**Dave** is a character from the *Total Drama* series.

A high-strung and neurotic hypochondriac with an intense anxiety towards all things filthy. Dave sees himself as the only normal person on the show and is easily frustrated or annoyed by the eccentricities displayed by most of the other Pakhitew Island competitors.

## **Personality**

Due to seeing himself as the only "normal" person on the show, Dave can be critical of people and expects little of them. He is a logical thinker, albeit a little uptight, and is a complete neat freak and has an intense fear of germs and bacteria. Dave is easily frustrated by his teammates, believing them (with the exception of Sky and Shawn) to be crazy, and often belittles them. Despite his pessimism, he generally means well and can be considerate of other people's feelings. However, all this began to drastically change as the season progress. His affection for Sky has made him prone to anxiety over being separated or turned down by her, making Dave a lot more whiny, prone to mood swings and affecting his overall performance in the competition. By the finale, Dave's mental state turns for the worse after discovering that Sky already had a boyfriend, turning him vindictive and out for revenge against the girl he thought he could trust.
