Ari

Ari is labeled as The Awkward Sweetheart in Total Drama Tokyo.

Biography
Ari's parents are divorced, and they have been since she was six. Ari is used to going back and forth between her mom and dad's houses. She has three sisters, who are all extremely short and grumpy, especially the oldest one, who is older than her, but Ari has always been pretty tall and cheerful. She also has a stepbrother, who is younger than her. The two don't get along well, and have somewhat of a dynamic. Ari has also always been a little awkward and different than everybody else. She is oblivious to most things said about her, and laughs at just about everything. Her main responses to people are yes, a giggle, or repeating what the person said and then giggling. At her school, despite being pretty cute, Ari is viewed as "that awkward chick." She can control her awkwardness, she just stays quiet most of the time, but sometimes she says the wrong thing at the wrong time. People think she's a creep when she does that, but she just wants friends. People also think she's a stalker, because she follows people around without saying anything, but she just wants to make conversation. Once you get to know Ari, she's a really nice person, but almost nobody at her school knows this because they don't bother talking to her. At Ari's summer camp, she is viewed differently, and a lot of magical dudes have a crush on her, but she's too oblivious to have a boyfriend. She has good friends there, though, because that camp mostly has awkward people.

Ari joined Total Drama at the request of her older sister, who did extremely well in the season she competed in.
