Sinjin Van Cleef

Sinjin Van Cleef is a very odd student who goes to Hollywood Arts. Throughout the series he is shown to have a crush on Jade West much to her dismay.

Personality
Sinjin Van Cleef is a somewhat odd student at Hollywood Arts. His locker features food that's been "chewed but never swallowed", such as meatloaf. His hobby is his collection of teeth of past presidents' relatives. He has a huge crush on Jade, despite her not liking him back, and even goes as far as breaking into her house (Wi-Fi in the Sky ). He also says that he is back-up ("rebound") when she and Beck break up. It is unknown how he got into Hollywood Arts, most likely because he does a lot of background work on all of the school's productions and performances, such as audio, lighting, and making props. Sinjin is also shown to have a liking of moss (Wok Star). He is aware of his eccentric manner and does not care that much what other people think- in Wok Star, he found it self-explanatory that his pants were unzipped. Sinjin is usually friendly but easily creeps people out. He would go out with any girl; Sinjin is desperate.

Tori Vega
(2010-present; Friend; Slight crush) In the episode "The Bird Scene" Sinjin shows Tori his locker which makes her run away after he explains its meaning. In "The Birthweek Song", he offers Tori a bobble head that looks like him as a birthweek present for Trina, to which Tori says "My dad´s a cop." Sinjin replies, "Moving on" and leaves. In "Survival of the Hottest," when Sinjin passes out in a kiddie pool, Robbie suggests Tori should give him mouth-to-mouth and Tori reacts by saying, "he's fine" and running away, leaving him to do it himself. Tori appears to dislike him, or is disturbed by his actions on occasions.

In "The Great Ping-Pong Scam," Tori locks Sinjin into the janitor's closet with her to make him help her find out what the Ping-Pong group actually does. Sinjin says that everything's happening the way it happened in his last dream, assuming that Tori wants to kiss him. Instead, he gets sprayed in the face with cleaning solution by Tori. But when he reveal to Tori a way to sneak into the group, she kisses him on the cheek and leaves, leaving a shocked Sinjin behind.

Tori is probably a fan of Sinjin's products since she was seen chewing his "Mexican" flavored gum at the start of "The Great Ping-Pong Scam" and she wanted him to make a soda machine for her to hide in later on in the episode. (See: Torjin)

Jade West
(2010-present; Enemy, Crush) Sinjin has an obvious crush on Jade. In "The Birthweek Song" Sinjin says, "Jade is so pretty." Jade reacts by saying, "3, 2, 1..." scaring him away.

In "Jade Dumps Beck," he offers himself as her new boyfriend.

In "Tori the Zombie," he is seen pressing the "Disco" button, causing Jade to insult him. ("15 years ago, your mother gave birth to the wrong thing!") In Jade Dumps Beck, Sinjin and another nerd walk up to Jade's table; Jade looks up and growls, "No!" And Sinjin and the other nerd walk away.

In "Wi-Fi in the Sky," he sneaks into Jade's house. Jade discovers him at her house when she finds a lamp that looks like hers in his video chat screen in the background. Although Jade's annoyed by his geeky affections for her, Jade has a bit of a similar personality to Sinjin, as both like wierd things. (See: Sade)

Cat Valentine
(2010-present; Acquaintance) They don't interact much. But at the end of the episode Robarazzi, Cat asks Sinjin if he has a credit card and a girlfriend. After learning that Sinjin does in fact have a credit card, Cat asks Sinjin, in a flirty manner, if he could call her sometime. Sinjin seems very excited at the idea and runs off to buy a phone, unaware that Cat only wanted his credit card to buy more items from Sky Store. (See: Cinjin)

Trina Vega
(2010-present; Frenemy) They barely interacted until Prom Wrecker. Trina asked Sinjin to make her become Prom queen, but Sinjin would only do so if she was his date to the Prom. Trina is freaked out by Sinjin's chewed-up meatloaf, and she slaps it against his chest. (See: Trinjin)
