## Biography

Ivan is the youngest of two children. Ivan was once a gifted piano player. Ivan barely watched any television (as he was constantly practicing the piano) before he first was introduced to Total Drama Island. He quickly became obsessed, he started blogging about the show, and watching the show so many times that he can recite each episode word for word. He no longer practices the piano, much to his parents chagrin. He is the president of his local TDI fan club.

Ivan has joined Total Drama to put his knowledge of TDI to good use. He wants to make his dream of appearing on the show come true.

## Total Drama: Boney Island

Ivan began the game excited to be there, saying what a big fan he was of the show and that he always wanted to be on it, in Let the Games Begin... After You Meet the Campers, That Is. He was disappointed to learn that the game was not going to be held on Total Drama Island. Shortly after teams were formed, in The Island of Screams, Ivan was offered an alliance by Zane. Ivan was the first to accept an alliance with the alliance-crazed Zane after Zane explained that the alliance would be more similar to Total Drama Island's Guys' Alliance and not Heather's Alliance. When Ivan's team lost the first challenge in this installment and he voted for Reginald. Ivan received the first marshmallow of the season. This made him extremely excited.

In Duels of Hazard, Reginald asked who voted for him in the previous campfire ceremony. Ivan honestly told him that he did and the reason. This helps Reginald begin working at being nicer to the other campers. At the challenge, which was a jousting match with a camper from the opposing team, Ivan was paired with Blair. Blair's extensive chatting caused Ivan to fall asleep and she was able to force him off of his platform. Ivan's close ally, Zane, was eliminated in this episode. In the following challenge during Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Woolly Beavers?, Ivan accidentally opened the makeshift cage for his team and released a Woolly Beaver, ultimately causing his team to lose. Ivan received the final marshmallow, while Dirk was eliminated for not trying very hard in the challenge. Ivan was excited to receive the final marshmallow, feeling that it held significance.
 Ivan also struggled with the diving challenge in For Wetter or For Worse. The Screeching Spiders won this challenge, however, because of some tampering with the other team's chances. Ivan failed to realize that the other team had been sabotaged. During the Blind Man Walking challenge, Ivan volunteered to lead his blindfolded team to gather flags and avoid falling into holes. Ivan actually did very well at this challenge, and led his team to victory.

In Wheel of Misfortune, Ivan voiced his surprise at winning the previous challenge, but also how much he didn't like living in the wild and how hard he thought the other challenges were. Ivan was thrilled to hear that the next challenge was a tribute to the original season of Total Drama Island, until he found out that it was the challenge from Phobia Factor. Ivan revealed,, at least with LeShawna's fear, that he wasn't afraid of these things until he saw Total Drama Island. Ivan refused to compete in any of the individual challenges, causing his team to lose. Ivan was voted out, but expressed that, despite his struggle with the challenges, he had the time of his life.

In The Biggest Losers, the eliminated characters, including Ivan, were given a chance to return to the game by appealing to viewers for their votes. Ivan plead that he would do really well because he knew the game well and wouldn't have to worry about letting his team down in challenges as he assumed a merge was soon. Ivan was not voted to return.

Ivan supported Sabrina to win, in Won for the Money.

## After Total Drama: Boney Island

Ivan returned home and went back to his normal routine. He watched his season and became a little depressed, but moved on after the next season came on. At the reunion for Total Drama: Boney Island, Chris mentioned that five contestants would return for the All-Star season. Ivan was excited at the notion, but he then began to doubt that he would get called back, due to his poor performance on his season. Ivan gave up his dream of appearing on another season. He eventually began growing, and grew quite tall. He still watched the Total Drama series as a fan, but wasn't too excited for it, as he once was. He began studying harder, and taking his schoolwork more seriously. Ivan watched an episode of Total Drama Tropics, and became hooked like he once had been. He was really fond of Al, and he soon became his favorite contestant. When Al won, Ivan was surprised. He didn't think someone like Al would ever win, and was thrilled by it. Ivan then thought about the fact that he had the chance to return if he was asked. Ivan began working out regularly, eventually learning to enjoy it. He also was able to afford plastic surgery on his nose, something he had felt insecure about for years. He also went back to watch each season of Total Drama many times, and took rigorous notes on it. Ivan is in college, and his grades began to go down after he became obsessed with Total Drama, again. Ivan is less vocal about his obsession, but does get excited when talking about his favorite show, sometimes.

Ivan is extremely thrilled that he got asked to appear on the Total Drama series, again. He hopes to do a lot better than he did on his first season, and even win.

## Total Drama: The All-Stars

Ivan arrived and tried to act cool, in All-Starstruck. He stated in confessional that he had studied a lot of Total Drama, and knew that no one liked a fanboy, so he would try his best to keep calm. Fiona wondered who Ivan was, and he reminded her that they were on the same season. She pretended to recognize him. Ivan stated that he had to keep an eye on Quintin, due to his prior scheming. He held up charts depicting Quintin's plots. He stated that he knew Fiona and Kendall were married, because he was at their wedding in a waiter disguise. Yi Min mistook Ivan for a bulked up Herman, and insisted that he was right. Quintin told Yi Min that Ivan wasn't Herman. When Chris stated that the Total Drama Tropics contestants were on their way, Ivan crossed his fingers. He squealed when he saw that Al was present. Ivan hyperventilated into a paper bag. He pretended that it was asthma, and Quintin stated that it wasn't.

