Tori Vega

Tori Vega is the funny and talented 16-year old star of Victorious. Tori experiences the biggest change of her life when she enters Hollywood Arts Academy, where she's able to practice her "craft" (acting, singing, and dancing) and make new friends as well as enemies.

Characteristics
At first, Tori was insecure about her abilities and if Hollywood Arts is the right thing for her. Thanks to her friends, she has become more confident about her abilities, although she still has to get used to the unusual ways of the school.

She is kind, funny, and a bit neurotic. Nevertheless, she is always there when her friends need her, and they return the favor. She has a talent for singing and dancing, and she is also a performer. As revealed in Stage Fighting, she is half Latina.

She has customized her locker with a light-up picture of a star-lit sky and the words "Make It Shine" (the song that got her into Hollywood Arts/title song of the show).

Appearances
Tori, is shown to be a great singer, replacing her sister Trina, during the showcase. Tori is asked if she would like to join Hollywood Arts, and first declines but accepts. Tori accidentlies runs into Beck Oliver, dumping coffee on him and tries to get the stain out. Jade confronts her, and during a skit, dumps coffee on her. Tori becomes really upset and wants to leave the school. Andres convinces her that she is talented and makes her join the class. Tori kisses Beck in front of Jade.

Trina

 * Tori and her older sister have a good relationship. Although Tori seems to be aware of her sister's lack of talent, she is still supportive. Trina is also seen to be supportive to Tori, as she discouraged her sister when she wanted to quit Hollywood Arts.

Andre

 * Andre is Tori's best friend and shoulder to lean on. Tori and Andre became instant friends when he and Trina were partnered up for the talent show. Andre is probably one of the main reasons that Tori came to Hollywood Arts in the first place. He was the one who volunteered her to take Trina's place when she had an allergic reaction. He also convinced Tori to accept her invite to Hollywood Arts. When Tori wanted to give up after Jade poured coffee on her in Improv class, Andre was the first to point out that she was special and that she belonged at the school. He has written every song she has sang since Make It Shine. It is hinted that Andre has a slight crush on Tori. (See: Tandre)

Jade

 * Tori must hate Jade because they are not friends.The first time Jade and Tori met, enemy-ship sparked. Jade instantly hated Tori for flirting with her boyfriend, Beck. As revenge, Jade poured coffee on Tori and humiliated her in front of their entire Improv classmates. Tori wanted to quit Hollywood Arts afterwards, but Andre and her sister convinced her to not let Jade bother her. On her second day at Hollywood Arts, Tori fought fire with fire and humiliated Jade by kissing Beck during their alphabet acting practice. As of episode 3 however, they apparently begin to develop a friendship. (See: Jori)

Beck

 * Beck and Tori met in Improv class when Tori walked into him, spilling coffee on him by accident. However, when she was trying to rub the coffee out of his shirt, his girlfriend, Jade walked in and instantly hated Tori. During their Improv acting practice, Jade got revenge by pouring coffee on Tori and humiliating her, much to Beck and everyone's dismay. Tori kissed Beck during her second day, for revenge against Jade. There are a good number of fans who think Tori and Beck will end up together. (See: Bori)
