Kristy

* S4: Wilderness
* S5: The All-Stars

Kristy is a contestant labeled **The Natural Born Leader** on Total Drama Wilderness and Total Drama: The All-Stars.

## Biography

Kristy has always had a take charge personality. In school, she took charge even though she was not in the student council. She led, anyway. With her family, she took a similar leadership role, as well. Kristy believes firmly that a good leader does not have to be bossy, and that you can be just as effective as a leader while remaining nice and calm, even in heated discussions. She also wanted to wrestle, just to prove herself that she was strong. She had a fairly good record, and she wrestled against male opponents. Now in college, Kristy hasn't had very many opportunities to take a leadership position, as she is more involved in her studies and following along in class. She doesn't have much of a social life, unfortunately, as her schedule makes her fairly busy.

Kristy decided to join the Total Drama series in order to put her leadership skills to use, and also to show that a leader can be pleasant. She also hopes to make some new friends.

## Total Drama Wilderness

When Chris introduced Kristy, in Another Day, Another Season, Brad assured him that no one cared. Kristy went on to explain that she hoped to be a good leader that wasn't controlling or nasty. Chris wished her luck. Kristy thanked him. He told her that he was being sarcastic.

Kristy revealed that she was Sheena's sister, in Trick or Tree, which Wade found amusing. When Reeve revealed that he was Stevie's brother, Kristy stated that he inspired her to try out for wrestling. Brad was annoyed when Kristy stated that Beau was the hottest guy in the history of the show. During the challenge, Kristy politely asked Joanna to tell her story after the challenge was over. Joanna agreed to do that.

In Any Given Monday, Kristy was concerned about Hedda being absent from her team's cabin. Shaila and Joanna told her not to make a big deal of it, and Kristy agreed not to, but said that she would go for a walk, and Yesenia joined her. Once outside, they were approached by Brad who asked them if they wanted to be in his alliance. The girls agreed to, while Kristy insisted that the alliance remain a nice one. Brad assured her that it would. During the football game challenge, Kristy volunteered to kick the field goal, which she did successfully. After Stefan won the challenge for his team, Kristy hugged him. He said that he liked touching, and Kristy asked him what he said, and he chose not to repeat himself.

When Hedda attempted to talk to Kristy, in Hidden Ballet, Kristy failed to reply, as she was thinking about something else. Kristy revealed to the others that there was an alliance going on. Hedda stated that she knew, and offered for the rest of the female contestants to be in the alliance. Kristy had the team band together for a huddle in order to discuss who they would sit out of the challenge. Kristy stated that Nolan should sit out, because of how well he did in the previous challenge. Kristy passed her part of the challenge by doing a series of somersaults across the stage, avoiding the paintballs fired by Chef Hatchet.

Kristy was concerned that Daniel wasn't eating, in Male Model Citizens. Brad felt intimidated when seeing Anders in his outfit for the modeling challenge. Kristy assured Brad that he was good looking, and that he shouldn't give up. She told him to do something. He agreed, but misunderstood her meaning, as he interfered with Anders' chances, after Kristy walked away. Kristy assured Yesenia that she shouldn't feel bad about feeling homesick, in Hostile Makeover. Kristy noted that Heda often dragged Brad into the woods after challenges.

Kristy walked up to Hedda as she looked on after Eduardo and said 'excellent', in Platformers, More Than Meets the Eye. Kristy mistakenly thought that Hedda liked Eduardo. During the challenge, Kristy wished Wade luck. He then proceeded to jump on her head in order to advance. She asked if he was crazy for doing something like that. After looking after Reeve as Wade brought him to the medical tent, in Just Another Mechanic Monday, Kristy looked queasy. Joanna began to tell her a disgusting story, but Kristy told her to stop, and then she ran off.

In Triple Treat, Kristy asked Joanna if she missed home, at all. Joanna assured her that she missed her family a little bit, but needed time to relax every now and then. Kristy told her to try to relax while they were in the competition. Kristy assigned roles for the entertainment competition, volunteering to dance, herself. She had Eduardo sit out after he demonstrated his horrible singing voice. Kristy was surprised by Joanna's operatic singing voice. Hedda and Kristy danced, but lost due to the superiority of the other team's performance. In Blindfolded Faith, Kristy assured Joanna that they should be safe for a while, as they hadn't offended anyone. Joanna reminded Kristy that they were in the minority on their team with two more guys than females. Kristy was disappointed when Brad threw the challenge.

