| 9 | !!In General |
| 10 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/victorious_main_3.jpg]] |
| 11 | * BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Cat is the Beauty, Tori is the Brains, and Jade is the Brawn. |
| 12 | ** Also for the guys: Beck is the Beauty, Robbie is the Brains, and Andre is the Brawn. |
| 13 | * TheBeautifulElite: A particularly astounding example of this. Nearly all of the main cast is great-looking, their characters seem to have an infinite amount of money and accessories (depending on what the plot needs) and are apparently just great at everything they do. Given brilliant {{Lampshading}} by Sinjin in ''The Slap Fight''. |
| 14 | * EveryoneHasASpecialMove: Despite them taking a variety of subjects at Hollywood Arts and everybody can seem like TheAce at everything, there's one special skill that seems to be their focus and what drives a lot of their storylines: with Tori it's singing, Beck - acting, Jade - writing & directing, Andre - song writing and composing, Robbie seems like the most tech-adept of the group but he's obviously a world-class (unless you buy into the haunted-doll theory) ventriloquist, and Cat seems like the most genuine JackOfAllTrades performer- especially noted during her re-audition when she flawlessly performs a one-girl play scene, sings a show-tune and juggles in just 90 seconds. And if Trina realized that it was Martial Arts and her genuine physical ability rather than [[HollywoodToneDeaf singing and dancing]] that was her special talent, she could find performing arts success through stunt work. |
| 15 | * FourGirlEnsemble: Tori is the admirable narrator who holds the group together. Trina is the girly, glamour-obsessed one (though ironically she's considered the ''least'' pretty of the girls in-universe). Cat is the sweet, childlike, and naive one. Jade is the snarky bad girl of the group. |
| 16 | * FourPhilosophyEnsemble: Tori is TheIdealist mixed with The Realist, Jade is TheCynic, Cat is TheIdealist, and Trina is The Apathetic. |
| 17 | * FreeRangeChildren: Despite being teenagers they seem to have no curfews or much home responibilities at all, as they seem free to do any activity, anywhere, at any time of night. |
| 18 | * TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: With a fairly large ensemble it's not surprising some relationships seem closer than others, as Tori and surprisingly Robbie is the only one to have significant plotlines with everybody. Cat rarely has any storylines with Andre or Beck that don't involve another intermediary, Andre rarely has interactions with Cat or supposed best-friend Beck, Jade doesn't really hang out with anybody besides Cat or Beck despite in group tag-alongs, and Beck rarely has storylines outside Jade or Tori (despite one very memorable episode with Robbie). We stop getting storylines centered around Tori and Trina halfway through season 2 (after which point there has only been 4 total), which is especially strange because they're sisters. Jade and Tori's relationship, while a dominant focus throughout the series, rarely has episodes where they actually hang out alone... though some have noted there's a considerably more open and less hostile dynamic between them when they're away from the outside social world. |
| 19 | * LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Jade in contrast with the other girls, wears mainly black outfits fitting with her edgy and gothic nature while Tori,Cat and Trina who are more light-hearted, wear outfits with more vivacious colors. |
| 20 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Except for TokenEvilTeammate Jade and SpoiledBrat Trina, who frequently have the most antagonistic and KickTheDog moments throughout the show, each character has shown they have their more selfish and {{Jerkass}} tendencies that crop up now and again. |
| 21 | * NiceMeanAndInbetween: The main female group has: Cat the sweet {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, Jade the rebellious AlphaBitch, and Tori the in-between and well-meaning leader. |
| 22 | * RagtagBunchOfMisfits: They're all quirky and eccentric, and they're the main seven. |
| 23 | * RuleOfSymbolism: |
| 24 | ** As required of all students at Hollywood Arts, all seven of them have customized lockers. Tori's is a night sky with LED text of "Make it Shine" to refer to the night and the song that changed her life, Robbie's is a mosaic of baby bottle nipples to remind him of happier times, Andre's is a keyboard he has to play to open because he loves music, Beck's is transparent because he has no secrets, and Jade's is a collage of scissors about because of her obsession with scissors. |
| 25 | ** Cat and Trina are the only ones who are never seen with their lockers on the show, but there is a picture of each online. Cat's has a ladybug crawling out of tall grass and Trina's is a pattern of spoons. |
| 26 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Personality wise, Jade (Tomboy) and Cat (Girly-Girl) definitely fit. Tori is more in-between. |
| 27 | * TownGirls: Dark, sarcastic and rude Jade is the Butch, sweet, naïve and innocent Cat is the Femme, and the creative, responsible, and friendly Tori is the Neither. |
| 28 | * TrueCompanions: While some relationships skew towards the dysfunctional and many have their own neurotic, occasionally self-destructive sides, they do always seem to be there for each other in the end. |

| 31 | [[folder:Victoria "Tori" Vega]] |
| 32 | !!Victoria "Tori" Vega |
| 33 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/victorious_girls_cast_shoot_16.jpg]] |
| 34 | [[caption-width-right:350:'' "When I make it Shine!" '']] |
| 35 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Music/VictoriaJustice |
| 36 | |
| 37 | -->''"I am a police officer... And I Am Victorious!"'' |
| 38 | |
| 39 | The main character, Tori joins Hollywood Arts after filling in for her sister Trina during a performance. Tori quickly makes friends and enemies alike while attending the school. Tori's main talent is singing, but she can also act. Her best friends are André Harris and Cat Valentine. Whereas, her rival is Jade West. |
| 40 | ----- |
| 41 | * AlliterativeName: One of her posts on [=TheSlap=].com states that if she had been a boy her parents would have named her Victor, so her nickname would have been Tor. This implies that her full name is Victoria Vega, and therefore fits this trope. |
| 42 | * AlmostKiss: |
| 43 | ** [[spoiler:A one-sided one with Andre in ''Jade Gets Crushed''.]] |
| 44 | ** Another one with [[spoiler:Beck]] in "Tori Goes Platinum", but she refuses [[spoiler:out of respect for Jade's feelings.]] |
| 45 | * AmbiguouslyBi: Pretty much pushed this as far as you could go for a Kidcom. Has a few one-episode boyfriends and the occasional ShipTease with Beck, but also has a bunch of moments with Cat and a ton more with Jade and another moment with her blushing while Ke$ha admires her cheekbones, as well as frequently calling other women "hot" and never bothering to swap out female pronouns when performing love songs, and also tends to have a more androgynous sense of style and personality. She also has a big sexy magazine cut-out of Music/KatyPerry plastered on the inside of her locker, along with the text "I Kissed a Girl"... It helps that her previous characters in the Schneiderverse fell under the ambiguously queer umbrella. |
| 46 | * AndThatsTerrible: In "A Film by Dale Squires", when Tori lists off the contributions her friends made to their film and then asks what Dale did, he simply says that he took the credit. Tori's only response is "... Well, that's mean!" |
| 47 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: With Trina, the most significant moment being the end of "Helen Back Again". |
| 48 | * BefriendingTheEnemy: Tori repeatedly tries to befriend Jade, despite how the later constantly torments her. In one episode, Jade is [[ExploitedTrope even able]] to get Tori to help her out by suggesting she would consider her a friend. When asked why she does this, Tori explained that she would rather be Jade's friend than constantly fighting her. While Jade refuses to call Tori a friend, she definitely has gotten closer to her than she was at the start of the series. |
| 49 | * BerserkButton: She's usually among the more level-headed characters, but calling her a "grunch" will set her off. |
| 50 | * BettyAndVeronica: While she has traits commonly assumed of a 'Betty' character, her general freshness and what-if factor makes her the Veronica to both Beck and Jade. |
| 51 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Go too far towards her or one of her friends and she will make you pay. A lot of one shot villains have found this out the hard way. |
| 52 | ** The fact that she was about to taze a security guard in "Stage Fighting" who was prepared, yet reluctant, to pull a stun gun on her. The scary part? She was going to use his own taser on him if he pulled it from his holster and warns him she will take it away from him for this purpose if he does. Keep in mind they'd already seen Tori attack someone without hesitation because she thought a stage fight was real and leaped in instantly to defend Beck from his "attacker". It took two guys to stop her beating up Beck's friend. |
| 53 | ** Just being called a grunch by one of the girls in Beck's car in "Driving Tori Crazy", provoked her enough to ''attack'' her. |
| 54 | ** She pushes Trina's head underwater when she's washing her hair when she's forced to be her assistant for a month. |
| 55 | * BigLittleSister: She's a year younger than Trina and yet, she's noticeably taller than her. |
| 56 | * BilingualBonus: When Sikowitz is speaking Guatamalan to the class, Tori translates his WordSalad speech into English. |
| 57 | ** More notibly so when she sings the Spanish cover of "Forever Baby" in "The Wood". |
| 58 | * BorrowedCatchphrase: In "The Gorilla Club", Trina tends to respond with sarcastic references to her butt (see LameComeback in Trina's profile). In the second half of the episode, we get this exchange: |
| 59 | -->'''Tori:''' I am a '''risk taker'''!\ |
| 60 | '''Jade:''' Don't tell ''me'', tell the ''gorilla''!\ |
| 61 | '''Tori:''' Why don't you tell my ''butt''!?\ |
| 62 | '''Trina:''' ''[from upstairs]'' That's ''my'' thing! |
| 63 | * BrainyBrunette: She gets good grades and has brown hair. |
| 64 | * BreakThemByTalking: In the pilot episode, Jade pours coffee on her head on her first day at Hollywood Arts. On her second day, she tells Jade about herself in front of their entire class during alphabet improv, pushing all of her buttons, watching her slowly lose her cool until she finally breaks the alphabet cycle and loses. Tori tops it off by kissing Beck in the end. |
| 65 | * ButtMonkey: She's unlucky in many situations, sometimes to NoRespectGuy levels, and Jade insults her all the time. |
| 66 | * CassandraTruth: No one has believed her about Ponnie's existence. |
| 67 | * CatchPhrase: "I DON'T TALK LIKE THAT!" Said whenever someone (usually Jade) mocks something she said while affecting a SouthernBelle [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents accent.]] [[DontExplainTheJoke You know, to make Tori sound stupid.]] |
| 68 | * CatFight: With Jade ''twice'' in ''The Wood''. Also with those four girls in Beck's car in ''Driving Tori Crazy''. |
| 69 | * CelibateHeroine: Downplayed. She's not above dating, but she's not as boy-crazy as the average teen girl protagonist. Not only do we rarely catch her instigating pursuit of romance, but you can actually count all the people we see her actively showing interest in on one hand. |
| 70 | * CharacterTics: When she's done performing, she puts her arm up in the air and sometimes ruffles her hair |
| 71 | * ClassPrincess: An attractive, mature, and kind-hearted girl who wins the lead roles in most school plays at Hollywood Arts and usually gets more attention than everyone else (despite being a NaiveNewcomer), but still remains humble. However, it's downplayed compared to other female leads of Creator/DanSchneider shows, since Tori also gets her share of bad luck and ButtMonkey moments, unlike [[Series/Zoey101 Zoey]] and [[Series/ICarly Carly]], such as being bullied by the AlphaBitch. |
| 72 | * CloudCuckooLandersMinder: She sometimes finds herself keeping Trina on a leash. |
| 73 | * ColorMotif: She seems to be associated with purple, which is associated with imagination, inspiration, wisdom, sensitivity, and compassion. |
| 74 | * CovertPervert: To Jade's boobs, practically every other episode, but has a habit of making somewhat inappropriately suggestive gestures to everybody. |
| 75 | * CoyGirlishFlirtPose: Tends to use this when flirting with guys. This is {{lampshaded}} by Jade in ''Beck Falls For Tori.'' |
| 76 | * DanceBattler: Defeats the Gorilla by doing the ''Hammer Dance'' before kicking it off the crate. |
| 77 | * DeadpanSnarker: While nowhere near the level of Jade, she often dips into this. |
| 78 | * DeathGlare: Gives quite a few of these in "Robarazzi". Robbie gets a pretty spooky one after he exploits her lotioned armpits. Jade would be proud. |
| 79 | * {{Determinator}}: She's not too fond of giving up, even when things look bleak, such as managing to keep everyone going in "Trapped in an RV". Not even winding up stranded in the desert in "Driving Tori Crazy" was enough to stop her from getting back to civilization in one piece. |
| 80 | * DreadfulMusician: Do ''not'' let Tori put her hands on a musical instrument. Subverted in ''Tori Goes Platinum'', as she plays a piano quite well. |
| 81 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Tori seems to get and actually enjoy this implied directly from Ke$ha in ''Ice Cream for Kesha'' when the latter remarks about her cheekbones (and other female characters are shown fawning over that same facial feature). More YMMV with Cat and Jade. |
| 82 | * EvilCostumeSwitch: In "Jade Gets Crushed", Tori dresses up like Jade to help Andre get over his crush on her (Jade). On the Slap, Jade says that Tori looks "semi-decent". |
| 83 | * FascinatingEyebrow: Tori in particular is quite fond of it. |
| 84 | * {{Foil}}: To Jade, as you can no doubt tell by their senses of fashion. They're both hardworking, ambitious, and prone to acts of jealousy, snide wit, and selfishness. However, while Tori is kind, compassionate, optimistic, and has a (arguably) good relationship with her parents, Jade is mean, rude, consistently assumes the worst, and has pretty much been taking care of herself since her parents divorced. |
| 85 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Responsible to Trina's Foolish. |
| 86 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Phlegmatic. |
| 87 | * GenkiGirl: Not to the same extreme as Cat, but still qualifies. Courtesy of Victoria Justice. |
| 88 | * GreenEyedMonster: Developed a ''bad'' case of this in "Cat's New Boyfriend". She thought she could handle Cat dating her ex, but she was very wrong. |
| 89 | * HeroesLoveDogs: in "Jade dumps Beck" and "Star Spangled Tori" (the second one took a while to warm up to her though). |
| 90 | * HeroicRROD: She donated 3 pints of blood for Robbie in "Tori Gets Stuck", leaving her in no condition to participate in "Steamboat Suzy". |
| 91 | * HeroicResolve: The pilot episode has her get coffee dunked on her head on her first day at Hollywood Arts. After being given a pep talk by Andre and Trina, she comes back the next day and tells Jade off before kissing her boyfriend in front of the entire class. |
| 92 | * HiccupHijinks: She gets the hiccups every time she "talks urban". |
| 93 | * HypocriticalHumor: In ''Andre's Horrible Girl,'' she tried to convince Andre not to date a girl just so he could sing for her dad, a famous music producer. At least, until he said she could sing with him. |
| 94 | * IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship: Not returning [[spoiler:Beck's kiss in ''Tori Goes Platinum'']] has shades of this, more so knowing it would crush [[FriendlyEnemies Jade]] and likely cause a fissure inside their friend group, which Tori clearly values above all else. |
| 95 | * IJustWantToBeBadass: In "The Gorilla Club" Tori wants the part of a troubled girl in a movie but is told she is too nice for the role. Tori spends the rest of the episode trying to toughen up by engaging in risky behaviors, being goaded by Jade along the way. Which eventually culminates with her fighting a gorilla in the titular club. |
