The characters of the television series ''[[Victorious]]'':
== Tori Vega ==
[[File:Victorious-halloween-jade-tori-
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Alliterative Name]]: One of her posts on the slap.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.
* [[Almost Kiss]]:
** {{spoiler|An one-sided one with Andre in "Jade Gets Crushed".}}
** Another one with {{spoiler|Beck}} in "Tori Goes Platinum", but she refuses {{spoiler|out of respect for Jade's feelings.}}
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
* [[Dance Battler]]: Defeats the Gorilla by doing the ''Hammer Dance'' before kicking it off the crate.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: While nowhere near the level of Jade, she can dip into this on occasion. Jade is generally the one to bring this side of her out.
* [[Dreadful Musician]]: Do ''not'' let Tori put her hands on a musical instrument.
* [[Fascinating Eyebrow]]: Tori in particular is quite fond of it.
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: The Phlegmatic.
Line 47 ⟶ 48:
* [[The Rival]]: Jade, though she makes it clear that she'd prefer to be Jade's friend.
* [[Running Gag]]: Ever since "Rex Dies", people really can't stop mentioning Tori's cheekbones.
* [[She's Got Legs]]
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: With Trina.
* [[Silent Snarker]]: Her signature reaction to Jade insulting her.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: 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.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Ungrateful Bitch]]: Even after all of the nice things Robbie's done for her, she still ditches him at Nozu in "How Trina Got In" after he breaks the dishes. Trina's an on-and-off case, seeing Tori actually does appreciate that she got into Hollywood Arts because of her.
* [[Victorious Loser]]: in "Stage Fighting". Which is interesting considering her name and the name of the show.
Line 59 ⟶ 60:
* [[The Watson]]: She's constantly asking what this, that and the other thing mean. At one point, she asks what an ''understudy'' is. This infuriates Jade.
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: She gets the lead in "Tori Gets Stuck", but we all know [[Overdrawn At the Blood Bank|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}}.
== André Harris ==
[[File:
Portrayed by Leon Thomas III
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Almost Kiss]]: {{spoiler|Almost kisses Tori due to her posing as Jade in "Jade Gets Crushed".}}
* [[Black Best Friend]]: To most of the group, but most prominently to Tori, Beck, and Robbie.
* [[The Cast Showoff]]: Almost rivaling the main character herself.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Has his moments from time to time.
* [[The Comically Serious]] : Generally one of the saner members of the cast.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Comes from his [[Only Sane Man]] position.
* [[Grumpy Bear]]: Over a bad grade, he takes his anger out on Robbie in "A Christmas Tori" by shoving him out of his chair and knocking him to the ground.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Beck.
* [[Jack of All Trades]]: Can sing, act, and is gifted on multiple instruments.
* [[Large Ham]] / [[No Indoor Voice]]: Notably whenever he gets upset/stressed out.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: Trina can never get his name right.
** This running gag trails off after the first few episodes.
* [[Nice Guy]]: Except in "A Christmas Tori".
* [[The Not Love Interest]]
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Trades off with Tori and Beck at times.
* [[The Perfectionist]]: When it comes to his music.
Line 85 ⟶ 87:
* [[Stunned Silence]]: 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.
** Happened again, this time [[Ship Tease|as stunned amazement when he heard Jade sing.]]
== Cat Valentine ==
[[File:Cat-valentine-
Portrayed by [[Ariana Grande]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Anime Hair]]
* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: Girl loves her candy.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: In "The Gorilla Club", where she completes the balls of pain with ease.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: More so than Tori and Beck; she broke Tori's nose in one punch, 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, even outright stating Hayley's father doesn't love her.
{{quote|
'''Cat''': Yeah, don't believe everything your daddy says. }}
** Bibble in "Tori Goes Platinum" made her a bit edgy.
* [[Breathless Non-Sequitur]]: Occasionally.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: In a way, Cat. A little bit odd and excitable but her musical talent is extremely noticeable.
