Yancy

Yancy is a contestant on Total Drama Tropics.

## Biography

Yancy is an adopted child. His father wanted to get married and have a child, but never found the right woman. He decided not to give up at raising a child, however, and decided to adopt. Yancy always felt unwanted. His father didn't adopt him until he was fourteen. Yancy blamed himself for not being adopted in the ten years he was in foster care. After he was adopted, however, he quickly turned his focus to the female gender. None of the girls at his school seemed to notice him, so he began taking martial arts as a way to attract a girlfriend. He ended up giving a teacher a black eye when trying to show off his abilities. Rumors circulated that he was violent and abusive. He next tried acting tough to go along with the rumor, but that also failed as he only scared any possible girlfriends away even more. He also grew a soul patch, but this attempt also failed. Yancy's only friends are a group of socially awkward boys from different schools than him who also don't have girlfriends. He refused to take part in their nerdy hobbies and would always stand outside when they bought video games or comic books. He was spotted by a girl from his school while waiting outside of a comic shop. She mistook him for wanting to be there, told him that she thought geek's were extremely cute, and said that if she didn't already have a boyfriend she'd date him. From that moment on he turned to geek chic apparel. He doesn't actually even need glasses. This attempt has also failed, as of yet. Yancy's biggest fear is that he will become like his adoptive father. His father is concerned because Yancy only applies himself in trying to find a girlfriend, and not in schoolwork or athletics.

Yancy decided to join the Total Drama series solely to find a girlfriend. He studied the ratio of contestants finding girlfriends on the Total Drama series and thought signing up was worth the risk.
