Lauren, also known by her nickname, the Scary Girl, is a villainess from the 2023 reboot of Total Drama. She is voiced by Kate Griffin.
Scary Girl was inducted into the Total Drama cast after submitting her audition tape in which she says she wants to make new friends and watch them get hurt, and then blows up a big top and a shoe lands next to her, implying someone was inside when she blew it up. Once on the show, her creepy mannerisms quickly disturb her castmates, but she proves to be very athletic and can easily beat up a bear that growls at her. Despite her usefulness in challenges, her teammates vote to eliminate her when she costs her team the fourth challenge due to her spending the day trying to murder Damien with a jackhammer, and giving her team's skull a makeover to look like her instead of taking it to the finish line. She votes for Ripper and attempts to persuade Priya, who also hates Ripper for previously using her as a human shield, and Priya's friend Millie to vote for Ripper to save her from being voted off the island, but Millie votes for Scary Girl anyway due to her fear of Scary Girl's psychotic behavior. When it is revealed that Scary Girl was eliminated, she transforms into a demonic demeanor and swears vengeance on her teammates before leaving. Lauren is seen in the finale, and is disappointed when the season ends with no gruesome deaths.
Lauren returns for the next season, and is revealed to have been stalking her former castmates to "learn how to be normal," but her attempts are so creepy, that she is voted off even sooner this season; the first elimination. She threatens her castmates before once again leaving the island.