Kristy suggested that she and Joanna try to cement their relationships with other teammates, in Do Make Me Laugh, in order to be sure that they would be safe in the next vote in case their team lost invincibility. Joanna suggested for Kristy to pretend to be attracted to Brad. Kristy was hesitant, as she thought that Brad would be annoyed by something like that. Brad and Eduardo approached them, and Joanna stated that Kristy was talking about one of their gorgeousness. Brad mistakenly thought they were talking about Eduardo, and Joanna went along with that, not caring which of the guys that Kristy pretended to like. Kristy felt bad about pretending to like Eduardo, and Joanna asked if there was any difference with her pretending to be attracted to Brad. Kristy blushed and said that there wasn't. Brad referred to Kristy as their leader when asking her how they should approach the comedy challenge. She told them to improvise. During the challenge, Kristy repeatedly slapped Joanna with a rubber chicken. She stopped when Brad told Francesca that she was beautiful, making her lose the challenge by smiling.

In Royal Blush, Kristy explained that they would be sharing a room with It's All Relative due to the merge. When the relatives of the contestants arrived, Kristy commented that Beau was way hotter in person. Joanna reminded her that she was supposed to like Eduardo. Sheena walked onto the podium and told a story about Kristy bending over to pick something up in front of a classmate she liked. Sheena explained that Kristy's pants ripped, and that the classmate was a forty year old undercover policeman. Kristy was embarrassed about the story, and blushed, taking the lead in the challenge. She held onto the lead until Stevie told his story about Reeve. When Frederick revealed that Brad's entire personality was an attempt at getting himself in the public eye in a hope to find his birth parents, she noted that those actions consumed his entire life. After Stevie won invincibility for Reeve, Kristy told Stevie that he was her idol. Kristy told Beau, before he left, that if he ever broke up with his girlfriend that she would be available. Joanna pinched Kristy's arm. Kristy was voted out, because Wade recalled that she had been referred to as her team's leader. Kristy accepted her loss, but Brad told her that he liked her for the fact that she treated him like everyone else, even when he acted like a jerk, even though he thought that she liked Eduardo. Kristy told Brad that she never liked Eduardo, and that she had a crush on him. Before leaving, Kristy leaned in to kiss Brad. He told her that he didn't believe in kissing before marriage. She then left, saying that she had a good time, and that she would miss everyone.

## After Total Drama Wilderness

Kristy went home with a new love, Brad. Other than that, not much has changed for Kristy. She is still the positive leader that she always was, and she feels that she did well on her season of the show with that mentality. She is slightly bothered that her relationship with Brad has gone particularly slow, as he is incredibly chaste. Kristy respects that, but he doesn't even believe in holding hands or kissing before marriage. He is still pretty loving, and supportive of all of her endeavors, showing up to all of her wrestling matches, despite his busy schedule.

Kristy decided to show up for Total Drama: The All-Stars, as she enjoyed her experience the first time. She hopes to continue her positive leadership role.

## Total Drama: The All-Stars

When Kristy arrived, in All-Starstruck, her sister Sheena was concerned, and asked her why she had to be so chipper. Kristy stated in confessional that she wished Sheena liked her more, but she wanted to focus on getting to know the other contestants better, and doing her best.

In Fatal Distraction, Melinda wondered where Hedda was when she randomly disappeared, but Kristy assured that she would get used to it. During the first challenge, Kristy took the lead and suggested that the team split up in pairs and not to search too far as Chris probably didn't put the pieces too far, as he hates labor.

Kristy and Sheena were paired against each other, in Watermelon-choly. While Sheena complained, Kristy knocked her into the quicksand with her watermelon baton. Sheena asked for help out of the quicksand, and Jonathan asked if they had to help her. Kristy was the one to help her.

Ophelia gave Kristy romantic advice regarding Brad, in Puppet Tears. Kristy revealed that she was uncomfortable because Brad didn't show her any affection, and she began to doubt his attraction to her. Ophelia hugged her and assured her that she was beautiful. She encouraged her to speak with Brad about what was bothering her once she saw him, again.