| 96 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: She felt this way in the first episode and a few afterwards, but eventually learns to accept the weirdness that abounds in Hollywood Arts. |
| 97 | * TheIdealist: Contrast to [[TheCynic Jade]]. Warm, bright, kind, and welcoming to nearly everyone, constantly looking on the bright side and seeing the best in people, even when they don’t deserve it. |
| 98 | * IdiotBall: Tori thinking it was a good idea to trust Trina and Cat to get her solvent by the time the play started. This is hinted in one of her status updates on The Slap: "Never send Trina and Cat to do ANYTHING!!!" |
| 99 | * InformedAttractiveness: While she's undoubtedly attractive (just ''look'' at her picture), she gets what may be the crowning example of this trope in the ''Series/{{iCarly}}'' crossover, when Freddie says that she's "way hotter" than Shelby Marx. (An IdenticalStranger [[ActorAllusion also played by]] Music/VictoriaJustice.) She was a few years older on the crossover than when she played Shelby Marx and thus, more "matured." |
| 100 | * JustFriends: Despite the ShipTease between the two, Tori repeatedly refuses to be anything more than friends with Beck even after he and Jade break up. Tori makes this clear in "Tori Goes Platinum", where she refuses to kiss Beck because it would hurt Jade. In another episode, "Opposite Date", a random group of strangers even mistakes them for a couple, which they are both quick to deny. Tori even helps Beck and Jade get back together in "Jade Dumps Beck", and is very happy about them getting back together in another episode. |
| 101 | * KickTheDog: "Jade Dumps Beck", during Jade's breakdown, Tori outright tells Jade that they're not friends. |
| 102 | * KickTheMoralityPet: In "Cat's New Boyfriend", she slowly grows more and more jealous of Cat dating her ex-boyfriend Danny. To the point where she squirts hot cheese on the two during the former's first Hollywood kick back. To make matters worse, she kisses Danny, and Cat catches them shortly after doing so. |
| 103 | * LameComeback: Whenever Jade mocks her with a high-pitched southern Belle accent, Tori's go-to retort is an obvious "I don't talk like that!" |
| 104 | * LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: Tori's armpit cream in "Robarazzi." |
| 105 | * MeaningfulName: "Victoria" is Latin for [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "victory"]]. Her last name "Vega" is also the brightest star in the constellation Lyra, which represents the lyre of the singer [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Orpheus]]. |
| 106 | * TheMuse: To Andre. Not only has she helped with his song writing, but he's only been able to pull off a lot of his performances with her on the stage beside him. |
| 107 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After squirting Cat and Danny with hot cheese, she's overcome with guilt. It gets worse after Cat catches her and Danny kissing. |
| 108 | * MsFanservice: Downplayed as Tori doesn't show off much skin compared to the other girls. However, Tori will often wear pants that hug her legs and show them off. She also has a habit of wearing shirts that hug tightly to her. |
| 109 | * NewTransferStudent: It is notable in that it's the students from the new school who pressure her to transfer in. |
| 110 | * NiceGirl: Notably, she refuses to ever lash out at Jade despite the latter's horrible attitude towards her, [[spoiler:even to the point where she won't kiss Beck out of respect for Jade's feelings, even though Jade and Beck are no longer together.]] However, she still has her {{Jerkass}} moments too... like trying to drown her sister or leaving a little girl dangling from the ceiling (in her defense, they were being ''very'' obnoxious). |
| 111 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Most of the time (i.e. "Beck's Big Break", "Rex Dies", "Prom Wrecker", and "Wok Star" to name a few), but she fixes it. Subverted in ''Tori Tortures Teacher'' where Sikowitz' depression is not because Tori took him to a play that made his life look worthless, but because [[spoiler:he misses his girlfriend's pet cat.]] |
| 112 | * OhCrap: When Ms. Lee outright tells her she will get her revenge on Tori what she did to her daughter in "Wok Star". |
| 113 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Everyone calls her "Tori" as opposed to "Victoria." |
| 114 | * OnlySaneWoman: Of the female characters. Cat is TheDitz and a TalkativeLoon, Jade is the bitchy TokenEvilTeammate, and Trina is an annoying, egotistical StrawLoser. Compared to them, Tori is smart, nice, and levelheaded. |
| 115 | * OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank: in ''Tori Gets Stuck''. |
| 116 | * PlatonicLifePartners: Tori is this with Andre. The two are best friends and constantly together in their free time. Andre is also the closest to each other out of the group. Andre even once stayed at her house. |
| 117 | * PlotAllergy: "Tori Gets Stuck" reveals that she's allergic to bush daisies. While she averts having an allergic reaction, she does reveal that they make her face swell up. |
| 118 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Trina's Red. |
| 119 | * TheRival: Jade, though she makes it clear that she'd prefer to be Jade's friend. |
| 120 | * RunningGag: Ever since "Rex Dies", people really can't stop mentioning Tori's cheekbones. One notable instance is the time Ke$ha commented on it, which earned a blush from Tori. |
| 121 | * SanitySlippage: In "Ice Cream for Ke$ha", Tori is forced to be Trina’s assistant due to a deal they made when they were kids. Eventually, she decides to get Ke$ha to perform for Trina to get out of it. Throughout the episode, Tori gets more and more desperate to find the letters that spell Ke$ha's name. When they couldn’t find the $, she ends up cracking in a store. |
| 122 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After long hours of chopping squid, Ms. Lee lets Tori and Robbie leave seeing they paid off their bill. Robbie hops over the counter, only to break the plates, thus having Ms. Lee demand them to work some more. Tori says to hell with that and immediately ditches Robbie. |
| 123 | * SelfFulfillingProphecy: The reason she took the punishment for something she could've proven she didn't do in "Stage Fighting" was because if she had, she could already tell that she'd waste a lot of her time at Hollywood Arts locking horns with Jade. However, because Jade has deep-seated psychological issues and ''way'' too much pride to refer to Tori with any positivity, this ends up happening anyway. |
| 124 | * SheatheYourSword[=/=]TurnTheOtherCheek: She'd rather take a harsh but completely avoidable punishment that she doesn't deserve than spend her time at Hollywood Arts fighting with Jade. When Jade can't grasp this, her response basically amounts to "Try kindness, bitch." |
| 125 | * SiblingYinYang: Tori is this with Trina. Tori is a NiceGirl, has UndyingLoyalty to her friends, is easy-going, and is often the OnlySaneWoman, while Trina is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, is often a GloryHound, and is very self-centered. |
| 126 | * SignatureMove: Whenever she truly gets into the music, she tends to bend her arm over her head. |
| 127 | * SilentSnarker: Her signature reaction to Jade insulting her. |
| 128 | * SlidingScaleOfBeauty: Level III, World Class Beauty. Cheery and very beautiful, she and especially her cheekbones attract the attention of many. |
| 129 | * TheSmartGirl: She somewhat shares this role with Robbie, but she's more street smart and tactical. She is also implied a little in "Pilot" and "Car, Rain, & Fire" to have an affinity for science. |
| 130 | * SpicyLatina: Zig-zagged. She's half-Puerto Rican and often too passive and sweet to qualify, but she's fairly sassy, stubborn and has shown on several occasions to have a short temper. |
| 131 | * StupidSexyFlanders: Tori just can't deny that Jade is outright gorgeous and has a habit of checking her out...a lot. |
| 132 | * StupidSexyFriend: This is basically her and Jade's dynamic in a nutshell. |
| 133 | * SympathyForTheDevil: Definitely this with Jade, as she always forgives her no matter how far Jade's more extreme outbursts tend to go, though the "devil" part may be a bit of an exaggeration |
| 134 | * TakeThatKiss: She kisses Beck in front of the whole class at the end of the pilot episode just to stick it to Jade. |
| 135 | * TitleDrop: "I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND I AM VICTORIOUS!!!" |
| 136 | * TookALevelInBadass: The whole plot of In "The Gorilla Club", where in order to more convincingly get prepared for a harder acting gig she trains at the titular underground action club. |
| 137 | %%* TookALevelInJerkass: Debatable in "How Trina Got In". |
| 138 | * UndyingLoyalty: She's there for pretty much everyone, but [[BigBad Jade]] is a special case. Even despite their history, which includes a count or 2 of literal life endangerment, Tori still treats Jade like someone worthy of love. [[spoiler:The fact that she refuses to kiss Beck because it would destroy Jade is proof enough.]] |
| 139 | * UnwittingPawn: A variation of this: [[spoiler:she doesn't realize that she had taken Ponnie's place in Hollywood Arts upon Ponnie getting kicked out, thus unintentionally driving her to revenge. The horrific part? She has actually done ''nothing''.]] |
| 140 | * VictoriousLoser: In "Stage Fighting". Which is interesting considering her name and the name of the show. |
| 141 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Jade. |
| 142 | * TheWatson: A small running gag is that she's constantly asking what this, that and the other thing mean, often concerning terminology in the performing arts, and it often infuriates Jade. Especially when she finds herself asking what an ''understudy'' is. |
| 143 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's so acrophobic that she can't make herself fall from a two-story floor to a giant air mattress for a stunt. It takes Jade pushing her off for her to conquer her fear of heights. |
| 144 | * WithFriendsLikeThese: With Jade. |
| 145 | * WomanScorned: She's fine if you ''just'' break up with her. Cheating on her or just using her will end with you getting a HumiliationConga. Ryder Daniels and Steven found this out the hard way. |
| 146 | * YankTheDogsChain: She gets the lead in "Tori Gets Stuck", but we all know [[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank why she never gets to star in her debut.]] "The Gorilla Club" has her defeating the gorilla, [[spoiler:only to be tackled off of the crate]]. She also [[spoiler:passes her movie audition]], but because [[spoiler:of her "gorilla injuries", she doesn't get the part]]. |

| 149 | [[folder:André Harris]] |
| 150 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/victorious_season_two_promos_06.jpg]] |
| 151 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Leon Thomas III |
| 152 | |
| 153 | Tori's best friend and a talented musician. |
| 154 | ---- |
| 155 | * AccidentalMisnaming: Trina can never get his name right. This running gag trails off after the first few episodes. |
| 156 | * TheAce: Andre appears to be remarkably good at everything. |
| 157 | * AlmostKiss: [[spoiler:Almost kisses Tori due to her posing as Jade in "Jade Gets Crushed".]] |
| 158 | * ArousedByTheirVoice: Develops a crush on Jade after hearing her sing. |
| 159 | * BigEater: In "The Bad Roommate" he finishes a pot pie meant for the Vega ''family''. That's why they call it ''family'' pot pie, y'know. |
| 160 | %%* TheBigGuy |
| 161 | * ChivalrousPervert: He mentioned in his Slap video profile "I like girls...a lot." |
| 162 | * ChickMagnet: Though not quite at Beck's level, Andre is fully capable of getting dates. |
| 163 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Has his moments, like angsting over never being stung by a bee. |
| 164 | * DeadpanSnarker: Andre can be pretty sarcastic, particularly when someone does something ridiculous or inappropriate. He also has traces of being a GentlemanSnarker. |
| 165 | * DisappearedDad: His father is only mentioned once throughout the series and it's on the Slap, when Andre talks about going to have Thanksgiving dinner with him. It's never explained why Andre doesn't live with him. |
| 166 | * GirlsLikeMusicians: While not as much as [[ChickMagnet Beck]], the musically-inclined Andre gets plenty of attention from girls. Oftentimes, he's approached by girls after concerts. At the end of an episode where he was pinning over Jade, he gets over these feelings once another girl shows interest in him. |
| 167 | * TheHeart: Andre is often the one to pacify others and keep members of the group from arguing with each other. Even [[{{Jerkass}} Jade]] noticeably treats him better than she does Robbie, Cat, and Tori, as pointed out in one episode. |
| 168 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Beck. |
| 169 | * JackOfAllTrades: Can sing, act, and is gifted on multiple instruments. |
| 170 | * TheLancer: He is Tori's best friend, who often functions as TheLeader. Together, they keep each other grounded and make a good team. |
| 171 | * LargeHam: Notably whenever he gets upset/stressed out. |
| 172 | * MissingMom: Played straight with his mother, as she's never brought up in any capacity. |
| 173 | * NiceGuy: Andre is generally a sensitive, kindhearted person. The biggest [[JerkassBall exception]] to this is in "A Christmas Tori" where he gets upset over a bad grade, he takes his anger out on Robbie by shoving him out of his chair and knocking him to the ground. But by the next episode he's back to his normal, nice self. |
| 174 | * TheNotLoveInterest: He's the closest to Tori in the main group, so it's easy to think he's her love interest, especially when they've even done a couple of love duets together. But they're best friends, and don't see each other as anything more. |
| 175 | * OnlySaneMan: Trades off with Tori and Beck, also he's often the guy his friends go to advice for. He is the only one treated like a normal guy. |
| 176 | * ThePerfectionist: When it comes to his music. |
| 177 | * PlatonicLifePartners: With Tori and to an extent, Jade. |
| 178 | * PrettyBoy: Courtesy his smooth, youthful looks. He's also pretty ripped. |
| 179 | * RecycledPremise: Most of his B-plots involve (a) performing to get the attention of a very famous record producer, which he actually does (b) with Tori's help. Episodes later, he performs for ''another'' producer to the point he could have signed for multiple producers ''while'' in Hollywood Arts. What happened to these producers and Andre's music are ''never'' brought up anyway. It was once even played with when both Tori and Andre thought they were getting a record deal only to fail when a baby starts crying. |
| 180 | * ShirtlessScene: Subverted in "The Breakfast Bunch" when he starts stripping off and dancing down the hallways, but deliberately stopping when he's down to a shirt that says '[[FunTShirt Final Shirt]]'. |
| 181 | * TheSmartGuy: Definitely one of the sanest characters in the series (second to Beck), but he is also quite smart. {{Lampshaded}} by Tori when she suggests Jade and Andre combine their talents to make an effective revenge plot. |
| 182 | -->'''Tori:''' You're smart, she's mean. Figure something out. |
| 183 | * StunnedSilence: Andre's reaction in “Freak The Freak Out” when he hears Tara and Hayley sing. In this case, he is actually shocked by how bad they are compared to Cat and Jade. Happens again in "Jade Gets Crushed", this time [[ShipTease as stunned amazement when he heard Jade]] [[ArousedByTheirVoice sing.]] |
| 184 | * UndyingLoyalty: |
| 185 | ** To Tori. He always stick up for her whenever she needs him. Even when he had an extremely elderly relative's birthday to celebrate, he stayed to help Tori [[spoiler:write a song to help her get retribution on Ryder Daniels]]. |
| 186 | ** His grandmother as well. He cares deeply for her even despite how irritated he gets with her mental illness. |
| 187 | ** To Beck as well, as we see in "Jade Gets Crushed". |
| 188 | * WouldHitAGirl: Implied in "Freak The Freak Out". When he protested the obviously rigged vote in the sing-off at Karaoke Dokie, Tara angrily tells him to sit down, to which he immediately claps back "I'll sit YOU down!". |
| 189 | * WouldHurtAChild: Tries to attack Sikowitz's bratty neighbor in "Robbie Sells Rex", but Tori, Beck, and Jade hold him back. |

