Tori Vega

Pilot

In Pilot, Tori is shown helping her classmate on a science project. She then gets the chance of a lifetime to attend Hollywood Arts after taking her older sister Trina Vega's place in her school's big showcase. André Harris helps Tori to receive a standing ovation from the crowd, and accepts the offer. On her first day of school, she meets Cat Valentine, Robbie Shapiro, Rex Powers, Beck Oliver and her new enemy, Jade West. After accidentally spilling coffee on Beck, Tori finds herself at the wrath of Jade, who thinks Tori was flirting with Beck. After an altercation with Jade, Tori wonders if she is good enough to attend or even belong at Hollywood Arts. At the insistence of Trina, Tori returns to class and then gets revenge on Jade by winning against her in an improv assignment and by kissing Beck in front of her and ends with saying "I like this school".

The Bird Scene

In The Bird Scene, Tori wants to try out for the lead role in a play called "Moonlight Magic". However, according to Erwin Sikowitz, she must master a monologue known as "The Bird Scene" before she can be involved in any school production. She also needs to think of a creative and meaningful way to decorate her locker, which is a Hollywood Arts tradition. Sikowitz fails her twice but she then insists that she worked her hardest on the monologue, causing her to pass. He tells her that the moral of the scene is to believe in her own choices as an artist and decorates her locker with the song "Make It Shine", the same song that got her into the school.

Stage Fighting

In Stage Fighting, Jade and Tori act in a fight scene, but things go bad when Jade acts as if Tori hit her in the eye with a cane. When she explains that she did not hit Jade, no one believes her. Later it is revealed by André that Jade was faking it, with makeup that made her eye look like it was bleeding and made it look like she had a black eye as the aftermath. The two finally agree to play nice and trick the security guard into thinking they would finish Tori's punishment for cleaning up after a food fight scene.

Appearance

  • Eye Color: Brown
  • Hair Color: Brunette
  • Skin Color: Tan (half Latina, half Irish)
  • Trademark: Cheekbones

Tori can be described as a moderately tall, very slim, beautiful girl with dark brown hair and brown eyes. Her most prominent features are her cheekbones which have been remarked upon by many (Mrs. Lee, Ryder Daniels, Rex Powers, Kenan Thompson, Freddie Benson, and Ke$ha) to the point of "Cheekbones" becoming a nickname of hers.

In the pilot, Tori's hair is different than it is the rest of the series. Instead of being curly and equally parted, it is straight and parted to one side. Tori is usually seen wearing t-shirts with a pair of jeans and boots (of various styles, usually of the high-heeled variety). Her fashion sense is known to vary, suggesting she may be a downplayed fashionista or have a hidden gift for design. One fashion choice that she is confirmed to dislike is wearing skirts over jeans. She was also able to style Beck's hair into a variety of hairstyles in Tori Takes Requests #8. She seems to enjoy wearing skinny jeans contrasted with looser tops but has infrequently inverted this or worn exclusively form hugging clothing. Of all the girls in her group, she enjoys displaying her midriff suggesting a comfortableness with her sexuality and an acknowledgment of how attractive she is. Some TheSlap posts even implied that she was considered the hottest girl at Hollywood Arts.

Personality

Tori is pleasant, positive, kind, easy-going, funny, sweet, intelligent, serious, forgiving, more mature and responsible than her older sister, yet can be shown to be neurotic and impatient and sometimes stresses out at times, though such emotions are usually well warranted. Nevertheless, she is always there when her friends need her, such as in "Rex Dies" when she pretends that Rex came back to life to make Robbie happy and in "Jade Dumps Beck", where she helps Jade and Beck get back together. Although sometimes it seems like they don't care (especially Jade), they really do love her and usually return the favor, such as when Beck did her stunt for her in Beck Falls for Tori and when they all help her to win a private concert from Ke$ha so she won't have to be Trina's assistant in Ice Cream for Ke$ha.

