Alejandro

**Alejandro**, labeled **The Diplomat**, was a contestant on Total Drama Island as a member of the Killer Bass.

## Personality

On the surface, Alejandro appears to be a polite, dashing, charming gentleman, but underneath he is dark and twisted. He is known to use his charm and exceptional persuasion to advance him further in the game. Alejandro was born in Spain before moving to Latin America, and is very proud of his Hispanic heritage. He will frequently speak in his native language on the show, especially when he is frustrated. An extremely well-developed talent of his is smooth talking himself in or out of a situation. He names his best quality his ability to "smell a person's weakness and exploit it in seconds".

## Total Drama Island

Alejandro is the last to arrive in Not So Happy Campers, but makes a stunning first impression on the rest of the cast with his handsome looks. He is placed on the Killer Bass; and while the females take a quick liking to him, Lightning immediately feels threatened by his charms. Because of this, Lighting bars Alejandro from competition in the challenge, frustrating Alejandro.

This frustration continues throughout the season, as both Alejandro and Noah struggle to deal with Lightning and his boastfulness. In Spite Club, Alejandro competes against Courtney and Leonard; however, his chivalry makes him ignore Courtney completely and he only targets the latter. Unfortunately the two end up equally matched, and they inadvertently knock each other into the lake. Alejandro's chivalry is shown again when he chooses to let the girls perform their talents in the talent show; however, he still encounters protest from Lightning, who believes the boys show perform due to their lack of participation. The team defends Alejandro, and he takes pride the confidence that he will be rid of the jock in the near future.

As a part of his strategy, Alejandro admits to the audience many times that he is merely manipulating his female teammates, seeing them as only pawns. However, the same isn't said for Leshawna, who he seems to gain a true camaraderie for in Paintball Deer Hunter. During the hunting challenge, Alejandro and Leshawna are paired up as their team's hunters. They travel the woods together, and quickly find the Screaming Gophers' deer. However, they are encountered by Courtney, who attempts to protect her teammates, and Leshawna gets knocked out in the process. Alejandro sees this and takes her to safety so she may recover. While recuperating, the two seem to bond; but they are interrupted by Courtney once again, who angrily chases them through the forest for revenge. The chases ends with a clearing encounter with the Rabid Beavers, and "Latin" standoff occurs with the hunters. Alejandro is shot in the fight, but luckily, Leshawna's wins them the challenge, and Alejandro congratulates Leshawna on her skills.

After the team dissolve puts Geoff on the Bass, Alejandro begins to notice romantic tension within the team. Geoff's immediate infatuation with Bridgette gives Alejandro an opportunity to manipulate his team even further. However, he also notices Bridgette's struggle with choosing between liking Geoff or Noah. Assessing the situation, Alejandro decides to help Geoff with his romantic endeavors in Cabin Fever. Later on that night, Alejandro finally eliminates his rival, Lightning, and shifts his focus onto a new enemy. He also seems to take a particular interest in Noah during the dodgeball game and attempts to get closer with him by flirting with him the same way he does the female campers.

With several plans in motion, Alejandro makes his first big move in To Trust or Not To Trust. After the team takes another shocking loss, Alejandro suddenly turns on Leshawna and starts spreading rumors about her to the team. He makes her seem untrustworthy and two-faced, and because of this, the entire team blindsides in a unanimous vote. Despite their closeness, Alejandro has no regrets, and continues his tactics into the merge. In No Pain, No Gain, Alejandro tries his best to welcome the Gopher boys into their cabin, but struggles to keep his composure. For his torture challenges, Alejandro has to hug a giant animal both times. He falls short of winning immunity, but is undeterred and survives the night easily.

Alejandro's focus on the game begins to falter, however, in Trigger Happy Havoc; as he sees Noah getting closer with Bridgette. While he tries to focus on the investigation, he is hesitant to leave Bridgette and Noah alone, and is unable to piece together the evidence correctly. Despite this, he and Noah work together and convince the others to successfully eliminate Courtney. With her gone, Alejandro now attempts to target Izzy, who's new alliance poses as a threat. Unfortunately, he is eliminated early in the challenge, and desperately goes around camp to discuss eliminating Geoff before the ceremony in order to stay safe. That night however, Izzy's alliance masterminds against Alejandro, and eliminate him in an epic blindside. Alejandro is dumbfounded, but accepts his defeat; however, as he walks down the dock, Noah walks up to bid him fair well. The two share a short, romantic kiss and Alejandro boards the Boat of Losers; failing to contain his inner rage as the boat takes off.

In the finale, Alejandro seems to be enjoying life at Playa Des Losers. He spends most of the time trying to console Noah, who is still bitter about his own elimination the night before. He himself seems to still be steamed at his elimination during his interview, but he does not let it get to him. He roots for both finalists as they compete in the final challenge, and is content when Ennui wins. As the night ends, Alejandro stays by Noah's side and kisses him as they watch Chris' comeuppance, cementing their relationship.