| 195 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Matt Bennett |
| 196 | |
| 197 | A part of the group with a crush on Cat and a puppet named Rex. |
| 198 | ---- |
| 199 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Towards Trina and later Cat in Episode 3. Subverted in Cat's New Boyfriend, when Trina seems to be warming up greatly towards him, and the show often hints that Cat and Robbie may like each other. |
| 200 | * AccidentalKiss: With Jade in "The Bad Roommate", tripping over a backpack. |
| 201 | * AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: During Robarazzi, he embarrasses his friends to gain internet fame, and says they're overreacting when they're upset. Luckily, this is the only instance of this from him, and his friends helped him see the error of his ways. |
| 202 | * AllJewsAreCheapskates: Is incredibly stingy with his money, to the point where he allows his phone to be essentially useless because he doesn't want to pay for phone service. |
| 203 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: While they do care about him, Robbie's friends seem to like making fun of Robbie and get really annoyed with him quite easily, even if he hasn't done anything wrong. |
| 204 | * AmbiguouslyBi: There are hints that Robbie may be a closeted bisexual. He's clearly interested in dating girls, but most of the girls at school belittle, taunt and reject him, and only a few of his temporary girlfriends have lasted one episode. He has commented that Beck looked "really good" in a tight pair of jeans in ''A Film by Dale Squires'', and on other occasions indicates he may have a bit of a man-crush. See Rex Powers (his alter-ego) below for more examples. |
| 205 | ** There's also some theories he may be inter-sex or transgender, due to the RunningGag of the group (and Yerban prison guards) always confusing Robbie's gender. |
| 206 | * BirdsOfAFeather: With Cat. |
| 207 | * BringMyBrownPants: Was once searching for adult diapers, and considering he recently peed himself when Jade simply glared at him, one can assume he gets scared easily enough to need extra protection |
| 208 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: He's actually extremely talented in many different ways, despite being one of the most eccentric members of the cast and having Rex. |
| 209 | * ButtMonkey: [[OnceAnEpisode Every episode sees him either injured, insulted, or otherwise shown in an unfairly negative light]]. For example in "Helen Back Again," he buys Sinjin's bike and [[spoiler:Helen promptly runs over it with her car]], but only AFTER he pays for it. |
| 210 | * CelebrityResemblance: to [[Music/TheLonelyIsland Andy Samberg]], which gets brought up at least once. |
| 211 | * TheChewToy: Undergoes a lot of abuse from other characters. |
| 212 | * DisproportionateRetribution: A big victim of this. Robbie goes to a park (on his bike) to give away some ice cream that would have otherwise been thrown out. He willingly screams out "Free ice cream!" and all the moms chase him into an alley and beat him with sticks. Accidentally kills the Chancellor of Yerba's pet octopus, and it lands him, Trina, Cat, Jade, Beck, and Andre all in prison (Though possibly justified, as Festus later comments the octopus was like the Statue of Liberty to Yerba). He is also threatened bodily by Trina when he gives a review of her play that she doesn't like, and was once thrown out of a window by Andre's cousin Kendra for accidentally stepping on her toe. |
| 213 | * DoggedNiceGuy: To Cat Valentine, and sometimes other girls he tries to date or hit on. |
| 214 | * DidNotThinkThisThrough: Some of the problem he runs into does fall into this territory. |
| 215 | * {{Flanderization}}: Somewhat in Season 2 and the beginning of season 3 on the subjects of him being [[AllJewsAreCheapskates cheap]]/[[GreedyJew selfish]], having incredibly bad luck (especially with girls) and being a near Sinjin-level loser. Luckily, they pulled back and he's back to his geeky but sweet personality from season 1, if not a little more characterized. He's also inching closer and closer to AssholeVictim territory, as he caused all the damage in Cat's mom's boss' home because he wouldn't hand over a skull (in ''Andre's Horrible Girl''), and there was no reason for him to jump over the counter in ''How Trina Got In''. |
| 216 | %%* HelplessGoodSide |
| 217 | * SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: In-universe. You wouldn't think it at first but he's arguably the single most talented member of the main cast, skilled in every venue - but has [[CompanionCube one little issue]] that causes problems... |
| 218 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With his alter-ego, Rex. |
| 219 | * HiddenDepths: In the recent episode The Hambone King, Robbie proves himself to be a (near)master slap-dancer. Had it not been for the sushi or groin injury he'd be the champion. |
| 220 | * IdiotBall: Many of the problems the kids get into over several episodes (notably ''The Great Ping-Pong Scam'', ''How Trina Got In'' and ''Locked Up!''), are directly his fault. His behavior in dealing with Rex (notably in ''Wi-Fi In The Sky'') also puts him in this category. |
| 221 | %%* ImportantHaircut |
| 222 | * ItMeantSomethingToMe: He develops crushes on Trina and Cat after they kiss him as it meaning nothing (in Trina's case it was part of an act, in Cat's case it was to show him a kiss doesn't need to mean something). |
| 223 | * JerkassBall: In the episode "Robbarazzi" where he creates a blog embarrassing all of his friends by exploiting and spreading lies about them. He also felt no remorse until his friends had to blackmail him into stop doing it. |
| 224 | * JewishAndNerdy: He is indeed very nerdy and tech-oriented, often whipping out his over-sized tablet computer for simple matters. Sikowitz even calls him "Urkel"" in ''Locked Up'' (see above), a reference to ''Series/FamilyMatters'' which had a well-known example of the trope, one Steve Urkel. The first season even had him dressing similar to Urkel, with strange patterned and colorful cardigans. |
| 225 | * LargeHam: When he gets really worked up, Robbie can be quite dramatic. |
| 226 | %%* LovableNerd |
| 227 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Feminine Boy to Jade. |
| 228 | * TheMillstone: Robbie constantly causes trouble for his friends. He once got them all sent to jail. |
| 229 | * MissingMom: Little to nothing is known about Robbie's mother. |
| 230 | * MomentKiller: |
| 231 | ** Robbie does this to Tori's parents on their anniversary after getting kicked out of Sikowitz's house. If that wasn't bad enough, he then invites Cat and a guy she has just been on a date with over as well. |
| 232 | ** Indirectly the reason for Tori spraying Cat and Daniel with cheese at the Annual Throwback. He ''did'' tell Tori where the cheese fountain was. Whether or not he wanted that to happen or if it was a freak thing is up for debate... |
| 233 | * NerdGlasses: The actor portraying him, Matt Bennett, sports an even nerdier pair in real life. |
| 234 | * NiceJewishBoy: He is usually a compassionate and sweet-natured person. |
| 235 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: He has also been known to make things worse on occasion (i.e. "The Great Ping Pong Scam" and "Locked Up"). Sikowitz even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it in the latter's case: "Way to go, Urkel". |
| 236 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: |
| 237 | ** Tries to give free ice cream to kids at the park instead of wasting it all, and all their mothers chase him into an alley and beat him up. |
| 238 | ** In order to help Trina stay in Hollywood Arts, he has to get beat up by her and is nearly killed when Helen rips off a locker door, ready to bash his head in. |
| 239 | ** Makes a portable battery from car batteries so Tori can use her phone. She later gets frustrated with it and electrocutes him with them. |
| 240 | ** He and Cat deliver some bad news to kids in song to keep them cheerful, and when they do it for Trina, she takes Robbie's guitar and smashes it (Granted you have to admit telling a girl at the VERY last second when she ready to get pick up this MIGHT not be the best idea). |
| 241 | ** Trains Tori for her tech theater exam, and his school record is beaten by one point, leaving him broken. |
| 242 | ** Gives a review on Trina's play, and is threatened bodily because Trina doesn't like the review (which he sugarcoated by the way, as one can imagine what she'd have done to him if he'd said what he actually thought of it). |
| 243 | * NoodleIncident: Whatever he did playing "Pirates" with Cat that made her so adverse to the idea afterwards. |
| 244 | * OddFriendship: Other than with a puppet, will occasionally be partners in crime with the catty and short tempered Trina. Prominently with Jade in "Star Spangled Tori", as they team up to find out what's wrong with Cat and act closer than we've seen them. |
| 245 | * OutOfCharacterMoment: In the ''Series/SamAndCat'' special, he doesn't have Rex around, but Robbie isn't a pathetic mess unlike how he had been portrayed when he couldn't function without Rex before. |
| 246 | * ParentalAbandonment: By his mom. |
| 247 | * RealMenWearPink: While not exactly the manliest guy out there, you gotta give points to a kid his age who came shamelessly flaunt his male makeup and $40 pedicures while not being all {{Camp}} about it. |
| 248 | * RenaissanceMan: You wouldn't think it at first but Robbie has the most variety of talents out of the main cast being able to dance, act, play music, do the technical sides really well (being the person who taught Tori how to do stage production), and be an extremely talented ventriloquist. |
| 249 | * RunningGag: |
| 250 | ** Since the beginning of the show, characters have been known to confuse Robbie for a girl. |
| 251 | ** Usually gets a unique one once an episode, such as his zipper falling down for no reason or being snubbed a compliment every time he asks for feedback on his part in a play. |
| 252 | * SadClown: Arguably the biggest one of the series. He constantly tries to do good and lift his friends' spirits, most likely because he grew up with such a low opinion of himself. His locker is a mosaic of baby bottle tips to remind him of a time when he was legitimately happy. |
| 253 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Sensitive Guy to Andre, Beck, and Rex's Manly Men. |
| 254 | * ShirtlessScene: Deliberately in "A Film by Dale Squires" while riding the appeal of Beck fixing his car, and early in "Cell Block" [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment but not so deliberately]]. |
| 255 | * StalkerWithACrush: |
| 256 | ** Towards Trina in Episode 3, after she kisses him for an audition. |
| 257 | ** He apparently has made a routine out of hiding in the bushes at Tori's house and watching her. |
| 258 | ** He apparently seems to be this for Cat. He has a collection of cut-outs for her in different poses. Also, during Cat's time sleeping in the school, he was in the girls' restroom. Both Tori and Jade questioned this strange acts. |
| 259 | * ThrowTheDogABone: In "Robbie Sells Rex," he gives Rex away for $2,000. He manages to get Rex back in the end, and to top it all off, he never has to give back the $2,000. |
| 260 | * UndyingLoyalty: To his friends, particularly Cat, even though they have a hard time showing the same loyalty and respect back. [[OutOfCharacterMoment Strangely averted]] in "Robarazzi". |
| 261 | * TheUnfavorite: Robbie mentions on the Slap that he has a sister. We don't know what their relationship is like, but given what we know of his relationship with his parents, it stands to reason that they prefer her over him. |
| 262 | * WardrobeMalfunction: His pants are always unzipped for some reason. |
| 263 | * WithFriendsLikeThese: Everybody will usually give him this treatment, how harshly depends on the episode. They have very little patience with him for no good reason, (he's annoying but still a good friend and person, and that time he use his friends embarassment to his own advantages that probably went viral on other sites) and don't seem to mind much when he's in pain, insulted, or upset. |

| 268 | [[quoteright:170:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Medium_Rex_4443.jpg]] |
| 269 | |
| 270 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Jake Farrow |
| 271 | |
| 272 | Robbie's puppet, whom no one likes. |
| 273 | ---- |
| 274 | * AdaptedOut: He is nowhere to be seen in one of the ''Sam & Cat'' specials where Robbie appears but he doesn't, which is weird. |
| 275 | * AmbiguouslyBi: In ''Beggin' On Your Knees'' he says Rider Daniels is hot, when everyone stares he merely replies "Stare all you want, I'm secure", which can be taken one of two ways, but even when a straight man compliments another man's looks he usually wouldn't use such a description. Then in [[CrossOver iParty With Victorious]] after André yells at him, his response is to say he has beautiful skin as he (André) leaves. |
| 276 | * AmbiguouslySentientObject: The show makes it ambiguous if Rex is actually sentient or not. Robbie's friends act like he's real, though in an episode where Rex "dies", it's revealed they do so more or less to humor Robbie. However, in another episode surrounding Trina's harness being cut during a play, Rex is revealed to be the culprit, with Robbie having to cover it up -- it's unclear if Rex actually sabotaged Trina's play of his own accord and ability, or [[GollumMadeMeDoIt if Robbie did it and was just shifting blame]]. |
| 277 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: Rex posts a worried question about the episode "Rex Dies" on [=TheSlap=]. Narrates in between commercial breaks during 'April Fools Blank'. |
| 278 | * BullyingADragon: In "A Film By Dale Squires", he makes the mistake of poking fun at Jade, who knocks him unconscious for his troubles. |
| 279 | * CasanovaWannabe: ''Yes'', the puppet. |
| 280 | * CatchPhrase: Rex tends to say "ah" followed by his jaw hanging open. |
| 281 | * CompanionCube: For Robbie. The others also treat Rex as if he were real, but it's shown in "Rex Dies" that they do so to humor Robbie. And without him around, Robbie can't basically function. |
| 282 | * DeadpanSnarker: Makes a habit of dishing out biting quips, most often at the expense of Robbie. |
| 283 | * DemotedToExtra: There are few Season 4 episodes where he appears, and he speaks in even less of them. |
| 284 | * DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler:Rex sabotaged the harness which lead to Trina being injured. All because she punched him in the face, and she deserved it, considering what he said.]] |
| 285 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Snarky and abrasive he may be, Rex still has morals: |
| 286 | ** Even he was appalled when Jade poured iced coffee on Tori's head on her first day. |
| 287 | ** He was genuinely horrified when Cat was intercepting emergency calls from people in car accidents and not doing anything to actually help them. |
| 288 | ** In "Beck Falls for Tori", when Andre reassures Tori about her stunt by saying there's not going to be a funeral, Cat gives a disappointed "aww", prompting a JawDrop from Rex. |
| 289 | * EvilCounterpart: For Robbie, verging on EvilTwin, but Robbie is the only member of the cast who sees him this way. |
| 290 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Robbie. |
| 291 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his occasional rudeness and abrasive attitude, he is still capable of having friendly conversations with his pals, does try to help them sometimes, and even tries to help boost Robbie's confidence when not tearing it down. |
| 292 | * KavorkaMan: Closest you could get to on a kid's show... yeah.. the ''puppet'' 'consorts' with a great number of Northridge girls and even has a hickey from their prom that he went to. |
| 293 | * LemonyNarrator: Briefly, in 'April Fool's Blank', Rex narrates at the first commercial break, telling the audience to come back... "or don't, I still get paid either way.' |
| 294 | * MandatoryLine: Ever since 'Blooptorious', he only appears once or twice in an episode and gets a line. In 'Car, Rain, and Fire' he doesn't even appear. |
| 295 | * MeaningfulName: '''Rex''' (which means ''king'') '''Powers''' seems to reflect the domineering grip he has on Robbie. |
