**Karol** was a contestant on and secondary antagonist of *Disventure Camp (Season 2)* as a member of the **Orange Team**. In "Open Your Eyes," she became the second contestant to be eliminated, originally placing 13th, but she returned to the game after capturing all the contestants in "Nightmare in Tipiskaw." She was then medically evacuated for a broken leg in "Sabotage Below Zero," placing 7th.

Karol is best remembered for her brash and spiteful attitude, as well as being the first contestant in *Disventure Camp* history to be eliminated and then return to the game, and the first to be eliminated solely for medical reasons.

## Appearance

Karol is an adult woman with dark skin and short brown hair with bangs, wrinkles on her face, and teal eyes. She wears a hot pink shirt, with a dark gray jacket over it, moss green pants, and long dark gray boots.

## Personality

Karol is a bossy and strong-willed woman, similar to Eva from *Total Drama*, but without resorting to violence. Even before arriving at the camp, Karol already hates everything around her and while she was in camp, she barely had any tolerance for things she does not like, even to the point of yelling at Kristal. She also doesn't get along with people due to her short temper, which annoys people or causes them to alienate her. She does, however, get along extremely well with animals, displaying a higher level of patience and consideration towards them. At certain points she can open up to some people to a certain degree, such as when she told Aiden that she doesn't get along well with people due to her "character". In the confessional, she acknowledged that she actually liked Aiden a little, although she saw him as a "goody-two-shoes", yet still felt genuinely hurt when he "betrayed" her. However, her sadness fades when an eagle flies down and perches upon her arm to cheer her up, showing that animals comfort her when she is sad.

Despite hating being on the show, Karol can be very competitive during challenges and does not like to lose. Such as when she performed well in the first challenge, mocking Ally when she crashed her bike, being the last member of her team awake in the second challenge, doing well in "Sabotage Below Zero" by forcing Oliver to do what she says and taming a wolf to help her in the challenge, and eventually getting mad that she had to be medically evacuated one episode after she returned.

## History

### Disventure Camp (Season 2)

#### Episode 1

Karol makes her debut next to Yul where she complains about the bus not having any air conditioning, prompting Yul to comment on her "having trouble with menopause", which angers Karol. After being the second last contestant to reach the camp, only seconds after Connor, she was placed on Team A (aka the Orange Team). When Kristal tells the contestants to proceed to their cabins, Karol retorts by complaining about the cabins being co-ed and asking where "privacy for a lady" has gone, prompting James to respond to her by telling her that it's 2023 and that she has to deal with it. After entering the cabins, Karol can be seen complaining about the bed sheets being filthy and untidy, asking when the last time was that they were washed, causing Oliver to respond by telling her that "They haven't".

Later on, during the first challenge, Karol was tasked with riding her team's bicycle while carrying their flag. After Aiden hands her the flag, Karol gets outpaced by Ally, but soon gains lead after Ally crashes her bike in a bush, with Karol mocking her and calling her a loser. Karol arrives at the next part of the relay and hands her team's flag over to Oliver. However, due to Oliver's breakdown caused by his PTSD induced hallucinations, Karol's lead was thrown out the window, causing the Orange Team to lose the first challenge of the season.

During elimination Karol got three votes and was in the bottom two alongside Oliver. But due to Oliver losing the challenge, he was the one eliminated. Karol questioned Kristal why she was in the bottom two during the elimination, causing James to answer and tell her that it might be due to her negative attitude, prompting Karol to yell at him and tell him to shut up, scaring Aiden and James as well as the rest of the team in the process.

#### Episode 2

Karol first appears in the episode next to Aiden. When Aiden comments on how the 'stay awake challenge theme' had already been done before and that the producers must be "running out of ideas", Karol shuts him down and states that no one cares and that her question was more important, asking Kristal what they're supposed to do with all their empty time, prompting Kristal to state that they can do whatever they want and that she doesn't care.