Line 111 ⟶ 113:
* [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: Confirmed by [[Word of God]].
* [[Expy]]: Of Misty from Moody's Point on [[The Amanda Show]].
* [[Foil]]: Her personality is a total 180 from Jade’s, which makes their interactions enjoyable to watch. Specifically, Cat is sweet and kind while Jade is cold and antisocial.
* [[Flanderization]]: The biggest victim of being turned into [[The Ditz]] most of the time.
* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: The Sanguine.
* [[Genki Girl]]
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: “Little Red” by Andre.
* [[Mood Swinger]]
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: All the girls do their share from time to time but she gets the most, witness "Trapped In An RV"
Line 121 ⟶ 124:
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Her full first name is Caterina, but only her grandma calls her that.
* [[Potty Emergency]]: Cat in Stuck in an RV, "gotta-pee gotta-pee gotta-pee!"
* [[Redheaded Hero
* [[Scary Black Man]]: Her parents had one follow her around to keep her from eating bibble.
* [[She's Got Legs]]
* [[Strange Girl]]
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: “We were not watching you kiss that girl”
Line 130 ⟶ 133:
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Her nervous giggle.
* [[Who Wears Short Shorts?]]: Most of her outfits.
* [[Women Are Wiser]]: Averted, she ended up in a padded cell once…not that she minded.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Red Hair]]
== Robbie Shapiro==
[[File:Roobieee 5975.png|thumb|250px]]
Portrayed by Matt Bennett
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: 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 how it hints he and Cat may like each other.
* [[Adorkable]]
Line 144 ⟶ 149:
* [[Bring Me My Brown Pants]]: 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.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: He's actually extremely talented in many different ways, despite being one of the most eccentric members of the cast and having Rex.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: The infamous Ice Cream Mother incident, Jade risks his life while he's in the hospital to get a spot in the play, gets beat up by Trina to help her stay in the school (which Trina never knows, so he is never given credit for helping), helps Tori with her exam and she beats him by one point for the school record, leaving him a crying heap as his picture is thrown out, and basically [[Once an Episode|every episode sees him either injured, insulted, or otherwise shown in an unfairly negative light]].
* [[The Chew Toy]]: Once spent a whole episode working on his car with Beck. Almost as soon as they're done, its promptly stolen, but not before a group of girls who come to flirt with Beck repeatedly spray him with a hose until he's begging for mercy. Bought a bike for $400, which was instantly destroyed less than ten seconds later by Helen hitting it with her car. Tori starts to defend him, then [[With Friends Like These...|tells him to be more careful and runs away]] after she finds out the new principal hit it. Later in that same episode, Tori basically makes Robbie get beat up by Trina, while she ignores his saying he's [[Dude, Not Funny|always beaten and hates it]]. [[Played for Laughs|Cue laugh track.]]
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: 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.
* [[
** The first season even had him dressing similar to Urkel, with strange patterned and colorful cardigans.
* [[Flanderization]]: Somewhat in Season 2 and the beginning of season 3 on the subjects of him being [[All Jews Are Cheapskates|cheap]]/[[Greedy Jew|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.
Line 160 ⟶ 165:
* [[Nerd Glasses]]- The actor portraying him, Matt Bennett, sports an even nerdier pair in real life.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]] - He has also been known to make things worse on occasion (i.e. "The Great Ping Pong Scam" and "Locked Up"). Sikowitz even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] it in the latter's case: "Way to go, Urkel".
* [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]]: 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. 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. Makes a portable battery from car batteries so Tori can use her phone. She later gets frustrated with it and electrocutes him with them. He is the only one who rushes to see if Sikowitz is okay when he falls through his window, and by being concerned for his teacher's safety, breaks character and is sent away. 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. Trains Tori for her tech theater exam, and his school record is beaten by one point, leaving him broken. Gives a review on Trina's play, and is threatened bodily because Trina doesn't like the review.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Met Andre's cousin once and accidentally stepped on her toe. She threw him out of a window.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: While not exactly the manliest guy out there, you gotta give points to a kid his age who came shamelessly flaunt his male make up and $40 pedicures while not being all [[Camp]] about it.
