Scarlett was a contestant and one of two main antagonists of Total Drama: Pahkitew Island as a member of the Pimâpotew Kinosewak.
Personality
Scarlett is a highly intelligent individual, with a quiet, yet enigmatic behavior. When she does speak, she tends to transcend into being very talkative. Her extensive and advanced vocabulary has a habit of confusing her teammates, and she is usually required to simplify her suggestions, much to her chagrin. Although she has an initially polite exterior, Scarlett's true nature is actually evil (even to her own family), psychopathic, misanthropic, savage, unsympathetic, vain, sadistic, and quite wicked, so much so that she has gone as far as threatening to kill and torture the other contestants and destroy the island for the million dollars, even launching tree missiles to the hosts to prove she is not joking. She has been shown to be very crafty and can easily manipulate other people with her superior brain power. This is best displayed through her relationship with Max, whom she uses to carry out various "evil" deeds (most of which she suggests) in order to cover her true nature while Max takes the blame. Scarlett is very annoyed by Max's ways and despises him referring to her as his "sidekick," showing that she is against being second place to anyone.
Total Drama: Pahkitew Island
Scarlett is introduced in So, Uh, This Is My Team? as one of the new contestants and is placed on the Pimâpotew Kinosewak. She is considered one of the smartest contestants of this season, frequently coming up with ideas and plans for challenges. For most of the season, she finds herself partnered with Max, whose "evil" deeds intrigue her. During their partnership, Scarlett often helps Max out with his inventions, as well as advising him on how to be a proper villain. Unfortunately for her, she also has to put up with his dullness. Max shows little respect for Scarlett, and views her as his inferior minion, but nonetheless finds use for her over time. After helping him during the challenge in A Blast from the Past, Max openly acknowledges that Scarlett has proven herself "un-useless" and allows her to become his sidekick; though Scarlett does not take this news well.
Scarlett fixes Max's helmet contraption.
Annoyed at Max for his treatment towards her, Scarlett formulates a plan to get him eliminated in Mo Monkey Mo Problems. Scarlett observes how Max is humiliated by Jasmine after he insults her, and persuades Max into earning Jasmine's respect by tricking him into setting up a trap to snare his own team. Scarlett's hope is that Max will be deemed responsible for their team's loss, and will be voted off that night. The plan almost backfires when the entire team is caught in the trap, including Max; luckily for Scarlett, he foolishly reveals that he was responsible for setting it up, putting a target on him. Although Max receives the most votes that night, he is saved after Ella is caught disobeying Chris's warning from the previous episode for singing, and she is eliminated instead.
Scarlett becomes frustrated when Max calls her "sidekick."
Max continues to be an annoyance to Scarlett in This Is the Pits!, who confesses that she wants him gone as soon as possible. When the two of them are separated from their team, Scarlett tries to get rid of Max so her team will lose and he will be voted off. While traversing in the cave, she realizes that its structure is odd due to the presence of stalactites without any mineral deposits on the floor. Very soon, they are attacked by a crocodile sent by Chris, which they discover is a robot after a stalactite falls on it. Scarlett uses components from the broken robot to construct a universal remote and with it, she discovers a hidden elevator. Just as they are about to take the elevator and leave, Max snatches the remote and throws it out the door, declaring it useless. In the confessional, Scarlett confesses her hatred for Max and how her patience is at an end. That night, Max is transferred to the opposing team, as Chris wanted to keep him and Scarlett separate, with Sky taking his place.
With Max's absence, Scarlett finds she can finally relax in Three Zones and a Baby, though another team member begins to annoy, in the form of Topher. It isn't long before Scarlett loses her patience and intimidates Topher, showing that she is more than just an intelligent pretty face. Nevertheless, Topher costs them the challenge and the team vote him off.
Max and Scarlett are separated in This Is the Pits!.
The teams are merged in Hurl and Go Seek and Scarlett finds herself having trouble during the pre-challenge, as she admits that eating challenges are "not her thing." When the actual challenge begins, Scarlett teams up with Max again, who keeps annoying her with his stomach ache. Scarlett reveals in the confessional that while she can abandon Max anytime she wants, she will stay with him in order to use Max as bait, should Sugar find them. At one point, she discovers a hidden panel behind a tree, and realizes that the entire island is artificial, and that there is a main computer controlling everything on it. She tries to hack the control panel, but she begins to suffer from food poisoning from the Juggy Chunk that they drank during the pre-challenge. To make matters worse, Max vomits on the hidden panel, causing everything on the island to go berserk. With no other reason to stay, Scarlett drags herself and Max away, only for them to trip over Sugar, who had already captured Sky and Dave.
Scarlett reveals her villainous side in Scarlett Fever.
Chris finally reveals the truth about the island in Scarlett Fever, sending everyone to the control center to disable the self-destruct sequence. After acquiring a map from Chris, Scarlett and Max find a hidden entrance that leads directly in front of the control room. Once Max short circuits the control panel, Scarlett enters the control room and proclaims that the island is now under her control. With the power she now wields, Scarlett removes her glasses and lets her hair down, appearing much more sinister. She reveals that the Scarlett everyone knows is just a façade and that she is actually an evil genius that had been waiting for the opportunity to strike the entire season. After sending Scuba Bear to rid herself of Max, Scarlett contacts Chris and blackmails him into giving her the million dollars, or she will let the island explode with everyone on it.
Chris, at first is not afraid of her threat until she gives him "a demonstration of the power she now has", and launches several "tree missiles" at his helicopter. Nevertheless, he still refuses to give up the money, believing that the other contestants will foil her. Scarlett had been prepared for this, and lures them to a room filled with Chris' Promo-Bots to dispose of them. Shawn however, manages to destroy every single robot in the room, including Scuba Bear. The contestants are able to lure Scarlett into opening the door to the control room using one of the heads of the Promo-Bots. Sugar immediately tackles Scarlett once she opens the door and hogties her with her own hair. After the island is safe, Chris disqualifies Scarlett and declares her the "most eliminated contestant in the series" while pelting her with marshmallows. Before she is launched away, she is accompanied by Max in the cannon after Chris disqualifies him as well. Scarlett begs Chris not to send her away with Max, but Chris activates the cannon anyway, firing the duo far away from the island, claiming that he is "done with evil".

In her audition tape, Scarlett talks about the meaning of her name and why she wants to win Total Drama.
Scarlett is sitting in what appears to be a laboratory, full of test-tubes, flasks, and Bunsen burners, as well as a globe that has been stabbed by knives. She explains that her parents named her "Scarlett", a name derived from an English surname with an occupational meaning: someone who sells cloth. However, she states that she has higher expectations for her career, and that if she won the million dollars it would ensure that she could attend a university of her choice, aware of her massive potential. She also states her belief that Total Drama's popularity is responsible for today's troubled youth. She thanks the selection committee for their time before ending the video.