| 296 | * NotSoImaginaryFriend: At least in the licensed game for the Wii, where he is definitely alive. The show itself hints this might be the case, but never confirms it. |
| 297 | * NWordPrivileges: At the end of "Who Did It To Trina," Rex says that it's only okay if he calls himself a puppet. And yet, in [[CrossOver iPartyWithVictorious]], he didn't take offense to Sam calling him one. In fact, when Robbie told her not to say that, Rex just responded "Nah, nah, it's cool." He once mentioned on the Slap something along the lines of "rights for Puppet-Americans". |
| 298 | * PetTheDog: This exchange with Tori about her waiting for the announcement ''of'' the announcement of a new phone. |
| 299 | -->'''Rex:''' You mean you're waiting for the announcement of the announcement?\ |
| 300 | '''Tori:''' Yeah.\ |
| 301 | '''Rex:''' Girl, you're better than that. |
| 302 | * PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: In ''iParty With Victorious''. |
| 303 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Manly Man to Robbie's Sensitive Guy. Watch any episode from seasons 1 or 2 and wait for Robbie and Rex to show up. |
| 304 | * SnarkyNonhumanSidekick: He is a puppet belonging to Robbie whom he often snarks at. |
| 305 | * WhatYouAreInTheDark: Subverted in ''Beck's Big Break''; while dreaming, Robbie sees Rex as a separate being and not as an extension of himself. |

| 308 | [[folder:Jade West]] |
| 309 | !!Jade West |
| 310 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vic_s3g_19hr.jpg]] |
| 311 | [[caption-width-right:350:'' "Don't Touch Me." '']] |
| 312 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/ElizabethGillies |
| 313 | |
| 314 | --> ''"Dude! Why you rubbing my boyfriend?"'' |
| 315 | |
| 316 | A student at Hollywood Arts, who quickly makes enemies with Tori, due to her rubbing on Jade's boyfriend. Despite this, the two are often paired together and make a surprisingly good team. Her main talent is acting, but she can also direct and sing. She is dating Beck and is best friends with Cat. |
| 317 | ---- |
| 318 | * AesopAmnesia: Sometimes. The most egregious example is after the episode ''Tori Goes Platinum''. |
| 319 | * AlphaBitch: Played with. The first episodes definitely portrays her as one, but later episodes show too many sides that an Alpha Bitch would not possess, the most telling of which being her circle of friends: she hangs out with Tori and company most of the time. That said, if the plot requires a Alpha Bitch-like antagonist, Jade is more than capable of stepping up to the challenge. |
| 320 | ** Of course, as anyone who went to a performing arts or vocational high school can attest to, a goth AlphaBitch is TruthInTelevision. |
| 321 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: Perhaps more so a female variation on TallDarkAndSnarky. |
| 322 | * AlwaysSecondBest: She finds herself coming second to Tori rather often, and it boils her blood. Most prominent in "Tori Gets Stuck". |
| 323 | * AmbiguouslyBi: Embodies this trope more than any other girl on the show. She's committed and (mostly) happy in her [[OfficialCouple relationship with Beck]] for the majority of the series, but still has a ton of Les Yay moments and can seem rather suggestively flirty with her female peers, not to mention her ambiguously close relationship with Cat and the love-hate, almost-canon relationship with Tori, which seems heavy on the {{UST}}. She also has a nautical star tattoo and her preferred hideaway is the janitor's closet. And let's not even mention ''The Scissoring''... |
| 324 | * AntiVillain: She's a callous bully and a control freak, but at the end of the day, she's merely a teenager with issues. |
| 325 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: |
| 326 | ** Has moments like these with Cat, especially in ''Star-Spangled Tori''. |
| 327 | ** With Tori at the end of ''Wok Star'' and ''Tori Goes Platinum'', though she still wouldn't admit it out-loud. |
| 328 | * TheBadGuyWins: In "Crazy Ponnie", she manages to track Cat down and well, things get pretty ugly from there. |
| 329 | * BeautyIsBad: So very much. She may be attractive, but she's very abrasive, sarcastic, and ill-tempered. |
| 330 | * BerserkButton: She has a number of these, but topping the list would be flirting with and/or kissing her boyfriend. That, or Tori beating her at something. |
| 331 | * BigBad: She's the cause of the main conflict of a ton of episodes, even ones where she's not the main antagonist, like in "Cat's New Boyfriend", when she simply takes time out of her day to prod Tori's jealousy towards Cat until she flips out. |
| 332 | * BigSisterBully: She has a younger brother who she mentions in a Slap video only ''once'', and it’s of Jade mimicking his voice as she recalls how much she loves listening to him panic whenever she locks herself in the bathroom. |
| 333 | * BigSisterInstinct: Whenever Cat is in trouble or being bullied. |
| 334 | * BladeEnthusiast: NightmareFetishist Jade is obsessed with scissors, often carrying multiple pairs hidden in her clothing. Cat's SecretSanta present for her was even a pair used in a horror movie. |
| 335 | * BoobBasedGag: |
| 336 | ** The writers noticed. |
| 337 | --->'''Cat:''' You better come help Jade!\ |
| 338 | '''Tori:''' With what?\ |
| 339 | '''Cat:''' [[ItMakesSenseInContext She can't get her boobs in the hamburger.]] |
| 340 | ** In "A Christmas Tori", when Andre asks "How does one go from an A to a D?" in reference to his music assignment, Jade chimes in with "Happened to ''me'' in 8th grade" without missing a beat. |
| 341 | ** Referenced again in "Wanko's Warehouse". Cat asks who is the flattest of the group, and thus the best person to try to slide under the lasers. Jade and Trina give each other looks and both take a step backward. |
| 342 | ** In "One Thousand Berry Balls", Jade sarcastically suggests hiding Cat in her bra and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Cat]] briefly considers it. |
| 343 | * BrainyBrunette: A dark-haired girl who is both witty and a hardworking student. |
| 344 | * BreakoutCharacter: Appeared to be extremely popular with fans of the show. She appears to especially be beloved by lesbian and bisexual women who grew up watching the show. |
| 345 | * BreakTheHaughty: In the pilot, where Tori delivers some major TakeThat 's to her hitherto AlphaBitch reign at Hollywood Arts, and again in ''The Worst Couple'' when Beck [[spoiler:breaks up with her]] after delivering a tirade against [[WithFriendsLikeThese her group of friends]]. |
| 346 | * BriefAccentImitation: Whenever she thinks Tori said something stupid, she repeats it back with a SouthernBelle accent. She also does this for Cat in a later episode. |
| 347 | * BrutalHonesty: She tends to tell the truth in situations where other people would sugarcoat it. Tori actually admires this, most likely because she values integrity. |
| 348 | * BunniesForCuteness: Yes, [[{{Jerkass}} Jade]] [[NightmareFetishist freaking]] [[StepfordSnarker West]] adores bunnies. It's never displayed on the show, but she mentions in a Slap video that she unironically finds rabbits adorable and even has one as a pet. |
| 349 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: She's a real {{Jerkass}}, but you have to admit that she's good at what she does. |
| 350 | * CallousnessTowardsEmergency: In "Who Did It To Trina?", when an accident in a live play hospitalizes Trina, Jade ''videotapes'' the incident. It's later revealed she also [[KickTheDog posted it online]] and gleefully reads the comments in front of the group. |
| 351 | * CannotSpitItOut: Has a really hard time dishing out compliments and usually has to let 'em out very slowly, most memorably in "Tori& Jade's Play Date". |
| 352 | -->'''Jade:''' I guess some people might say... from certain angles... |
| 353 | * {{Catchphrase}}: "[[SuddenlyShouting NO!!]]" |
| 354 | * CatFight: With Tori ''twice'' in "The Wood". The second was staged though. This is shockingly the only time they ever get into a physical altercation. |
| 355 | * CheshireCatGrin: Uses this frequently, often right before one of her more evil moments or when she's in one of her "suggestive" modes |
| 356 | * ChildHater: In "Tori Gets Stuck", she lights up at the thought of scaring babies. Averted by "Jade With Tots", though, as she's said to like little children. |
| 357 | * ClingyJealousGirl: More than justified in-universe, as most new female characters (even Tori!) have made eyes at him, and [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Sikowitz in ''Freak The Freak Out''. Most of the time, it's PlayedForLaughs and it's not meant to be a serious issue. That is, until Beck breaks up with her because he can't handle how jealous she can get. |
| 358 | * ClosetGeek: Her "What I Love" and "What I Hate" videos showcase a whole new side to Jade, especially the former. |
| 359 | * CloudCuckooLandersMinder: When Cat says something odder than usual, Jade usually gives her something to distract her from the rest of the conversation like keys or a colouring book. |
| 360 | * ColorMotif: Most obvious would be black, which speaks to how mysterious, seductive, intimidating, domineering, pessimistic, and sorrowful she is. She's also often associated with the color green, reflecting her jealous nature, as well as her rivalry with Tori, as [[ColorContrast green is the opposite of purple]]. |
| 361 | * TheCynic: Contrast to [[TheIdealist Tori]]. Cold, dark, bitter, and angry at the world, constantly expecting the worst and keeping her walls up to prevent even her closest from potentially hurting her. |
| 362 | * DarkIsEvil[=/=]DarkIsNotEvil: She's the resident goth chick, she's displayed interest in the occult and the macabre, and she's absolutely not a nice person. Zig-zagged, as she rarely does anything that can be considered objectively evil, not that it stops her from being callous and often the antagonist. |
| 363 | * DeadpanSnarker: She goes into SarcasmMode a lot. |
| 364 | * DeathGlare: Jade can deliver some serious whoppers in this department. |
| 365 | -->'''Beck:''' All she has to do is look at the guys and they start shaking... [[BringMyBrownPants and peeing]]. |
| 366 | * DefrostingIceQueen: |
| 367 | ** In several episodes, particularly "Tori and Jade's Play Date". |
| 368 | ** [[spoiler:Her giving Tori back her musical number in ''Tori Goes Platinum'' definitely qualifies.]] |
| 369 | ** In her big solo ''You Don't Know Me'', she literally sings the line "the longer that you stay, the ice is melting." |
| 370 | * DehumanizingInsult: At her worst moments, she may refer to somebody as less than human. In "The Worst Couple", she refers to Cat as "basically a pet". In "The Bad Roommate", she refers to Sinjin as "not people". And in "Tori Gets Stuck", she refers to Tori as "that". And when referring to Alyssa Vaughn in "Jade Dumps Beck"... |
| 371 | -->'''Jade:''' If Beck wants to date that, I hope he has tons of fun with it. |
| 372 | * {{Determinator}}: Not even suffering from a blistering burn on her palm could break her out of character in "Sleepover at Sikowitz". And if you've managed to piss her off, she will go through every possible nook and cranny to dish out what's coming to you. |
| 373 | * DisproportionateRetribution: |
| 374 | ** Jade went out of her way to keep Tori from playing the lead in "Tori Gets Stuck." The biggest part of this was leafing through Tori's medical records and exploiting them to make her donate [[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank two pints of blood in one night]] (Jade purposely misplaced the first pint). |
| 375 | ** In "Crazy Ponnie", Cat accidentally removed her eyebrows, which pushed her to hunt down the poor girl [[spoiler:and cut off her hair]]. |
| 376 | ** In "The Bad Roommate", she forces Cat to eat an entire bowl of raw bush peas because the latter had accidentally tweeted that she was picking her nose on The Slap. Jade's rationale? She's miserable and seeing Cat even more miserable makes her feel a tad better. |
| 377 | ** There are times when Jade actually tries to kill Tori (or other girls), just for looking at her boyfriend. |
| 378 | * DirtyCoward: She talks and acts hard, but when she's in peril, she opts to back off. |
| 379 | * DissonantSerenity: In "The Great Ping Pong Scam", when she and the rest of the main cast were at a restaurant about to be carted to jail for failing to pay off a bill they can't pay off, Jade tries eating [[TheSnackIsMoreInteresting a fruit salad]]! |
| 380 | * TheDreaded: If "Stage Fighting" is any indication, she's been this for a while. This is really hammered in come later seasons, which isn't surprising due to her {{Flanderization}}. It becomes a plot point in "Tori Fixes Beck and Jade". Apparently, all Jade has to do is ''look'' at most guys before they run off screaming. |
| 381 | * DrivenByEnvy: A likely (and reinforced) explanation for why she treats Tori so callously is that Tori always seems to get whatever she wants and tends to come off as a flawless girl with a happy life [[GreenEyedMonster and she hates it with a passion]]. Jade is obviously a hard worker who likely had to jump through a ton of hoops to make it into Hollywood Arts, so in her mind, who does Tori think she is strutting in after one little performance? |
| 382 | * EasilyForgiven: By Tori in "Stage Fighting", which she {{lampshade}}s. Tori tends to treat her this way in general really. |
| 383 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Has pale skin, brown (later, black) hair, and a creepy, hostile attitude. |
| 384 | * EmoTeen: Mildly subverted. Has many of the physical and emotional characteristics of this trope, but may be a bit too popular and officious to fit it properly. |
| 385 | * EnemyMine: For someone who claims to be annoyed by her friends, especially Tori and Robbie, she certainly finds herself relying on them a lot. Notable examples include "Wok Star" (in which she even had to rely on Trina), "Jade Dumps Beck", and "The Bad Roommate" (in which she even had to rely on Sinjin). |
| 386 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 387 | ** When Cat revealed that she'd been intercepting emergency calls without thinking to alert the paramedics, Jade seems put off. |
| 388 | ** Even as a NightmareFetishist, she finds Sinjin's imitating her and himself with sock puppets disturbing. |
| 389 | ** Even she felt bad when Dale Squires gave her and the gang the credit they deserved on national television when they were planning on humiliating him and immediately tried signalling to Andre's cousin to call the whole scheme off. |
| 390 | ** Infidelity is a pretty good way to get under her skin. |
| 391 | ** She understands that it's unhealthy for Robbie to rely on [[CompanionCube a puppet]] to function in society and agrees that Rex needs to be put down. |
| 392 | ** She's very protective of Cat. |
| 393 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Some of the background girls admit that Jade is as sexy as fuck. |
| 394 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: "Well, you can't be nice to me when I've been mean to you! That's not how it works!" |
| 395 | * EvilIsPetty: When she does get actually evil, she is oh so petty. And (as you'll see a lot throughout this profile) nothing exemplifies that more than "Tori Gets Stuck" where she's throwing tantrums, threatening Tori's life, going through her medical records, sending her bush daisies (which Tori is allergic to), and even stealing pints of her blood that are meant to be donated to Robbie for a critical operation, all because Tori beat her out as the lead of a school play. |
| 396 | * FailedASpotCheck: In "The Wood," the producers of the reality show splice Tori and Beck's separate phone calls to make it appear Beck is cheating on Jade with Tori, which immediately pisses Jade off. What she fails to notice, however, is that Beck's conversation is happening during the day while Tori's is taking place under the night, so the perceived conversation couldn't possibly have been real. |
| 397 | * FairWeatherFoe: The only time Jade ever acts friendly is when she needs something. |
| 398 | * FascinatingEyebrow: She's just as prone to this as Tori... and God help you if you [[BerserkButton accidentally wax them off...]] |
| 399 | * FauxActionGirl: |