* [[Running Gag]]: Since the beginning of the show, characters have been known to confuse Robbie for a girl.
** 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.
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: He apparently has made a routine out of hiding in the bushes at Tori's house and watching her.
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Sensitive Guy to Rex's Manly Man.
* [[Unprovoked Pervert Payback]]: Never seen on the show itself, but he mentions once that [[Noodle Incident|he was sprayed with mace when he simply asked a girl out on a date.]]
Line 171 ⟶ 176:
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: 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 don't seem to mind much when he's in pain, insulted, or upset.
==Rex Powers==
[[File:Medium Rex 4443.jpg|thumb|250px]]
Voiced by Jake Farrow
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Ambiguously Bi]]: 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.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Rex posts a worried question about the episode "Rex Dies" on [[The Slap]].
Line 189 ⟶ 194:
* [[Kavorka Man]]: Closest you could get to on a kid's show...yeah..the ''puppet'' 'consorts' with a great number of North ridge girls and even has a hickey from their prom that he went to.
* [[Lemony Narrator]]: 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 payed either way.'
* [[Mandatory Line]]: 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.
* [[N-Word Privileges]]: 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]], [[Series Continuity Error|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".
* [[Pet the Dog]]: This exchange with Tori about her waiting for the announcement ''of'' the announcement of a new phone.
{{quote|
'''Tori''': Yeah.
'''Rex''': Girl, you're better than that. }}
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man|Sensitive Ventriloquist and Manly Puppet]]: Watch any episode from seasons 1 or 2 and wait for Robbie and Rex to show up.
Line 201 ⟶ 206:
* [[What You Are in the Dark]]: Subverted in ''Beck's Big Break''; while dreaming, Robbie sees Rex as a separate being and not as an extension of himself.
==Jade West ==
[[File:Victorious-halloween-jade-tori-hair 8645.jpg|thumb|250px]]
Portrayed by [[Liz Gillies]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Audio Erotica]]: Andre ended up developing a crush on her, after hearing her sing.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type V]]
Line 220 ⟶ 225:
* [[The Determinator]]: Not even suffering from a blistering burn on her palm could break her out of character in "Sleepover at Sikowitz".
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: 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 [[Overdrawn At the Blood Bank|two pints of blood in one night]] (Jade purposely misplaced the first pint).
* [[Easily Forgiven]]: By Tori in "Stage Fighting", which she [[
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: The only person she won't harm is Cat.
* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: "Well, you can't be nice to me when I've been mean to you! That's not how it works!"
Line 233 ⟶ 238:
* [[The Friend Nobody Likes]]: Mix of Type 1, Type 4, and Type 5: The rest of the group has known Jade for two years, 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.
** Pushed further in ''"The Worst Couple,"'' the only person in the group she actually considers her friend is Andre.
*** She didn't even say that she considered Andre a friend, she just didn't mention him when listing why she doesn't consider the people she hangs out with friends.
*** And considering how earlier he said that if they invite Beck to play cards, they'd have to 'deal with Jade', he doesn't find her a very good friend either.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Jade is at least somewhat [[Genre Savvy]] concerning Tori's lack of knowledge about anything theater related.
* [[Goth]]: Her appearance is gothic, but not so much her as a character.
* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: She is definitely the character the writers are not sure whether she should pound Tori/Trina/Cat anytime or to be their [[Vitriolic Best Buds]] at best.
Line 242 ⟶ 247:
* [[Hypocritical Heartwarming]]: Never expressed out loud, but she does some things that imply that only ''she'' is allowed to mess with Tori, damn it! (For example: Celebrating when Tori gives [[Manipulative Bastard|Ryder Daniels]] his well-deserved [[Humiliation Conga]], looking shocked and irritated when Robbie said Tori was "freaking out" in Robbarazzi, etc.)
* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: 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.)
