Jori

Tori: ''"Hey, what time is it?"  Jade: "I'm not your clock."''

- An exchange between Tori and Jade, in A Film by Dale Squires

Jori is a term for the pairing between Jade West and Tori Vega (J/ade and T/ori), another being Tade (T/ori and J/ade). Although they seem to be rivals, Tori and Jade seem to be developing a friendship as the series has progressed. Although, at times Jade seems to despise Tori (while she insists on being nice to Jade), she will run to her first when she has a problem. Potential for romance comes from Jade who enjoys making Tori suffer and strives to get a reaction from her, while at the same time running to her for help and comfort such as in Jade Dumps Beck. They help each other out sometimes. Their major Jori moment is seen in the Wok Star episode when, for the first time, Jade hugs Tori. It is very clear that Jade prefers Tori over her sister Trina.
