Cody is a flirtatious, tech-savvy geek who sees himself as a ladies' man. He joined the show primarily to be with the "cool" kids — his own kind, or so he thinks. His self-named "manly charms" and "smooth moves" famously fail him around other contestants, as seen in episodes such as Not Quite Famous, in which he tries to imitate Trent's sitting style only to fall over. Cody's usual tactic for getting women involves using pick-up lines that sound irresistible to him but irritating to everyone else. Most of the girls he flirts with end up annoyed or amused. Cody likes to think that he is the "cool guy," but his biographies suggest that he is very intelligent. When he is not being perverted, he can be quite clever and crafty, as seen in episodes like Dodgebrawl, Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, and Hawaiian Punch.
Talks fast in bursts, peppering lines with tech slang; slightly self-amused when failing.
To Flirt with Girls: Cody genuinely believes he is a smooth-talking, irresistible Casanova. He joined the show thinking a televised island resort would be the perfect hunting ground to use his cringey pick-up lines and score a girlfriend.To Hang Out with the "Cool Kids": According to his official Season 1 biography, Cody is a spoiled tech-geek from the suburbs who uses his allowance to buy trendy clothes and gadgets just to appear cool. He explicitly auditioned because he wanted to break out of his tech-nerd bubble and prove he could "swing" with the popular crowd on TV.
