Helga

Helga Schreiber, labeled The Bookworm, was a contestant on Total Drama School who was placed on the Killer Apples. She later returned for Total Drama: Tiki Jungle and was placed on Over Nine Thousand. After that, she returned for Total Drama: Superstar Showdown and was placed on the Swagged Out Citrus Fruits before being switched to the Hopalong Ralphcakes.
==Biography==
Helga grew up in a family with a single mom and twin sisters, who always hung out with their friends. Helga's mom works at a bakery and had to leave early and come back really late, so Helga is sort of used to being home alone. She doesn't care, because the only thing she really cares about in the world is a really good book. At school, Helga is one of the "boring" people who just blends in with the crowd. She doesn't have many friends, and sits by herself at lunch, just reading. Helga ignores all of that "status" stuff, because she doesn't need friends. Her favorite book series is The Thirsty Games, and she camped out in front of the book store the night before Mockingbird came out.
Helga joined Total Drama School because she loves school. She hopes to spread the joy of reading across the nation.

==After Total Drama: Tiki Jungle==
After TD:TJ, Helga returned home and decided that she would go to college to become a writer, her number one dream in life. She hasn't interacted with anyone from either of her seasons, or really, anyone at all. She did join a book club, but quit after the first meeting because of the others' "paleozoic" taste in books. She is still her snide and rude self, but she did decide to lose some weight because she didn't want to be made fun of. Helga joined an exercise program and managed to lose 100 pounds in the span of two years. Now people rarely recognize her, but she likes it like that because she doesn't enjoy signing autographs, even though she has the second-smallest fanbase out of any of the contestants (only in front of Manty).
Helga was picked to be in the fifth season because of her sarcastic and grumpy attitude and small but loyal fanbase, and she initially refused, but changed her mind when she was allowed to bring her books again.

==Trivia==
*Helga's body design in School and Tiki Jungle is modeled after Leshawna's, and her personality was modeled after (a female and much ruder) Noah.
*The red star on Helga's shirt is meant to be a parody of brands like Abercrombie, American Eagle, etc.
*Helga's sudden morph in personality in Total Drama: Tiki Jungle was a result of her early elimination in School.
*Helga was originally going to be the first boot in Tiki Jungle (before I had created the character of Manty) but I realized that that would make bringing her back in the first place pointless, and I desperately needed a snarky straight-man character. I didn't expect her to become a fan favorite whatsoever.
*I deeply regret eliminating Helga right before the merge in TDSS, mostly because I was really looking forward to writing her plot with Wolfgang. Even just switching her and Estrella's placings, if nothing else, was something I probably should've done in retrospect.
*Helga and Wolfgang's relationship was first decided when I noticed that both of them had German-sounding names, and then realized they'd probably click very well. I also have to give a shout-out to Rhonda for helping me develop this relationship. Thanks, Rhonda!
*In the second chapter of Total Drama Lakeside, taking place five years after the end of TDSS, it's revealed Helga has become a mystery novelist. 
**Her last name is also revealed - Schreiber, a fitting name as it's German for "writer." 
*Total Drama Tokyo is the only story in the series where Helga does not either appear or get mentioned. Outside of Chris and Chef, she's the character to appear or get mentioned in the most stories, with five out of six.
