Zaina, labeled as the Flower Girl, was a contestant on Total Drama Frozen, and later returns for Total Drama Tides.

Background

Zaina’s mother would often sing her a lullaby when she was little, of a young baby wrapped in a blanket woven from the most beautiful of flowers, tucked delicately into a ribbon basket. She would sing about how the basket washed up on the shore of the beach. Despite this, the baby wasn’t crying, instead she was giggling. Her mother often told her that the baby was her, but Zaina would laugh it off. Despite this however, Zaina grew up loving and caring for flowers. Her bedroom quickly turned into a greenhouse, with all sort of flora growing. Her friends became flowers, as no one else would speak to her- not that she minded. The flowers were nice, unlike the rest of the world. She would never be alone as long as the grass was green, and her flowers were in bloom. Someone from school thought it would be a funny prank to sign Zaina up for the show, and once she was accepted she had a minor panic attack, realizing Total Drama Frozen implied there would be no flowers, but remembering the lullaby from when she was little, Zaina toughed up, and joined the cast for Total Drama Frozen.