After Janice fainted, in Fatal Distraction, Ivan stayed by her until she woke up. He insisted that it was no big deal, and she thanked him. He walked her back to her cabin. For the challenge, Ivan suggested that pieces of the sought after mannequin were in the water. He directed Quintin to search the woods for some pieces by himself. Ivan found Waterlily and handed her his jacket, stating that he didn't want her to be eliminated like her first time.

In Modest Muse, Ivan caught Daniel and Waterlily kissing, freaked out, and ran to confessional. He stated that Quintin and Waterlily should be together, and that it was a mistake for him to be eliminated so early. When Ivan exited the confessional, Hedda ran into Ivan, noting that he had been crying. They both lamented the fact that Waterlily and Daniel were now a couple. Ivan and Hedda hugged as they cried together. Hedda and Ivan schemed to break up Waterlily and Daniel. Hedda described Ivan as the third hottest guy there and pushed him to get Daniel to become jealous of Ivan and Waterlily. In his swimsuit, he went on a walk with Waterlily, and attempted to mention Quintin's good points.

Ivan and Hedda hid together in the bushes, spying on Waterlily and Daniel, in Watermelon-choly. Waterlily and Daniel got into an argument, and Ivan and Hedda squealed in excitement, scaring Daniel and Waterlily and causing them to admit to each other that they were sorry. It began to rain heavily, and Hedda was worried about her hair. Ivan picked her up and was carrying her back to her cabin. When they came across Janice, Hedda told Ivan to put her down. He accidentally dropped her in the mud. She then hurried off to her cabin. Janice explained to Ivan that she saw him leave his cabin, and wanted to make sure he was okay, after seeing the rain start to fall. He returned to his cabin, and removed his shirt and jacket, surprising his male team members by his tattoos. He explained that he got them when he was still into Total Drama. Before the watermelon jousting challenge, Chris uttered some incorrect information about Dirk's elimination, and Ivan corrected him. Chris called him a know-it-all fanboy. Ivan defended himself in confessional, stating that he was in the bottom two when Dirk was eliminated. He then revealed that he had kept and bronzed the marshmallow he received in that elimination ceremony. Ivan laughed When Kristy and Sheena complained about Chris' declaration of it being a random match-up, recalling a similar situation between Sabrina and Katrina. Ivan was matched against Creigh, but felt bad about Creigh's condition. Ivan was about to forfeit when Creigh threw his watermelon stick at him. Creigh fell first, however, and Ivan won the challenge for his team.

Hedda pulled Ivan into the bushes, in Comic Mischief Makers, and talked about starting an alliance with him. She convinced him that alliances weren't evil, and to pretend to like Janice in order to get her in their alliance. After Sheena was voted out, Ivan and Hedda discussed that the reason was that she kissed Jonathan, and they voted her out to protect the canon. They agreed to go after Waterlily and Daniel the next chance they got. Ivan and Hedda wore owl costumes in a tree while spying on Waterlily, in Puppet Tears. Ivan attempted to impress Janice. Hedda continued to tell Ivan and Janice things she made up, like Ivan said Janice was beautiful and he wanted to kiss her. Janice leaned in to kiss Ivan, and he was hesitant. Hedda pushed his face toward Janice, and he ended up hitting his forehead against hers, knocking her unconscious. When she came to, she saw that she was in the medical tent with Ivan. He said he stayed with her all night, and she thanked him and asked if there was anything she could do to repay him. He told her that he was worried that Waterlily and Daniel's relationship was one sided and that Daniel was taking more than he was giving. Ivan helped Janice with breaking a puppet for the challenge, but left to complete his part of the challenge.

Ivan and Hedda discussed feeling disappointed that Daniel quit when Waterlily was voted out, in Environmentality. Janice randomly appeared, and Ivan told Janice he was nice to her because he liked her, not meaning in a romantic way. She leaned in to kiss him, making him nervous. He got up and said he had to go back to his cabin. When he got inside, he saw Beau making Jonathan do an intense workout. He looked confused when Jonathan mouthed 'help me'. In the morning, Jonathan told Beau that his workouts were too difficult for him, and that he didn't want him to train him, anymore. Beau was hurt, and went for a run. Ivan told Jonathan that he would train him, knowing about losing weight starting as an obese person. Ivan later met with Hedda who scolded him for not kissing Janice. He then revealed that he'd never kissed anyone, before. Hedda was surprised, assuming that he had. After learning that Daniel and Waterlily were both originally eliminated seventh, Ivan suggested to Hedda that they stop interfering in their relationship.