In the beginning of the series, she was insecure of herself, as shown in Pilot when she was good enough to get into Hollywood Arts on scholarship and yet still unsure of her acting ability in "The Bird Scene", as indicated by her having to take the test three times. However, as time progresses she is shown to become more confident in her abilities though still retaining her sense of humility. Tori is shown to have an evil side, however, though most people who bring this out are usually fully deserving of whatever misfortune Tori will unleash on them. Throughout the series, she is shown being hostile to Trina on multiple occasions, though such acts are hardly unwarranted. Many of Tori's more hostile moments suggest that she is capable of being as callous as Jade, if not more so, but fears who she could become if she indulges those aspects.

Tori is characterized by her charm and is liked by everyone. Her charisma and sensitivity is undermined, however, by her quick thinking and giving into peer pressure. As as result, this can lead to Tori getting into trouble easily, and this is seen primarily in the first season. Such an example comes in the episode, Beck's Big Break, where Tori gets Beck fired from the movie production he was originally working with. In the end, Tori makes up for her mistake and Beck gets his role back. Her date with Ryder Daniels is an example of how easily she is given into peer pressure. After Trina eavesdropped on the conversation between Tori and Ryder, Tori eventually opted to find herself snooping through Ryder's phone, and she was eventually caught by Ryder. In the end, she finds out that Ryder was only dating Tori for the good grades. Some of her attitudes, suggest that Tori wants others to like and admire her as a flawless being who can solve everything.

Tori's soft heart also plays a major role in her reactions to the environment around her. While others are less forgiving, Tori has a sweet spot for people in trouble and her quick thinking emphasizes her caring and genuineness. An example of this comes in the episode, "Survival of the Hottest", where she spots Sinjin face down in a kiddie pool. Her quick reactions help Sinjin to stay alive, rotating his body in a face up motion.

In contrast to her older sister, Tori is a much more mature person and tends to enjoy things in a neutral state of mind. This is stressed in the episode, "Wi-Fi in the Sky", demonstrating the contrasting levels of maturity between the siblings. While Tori is portrayed as level-headed, Trina is portrayed to be vicious and is shown to dislike being continuously annoyed, to the point of almost lashing out at the young boy behind her. This is later challenged and affirmed in the episode, Cat's New Boyfriend; challenged, due to her temporary behavior after glossing over Daniel and Cat kissing, but affirmed when Tori and Daniel both state that jealousy is not a normal feeling she associates with. Even in "Victori-Yes", Tori outright said that she was not jealous of Trina being on, what Tori thought of at the time as, "high-quality television."

Several episodes imply that Tori is much smarter than she lets on as she is known to be able to quickly solve problems (The Great Ping Pong Scam, The Diddly-Bops, and Locked Up!), organize whole productions in days' time (Wok Star and Prom Wrecker), speaks multiple languages (The Wood, Locked Up!, and Tori Tortures Teacher), is able to learn and master dance routines merely by observational learning (Pilot and The Gorilla Club), and is suggested to simply be the intellectually smartest member of the group (possibly how she got through Brain Squeezers unharmed). Indeed the one time Tori was not put in charge of the gang's scheme, their plan ended up backfiring horribly (A Film by Dale Squires).

In addition to the above, some moments also imply that Tori, like her sister, is a good deal stronger than she looks. A good example exists in "Freak the Freak Out" where Tori was able to able to restrain the exceptionally strong Trina alone while André, Beck, and Robbie, and later Hayley and Tara, could not. Additionally, Jade's plan in Stage Fighting would not have worked had Tori not believed herself strong enough of giving someone a black eye in a single blow. She also appears very durable, being able to survive and quickly heal from Cat punching her in Cat's New Boyfriend, the injuries she sustained at The Gorilla Club, her phone, hooked up to car battery, electrocuting her (The Worst Couple), and being dragged across a field by a dog (Star Spangled Tori).

