Trina Vega (Victorious)

"And…I think you were really good in the big showcase." - Trina showing she does love her sister when she praises Tori for her performance.

Trina Vega is one of the eight main characters in the series, Victorious, and Tori Vega's older sister. Trina is one year older than Tori and is in the senior class at Hollywood Arts.

Trina acts like she is the most talented person at Hollywood Arts, despite everyone (even her parents) agreeing that she is completely talentless to the point where students have questioned how she even got accepted into the school in the first place, with this being the subject of the episode How Trina Got In. Other characters largely view Trina as insufferable and annoying due to her huge ego.

Trina is portrayed by Daniella Monet.

Why She Rocks

 * 1) While Tori is shown as the better talented sister, Trina is generally more charming and likable, due to having more personality.
 * 2) Unlike Tori, who has a flawed personality of sometimes being a nice girl and sometimes being rude and self-absorbed, Trina's personality stays consistent, where she is portrayed as narcissistic, rude, and desperate for fame.
 * 3) Trina's bad traits could stem from poor parenting from her awful parents, which is what she shares with her younger sister.
 * 4) Trina has many hilarious moments from her show, like her bad acting and singing which led to her play being seen as a comedy, and when she argues with Andre's hilarious grandma.
 * 5) While Trina is bad at singing, she does have some talent, as seen when she is very good at Karate.
 * 6) * There are times where Trina does sing decently, but only when she is singing in a group.
 * 7) Unlike Tori, Trina normally has good intentions, and she’s normally not trying to do bad things on purpose. She’s normally seen as the most good of the Vega family, with her sister being a close second.
 * 8) Trina is not completely bad, as she does have a softer side, showing care and concern for her friends like Cat, and her frenemies, like Andre, Robbie, and Beck. She also cares about her family very much, including her parents despite how badly they treat her, and especially Tori, who she is the closest to.
 * 9) There are times where Trina has a right to be mad, like the times where Jade treats Tori badly, which could be why Jade is her enemy, as Trina shows us, nobody messes with her younger sister. Another reason is when Ryder was using Tori to get a good grade, and thanks to her advice, Tori's friends were able to find out the truth and reveal it to a heartbroken Tori.
 * 10) The sister relationship between her and Tori is good, with Tori's more sensible and down-to-earth personality playing off of her narcissistic, rude, and desperate for fame attitude.
 * 11) * Trina is also normally one of Tori's few positive guidances in her life, helping Tori learn the error of her ways, which helped Tori slightly change for the better since season 3, where she becomes more likable and less annoying.
 * 12) * The sisters also love each other very much. Despite their many arguments, which are mostly understandable since Trina doesn’t want Tori to become a bad person and end up like their awful parents, they have many moments where they bonded, supported, and showed concern for each other.
 * 13) * For example, in the pilot episode, Trina convinced Tori to stay at Hollywood Arts and admitted that Tori was a great singer, which was very sweet of her.
 * 14) * In "The Birthweek Song", Trina regretted taking credit for Tori's song and rightfully let Tori take over as the true vocalist, making up for her mistake.
 * 15) * In "Tori the Zombie", she got rightfully mad at Cat for using Grizzly Glue on Tori's face, to the point of driving four hours with Cat to get the solvent, despite getting sidetracked multiple times on the way, and helping Tori get the glue and Zombie mask off of her face.
 * 16) * In "Wok Star", she helps Tori by stalling Mrs. Lee in order for Jade to have her play.
 * 17) * In "Tori Gets Stuck", she gets worried when Tori was near the bush daisies, was horrified that her little sister almost died from blood drain, was rightfully furious at Jade for her awful actions towards Tori and almost causing Robbie to die as well in the process, and was satisfied that Jade got some comeuppance by not being able to be in the play.
 * 18) * In "Helen Back Again", she said she would give Tori some of her talent if she could, showing she wanted to save her from being kicked out of Hollywood Arts when she thought that Helen was going to kick Tori out.
 * 19) * In "Locked Up!", she was rightfully furious and worried when Tori was sent to jail in Yerba, kept Tori company while the Victorious gang were locked up, and ultimately succeeded in saving her sister, her friends and herself as they all ultimately escaped the prison and Yerba.
 * 20) * In "Beggin' on Your Knees", Trina helps save Tori from being tricked by Ryder, even if Tori is left heartbroken in the end. Thanks to Trina's actions, Tori's friends find out the truth, and help Tori get back at Ryder by writing a song for her, getting Tori a good grade and leaving Ryder with failure, much to Trina's happiness that her sister gave Ryder his just desserts.
 * 21) * In "The Breakfast Bunch", she sneaked in Tacos for Tori and her friends while they are in detention, risking getting herself in trouble in the process.
 * 22) * In "The Gorilla Club", Trina looks worried when her little sister gets attacked by the gorilla after Tori wins the challenge.
 * 23) * In "The Worst Couple", she was concerned and worried about Tori when she gets electrocuted by her phone.
 * 24) * In "Tori Goes Platinum", she was happy and proud when Tori got to sing at the Platinum Music Awards after all, showing some respect for Jade for becoming a better and decent friend to her little sister, since Jade gave up the spot for Tori, and the Victorious gang enjoyed Tori's performance.
 * 25) * In "Crazy Ponnie", she apologized to Tori when she blew her nose next to her on the ride home, and was touched when Tori said she didn’t mind.
 * 26) Overall, Trina is the more likable of the 2 sisters in Victorious, and one of the funniest and memorable characters in the show.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) She can be unlikable and annoying sometimes due to her narcissistic, rude, and desperate for fame attitude.