| 400 | ** Jade can come across as hardcore (smashing Andre's apple in "Tori Gets Stuck", kicking in Beck's door in "Wi-Fi In The Sky", slicing up the garbage can in "Wok Star"), but when real danger seems afoot (most prominently in "Locked Up!"), Jade either bluffs or bolts. A talker, but not much of a fighter. She is, however, willing to throw down whenever Beck is involved. She actually attacked Tori in "The Wood", due to the edited phone call scene; when the show comes back from commercial break, Tori's living room is practically wrecked due to Jade manhandling her. |
| 401 | ** On her Slap Profile, if someone gets her angry, she won't fight them, but will [[DisproportionateRetribution retaliate in a way that will make them sad for a really long time]] (ex: destroy her peers socially) [[spoiler:like shaving someone's head at the end of ''Crazy Ponnie''.]] |
| 402 | * {{Flanderization}}: Jade was one of the more sane people on the show despite her callous tendencies and had some decent depth. She quickly turned into psychotic and vengeful ManipulativeBastard and has stooped to lows such as stealing a pint of blood that Tori donated just to keep her from performing in the school play, as well as attempting to kill the first ever Hollywood Arts prom and even recording an embarrassing and life-threatening incident that happened to Trina and posting it online ForTheEvulz. Jade's flanderization seems to be becoming averted in Season 3 (notably in "Tori Goes Platinum" and "Opposite Date"), though when any episode's premise needs an antagonist her character development [[AesopAmnesia tends to hit the reset button]]. |
| 403 | * {{Foil}}: To Tori, as you can no doubt tell by their senses of fashion. They're both hardworking, ambitious, and prone to acts of jealousy, snide wit, and selfishness. However, while Tori is kind, polite, optimistic, and has a (arguably) good relationship with her parents, Jade is mean, rude, consistently assumes the worst, and has pretty much been taking care of herself since her parents divorced. |
| 404 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Melancholic. |
| 405 | * FreudianExcuse: It was established in "Wok Star" that her home life could stand to be a lot more savory. Her father has [[WellDoneDaughterGirl no respect]] for her career choice, her chosen associates, or her [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking sense of style]]. Even when he can't deny that her play was excellent, he keeps their interaction brief and formal and [[TheStoic doesn't even crack a smile]]; according to Jade, [[PerpetualFrowner that's the happiest she's ever seen him]]. The Slap reveals even more about her home life and it's far worse than the actual show displayed or even implied. It turns out her father [[ParentalNeglect blatantly ignores her]] in favor of her stepmom (meaning her parents are divorced), whom she also doesn't like, and her "yappy little dog". In addition, he never kept one promise to her and the one time he cooked her breakfast, [[LethalChef she spent the whole morning throwing up]]. As a bonus, it's heavily implied that he once responded to a childish Thanksgiving prank of locking her "annoying" cousin in the basement by ''[[DisproportionateRetribution calling the cops on her]]!'' On the other side, she mentions that she never listens to her mother and even says that the only thing her mother ever did right for her was ''give her a name'' (though she does seem to drive her mother's car, which would imply that she does at least regularly take her to school). To wrap it all up, they seem to have shared custody of her. All of these heavily suggest that beneath her cold and serrated demeanor, Jade is in fact a [[BrokenBird lost and lonely little girl]] who is constantly afraid of letting people get too close to her only to be let down again; she uses aggression as a defensive mechanism against those she perceives as a potential threat (i.e., literally everyone, including her closest friends and even her boyfriend), a means of [[NeverBeHurtAgain getting them before they can get her]]. |
| 406 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Mix of Seniority, Audience Popularity, Fear, and Proximity: Most of the group has known Jade for two years as a classmate, she's dating Beck, and she's so known for viciously retaliating against people that it's unlikely anyone would make her leave even if those other two things weren't true. For her part, she shows no appreciation back, denouncing the entire group sans Andre as friends in "The Worst Couple". Even Beck has once said that the word "gank" doesn't even begin to describe how awful she can be, finding his relationship with her on the rocks, specifically in the aforementioned episode. |
| 407 | * FriendToAllChildren: She loves little kids, as shown in "Jade with Tots." |
| 408 | * FriendshipDenial: She does this rather often despite finding herself hanging with them all the time, even for her best friend, Cat, and especially to Tori. |
| 409 | -->'''Jade:''' You people give me a rash. |
| 410 | * {{Goth}}: Of the abrasive, sarcastic, and punkish variety. |
| 411 | * GothGirlsKnowMagic: Apparently, she believes in magic and the occult. When Tori and Cat go to pay their last respects to the recently deceased Mona Paterson, she joins them in order to absorb Mona's essence. |
| 412 | * TheGrinch: Jade has some traces of this, but still manages to get a pretty nice gift for Tori, all things considered. Also the insulting term grunch is clearly derived from Grinch. |
| 413 | %%* GuileHeroine |
| 414 | * HairTriggerTemper: Can’t go one episode without yelling at someone. |
| 415 | * HatesBeingTouched: Unless you're Beck, she will make you aware of this fact... and often not in a nice way, though she doesn't mind it if she is the one instigating the touching. Even then, Beck doesn't always get the privilege (notably, in "Tori and Jade's Play Date", she broke character during a play to tell Beck not to touch her. It should be noted that they were separated at the time.). Surprisingly, she never invokes this with [[TheRival Tori]], even inviting her touch on occasion. She doesn't even allow [[BestFriend Cat]] to touch her, the only exception being in "Crazy Ponnie" when she asks Cat to wax her eyebrows, though that doesn't go so well... |
| 416 | * HatesTheirParent: Jade has problems with her father, describing him as cold and judgmental. This animosity stems from him not approving of her pursuing a career in the creative arts. In addition, it is implied her childhood was less than ideal. For instance, the only time her Dad cooked breakfast for her, she spent the rest of the day [[LethalChef throwing up]]. That being said, she does try to [[WellDoneDaughterGirl prove herself to him]], even inviting him to one of her plays. |
| 417 | * HeavySleeper: How the hell do you stay asleep when there's a literal war going on right outside? |
| 418 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: She is definitely the character the writers are not sure whether she should pound Tori/Trina/Cat anytime or to be their VitriolicBestBuds at best. |
| 419 | * HeelRealization: In "Tori Goes Platinum", after seeing that Tori cares too much about her to pursue anything with Beck, Jade starts to feel horrible about taking her performance at the Platinum Music Awards (and probably the way she'd been treating her in general up to that point, given that their relationship grew a bit friendlier in season 4). |
| 420 | * HiddenDepths: Her Slap videos show more of her lovable and dorky side. If we're to take her fourth "What I Hate" video at face value, she still believes in Santa Claus and loves her grandma, which is the last thing you'd expect from [[DeadpanSnarker someone]] [[JadeColoredGlasses like]] Jade. She also likes bunnies and acts really sweet to little kids. |
| 421 | %%* HiddenHeartOfGold: Hinted at, but not confirmed or looked into one way or the other. |
| 422 | * {{Hypocrite}}: She does everything in her power to cultivate an image of herself as scary and dangerous, but strongly objects if anyone expresses that sentiment to her face. Also, even though she says she wants friends she can count on (see IJustWantToHaveFriends below), she refuses to treat Tori and the gang as her friends. |
| 423 | * HypocriticalHeartwarming: Never expressed out loud, but she does some things that imply that only ''she'' is allowed to mess with Tori, damn it (though Trina seems to be an exception, given that they're siblings)! (For example: Celebrating when Tori gives [[ManipulativeBastard Ryder Daniels]] his well-deserved HumiliationConga, looking shocked and irritated when Robbie dismissed Tori's valid concerns as "freaking out" in "Robarazzi", etc.) This extends to Cat as well. |
| 424 | * IcyBlueEyes: Which proves ideal whenever she uses a DeathGlare. |
| 425 | * ImprovisedWeapon: She's apparently able to murder someone with a roll of toilet paper. We're not sure how and Beck apparently doesn't want us finding out. |
| 426 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: Implied. In one of her "Jade with Tots" videos, she bitterly asks her interviewee why she doesn't have any friends she can count on. (Odd perspective, considering the amount of effort Tori puts into trying to be friends with her.) |
| 427 | * ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: In "Victori-Yes", where Trina is introducing her to a Mexican television show producer. |
| 428 | -->'''Trina:''' This is my mean sister, and her rude friend!\ |
| 429 | '''Jade''' Hey! Do not call me "her friend"! |
| 430 | * {{Jerkass}}: She's usually mean and rude to most people. |
| 431 | * JerkassHasAPoint: |
| 432 | ** She has good reason not to like Sinjin, as the guy literally broke into her house in one episode. |
| 433 | ** In "Prom Wrecker": While her method of handling the problem was not at all acceptable, she had every right to be pissed off that Tori had gotten her display (which she had probably spent several weeks setting up) cancelled. Jade ''did'' have the space reserved first, after all. |
| 434 | ** In "Tori Goes Platinum Part 2", after getting an accurate account of Tori's latest "diva tantrum" from Andre, she rebuts Tori's protests that the description of events isn't fair by asking how the truth isn't fair. Granted, Tori was being pressured into acting that way, but Jade doesn't know that and is making a reasonable point based on the information that she has. |
| 435 | ** In "Wi-Fi In The Sky" while she does get unreasonably jealous Beck was dogsitting for his neighbor. When she and Beck get in a fight after learning the girl in question was nine she correctly points out that Beck had plenty of time to tell her between her arrival and the cheerleader picking up the dog. |
| 436 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Teeters between this and JerkWithAHeartOfJerk. As abrasive. disrespectful, and even dangerous as Jade can be, she's not totally heartless, and it becomes more apparent overtime that her personality is a defense mechanism so she can't be hurt or betrayed by anyone. Her most notable example of this trope is when she helps Cat move in with her grandma after her parents abandon her. |
| 437 | * KarmaHoudini: Often. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in "Stage Fighting," when Tori goes out of her way ''not'' to punish Jade. |
| 438 | * {{Kawaiiko}}: Surprisingly, Jade in "iParty With Victorious", as the blue swimsuit she wears seems cute, modest, and quite out of character for her. Perhaps she's not as hard-boiled as she lets on...? |
| 439 | * KickTheDog: She does this a lot in season 2. Standout examples include "Tori Gets Stuck" and "Who Did it to Trina?". |
| 440 | * KickTheMoralityPet: |
| 441 | ** She spends "Crazy Ponnie" trying to viciously murder Cat for accidentally waxing her eyebrows. She eventually catches her in study hall and [[spoiler:shaves her head]]. |
| 442 | ** In "The Bad Roommate", she gets angry at Cat for foolishly getting people to see an embarrassing photo of her. She retaliates by forcing Cat to eat a bowl of raw bush peas. |
| 443 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Much more common from Season 2 on. Beck chews her out for trying to snark at Tori in "Beggin' on Your Knees." For trying to sabotage the prom, Tori ignored the votes and made Jade prom queen against her wishes and made the sabotage entertainment prom king. Sikowitz also denied Jade the lead part in "Steamboat Susie" when he caught onto her trying to take out Tori. And in "A Christmas Tori," he told her to her face that he wouldn't change the Secret Santa assignments (hers was Tori) just so she'd get what she wanted. |
| 444 | * LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: Jade's sweating at the end of "Survival of the Hottest". |
| 445 | * LightDarknessJuxtaposition: Compare to Tori and Cat. She is cold, reserved, cynical, and all of her outfits are at least 70% black. Meanwhile, Tori and Cat are warm, energetic, optimistic, and you'd be lucky to find them casually wearing ''anything'' in black. |
| 446 | * LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: With Beck, [[OfficialCouple obviously]], even when they'd [[spoiler:stopped dating for a season]]. She also shares this dynamic with [[TheRival Tori]], as lampshaded by Cat in "Car, Rain, & Fire". |
| 447 | * LonelyAmongPeople: She is this when it comes to trusting her friends. Even though she is friends with Tori and the others, she feels very uneasy about trusting them, fearing that they will mess things up for her, and it makes her feel like she has no one she can really count on and feels alone in the process. |
| 448 | * TheMadHatter: In "Prom Wrecker", Tori calls her a sick person, to which Jade sarcastically inquires if she's just now realizing it. In "Who Did it to Trina?", when Tori calls her demented, Jade takes it as a compliment. |
| 449 | * MakeUpOrBreakUp: This tends to be Jade and Beck's relationship in a nutshell, as Jade dumps him over a small argument in "Jade Dumps Beck". They do make up in the end. [[spoiler:The second time in "The Worst Couple", however...]] |
| 450 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Masculine Girl to Robbie. |
| 451 | * MeaningfulLook: To Tori, from the audience, during Tori's performance in "Tori Goes Platinum". |
| 452 | * MeaningfulName: She's very cynical and '''jade'''d, and is as mean as The Wicked Witch of the '''West.''' (Also, the skin of The Wicked Witch of The West is green, jade happens to be a shade of green.) |
| 453 | * MenstrualMenace: Sorta. Jade gets through "that time of the month" by talking about stuff she hates. |
| 454 | * MsFanservice: She dresses in a lot of sexy outfits. |
| 455 | * NeverMyFault: |
| 456 | ** In "The Worst Couple", when Beck tries to point out her insecurities and how toxic their relationship has become because of it, she twists everything around and puts words in his mouth. |
| 457 | ** In "Wi-Fi in the Sky", she assumes Beck is cheating on her without letting him explain. When the girl that Beck is helping turns out to be a little girl, she asks why he didn't say so, Beck reminds her that she wouldn’t let him. |
| 458 | * NightmareFetishist: "I like to pretend I've been kidnapped by witches and they're using me to make human soup." |
| 459 | * NervesOfSteel: Doesn't flinch easily despite real danger, and can sleep through a war. |
| 460 | * NoIndoorVoice: She finds something to scream about in most episodes. Probably because anger is practically her default emotion. |
| 461 | * NoYou: In "Tori the Zombie" against Sinjin. |
| 462 | -->'''Sinjin:''' Sorry, I hit the wrong thing!\ |
| 463 | '''Jade:''' No, fifteen years ago your mother gave ''birth'' to the wrong thing! |
| 464 | %%* NobleDemon |
| 465 | * NoodleIncident: |
| 466 | ** She is apparently fearful of dolphins due to some undisclosed incident that happened to her in 3rd grade, to the point that she's sworn off going to the beach. It’s not irrational, since dolphins actually are pretty fierce. |
| 467 | ** In "The Bad Roommate", the sub-plot revolves around her trying to delete an online satellite picture of her allegedly picking her nose. |
| 468 | ** "Tori Fixes Beck & Jade" reveals that she's capable of killing two people with just a roll of toilet paper. How that's plausible is up in the air, but Jade and Beck treat her threat very seriously. Tori and Andre ask how that's even plausible, but Beck ignores the question (in a manner that suggests he's seen it happen before). When Jade gets angry again, Andre smartly grabs all the nearby rolls of toilet paper to keep them away from her. |
