Courtney (Total Drama)

Courtney is a major antagonist in the Total Drama franchise.

## Her Fallen Ranking

### Debated Validations

* She was once a CIT and ran for High School President. As she mentions on her tape in Total Drama Island and World Tour. However, this information isn’t reliable considering her history with lying and her overall disloyalty.
* She has seemed to show feelings for Duncan. However, it could be said that she later on seemed to use Duncan rather than caring for him like true love.
* Her rivalry with Gwen is somewhat understandable. Since this happened around Total Drama: Reunion revealing Duncan cheating on Courtney with Gwen, and Duncan choosing to be with Gwen, and even Duncan still fueling the love triangle rivalry with Courtney and Gwen. However, this can barely hold up to her actions now since she is way past/beyond being redeemed and more towards the ladder being a Fallen Hero.
* She seemed to have genuine care for Gwen, as she said she missed Gwen and wanted to form an alliance. However, it could be possible she lied since she wrote down a plan against her own team in the Heroic Hamsters, plus her using one of her alliance Sam as a shield.
* She wanted to form a relationship with Scott. Although, she may have done this to get Duncan jealous rather than caring for Scott and she plotted against him and even drew him as a rat.

### What makes her heroic?

* Although, many of these things are implied or mentioned by her or Chris McLean and this information are more for a grain of salt. It is said that she has once participated in many times an official for some groups being a CEO or a School President. Showing she was willing to at least do some good being a responsible student before the eventual events of Total Drama.
* She was likely one of the possible contestants as well as the host Chris McLean who warned Gwen about the crazy psycho chainsaw killer with a hook and an eye patch.
* She has shown genuine care Duncan and even the contestants for the Total Drama franchise. Especially with the well-being of the many contestants when Duncan is laughing at the lives of the contestants being at stake.
* She does root for Heather to fight against Alejandro.

### What made her become villainous?

* She has had prior altercations with her peers during her audition tape, which shows how much of a control freak she is.
* Although, she did have feelings for Duncan she was more controlling and manipulative which was the reason for Duncan leaving Courtney and being with Gwen.
* When realizing Harold eliminated Courtney through the means of cheating through the voting system to spite Duncan. Which ultimately leads to Courtney rather talking to Chris about the injustice decides to instead take the laws into her own hands chasing after Harold and eventually tying a curfew pole light to Harold's stomach which is no better.
* For obvious reasons, her control freak nature shows that she has had many further rivalries with not just Duncan but Gwen many times due to in her own little world believing Gwen stole Duncan from Courtney.
* Was fighting Gwen because of a past footage of Duncan and Gwen kissing.
* She seemed to care about Gwen. Even saying she missed her when fighting her. Courtney wanted to start an alliance with Gwen. However, this could have been out of total pragmatism. As she drew out plans to plot against her own team that the malevolent one then reveals.
* She can be shown to be a Social Darwinist being using vulnerable and weakened underdog Sam as a shield. This has caused her to be within the Villainous Vultures which is welly-deserved.
* Her worse moral event horizon that she crossed was merely attempting a crazy plan on her team that Mike as "Mal" then pointed out.
