Sandi

Sandi is a contestant on Total Drama Time Travel labeled **The Wannabe Superstar**.

## Biography

Sandi is the youngest of three children. Sandi is very bubbly and rather spontaneous. Sandi loves to sing and dance, and doesn't exactly take her schoolwork too seriously. Her dream is to become a famous singer, and bring her unique singing voice to the masses. She has auditioned a few times for talent agencies, but is usually told she's too different. She loves watching music videos and imagining what hers would be like if she ever got a recording career. Besides dreaming of becoming a superstar, Sandi just likes to have fun. She likes going to arcades and movies, and also playing with the neighborhood kids. Sandi's mother is supportive of her, but also wants her to study more so she has something to fall back on in case her dream doesn't work out.

## Total Drama Time Travel

When Sandi arrived, in Welcome to the Present, she was surprised that Chris was being honest about time travel. She then commented that Therese was fancy. Therese was flattered, but Sandi immediately called Bianka fancy, as well. Sandi wondered if they were on a movie set, and Bianka assured her that they weren't. When seeing Alexander the Generally Awesome, Sandi recognized him as the cute guy in her history books. She apologized to him that he died at twenty-two, a fact he did not know about. When she went to say some more about it, Chris hurried and covered her mouth with his hands. When Mark arrived, he recognized Sandi as a famous singer, surprising her.

Sandi told Roxie that she would have stood up for Quog when Therese called him a neanderthal if it didn't apply, in Central Theme Park. Sandi felt that the challenge, traumatizing a boy that hurt Chris' feelings, was selfish and cruel. Sandi was paired with Xiomara for the challenge. They were mistaken for clowns. In an attempt to attract the boy to them, Xiomara gave Sandi a copy of one of her future hit songs. Sandi sang the song, and attracted a large crowd, just not the boy they were looking for. When Crimson Rose asked where the horse that Millie was riding on came from, in Total Drama Time Travel and the Quest for the Holy Grail, Sandi nervously began to explain that the daddy horsie and mommy horsie loved each other very much.

When Chris asked if anyone knew who Elspeth Krostie was, in And Then There Were Eighteen, Sandi rose her hand. Chris was glad that she knew, but she revealed that she was only stretching. When Chris failed to return, Sandi became worried about him. She and Elspeth went to look for him. They found a replica of his body on the floor, thinking it was actually him. Sandi was then grabbed from behind a trick bookcase, and she was pulled behind the secret passage. The secretary recognized Sandi, in Hair Today, Gone Last Week, and noted that she didn't age. She asked her for some beauty tips. When Sandi was declared safe, she hugged El Serpiente. He glared at her until she let go of him.

Inga told Lady Perlative that she would forgive her if she didn't lie about her gender, again, in So You Think You Can Hop? Sandi asked how she could do that, again, and Inga threw her across the room. For the dance marathon challenge, Sandi stopped dancing in order to ask Chris a challenge. She was eliminated from the challenge for stopping. Sandi asked Julietta how she was feeling. Sandi looked on as Julietta and Therese argued. Inga acted like she was going to punch Sandi, when she mentioned her bunions. Sandi called Mark her hero, in We Interrupt This Challenge to Bring You Something Completely Different, when he said that he slept until noon on a regular basis.

When Chris recapped the previous episode, in When Did They Go?, Sandi was worried, as they were all in front of him, and saw the entire situation. Florence explained to Sandi what 'be on your toes' meant. Sandi felt bad about what happened with Mark and Julietta, in Prom and Circumstance. Crimson Rose also felt down, and Sandi guessed that it was because of Leopold, though she said she was joking after Crimson Rose admitted that was why she was sad. Sandi tried to comfort her by telling her that she would be able to move on when she returned to her regular life. Sandi jumped up when loud noises were heard from El Serpiente's room. She asked Chris why he was orange, and he claimed to be tan. Sandi was worried when her picture was on a poster in young Chris' room. Sandi cried after Chris disappeared from existence. After Mark fixed the time machine, Sandi kissed Ira, embarrassing him. Sandi excitedly hugged Chris when Daisuke returned with him. Sandi hugged Crimson Rose goodbye, and tried to comfort her.

In Portrait of an Artist as a Young Slob, Sandi unconvincingly tried to tell Jon Pierre that he was still good looking. Sandi left with Ira and Quog went to find something to eat, feeling that helping Jon Pierre was hopeless. Sandi volunteered to serve as a character witness against Chris when he was arrested, in Stolen Goodies. Sandi was able to attract five young cave men, in Animal Distraction.

Sandi went on a cleaning frenzy, in Streak Out. She told Inga to stand as she swept under her bed. She then let go of the bed, and it landed on Inga's foot. Florence and Lady Perlative kept Inga from attacking Sandi, who was not paying attention very well. Sandi mistakenly thought that she won the challenge, though Chris corrected her and said that Daisuke won the challenge. Before the elimination, Sandi said they'd vote for whoever, as no one did anything to bad. Sandi was the one eliminated. Sandi was eliminated. She said goodbye to Florence and Lady Perlative. She then said that she was glad that she met a good friend like Inga, which greatly confused Inga. Sandi was sent home, where she began writing music.