| 469 | ** On the Slap, she mentions that she locked her annoying cousin in the basement one Thanksgiving and her father called the police on her. |
| 470 | * NotSoStoic: SarcasmMode seems to be her default state of being, but it's showcased in a number of episodes that it isn't her only one. Standout examples include her [[BreakThemByTalking breakdown]] in the pilot, [[EnemyMine begging for Tori's help]] in "Jade Dumps Beck", and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking sweating for the first time]] in "Survival of the Hottest". |
| 471 | * OddCouple: With Tori, in the rare instances where they get along. |
| 472 | * OddFriendship: Jade and Cat. Also with Robbie once in a while during the last season, especially in "Star Spangled Tori", where she shows a previously unseen level of patience towards his antics, and even carpooled with him to Tori's house (as they offer Cat a ride home with them), despite Beck also being there. These examples both double as ActorAllusion. |
| 473 | * OfficialCouple: With Beck. |
| 474 | * OppositesAttract: Again, Beck. |
| 475 | * PaintItBlack: In "The Diddly Bops", she returns Tori's theater history textbook (which she'd borrowed off-screen prior) to her, but it's cover is painted black. Her reason for doing this? "[[ItAmusedMe I had black paint.]]" |
| 476 | * PayingEvilUntoEvil: Some of her more devious moments come across as more justified due to the HateSink nature of some of her targets, most memorably in ''Freak The Freak Out''. |
| 477 | * PetTheDog: Sometimes. |
| 478 | ** She shows a bit of compassion for Tori when she has a breakdown in "Ice Cream for Ke$ha" and she's greatly concerned for Cat when she's worried that her mom's boss will find out about the damage to his things in "Andre's Horrible Girl." |
| 479 | ** She gets bad vibes from Ryder Daniels and warns Tori that he must be hiding something. Of course, [[spoiler:she can't help poking fun when it turns out she was right]]. |
| 480 | ** She was even holding Robbie back from hurting himself to save Rex in "Rex Dies" and was holding Rex's hand in the hospital. She also displayed what appears to be genuine concern for his mental growth in the idea of Rex being gone forever. |
| 481 | ** She also seems to have a soft spot for her grandmother, Sikowitz, little kids and Cat. |
| 482 | ** She tries to talk Robbie out of his funk in "The Hambone King" (until she reveals that she "might have" recorded it and posted it online). |
| 483 | ** She does this in a major way in ''Tori Goes Platinum'' [[spoiler:by giving up her shot at a major performance that could make her famous so that Tori could perform instead.]] |
| 484 | ** On the Slap she mentions that she loves rabbits because they're so adorable and even has one as a pet. |
| 485 | ** On her Slap videos, she is shown to love little kids and acts very sweet to them. |
| 486 | * {{Pride}}: She hates showing vulnerability to people and tries to avoid calling anyone a friend. She only allows herself to cry in front of Tori in "Jade Dumps Beck" because she didn't want anyone she found cool to see her at such a low point. Even when finally making nice([[HazyFeelTurn -r]]) with her rival, she lets her ego get in the way a bit. |
| 487 | * PromWrecker: When her one woman show gets cancelled because it conflicts with the Prom, she tries ruining the Prom for revenge. |
| 488 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Beck's Blue. |
| 489 | * TheRival: To Tori. |
| 490 | * {{Sadist}}: "Cause it makes you miserable, which makes me slightly less miserable." |
| 491 | * ShearMenace: Her scissors obsession may count, as she's constantly seen wielding a pair of scissors, her locker is decorated with them, and her favorite movie is called ''The Scissoring''. That said, we never see her use them in combat (probably because successful weaponization of them would result in the show's rating to change drastically). |
| 492 | * SlidingScaleOfBeauty: Level VI, good-looking but uncanny. She's very attractive, but in an eerie and intimidating way. Somewhat lampshaded when the little boy in ''Ice Cream for Ke$ha'' proposes trading his ice cream $ for a kiss of all three girls and refers to her as "The Freaky One". |
| 493 | * StillBelievesInSanta: Jade is one of the haughtier members of the cast, so revealing she still believes in Santa Claus in her fourth "What I Hate" video makes her more endearing. |
| 494 | * SmugSnake: Anytime she wins, she has a sinister grin. |
| 495 | * SpoiledBrat: Jade has a strong sense of entitlement and will try to eliminate her rivals by all means. She even literally throws a tantrum in "Tori Gets Stuck" after Tori wins an audition. |
| 496 | * StalkerWithoutACrush: In "Tori Gets Stuck". She knows Tori is allergic to bush daisies and that she has o-negative blood because she went through her medical records (which is a felony, BTW). She simply puts it as "doing her research". |
| 497 | ** Debatably this in "The Wood" when she snoops through Tori's bedroom. Tori didn't even know she was there for half an hour. According to her, Tori has a lot of "''things''" in there. |
| 498 | * StepfordSnarker: She clearly has a lot of walls up and everybody she ever talks to feels the brunt of it, often because she's not keen on anyone seeing the damage underneath (see FreudianExcuse above). |
| 499 | -->'''Cat''': You didn't have a happy childhood?\ |
| 500 | '''Jade''': My favorite toy was a hammer. ''You'' finish the puzzle. |
| 501 | * StupidSexyFlanders: She was making suggestive faces at Tori as far back as the pilot episode. Seems she just can't deny when a girl is hot, even when she's put a target on said girl's head. A reasonable and potential explanation in general for why she treats Tori the way she does is that Tori, more than any other girl, brings up feelings she's not ready to deal with. Most of her AmbiguouslyBi moments seem to pertain explicitly to Tori. |
| 502 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: She seems easier for her friends to get along with when she's alone with them. |
| 503 | * TantrumThrowing: When she learns not only that Tori beat her out for the lead role in "Steamboat Suzy", but also that she's stuck as her understudy, she just cannot deal. Gets even worse when [[TheWatson Tori]] unironically asks what an understudy is. |
| 504 | * TattooAsCharacterType: She has 2 tattoos by the end of the series, but only one appears on-screen as early as the first season, a basic nautical star on her right forearm. |
| 505 | * TokenEvilTeammate: In a group of friends that are more-or-less [[NiceGuy nice guys]]/[[NiceGirl girls]] (sans [[SnarkyNonHumanSidekick Rex]] and [[AttentionWhore Trina]]), Jade sticks out like a sore thumb as the harshest member. |
| 506 | * TooKinkyToTorture: By saying, "It was like torture, but not the good kind." in "How Trina Got In" and "Okay, this is actually causing me pain, and not the good kind" in "Ice Cream for Ke$ha", as well as saying she likes to pretend she's captured by witches and being made into human soup while in hot tubs in "iParty With Victorious." |
| 507 | * TookALevelInJerkass: She was one of the more sane people on the show despite her callous tendencies and had some decent depth. She quickly turned into a psychotic and vengeful ManipulativeBastard and has stooped to lows such as stealing a pint of blood that Tori donated just to keep her from performing in the school play, as well as attempting to destroy the first ever Hollywood Arts prom. |
| 508 | * TookALevelInKindness: In Season 3, somewhat. She's still a bitch, but is far less mean than how she was in earlier seasons. |
| 509 | * ToughLove: Tends to show this to her friends at certain points, especially with her suggestion about [[spoiler:what to do with Rex in "Rex Dies" and how it would be more beneficial for Robbie's well-being in the long run]], and pushing an apprehensive Tori off the balcony in "Beck Falls for Tori", thus helping her overcome her fear. |
| 510 | * TranquilFury: Rage seems to be her default emotion. She's prone to outbursts, but she's normally the least upbeat of the girls. |
| 511 | * {{Troll}}: She loves to push Tori's buttons. A great example is "Cat's New Boyfriend". |
| 512 | * TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Can show some rather troubling and sociopathic tendencies at times, moreso in season 2 when she was at her worst. |
| 513 | * {{Tsundere}}: To everybody really but especially Type A to Tori. She's rude and aggressive and seems uncaring. However, when she wants to be, she can be a loyal friend and is capable of showing affection to the people she cares about. |
| 514 | * UndyingLoyalty: No matter how much Cat may get on her nerves, no matter how much Jade pushes Cat around, Jade does care for Cat and she remains her best friend. The episode ''Star Spangled Tori'' cements this when Jade was concerned about Cat's well-being, and even brings up the suggestion that [[Series/SamAndCat Cat should go live with her Nona]] instead of her [[EvilUncle Evil Uncle and Aunt]]. |
| 515 | * UngratefulBitch: When Tori saves her life in ''Locked Up'', she responds that [[BlatantLies she didn't need help]]. |
| 516 | * VitriolicBestBuds: May become this to Tori. On her bad days, she can act this way to Cat. |
| 517 | * VocalEvolution: Her voice was higher-pitched in the pilot. |
| 518 | * WellDoneDaughterGirl: She guns for her father's approval in "Wok Star", to the point of accepting Tori's help in getting some recognition for her craft. Their relationship is still bad, but she got something she's clearly been wanting just for once. |
| 519 | * WhatTheHellHero: To Tori in "Beck's Big Break." |
| 520 | * WithFriendsLikeThese: With ''everyone''. |
| 521 | * WoundedGazelleGambit: In "Stage Fighting." |
| 522 | %%* {{Yandere}}: In her worst moments, she may be this. |

| 528 | [[caption-width-right:350:'' "What's that supposed to mean?" '']] |
| 529 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Music/ArianaGrande |
| 530 | |
| 531 | -->''"Yay, I love excitement!"'' |
| 532 | |
| 533 | A strange girl Tori meets at Hollywood Arts. She is best friends with Jade and Tori, along with being the object of Robbie's affections. Near the end of the show, her parents move to help take care of her insane brother, so she ends up moving in with her grandmother. She meets Sam at the time ''Series/SamAndCat'' starts and when her grandmother chooses to move into a retirement home, she and Sam become room-mates and they start a babysitting business together to help pay for their rent. |
| 534 | ---- |
| 535 | * AbandonedCatchphrase: Cat tends to yell "What's that supposed to mean?" whenever she misunderstood someone's comment. By the middle of season one, she has stop using this phrase. |
| 536 | * AddledAddict: She finds herself addicted to something in at least two episodes, to the point where they're the only things she can focus on most of the time. In "Robarazzi", it's shopping from theSky Store. In "Tori Goes Platinum", it's a children's candy called Bibble. |
| 537 | * AdvertisedExtra: Despite having a big role in the ''iParty with Victorious'' crossover, she has very few lines throughout due to suffering from vocal nodules, thus most of her dialogue came out of the speaker headband she wears. |
| 538 | %%* AttentionDeficitOohShiny |
| 539 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: The shortest, youngest and most childish of the group. Jade and Tori have behaved as parental figures for her more than once and Beck acts like a CoolBigBro to her. |
| 540 | * BadassAdorable: In "The Gorilla Club", where she completes the Balls of Pain challenge with ease. |
| 541 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: More so than Tori and Beck; she punched Tori in the nose so hard, it felt like being broken (it wasn't), had Hayley and Tara babysit a drugged-up, crazy Trina, and coldly points their severe lack of talent when they cheer about their rigged karaoke victory: |
| 542 | -->'''Hayley:''' We won, because we rock.\ |
| 543 | '''Cat:''' Yeah, don't believe everything your daddy says. |
| 544 | * BirdsOfAFeather: With Robbie. |
| 545 | * BrainlessBeauty: A bit less overt than most given it's a Nickelodeon show but she definitely has elements of this. |
| 546 | * BreakoutCharacter: Segued into [[Series/SamAndCat her own (shared) show]] once ''Victorious'' was canceled, and her actress is easily the biggest star Nick has created in a long time. |
| 547 | * BreathlessNonSequitur: Occasionally. She talks about her brother getting ''shot by a clown'', for example. |
| 548 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: In a way. A little bit odd and excitable but her musical talent is extremely noticeable. |
| 549 | * ButtMonkey: She gets victimized for her ditziness at times. |
| 550 | * CatchPhrase: |
| 551 | ** "Hiiiii!", her usual greeting when meeting up with someone or calling them. |
| 552 | ** "What's ''that'' supposed to mean?!" in an anguished voice and usually to a completely innocent statement by the other person. Became an AbandonedCatchphrase after season 1. |
| 553 | ** "Yay, I love X!" or just "Yay, X!" in an excited voice when an action or object is suggested/discussed. |
| 554 | ** "One time...", followed by a story about something crazy or weird she or her brother did. |
| 555 | * CassandraTruth: Cat tells Robbie she can't go to Prom with him because she has a date, who happens to be from another school. Robbie doesn't believe her, but it turns out he does indeed exist. |
| 556 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: As the series went on, her bipolarism and catch phrase "What's ''that'' supposed to mean?!" were eventually [[AbandonedCatchphrase abandoned]] in favor of her becoming an extremely childish ditz. By ''Series/SamAndCat'', she's pretty much the KidAppealCharacter. |
| 557 | * ChekhovsSkill: Cat's costume class helps save the day in "Beck Falls For Tori". |
| 558 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She's on her own level of reality, the degree of effectiveness in a given situation often varying. {{Lampshaded}} by Andre. |
| 559 | -->'''Andre:''' You know, whenever she starts talking, I think to myself, "Maybe this time, it'll make sense." I'm always wrong. |
| 560 | * TheCuckoolanderWasRight: In "Prom Wrecker" when a random boy named Tug asks her to the prom, and again in "The Blonde Squad" when her worries about Evan Smith not liking her real self turned out to be true after all. |
| 561 | * {{Cuckoosnarker}}: She's nowhere near as snide as her friends, but she does let slip a quip now and then. |
| 562 | -->'''Cat:''' But why does me eating bush peas help?\ |
| 563 | '''Jade:''' Because it makes you miserable, which makes me slightly ''less'' miserable.\ |
| 564 | '''Cat:''' [[DisproportionateRetribution Your logic is flawless.]] |
| 565 | * ColorMotif: She's clearly fond of the colors red and pink. Red stands for her passion, strength, and courage. Pink symbolizes her femininity, compassion, love, playfulness, comfort, intuitiveness, immaturity, and a lack of confidence. |
| 566 | * CuteBruiser: Cat is undeniably cute, yet she managed to almost break Tori's nose in one punch. |
| 567 | * TheCutie: Cat is cuteness in human form. Just try not to go "Awwww" one or twenty times an episode upon seeing her. You can't, can you? |
| 568 | * TheDitz: She's a few crayons short of a full box. See {{Flanderization}} for more detail. |
| 569 | * EasilyImpressed: Not unlike a child, Cat gets very interested by things that are seen as quite trivial by her friends. This is best shown when she buys off-kilter apps or invests money in strange toys, clothing, or appliances. |
| 570 | * EtTuBrute: She's absolutely crushed upon seeing Tori and Danny kissing in "Cat's New Boyfriend". She goes at least a whole day avoiding Tori after this. |
| 571 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Even ''she'' finds her brother to be unusual. |
| 572 | * {{Flanderization}}: She started as somewhat scatterbrained and a bit naïve, but not really that stupid. Come Season 2, she became increasingly dumber and unable to pay attention to anything, with her behavior and antics sometimes outright crossing into LethallyStupid and/or TooDumbToLive territory. This continued into the ''Series/SamAndCat'' SpinOff. |
| 573 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Sanguine. |
| 574 | * GeniusDitz: |
| 575 | ** She's memorized the location of every animal hospital in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood. |