In Quiz Showtime, Ivan helped Jonathan with his work out routine. Ivan won the Total Drama trivia challenge for his team, though he disturbed some people with the things he knew. In LARPapalooza, Hedda planned for Ivan to fall on Janice from a tree. They saw that Al had been eliminated from the other team. Ivan began to cry, and explained that it was his dream to be on the same team as Al. Hedda sympathized and said that Ivan could take the night off from their plan involving Janice. Ivan took Janice aside in order to ask her to be his girlfriend. She attempted to kiss him, but he said they should go back to the others, leading her back to the other contestants. Ivan was recruited by Beau to be his horse butt in the LARPing challenge.

Ivan complimented Janice's role in winning the previous challenge, in Mystery Loves Company. They walked off together. Ivan and Janice almost kissed, but the moment was ruined by a loud noise. Janice went back to her cabin, after becoming worried. Hedda arrived and told Ivan that it would be in their best interest to vote out Beau, due to his popularity. Ivan threw the challenge at Hedda's urging. Ivan ended up kissing Janice to be sure that she would vote along with his alliance. Ivan was shocked when Janice was voted out. Hedda later explained to him that when she finally saw Ivan kiss Janice, she got jealous and got her voted out. She admitted that she liked Ivan. He replied that he didn't know what to say.

Ivan admitted to Hedda that he didn't like Janice in a romantic way, but felt bad about betraying her by dating Hedda, in Embar-Razzmatazz. Ivan admitted to Jonathan that he reminded him of him on his original season, being viewed as a liability. He wanted to let Jonathan have another chance. During the challenge, Zane was present to tell an embarrassing story about Ivan. He told an extremely embarrassing story about him. After, Zane admitted that he made up the story.

After seeing Hedda look upset, in Attack of the Deadly Tree Frog People, Ivan stopped to talk with her. She stated that the previous challenge made her realize that she didn't have any friends. Ivan assured her that he was her friend, and that she could always try to make more friends. She thanked him for the advice. During the challenge, Ivan hid from the tree frog people in a tree with Hedda. Ivan was nervous, and held Hedda tight. They started making out, and Ivan said that he really liked Hedda.

Hedda made a signal to call Ivan outside, in Me, Myself, and Ice. She told him that she just wanted to see him, and they started kissing. After the challenge, Beau confronted Ivan about kissing Heda while he was dating Janice. Jonathan joined the conversation. Ivan explained that he was only pretending to like Janice to get her vote, which really upset Beau. He marched off, and Jonathan said that what Ivan did sounded like something Heather would do. This shocked Ivan so much that he kept repeating 'H-Heather?' even after he was voted out.

## Trivia

* Ivan received the first marshmallow of the season, and three marshmallows total.
* Ivan originally had brown hair, but I edited his character to have blond hair, because of the vast amount of brown haired contestants in Total Drama: Boney Island.
* Ivan frequently references Total Drama Island.
* Owen is Ivan's favorite Total Drama Island contestant, as he expressed in Let the Games Begin... After You Meet the Campers, That Is. Zane used this fact in order to persuade Ivan into joining his alliance.
* Owen is my least favorite TDI camper.
* Heather is Ivan's least favorite Total Drama Island competitor.
* Heather is my favorite Total Drama Island character.
* He often imitates Owen's pattern of speech, saying 'Woohoo!' before challenges just because Owen did.
* All of Ivan's fears are obviously those of the campers from Total Drama Island that made it to Phobia Factor. It's implied that Ivan did not have these fears before viewing Total Drama Island.
* Ivan's eyes were originally going to resemble the eyes of cartoon characters Flapjack and Spongebob Squarepants. In the picture drawn in Paint, this style did not resemble the style used in Total Drama Island and was changed.
* Ivan's image has changed greatly. His hands are different, but the rest of his image changed because he grew, and had plastic surgery on his nose.
* Ivan's updated image was more based on his original sketch. I couldn't draw his nose the way it was in his TD:BI pic and make it look right so I drew something more like his original nose. I explained it away as plastic surgery.
* I considered Ivan having dyed his hair brown, as I felt I had a lot of blonds in the All-Star story. His updated image looked too much like Billy Ray Cyrus, so I left him blond.
* Ivan in All-Stars was meant to be a hunk that is unaware of his looks, still associating himself as what he used to look like, in general.
* Reeve didn't view Ivan as a threat in the Total Drama trivia challenge as the others didn't realize that he was still a fanboy of the series.
* Ivan appeared shirtless in a scene in the All-Star story and no one noted his Al and Owen tattoos. They are mentioned in a later scene, though.
* In my original idea of a fans vs. favorites season, Ivan would have competed, but he would have been on the 'fans' team. His elimination and personality would have been similar to his All-Star story.
* Ivan's clothing in All-Stars is the exact color of the first three winners' clothing. His jacket is the same color as Sabrina's sweater, his shirt is the same two colors as Al's shirt, and his pants are the same color as Tsuyoshi's jeans. He isn't wearing a reference to Celia, as her win hadn't happened in the story when his new image was revealed. In case someone caught on to the color references I didn't want to spoil her win. He wears those colors thinking it will bring good luck, though he never mentions it.