Kristy felt bad for eliminating her friend Melinda at the previous elimination, in LARPapalooza. She then said that they were outnumbered by the male contestants. Ophelia and Fiona assured her that it was better not to stress out about strategy, but to let things happen how they happen. At seeing Creigh's absence at breakfast, Kristy insisted that someone bring breakfast to him.

When the challenge based on the embarrassment challenge from Total Drama Wilderness was announced, in Embar-Razzmatazz, Kristy expressed her disdain of the challenge. Brad had arrived to tell an embarrassing story about her, but he stated that he loved her and didn't feel right about telling a story meant to embarrass her. After the challenge, Kristy confronted Brad over his lack of romantic gestures. He defended himself saying that he was crazy about her, but resolute about remaining chaste before marriage. He confided that he was afraid that he didn't know if he could control his emotions if he were to kiss her, or touch her. Kristy was eliminated, and on the Boat of Losers, she discovered Brad on the boat with her. He stated that he told the others to vote Kristy out. She was shocked, but he then proposed, wanting to be relatively alone with her. He said that he didn't see the point in her staying, as he had a good amount of money, already. She agreed to marry him. He then asked how she felt about starting a family soon. She interrupted him with a kiss. He smiled. He then asked if she wanted to get married in a few weeks to avoid media attention. She agreed.

## Trivia

* Kristy was the eleventh character eliminated. She received a total of five marshmallows.
* Kristy is Sheena's sister.
* Kristy has similar hair to Sheena. The girls are also meant to be opposites in their outlooks, Kristy being the more positive of the two.
* Kristy was originally going to share Sheena's hair color, but it made her look more similar to Sheena than I wanted. Kristy had a ponytail in her sketch, but that also made her look too similar to Sheena.
* Kristy was also considered to be named Chelsea.
* After sketching Kristy's image, I had planned to use the character model as either Sheena's sister or Missy's sister.
* I wanted to attempt a nice leader, as characters like Courtney, Hillary, and Quintin were all a bit bossy. When Kristy makes suggestions, she normally asks the rest of the team what they think, and also tactfully asks them to do things.
* Kristy takes some inspiration from Gretchen Cordy from the original season of Survivor. Both took the leadership role and were positive and well liked. Gretchen came in 10th place after the merge in a blindside.
* Throughout the story, Brad is the only male that Kristy consistently interacts with. This is a note of their liking each other, without blushing or smiling at each other all the time. Brad approached Kristy for the alliance as he kind of liked her at the point. The two are usually the first to show concern over each other. Hints are given throughout the scheme for Kristy and Eduardo to pretend to like each other.
* Kristy's elimination was originally going to be far more malicious. Brad and Kristy would have begun dating earlier in the story, and in an effort to be noticed, or talked about the next day, Brad would have betrayed her, telling the other team that she was their leader, and should be eliminated first, after the merge. Instead, Brad indirectly caused her elimination by referring to her as the leader in the previous challenge.
* Kristy and Francesca were two characters that I accidentally put in the first ten eliminated, after miscounting. Kristy made it further, mainly to avoid having the merge happen earlier, as I had originally planned for her to be the first one out after the merge happened.
* Kristy is attracted to really good looking guys, including Brad and Beau.
* Kristy refers to Stevie as her idol, because he inspired her to become a wrestler.
* Kristy's All-Star image was basically traced over her older image. That's why she mostly looks the same.
* Kristy and Sheena had no knowledge that the other was in the competition.
* Kristy and Sheena were to have been assumed to compete together, and while I wanted them to, I couldn't plausibly make that happen.
* Melinda and Kristy reminded me of each other in terms of their role in their stories. I made them friends based on that.
* I had considered Kristy being overly doting over Creigh, which eventually made him resent her. I decided not to go in that direction with her story to avoid making her feel slightly negative, viewing him as someone who could do nothing on his own. I considered her having a crush on him, but that was because I forgot she was in a relationship with Brad at the time.
* Kristy is highly attracted to good looking men. She particularly likes Beau and Brad, though she only observes and compliments Beau with no ulterior motives.
* I had considered eliminating Kristy before the merge, but I wanted the teams to be even this time. Also, she needed to make it to the embarrassment challenge to plausibly interact with Brad.
* Kristy is one of two contestants to achieve the same placement twice.