* [[Jerkass]]: Oftentimes, especially in "Jade Dumps Beck," but also in the RV episode of turning into a [[Jerkass Woobie]].
** But [[Took a Level
** Her [[Jerkass]] behavior is taken [[Up to Eleven]] in "Driving Tori Crazy", where it's heavily implied that she'd planned to ''kill and bury'' Tori or at least wanted Tori to think she would.
* [[Jerkass Facade]]: Hinted at, but not confirmed one way or the other.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Often.
** [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in "Stage Fighting," when Tori goes out of her way ''not'' to punish Jade.
** [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: 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.
Line 264 ⟶ 269:
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Sometimes. 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." 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 seems to have a soft spot for Sikowitz and Cat. She does this in a major way in "Tori Goes Platinum", by {{spoiler|giving up her shot at a major performance that could make her famous so that Tori could perform instead.}}
* [[The Rival]]: To Tori.
* [[She's Got Legs]]
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[Took a Level In Kindness]]: Well, not really. She's still a [[Jerkass]], but doesn't seem to be as bitchy as she was in earlier seasons.
Line 273 ⟶ 278:
* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]: In "Stage Fighting."
==Beck Oliver==
[[File:Beckk 2361.png|thumb|250px]]
Portrayed by Avan Jogia
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Almost Kiss]]: {{spoiler|On Tori, but she refuses because she doesn't want to hurt Jade's feelings.}}
* [[Auto Erotica]]: 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.
* [[Base on Wheels]]: Beck's trailer.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: 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. [[Out-of-Character Moment|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.
* [[Character Development]]: He was pretty generic when the show started, but became more fleshed out in ''Robarazzi''.
Line 297 ⟶ 301:
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Andre.
* [[Implied Love Interest]]: Even though Tori kissed him, it's not really gone beyond an implication that they might like each other. Especially since he's already with Jade.
* [[It Amused Me]]: In a way, Beck seems to greatly amused by Jade’s possessiveness and jealousy and sometimes goes as far as to induce it a bit in a slight [[Trickster]] way.
* [[Make Up or Break Up]]: 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|The second time in "The Worst Couple", however...}}
* [[Morality Chain]]: 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.
Line 304 ⟶ 308:
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Although the fact that André is there kinda destroys the purpose of the trope.
* [[Satellite Character]]: Early on in the show, then he got more characterization.
* [["Shut Up" Kiss]]: Beck on Jade when she's saying sorry.
* [[The Stoic]]: "He's unscareable".
* [[Straight Man]]: Usually to Jade, though he had played it to other characters as well.
Line 311 ⟶ 315:
* [[Unwanted Harem]]: Inverted. He has no problems with random girls popping up at his doorstep and asking for rides to school. Now if {{spoiler|he and Jade were still together, she'd flip.}}
==Trina Vega==
[[File:Trinaaa 2784.png|thumb|250px]]
Portrayed by [[Daniella Monet]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]: 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.''
** According to "Freak The Freak Out" and "Andre's Horrible Girl", she knows some stealth techniques as well.
Line 349 ⟶ 353:
* [[Implausible Deniability]]: Trina early in "Freak the Freak Out".
* [[Informed Flaw]]: Trina's bad singing is [[Hollywood Tone Deaf]] at worst. Other than too much scooping and being flat at times. Trina could sing well if she would just accept that she's not perfect and maybe some lessons would do her some good. And Trina's audition with the submarine scene was pretty good, but it was implied she didn't get the role because of her bad acting, while all she did was say one word wrong.
** She stage kissed well enough to make Robbie believe that she actually liked him.
*** That's probably more Robbie's cluelessness than Trina's talent...
** Supposedly, we're supposed to believe Trina has no talent whatsoever. Yet, she's not too bad at acting, as pointed out here, and also seems to be a good dancer (note how in Locked Up, even Jade doesn't seem to mind Trina dancing with them, as long as her mic was off). ''Helen Back Again'' also shows us she has some skill in martial arts.
* [[In the Back]]: 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.