Once the challenge starts Karol is found by Aiden as she was busy providing medical attention to a crocodile. When Aiden asks her why she has a crocodile on her lap, Karol responds that she gets along better with animals than with people. Stating that they understand her better, and that people don't get along with her due to her "character". Aiden having gotten through to Karol, he asks her who she's voting for, causing Karol to say that she's voting for one of the girls due to them having an alliance, which caused Aiden to go and tell James.

Later in the challenge, Karol and Aiden are the last two awake for their team, causing Aiden to get tired and tell Karol that he can't stay awake much longer, causing Karol to encourage him and boost his morale by telling him that he can do it and that they can't afford to lose the challenge. This fails however, as Aiden eventually falls asleep alongside Hunter. Leaving Karol and Ally as the last two members awake for their team.

In the morning, Kristal makes Oliver give Karol and Ally glasses of orange juice to help refreshen them for staying awake for so long, showing hesitation at first, Karol decides to take a sip from the orange juice, prompting Kristal to reveal the strong sleeping pills that were slipped into the orange juice to cause Ally or Karol to fall asleep, because the challenge had gone on for too long. Karol calls Kristal out for having the audacity to drug them without their consent before passing out mere seconds before Ally, causing the Orange Team to lose once again.

Before elimination, James reveals to the whole team that Karol and Aiden were planning to vote for one of the girls, and that it was Karol's idea. Outraged at this, Karol rebukes Aiden and tells the girls that it was supposed to be private and only between them. At elimination Karol votes for Aiden and says that she betrayed him. During the vote reading, Karol's vote for Aiden shows up and Aiden shows remorse for telling James about the voting. James and Karol are in the bottom two and Karol ends up being the one eliminated. She shouts at Aiden before leaving and says that she hopes he's the one to go next.

Outside the camp, Karol leaves saddened over her elimination, but an eagle soars down and perches upon her arm, causing her to cheer up. During the bus ride, Karol refuses to thank the special supporters and threatens the cameraman to get out of her face.

#### Episode 8

In Episode 8, the challenge is left in the hands of Nina after Kristal has to leave to conduct some business outside the camp. Nina makes the challenge horror themed and warns the contestants of "The Night Butcher". Nina states that the contestants to "stay alive" until sunrise will win immunity. During the course of the challenge, multiple contestants get "murdered" by the Night Butcher. With the Night Butcher even playing games with the contestants like calling James on his cellphone and turning the lights off in the bathroom to scare Ally. After a heated chase with Lake, the Night Butcher finally manages to capture all the contestants.

Later that morning all the contestants wake up and find out that none of them were really killed and only sedated and sprayed with ketchup for fake blood. Nina reveals that because none of the contestants survived the challenge, the Night Butcher won. In a shocking reveal it turns out that the Night Butcher was **actually Karol all along**. All the contestants gasp and exclaim Karol's name, causing Karol to put up a friendly demeanor and greet everyone with a smile. When confronted about this by James, Karol states that she had been taking therapy and anger management classes for her bad temper, much to the pleasure of Aiden but also to the suspicion of James.

Nina reveals that Karol was offered to return to the game if she won the challenge, and now that she did, she has won immunity. But not just immunity for herself, two other people of her choosing as well. Nina whispers something to Karol and Karol decides to give immunity to Hunter and Ally so that the alliance of five between Aiden, James, Lake, Rosa and Riya will be forced to vote among themselves. In a confessional Karol reveals that she hasn't actually changed and that she is still enraged with Aiden and James for what they did to her and that she will get revenge.

During the elimination, Riya doesn't tell Rosa that Hunter and Ally are planning to vote Lake, causing Rosa not to play her immunity totem. This ends up being what causes Lake to get eliminated.

