenever Sanders is unable to walk. After accidentally getting Sanders injured, MacArthur begins to see the consequences in her actions and becomes more in control of herself. Because of her tomboyish nature, MacArthur easily makes friends with the Surfer Dudes after they bond through animal farts and at the same time, dislikes nice and feminine people like Kitty. She is aware of Brody's crush towards her, but doesn't return the feelings until the last episode.