| 576 | ** In ''Three Girls and a Moose,'' she shows that she's very observant and good at putting clues together. She knew that Tori had Moose over at her house by noticing a few clues: |
| 577 | --->'''Tori:''' How did you know Moose was still here?\ |
| 578 | '''Cat:''' It was ''obvious.'' When you're home alone, you usually wear your glasses, which you are ''not,'' and this ''(picks up beef jerky packet)'' is beef jerky, a boy snack.\ |
| 579 | '''Tori:''' Aw, dang it!\ |
| 580 | '''Cat:''' ''And'' I also noticed the extra large dent in that couch's cushion that's the same size and shape as Moose's tush! |
| 581 | * GenkiGirl: Courtesy of Music/ArianaGrande. |
| 582 | * GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Often brings stuffed animals to school, especially Mr. Purple and Mr. Porkstache. Also continued in Sam & Cat. |
| 583 | * HairTriggerTemper: In the first season, especially, she's easily upset and very bipolar. |
| 584 | -->'''Cat:''' What's ''that'' supposed to mean?! |
| 585 | * HandGagging: Gets handgagged by Jade in "Opposite Date" for a whole minute. |
| 586 | * HiddenDepths: Cat is an expert chef, anything she makes is considerably delicious. Justified because her grandmother taught her how to cook and passed along the family recipes to Cat. |
| 587 | * TheHeart: Cat is the one thing who can get the group to stop fighting when they see her crying. |
| 588 | * IdiotSavant: While {{Flanderization}} made her appear considerably dumber as the show went on, she still has some moments of unexpected genius, particularly her ability to accurately guess people's exact clothes measurements just by looking at them in "Beck Falls for Tori", and her brilliant deduction of why Moose was actually with Tori at her house in "Three Girls and a Moose". |
| 589 | * InOneEarOutTheOther: In "Tori Fixes Beck and Jade" she got a butterfly lodged in her ear. Later after Robbie employed Andre's grandmother to scare it out (by yelling into Cat's ear) the butterfly made a hasty exit... out the ''opposite'' ear. |
| 590 | * InSeriesNickname: "Little Red" by Andre. |
| 591 | * KiddieKid: She started off being somewhat childish but got flanderized into this trope. |
| 592 | * TheMadHatter: She has moments that demonstrate she's perfectly aware that she's not all there. |
| 593 | -->'''To Robbie's Grandmother:''' My hair color has ''nothing'' to do with my psychological problems! |
| 594 | * MeaningfulName: Her last name is Valentine and Cat is a cheerful, friendly girl. |
| 595 | * MoodSwinger: In the first season. |
| 596 | * MoralityPet: Seems to play this alongside Beck for Jade. |
| 597 | * MsFanservice: All the girls do their share from time to time but she gets the most, witness "Survival of the Hottest". |
| 598 | * NiceGirl: Her default mood is being giggly and sweet toward everyone, even Trina and Jade. |
| 599 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Poor girl was attacked by Jade in "Crazy Ponnie". |
| 600 | * OddFriendship: She and Jade (it also counts as ActorAllusion). Her friendship with Trina also counts. |
| 601 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Her full first name is Caterina, but only her grandmother calls her that. |
| 602 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: She's usually up for a hug any time. But when her crush, Evan, refuses to date her after finding out she's not a blue-eyed blonde, she's not up for any hugs. |
| 603 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: She's the smallest teenager on the show and, according to Andre, she only weighs "90 lbs." But believe it or not, Cat is pretty strong for her tiny size. In ''Cell Block'', the teenagers are challenged not to use cellphones/tablets/etc. for a whole week, so naturally they all start going a little insane soon. Not even two days into the contest, she makes a mad dash for the box of phones... in the ensuing struggle to hold her back, she kicks Jade to the floor, clobbers Beck with the box, and it basically takes ''all five of them'' to pin her down. Later in the same episode, Tori and Jade try to restrain her by sitting on her and only barely manage to succeed. |
| 604 | * PottyEmergency: Cat in Stuck in an RV, "gotta-pee gotta-pee gotta-pee!" |
| 605 | * TheQuietOne: Throughout most of "iParty with Victorious" due to suffering from vocal nodules, thus relying on a speaker headband via Bluetooth to do all the talking for her until she heals. |
| 606 | * SuddenlyShouting: In "Tori Fixes Beck and Jade", a butterfly gets stuck in her ear and its fluttering make Cat intermittently scream bloody murder. |
| 607 | * SurvivalMantra: In "The Worst Couple", she finds herself in the middle of a panic attack, during which she says aloud thrice "I'm under my bed". |
| 608 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: |
| 609 | ** "We were not watching you kiss that girl." |
| 610 | ** "We didn't even notice your lack of hair." |
| 611 | * SweetTooth: The girl keeps candy in her ''bra''. |
| 612 | * TheTease: Completely good-natured, but Cat is known to flirt quite a bit with boys. |
| 613 | * TookALevelInBadass: In "The Gorilla Club". |
| 614 | * TookALevelInDumbass: She goes from being somewhat scatterbrained in the early parts of Season 1 to a girl who is apparently intelligent enough to just realize that America has 50 states from an app. |
| 615 | * TraumaButton: As we see in "The Worst Couple". Safe to say she doesn't take too well to watching her loved ones fight with each other. |
| 616 | ** Whatever Robbie did when they "played pirates" in the past. |
| 617 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Jade and Robbie. |
| 618 | * VerbalTic: Her dopey yet cute laugh. |
| 619 | * VictoriasSecretCompartment: She kept various sweets stuffed in her bra in one episode. She pulled out so much candy, it makes you wonder if there are even any titties under there. |
| 620 | * VocalEvolution: It's hard to pinpoint exactly when the change happened, because in some episodes, her voice is high-pitched and childlike, and in other episodes, it drops back down to Ariana's normal voice, but her voice became a higher-pitched SimpletonVoice towards the end of the series. |
| 621 | * WoundedGazelleGambit: In "Beck's Big Break", she pretends to be frantically lost to distract a security guard so Tori can get Beck his part back in a movie. |

| 626 | ->'''Portrayed by''': Creator/AvanJogia |
| 627 | |
| 628 | Jade's boyfriend, whom Tori spilled coffee on during her first day. He is also arguably the most stable one out of the group. |
| 629 | ---- |
| 630 | * AlmostKiss: [[spoiler:On Tori, but she refuses because she doesn't want to hurt Jade's feelings.]] |
| 631 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: We just know that Beck is part Canadian. His actor Avan Jogia is a Canadian-born actor of Indian descent. |
| 632 | * AmbiguouslyBi: Has a clear interest in girls but also once referred to a male costume designer as "adorable", though admittedly that might have just been to get a rise out of a jealous Jade. |
| 633 | * AutoErotica: Beck tried for this, but Jade wasn't in the mood. Probably for the best, seeing how there was a guy with a camera in the backseat. |
| 634 | * BaseOnWheels: Beck's trailer. |
| 635 | * BelligerentSexualTension: Only to be expected at times when your girlfriend is [[AlphaBitch Jade]] [[{{Jerkass}} West]]. |
| 636 | * BettyAndVeronica: the Archie to Jade and Tori's Betty and Veronica. |
| 637 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He's not very pretty when pissed off, as seen in "Tori Tortures Teacher", when Tori and Andre intervene in the text-fight between him and Jade. [[OutOfCharacterMoment It was kinda out of his character, though.]] He's also not very nice when he's sleep deprived and running on caffeine. "The Worst Couple" has Jade mentioning something about smashing her face into a car door or something of the sort, while insulting and during her grouchy moments with Beck. Beck reminds her of the fact that he has a car. Jade, of course, is offended. |
| 638 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Whenever Cat is in trouble or trying to make Robbie cool. |
| 639 | * BigManOnCampus: Beck is very popular and attracts all the girls at his school. |
| 640 | * BrainlessBeauty: He's not quite an idiot, but in "Survival of the Hottest", it's revealed that he didn't know he's supposed to clean the water in his fish tank. |
| 641 | * TheCasanova: Downplayed example. Commited to Jade during their romance, but there's signs he's definitely... open-minded, especially during the pilot and ''Driving Tori Crazy'' and as it's increasingly clear he really likes Tori more than just as a platonic friend. Plays this more straight after him and Jade's [[spoiler:second breakup]]. |
| 642 | * CharacterDevelopment: He was pretty generic when the show started, but became more fleshed out in ''Robarazzi''. |
| 643 | %%* CharacterTic: He tends to run his hand through his hair a lot. |
| 644 | * ChickMagnet: He's popular with his female classmates and even young adult women, which annoys Jade to no end. |
| 645 | * TheComicallySerious: He is very relaxed even when surrounded by craziness. |
| 646 | %%* ConspiracyTheorist |
| 647 | * CoolBigBro: Acts like one to Cat a lot of the time. |
| 648 | * DatingWhatDaddyHates: An interesting gender swap for this trope, as some of the appeal to dating Jade seems to stem from his mild rebellious side as it's made clear in "Locked Up" that his family absolutely despises her. |
| 649 | * DeadpanSnarker: He has his moments of dry wit. |
| 650 | * EvenTheGuysWantHim: At least when he's in drag. |
| 651 | * EveryoneHasStandards: A retroactive example: "Tori Fixes Beck And Jades" shows that he likes girls who actually has to put an effort in to make happy, but "The Worst Couple" shows that he knows the difference between difficult and flat out impossible. |
| 652 | * FearlessFool: He's apparently never felt fear. |
| 653 | * {{Flanderization}}: |
| 654 | ** Seems to have become a bit of a jerk since he and Jade broke up. He gets better when they get back together. |
| 655 | ** Seemed to be going back to the role of SatelliteLoveInterest by season 3, as all 'his' subplots purely involved relationship drama with Jade and ship tease with other girls. |
| 656 | * TheGenericGuy: Definitely not without characterization, but gets considerably less time to shine than the rest of the cast and rarely has any significant role in an episode that isn't primarily about Jade or Tori (or both). |
| 657 | * GreaseMonkey: He is an apt mechanic and a fan of drag races. |
| 658 | * HasAType: Discovers that he prefers girls who are harder to love because they're more exciting. |
| 659 | * HiddenDepths: The junk in his trailer raises a lot of questions. |
| 660 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Andre. |
| 661 | * ItAmusedMe: In a way, Beck seems to be greatly amused by Jade’s possessiveness and jealousy and sometimes goes as far as to induce it a bit in a slight [[TheTrickster Trickster]] way. |
| 662 | * TheLeader: He’s the oldest and the leader of the gang. |
| 663 | * MakeUpOrBreakUp: This tends to be Jade and Beck's relationship in a nutshell, as Jade dumps him over a small argument in "Jade Dumps Beck". They do make in the end. [[spoiler:he second time in "The Worst Couple", however...]] |
| 664 | * MellowFellow: Beck earns this title by being the least eccentric member of the main group and not having all that much depth in the way of personality. |
| 665 | * MoralityChain: Seems to be this to Jade, as he often tries to stop her from doing more awful things and when he went to Canada for a few episodes she got a good bit worse in the meantime, only returning to normal when he came back. |
| 666 | %%* MrFanservice: A shining example. |
| 667 | * NiceGuy: More interesting than usual, but he still fits. |
| 668 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Believe it or not, there are times when Beck can be just as dorky as Andre or Robbie. |
| 669 | * OnlySaneMan: One of the most normal and rational of all the characters in show along with Andre. |
| 670 | * OfficialCouple: With Jade. |
| 671 | * OppositesAttract: Again, with Jade. |
| 672 | * ParentingTheHusband: He gives Jade a time-out when she keeps insulting Tori after finding out about Ryder. |
| 673 | * PrettyBoy: As anyone would be if being played by the dashing Avan Jogia. "Slap Fight" even raises the question of whether or not Jade is prettier than him. |
| 674 | * RedOniBlueOni: He's the Blue to Jade's Red. |
| 675 | * SatelliteCharacter: Early on in the show, then he got more characterization. |
| 676 | * ShirtlessScene: In "Brain Squeezers", but done as [[spoiler:FanDisservice considering what all the kids went through]]. |
| 677 | * ShowSomeLeg: Gets to weaponize it to create a distraction in "Star Spangled Tori". |
| 678 | * ShutUpKiss: Beck on Jade when she's saying sorry. |
| 679 | * SlidingScaleOfBeauty: Level II, Divine Level Beauty. Pretty much the real-life Axe commercial, as seen in ''Driving Tori Crazy'' women literally fawn over him in packs, and even Adult Women can't resist hitting on him. |
| 680 | * TheStoic: Beck shows very little emotion and is rarely afraid of anything. When surrounded by a group of prisoners, while Andre is freaking out, Beck simply stands there and keeps his cool. Sikowitz even spends an entire episode trying to scare him but fails. The one thing that can break his stoicism apparently is Trina. |
| 681 | * StraightMan: Usually to Jade, though he had played it to other characters as well. Except for that little quirk about not drinking bottled water from mountain streams because fish urinate in it. |
| 682 | * StunnedSilence: Beck's reaction in “Freak The Freak Out” when he hears Tara and Hayley sing. In this case, he is actually shocked by how bad they are compared to Cat and Jade. |
| 683 | * TallDarkAndHandsome: He is the tallest kid in the main cast and quite a handsome one at that. |
| 684 | * UnwantedHarem: Inverted. He has no problems with random girls popping up at his doorstep and asking for rides to school. Though this was during his second and more long-term breakup with Jade so he might have been enjoying the freedom he suddenly had. |

| 688 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/debdd359_86d6_45e2_898d_3cb7ce431729.jpeg]] |
| 689 | ->'''Portrayed by''': Creator/DaniellaMonet |
| 690 | |
| 691 | Tori's older sister, whom everyone hates because of her annoying personality and her lack of talent. Trina is often self-centered, but genuinely loves her little sister. |
| 692 | ---- |
| 693 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Towards Beck when he breaks up with Jade. |
| 694 | * ActionGirl: This seems to be what Trina actually does best, as she appears to make up in physical strength, agility and fighting skill, even when drugged up to the gills (Freak The Freak Out) what she lacks in singing ability. Her uniform, which was blue with a yellow belt, is actually a Vovinam Gi, not a Karate Gi. Also, unlike Karate, a yellow belt is the equivalent of a black belt; ''Trina Vega of all people is a highly skilled martial artist.'' |
| 695 | * ACupAngst: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]] in "Tori the Zombie". While on the phone with a doctor, discussing Tori's problem, Trina asks if she needs her parents' permission to get minor cosmetic surgery. After hanging up, Trina laments that she can't get the surgery until she's eighteen, and glances down to her boobs momentarily. This would be ironic, considering how often the show comments about how busty she is. |
| 696 | * AttentionWhore: '''BIG TIME'''. She does whatever she can to get in the spotlight, even if it means backstabbing '''anyone''', including her sister. |
| 697 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: With Tori, the most significant moment being the end of "Helen Back Again". |
| 698 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In "Survival of the Hottest", she always wished that she would get hotter. |
| 699 | * BigSisterBully: She's very rude to Tori sometimes, even when the latter tries to be nice to her. She's at her worst in "The Birthweek Song", where Tori sings a song about how much she loves her sister, but Trina insults the song because it's not a real present, and the next day she sells the song to a recording studio for cash. |