#### Episode 9

At the start of the episode the contestants find that it is snowing, which prompts Karol to complain and state that she didn't think the camp could get any more terrible. After Aiden leaves the cabin, Karol meets up with Riya and asks her how she is doing, which prompts Riya to ask Karol why she was eliminated. Karol states that it was Aiden and James, and that they manipulated everyone into voting her off. James overhears this from the bush he is hiding in and decides to record Karol saying she wants to vote Aiden and James off.

During the challenge, the contestants are tasked with building a sled to go snow sledding. While they are building, Aiden gets frightened by a spider and gets comforted by Karol. She takes the spider and gives it to Aiden to show that it isn't dangerous and that he should keep it to look after it. Karol's sled is finished being built, which is shown to be pink and is covered in barbed wire. When the contestants get to pick their partners to carry up the snowy slope, Karol chooses Riya and enlists the help of a wolf that she fed the previous day to help her carry the sled up the slope. During their walk up the slope, Karol tells Riya that they are alike in the sense that they are both outcasts and don't get along with most people. In the confessional Karol reveals that she knows Riya has been insecure during her time on the show and will exploit it to the best of her ability.

James tries to warn Aiden about Karol and says that she plans to get rid of them and that she isn't trustworthy. Aiden doesn't believe James until James plays the video of Karol saying she wants to vote them off. Causing Aiden to get mad and regret doubting James. Before the next challenge starts, Aiden goes and places the spider that Karol gave him unto Oliver's back while he isn't looking.

After finishing the first part of the challenge, Karol loses Riya as a partner and is forced to pair up with Oliver for the final part of the challenge. During the actual sledding part of the challenge, Karol meets up with Aiden and James and wishes Aiden good luck. Aiden sees through Karol's lies and decides to ram her sled with his, causing Karol to ask Aiden why he did that and forces Oliver to ram against them as well. As they continue down the slope, Karol pushes Oliver's head down to make them go faster, which causes the spider to crawl out of Oliver's shirt and onto his face, prompting Oliver to freak out and get distracted.

Due to this, their sled goes over a rock and causes them to go flying through the air and fall onto the ground in the snow. Oliver takes off his blindfold and is relieved that he landed on something soft, but it is revealed that he landed on Karol. Due to this, Karol's leg is broken, and she shouts that she requires medical attention. Oliver runs off to retrieve it and Karol hastily looks for the spider, only for it to be revealed that she crushed it and killed it when she landed. Outraged by this Karol shouts at Aiden and rebukes him for not taking care of the spider, to which Aiden responds that a stupid bug isn't more important than a person. Prompting Karol to say, "It's not a bug, it's an arachnid!" Which causes Aiden to leave.

After a Jumpcut, Karol is seen in a wheelchair with bandages wrapped around her leg and being tended to by Marcus and Nina. Karol exclaims that they don't have any medical knowledge, prompting Marcus to say that he was a medic in the Vietnam War. Nina tells Kristal that Karol is in no condition to continue competing in the contest and must be medically discharged. Karol tries to negotiate, stating that she can heal fast and that she still has many plans to fulfill. Kristal doesn't approve of this and issues Marcus to sedate Karol. He does this with Karol telling them that they need to get rid of Aiden and James right before she gets injected and passes out. Where is seen being wheeled off by Marcus and Nina.

#### Episode 12

Karol appears as Riya's supporter in the semi-finals. When James notices that he has no supporters, Karol tells him it's because everyone hates him and doesn't know what he expected. When Riya thanks her supporters, Karol tells her to beat Aiden and James for being cheaters.

#### Episode 13

During the final stretch between Riya and James, Kristal offers one of the two finalists' supporters to operate a golf ball cannon in order to hinder the opposing finalist. Karol gladly takes up the offer for Riya and begins to pelt James with golf balls, even managing to knock him off of his motorbike and give Riya the lead. However, due to Lake hitting Riya off of her bike with Aiden's help, James manages to cross the finish line and wins the season. Outraged, Karol asks why James and Aiden always keep getting away with it. And during the final scene with all the contestants and Kristal, Karol can be seen off to the left with an angry expression.