* [[It's All About Me]]: She gives herself a birth''week'' instead of a birthday.
* [[Jerkass]]: At her worst.
Line 367 ⟶ 371:
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: With Tori.
* [[She's Got Legs]]
* [[The Scrappy]]: [[In-Universe]]. She was referred to as "talentless and irritating" in "Helen Back Again", while "Locked Up" demonstrates that her parents would be perfectly happy if Tori took her to Yerba and never brought her back. In "Freak The Freak Out", her parents went to Santa Barbara for the sole purpose of avoiding her and Jade has stated quite plainly that nobody likes Trina.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]
* [[Spicy Latina]]
Line 375 ⟶ 379:
* [[The Unfavorite]]: 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.
* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]: Averted hard in "How Trina Got In".
* [[Took a Level
* [[Ungrateful Bitch]]: "So where's my present?" This is not something you say to your sister who performed a song dedicated to you.
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: "Helen Back Again" was her second [[A Day in the Limelight|day in the spotlight]] and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] 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, [[Kick the Dog|the stage wall collapses on her.]]
* [[

Portrayed by Michael Eric Reid
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Apparently, 'he gives great crew' - he can operate lights/sound boards, and build props that are realistic enough to fool people (as he did for Tori in ''The Great Ping-Pong Scam''). In ''[[Crossover|iParty With Victorious]]'', he also proves to be extremely good at a surfing simulator (until it malfunctioned and threw him out the window).
* [[Butt Monkey]]
Line 398 ⟶ 402:
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: In "iParty With Victorious," he seemed to be on his way to beating a surfing simulator on Expert Level (With everyone cheering him on), but a malfunction sent him flying out the window.
==Hollywood Arts Staff==
===Erwin Sikowitz===
[[File:Mediumsikowitz 8912.jpg|thumb|250px]]
Portrayed by Eric Lange
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: Telling Jade "too bad" when she says she doesn't want to be Tori's Secret Santa in "A Christmas Tori." Earlier in the same episode, he even called Sinjin's sister a little weirdo right in his presence and outright told him his parents "should've stopped with him".
** In "Freak The Freak Out", when he tells Jade that she's lucky to have Beck as a boyfriend, and also slams Robbie for his lack of weekend plans.
** Played with in one episode, where he uses brutal honesty (disparaging Tori's singing and her chances of becoming a professional singer; however, he just says that to kit for reactions from the students) to demonstrate how playing against expectations in a way to draw the audience into an actor's performance.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Despite seeming rather insane, he's actually a great acting teacher most of the time.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Dear Gandhi!"
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: ''Very'' out there, [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|but surprisingly skilled as a teacher.]]
* [[Cool Teacher]]
Line 427 ⟶ 432:
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Coconut, especially the milk.
===
[[File:
Portrayed by Marco Aiello
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[The Alleged Car]]: So much so that Jade and Tori mistake it for a car they ordered from a junkyard in ''The Wood''.
* [[Funny Foreigner]]
Line 436 ⟶ 443:
* [[Unknown Rival]]: Apparently has never liked Robbie, and after he accidentally killed the chancellor's octopus, vowed to spit in Robbie's food everyday he orders from the Grub Truck.
===
[[File:
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: As seen in ''The Wood'' and ''iParty With Victorious'', though it may seem to be reasonable seeing his anger was triggered by Trina. ''The Wood'', had him really go berserk on the TV crew.
* [[The Danza]]: Played by Lane Napper.
Line 447 ⟶ 457:
* [[Satellite Character]]

'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "That is not my job!"
** [[Former Child Star]]: Said phrase actually made her famous.

Line 481 ⟶ 497:

* [[Berserk Button]]: "Sassing" her is a definite way to set her off.
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Within the ''first minute'' of her appearance, she happily invites Tori, Beck, and Robbie to sushi with her and Andre. By her second appearance, she's a full-blown bitch who questions Tori's presence at her party and outright tells her to keep her mouth shut.