| 700 | * BigSisterInstinct: She did not take it well when Tori was locked up in prison. She's also shown it at other times to, such as warning Tori about [[ManipulativeBastard Ryder]]. She does seem to genuinely care about Tori when someone ''else'' is the one hurting her. |
| 701 | * BoobBasedGag: |
| 702 | ** [[BrickJoke "How did Jade get her boobs in this hamburger?"]] |
| 703 | ** Referenced again in "Wanko's Warehouse". Tori asks who is the flattest of the group, and thus the best person to try to slide under the lasers. Jade and Trina give each other looks and both take a step backwards. |
| 704 | * BoundAndGagged: "Freak The Freak Out". Tori did this to her just to get a moment of rest. |
| 705 | * BrattyTeenageDaughter: In contrast to level-headed NiceGirl Tori, Trina just serves as her selfish, bratty, annoying older sister. |
| 706 | * BrilliantButLazy: Trina actually ''can'' sing, but chooses not to practice because she thinks she’s too good for it. |
| 707 | * ButtMonkey: She tends to be the butt of many jokes and receive a bunch of crap from everyone, since most people seem to dislike her. Not even her own family wants anything to do with her. |
| 708 | * CantTakeCriticism: She threatened Robbie into writing a good review of her one woman show. Robbie however couldn't lie so he tried to spin it as a comedy. Trina was less then pleased naturally, though ironically it did bring in an audience. |
| 709 | * CloudCuckoolander: Aside from her narcissistic ItsAllAboutMe tendencies, she does some weird things, like ordering illegal fish from Japan to clean dead skin off her feet, tries to hold Tori to a promise to be her assistant for a month that they both made when they were kids, and buying a Christmas tree so huge that she needs a harness to decorate it to put in their family's living room. |
| 710 | * ColorMotif: She seems to fit under purple like her sister. However, her use of the color reflects immaturity, grace ([[StrawLoser occasionally]]), emotion, and power. |
| 711 | * CombatStilettos: Though this is what she wears most of the time, she never wore them in combat, as in "Helen Back Again", she's shown wearing sneakers for the first time upon attacking Robbie. However, concerning her heels, Cat states that Trina can walk in them very gracefully even though they're too tall. |
| 712 | * CoolBigSis: Though only on good days. However, it's clear that she genuinely loves her sister. |
| 713 | * DanceBattler: Played with: she's a skilled dancer and martial artist, but both of these skills were performed separately in different episodes, and had never been incorporated together. |
| 714 | * DemotedToExtra: Later episodes seem to treat Trina more like a side character than a main character. |
| 715 | * TheDeterminator: Despite having no real friends and receiving no real support from anyone besides Tori, Trina refuses to give up on her dreams of making it big in Hollywood. Anyone who would risk getting sick to learn how to play a girl with TB or risk getting run over to speak with a music producer may warrant an F for self-preservation, but certainly an A for dedication. |
| 716 | * DisappointingOlderSibling: Her younger sister and her friends find her extremely annoying. One of Jade's catchphrases is "No one likes you!" |
| 717 | * DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm: In ''Locked Up''. |
| 718 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: Even does [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking yoga and shaves while driving. Oh, and speeds.]] |
| 719 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Foolish to Tori's Responsible. |
| 720 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Choleric. |
| 721 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Tori's friends generally only associate with Trina because she's her sister. Jade states it outright in "Stuck in an RV" and again in "Terror on Cupcake Street" and "The Worst Couple." Notable that no one, not even Tori, defends her. Mostly Type 2 whenever she tags along with Tori's group. Nowadays, they seem to tolerate her. |
| 722 | * GiftedlyBad: How she got to be a student at the Hollywood School of Arts is anybody's guess - she can't sing, she can't dance, she can't act. In fact, there is a second season episode wherein almost all the other main characters [[LampshadeHanging discuss how she could've possibly been accepted in the first place]]. Even one of the teachers who was on the select committee isn't sure... [[spoiler:It's revealed via FlashBack that he was undergoing a MushroomSamba at the time, and thought his own psychedelic hallucinations were a part of her audition.]] |
| 723 | * GirlyBruiser: According to "Freak The Freak Out" and "Andre's Horrible Girl", she knows some stealth techniques as well. |
| 724 | * GloryHound: She will do whatever it takes to be in the spotlight including stalking and stealing from celebrities. She explains on the Slap that she loves making people happy and seeks to do so by entertaining them (i.e., putting herself in front of them). |
| 725 | * GoodIsNotNice: She truly is a well-intentioned person, but is too obnoxious, selfish, and irritating for it be acknowledged most of the time. |
| 726 | * TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: For all the flack Trina gets, it's really because of her that a lot of the positive things happen in the show. To name a few things, Tori never would've gotten into Hollywood Arts, the gang would've remained banned from Karaoke Dokie, "Well Wishes" (Jade's play in "Wok Star") would've failed, Ryder Daniels might not have been put on blast for the ManipulativeBastard he is, and Robbie probably would've died as of "Tori Gets Stuck", if not for her interference. Whether anyone realizes it or not, she is crucial. |
| 727 | * HandicappedBadass: Even when drugged up to the gills (Freak The Freak Out), she's still capable of fighting (and winning against) 3 people at once. |
| 728 | * HollywoodToneDeaf: To drive the point home, she does most of the back-up vocals for Tori's songs. According to Tori on The Slap, Trina can actually sing. It's been implied that the problem isn't so much she ''can't'' sing, but that she believes she's so talented, she doesn't need to practice doing it. |
| 729 | * HypocriticalHeartwarming: She's done some mean things to Tori herself, but on several occasions, most notably with Ryder and when Tori is arrested, she's shown to genuinely care about Tori when someone ''else'' is being mean to her. |
| 730 | * HypocriticalHumor: "You have to be more careful with people's feelings." (Before turning and yelling at the annoying kid behind her for kicking her seat.) |
| 731 | * ICallHimMrHappy: Trina refers to her boobs as "the girls". |
| 732 | * IJustWantToBeSpecial: She truly believes that stardom is her destiny. |
| 733 | * IllKillYou: Trina to Robbie, upon calling her show a comedy. |
| 734 | * ImplausibleDeniability: Trina early in "Freak the Freak Out". |
| 735 | * InTheBack: Has taken out two characters from behind through the show (Hayley in "Freak The Freak Out", when Trina appears from behind the couch and grabs her from behind before taking her to the floor. The second time (Andre's Horrible Girl) was when she sneaked into Hope's party by knocking out a hostess and stealing her uniform via wrapping her arms around her neck and simply dropped her body. |
| 736 | * InformedFlaw: She's said to be untalented multiple times, but she's shown repeatedly to be skilled in martial arts, dancing, cosmetics, acting, and even rapping. In addition, because she goes to Hollywood Arts, it can be guessed that she knows an instrument, since that's a requirement of all students. Also, her sister has mentioned on the Slap that she does have the potential to be a great singer. |
| 737 | * {{Main/Irony}}: Clearly into singing and performing less out of doing it for artistic principle but because of the hope that it will bring her fame, but what she's really good at (fighting/martial arts) has exploded into populariy with MMA/UFC... but she still only sees it as a hobby and not a career pursuit. |
| 738 | * ItsAllAboutMe: She gives herself a birth''week'' instead of a birthday. |
| 739 | * IRejectYourReality: Trina is utterly convinced that she's the most popular, talented, and beautiful girl on campus, and no amount of evidence to the contrary can convince her otherwise. |
| 740 | * JerkassHasAPoint: |
| 741 | ** In ''Ice Cream for Ke$ha'', Andre and Cat agree with Trina that Tori should keep her childhood bet if she didn't marry a prince. |
| 742 | ** When concerning Tori "dating" Ryder Daniels, Trina warns her to be careful to date someone she's just met, as most of the girls she knows have "dated" him before and dumped them with no warning. She turns out to be right when Tori learns Ryder has been using girls to get himself good grades. |
| 743 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her flaws, she actually loves her sister and she's shown several times to care for the rest of the main gang as well as total strangers. |
| 744 | * KickChick: Subverted. She is seen using kicks more than punches whenever she's shown fighting, but she does use her fists. |
| 745 | * LackOfEmpathy: A few instances of this, PlayedForLaughs [[ComedicSociopathy as you might expect]]. |
| 746 | ** This line from "Tori and Jade's Playdate." |
| 747 | --->'''Trina:''' I don't have time to hear about your pain, Grandma! |
| 748 | ** In the episode "Jade Dumps Beck" she appears atop a podium attempting to announce to the school news of her upcoming performance from her "One Woman Show". In the process, she accidentally drops a heavy box of fliers onto a passing student, possibly concussing him. Her response? |
| 749 | --->'''Trina:''' Could you pass those out?" |
| 750 | ** Another instance comes from the same episode. She and Tori appear to be playing some form of Wii Tennis. In an attempt to return the ball, she winds up knocking Tori over with her controller and whines: |
| 751 | --->'''Trina:''' Tori! You messed up my shot! |
| 752 | * LameComeback: "Why don't you [Blank] my butt!" |
| 753 | * LargeHam: Clearly a firm believer that bigger is better, she makes everyone seem subdued by comparison. Just look at her debut scene. |
| 754 | -->'''Trina:''' [[IncomingHam I am so upset!!]] |
| 755 | * LethalChef: Not that anyone has eaten her cooking, but she didn't know how to cook a turkey and decided to shove it into the microwave. Justified, seeing her father didn't want to help her. |
| 756 | * LetsGetDangerous: In "Helen Back Again", and "Freak The Freak Out". |
| 757 | * MeaningfulName: "Trina" is Scandinavian for "pure". Like her sister, her last name is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra, fitting for someone who wants to become a famous singer. |
| 758 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In "Car, Rain, & Fire", she starts a rumor that she's dating Beck to get boys to compete for her attention (without getting Beck's approval in advance). What she didn't see coming was him, Andre, and Robbie, three guys she knows and cares about, to start fighting over her. |
| 759 | * {{Narcissist}}: Trina does have a vain and narcissistic ego, and is easily the most selfish character on the show. She wants to [[HiddenHeartOfGold make people happy]] by putting herself in front of them for entertainment. |
| 760 | * NeverMyFault: In one episode where most of the main cast (except for Cat) gets trapped in an RV, Trina complains that she didn't even know why the others invited her. In the first few minutes of the episode it's clearly shown that she invites herself along. The others call her out on this, Jade says "No one likes you!" after everyone's done talking. |
| 761 | * ObliviousToHatred: As a result of her narcissism and attitude towards others, no one likes Trina one bit, not even her own parents. Because of her ego however, Trina doesn't realize this and thinks she is the most popular girl in school and thinks everyone loves her. Only Tori seems to care for her but even she has her limits. She's also seen getting along with Cat sometimes, but then again Cat doesn't hate anyone. |
| 762 | * OddFriendship: With Cat. |
| 763 | * ParodyRetcon: Trina's one-woman show is an In-Universe example. |
| 764 | * PetTheDog: There are moments when Trina is shown to be less selfish than she appears to be. Instances such as Trina setting the solvent for Tori's face, warning her about Ryder, and being outraged about her being in prison shows a lot of CharacterDevelopment for her. |
| 765 | * PlasticBitch: Trina (a diva who thinks she's better than everyone) once expresses interest in getting cosmetic surgery. Given it's a kid's show, it's not stated what surgery she wants, but she is shown briefly looking down at her breasts. Unlike most examples of this trope, Trina doesn't seem to have the approval of her parents to get the procedure, as she mentions she has to wait until she's eighteen. This is likely due to her status as TheUnfavorite in her family. |
| 766 | * PlotAllergy: I, the Pilot, she takes an herb to help her singing voice for the big showcase, but it sparks an allergic reaction that dangerously swells her tongue, forcing Tori to take her spot. |
| 767 | * PottyEmergency: Trina apparently had a really bad one when she was six, due to a bladder infection. Poor shopping mall Santa. |
| 768 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Tori's Blue. |
| 769 | * SiblingYinYang: With Tori. |
| 770 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Despite being untalented, annoying, unpopular, and universally hated by everyone around her, she's a {{Narcissist}} who believes to be better than everyone else. |
| 771 | * SpicyLatina: While her sister Tori is more passive, Trina definitely has the attitude. |
| 772 | * SpoiledBrat: She's always trying to promote herself, she thinks she deserves a week to celebrate her birthday, and refuses to accept Tori's song as a present since it didn't cost any money. |
| 773 | * StalkerWithoutACrush: If Trina doesn't get what she wants, hide. |
| 774 | * StrawLoser: Seems to exist solely to make Tori look better at times. |
| 775 | * ThrowTheDogABone: Averted in "How Trina Got In". |
| 776 | * TokenEvilTeammate: A different kind than Jade. |
| 777 | * TooDesperateToBePicky; She is absolutely desperate to be famous, and when her sister, or one of her sisters friends, do anything that involves getting attention, performing, or other famous people, she's find a way to tag along, only to get pushed away in the end. |
| 778 | * TooDumbToLive: In "Tori Gets Stuck", Trina is convinced by Sikowitz to make her fake cough for a play to sound more like a patient with tuberculosis. When the gang visits Robbie at the hospital, Trina enters an isolation room and came in close contact with a TB patient to learn how his cough sounds like. Naturally, she ended up getting infected with a life-threatening disease. |
| 779 | * TookALevelInBadass: In "Freak The Freak Out" and "Helen Back Again", where Creator/DaniellaMonet's talents are displayed. Trina, herself as well, as she fends off Beck, Andre, ''and'' Robbie (Freak The Freak Out), whom she uses her martial arts upon (Helen Back Again). |
| 780 | * TheUnfavorite: Shows some shades of this. Such as her parents going on vacation after she gets her wisdom teeth taken out to avoid having to take care of her and demanding that she goes with Tori and her friends to Yerba as a condition to allowing them to go. The latter example was at least justified in the fact that just earlier, Trina had thrown a golf club at her father's face (or rather, she threw a golf club and his face happened to be in the way) |
| 781 | * UndyingLoyalty: Downplayed. She's a narcissist and she's not above screwing over her sister in petty situations, but when Tori's wellbeing is compromised, you can bet she'll drop everything and focus squarely on that. |
| 782 | * UngratefulBitch: "So where's my present?" This is not something you say to your sister who performed a song dedicated to you. |
| 783 | * YankTheDogsChain: "Helen Back Again" was her second [[ADayInTheLimeLight day in the spotlight]] and other than "Freak The Freak Out", until the episode after has her in the hospital because her harness was slashed during a play. Just as it couldn't get any worse, as Trina falls ''hard'' and ''crashes'' through the table after flailing around in the air, [[KickTheDog the stage wall collapses on her.]] |
