Tori Vega (Victorious)

Good

"'NO! Fifteen years ago, your mother GAVE BIRTH TO THE WRONG THING!' (Tori the Zombie)" Victoria "Tori" Vega (born either 1993 or 1994) is the main protagonist of the 2010 live-action Nickelodeon sitcom mh:besttvshows:Victorious. She is portrayed by Victoria Justice.

Personality
Tori is an aspiring pop star who loves to sing and has a great voice. She is known to be a nice person with some selfish and hypocrisy in her. She loves her family and friends very much.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) She takes advantage of students of lower status.
 * 2) She is known to be extremely self-absorbed, akin to Bloo from Seasons 2-6 of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
 * 3) * For example, she steals Andre's song and then offers to share credit with him, even though it wasn't hers in the first place.
 * 4) She often complains about things being too hard and expects everything to fall right in her lap. In "The Bird Scene", she even tries to cheat so that she can be in plays by taking advantage of her friends.
 * 5) She basically ruined the ending of The Great Ping Pong Scam with her usual "saving the day by singing".
 * 6) She kissed two of her friends' boyfriends in front of them (Albeit one of them was on impulse).
 * 7) She and Jade always do illegal things, but they almost never get consequences.
 * 8) *In one episode, Tori breaks into a store, opens tubs of ice cream without paying for them, and then makes a mess with the ice cream she opened. In the end, she receives no consequences.
 * 9) *In WokStar, She and Jade thought it was okay to hang a little girl from the ceiling just because her mother was apparently ruining the play.
 * 10) *She and Jade practically destroy a man's car just for a reality show.
 * 11) *When she and her friends were thrown in prison for something that was obviously their fault, Tori and the rest of the group escape from prison with their usual method of singing and dancing their way out of a problem.
 * 12) Suprisingly, unlike Jade where she would often get at least small consequences for doing bads, Tori would sometimes get away with doing bad things with no consequences, because she was portrayed as a "nice girl"
 * 13) She freaks out about auditions and roles and then receives them all, as if she is so tremendously talented.
 * 14) She gets more vocals than Cat, Jade, Robbie, Andre, and especially Beck.
 * 15) *The irony is that whenever she would be part of a duet, she always gets overshadowed by the other singer.
 * 16) She makes it look easy to break into show business when it really isn't. Things just came easy for her.
 * 17) She and Cat had horrible chemistry, depending on what you think.
 * 18) *In "Jade Gets Crushed" she agrees with Andre to not choose Cat for his song, rather than reminding him that Cat is equal to the group. Ok, so Cat is stupid, but since when is she untalented?
 * 19) *She is seen taking the spotlight away from Cat a lot.
 * 20) There are times where she would flat-out put her top priority over those of her best friends.
 * 21) *The best example of this is in the episode "Prom Wrecker", where she cancels a play that Jade is producing (which was a big deal to her) for a prom, and proceeding to get mad at Jade for it. It gets to a point where you can consider Jade's actions in the episode justifiable.
 * 22) *And again, that ridiculous moment where she simply decided she could share Andre's song and used it to get a record deal.
 * 23) She was pretty unlikable in "Brain Squeezers" along with Jade.
 * 24) *She just had to be a huge bragger and acted as if being on brain squeezers made her "soo special" (no wonder Jade took her identity and got on the game show with her. But you're not off the hook, Jade.)
 * 25) Hypocrisy: When her friends ask her to help them, she groans and walks away, but expects everyone to help her as soon as she asks them.
 * 26) *In 1,000 Berry Balls, when Cat begs her to help her, she ignores her tells her to go ask Jade. What if she was dying? (real great friend there, Tori!)
 * 27) *In Begging on Your Knees, she forces Andre to write her a song, and doesn't care that it's his Grandfather's birthday. (again, real great friend!)

Good Qualities

 * 1) She still isn't without her likeable moments.
 * 2) Victoria Justice does a good job portraying her, especially when she sings, though the same can't be said about another bad Nickelodeon character that she portrayed.
 * 3) *Her singing voice is beautiful, and it helps that Victoria Justice has had a lot of singing experience when she was portraying the character, showing how good Tori's portrayal is in the show, despite her poor characterization.
 * 4) She still has some talent, as Trina does admit to her younger sister that she is a really good and better singer than her in the Pilot.
 * 5) She is more tolerable in the 3rd season of Victorious, making her decently likable as a result.
 * 6) She never ends up with Beck, even when they were about to kiss in Tori Goes Platinum, Tori decides not to, not wanting to hurt Jade, causing Jade to see Tori as a good friend, at times, and Tori was happy when Jade and Beck got back together in Tori Fixes Beck and Jade.
 * 7) Even when she learns that Jade faked being hurt by her and landing Tori in detention, she actually chooses not to confess the truth and accepts the punishment for something she didn't even do.
 * 8) She and her rival Jade do get karma once in a blue moon, like when they had to walk Festus home after destroying his car for "The Wood", but that's not enough to completely remove her from the Karma Houdini party (and the Idiot Houdini party, dure to her stupidity.)
 * 9) She's a pretty talented singer.
 * 10) The sister relationship between her and Trina is good, with her more sensible and down to earth personality playing off of Trina's narcissistic, rude, and desperate for fame attitude.
 * 11) She makes sure to right her wrongs. In Beck's Big Break, she inadvertently gets Beck fired from a movie just for correcting the lead actress and being Beck's friend. However, she manages to get Beck his part back by accidently getting the lead actress injured and replaced.
 * 12) * In Cat's New Boyfriend, she admitted it was wrong for her to spray cheese on Cat and her boyfriend Daniel and later kissing him and apologizes to Cat.
 * 13) Her appearance is very pretty, but don't let that fool you.
 * 14) Overall, she's not a bad character, just pretty flawed.

Trivia

 * Victoria Justice, her actress, has also portrayed other characters like Lola Martinez from mh:besttvshows:Zoey 101, Jordan Sands from The Boy Who Cried Werewolf (2010), Shelby Marx from mh:besttvshows:iCarly, and Wren DeSantis from mh:awfulmovies:Fun Size (all of which are likable characters, except for Wren).
 * She has spawned two internet memes, those being Creeper Tori, and "NO! Fifteen years ago, your mother GAVE BIRTH TO THE WRONG THING!", the latter being from the episode "Tori the Zombie", as shown from the text at the top of the page.