Despite, or perhaps because of, being a relative newcomer at Hollywood Arts, Tori seems the most dedicated to the performing arts frequently throwing herself into situations and opportunities that the other five react with, at best, polite indifference towards (The Wood, Beck Falls for Tori and Tori Goes Platinum) while also trying to improve her craft, contrasting the others' stagnation (The Gorilla Club). Discounting her initially losing the Platinum Music Awards, she appears to be the most determined of the lot, getting André a second chance in "The Diddly-Bops" after he was ready to abandon his dream, attempting very hard to cheer up Sikowitz when she thought she was the cause of his depression, and managing to survive the rough neighborhood in Terror on Cupcake Street alone. Likewise, in The Slap Fight, she was the only one who recognized how petty everyone's behavior was and that they were neglecting an important project to gain more followers.

Relationships with Other Characters

Trina Vega

"You might be crazy, but have I told you lately that I love you!"
— Tori singing to Trina.

(1993-present: Sister)

Trina Vega is Tori's older sister. Trina is the reason that Tori got into Hollywood Arts, because Trina took some kind of Chinese Herb Gargle she found online, thinking it would make her sing better, but instead, it gave her an allergic reaction, therefore having Tori fill in for her place at the showcase. Tori and Trina have an interesting relationship that has its ups and downs. They care for each other, but they don't like to express it. If they do, they quickly cover it up. For example, Trina encouraged Tori to go to Hollywood Arts and said she did "great" at the big showcase (even though she added "But I would have done amazing.") They do get into typical sibling fights but have never got into a major disagreement. Therefore, Tori and Trina care about each other but can get into little fights very easily. Though they bicker, the two are shown to always have each other's back, with Trina demanding that the Yerbanian Chancellor give Tori back and Tori making it so that Trina could stay at Hollywood Arts in Helen Back Again. (See: Torina)

André Harris

"You belong at this school."
André to Tori in Pilot.

(2010–present: Best Friend)

TandreBigShowcase

Tori and André

André is Tori's male best friend and one of her shoulders to lean on. Tori and André became instant friends after he and Trina were partnered up for the talent show and he begins spending a lot of time at her house, helping Trina. André is one of the main reasons that Tori went to and stayed at Hollywood Arts in the first place. He volunteered her to take Trina's place in the Big Showcase in the Pilot when Trina had an allergic reaction. When Tori wanted to give up after Jade poured coffee on her in Improv class, André was the first to point out that she was special and belonged at the school. He has written many of the songs she has sung since "Make It Shine". They only ever had one argument in "The Bad Roommate", but it was resolved by the end of the episode. (See: Tandré)

Jade West

"Why does she hate me?"
— Tori about Jade.

(2010–present: Frenemy)

Jori2

Tori and Jade

Jade and Tori are "frenemies", and their conflict is similar to a Type B (protagonist) vs Type A (antagonist). Tori and Jade did not get off on the right foot when they first met. While many of their interactions would suggest that Jade views herself as rivals with Tori, it seems that Tori does not return these feelings. Their relationship constantly shifts between friend and enemy, never appearing to stay in one position from one episode to the next.

The first time they met, Jade instantly hated Tori because she thought Tori was flirting with her boyfriend, Beck, when really Tori had spilled coffee on him and was only trying to dry it off. As "revenge", Jade poured iced coffee all over Tori and humiliated her in front of their entire Improv class. On her second day at Hollywood Arts, Tori fought fire with fire and humiliated Jade by besting her in an alphabetical improv assignment and kissing Beck in front of the class. In Stage Fighting, Jade makes everyone believe Tori hit her on purpose. Although Tori found out Jade was faking, she didn't report her. Since then, they've become relatively friendly. Jade enlists in Tori's help her get back with Beck, even though her efforts fail. Despite viewing Tori as a rival, Jade does acknowledge Tori's singing talent as at least equal to her own, seeking her help in Freak the Freak Out to beat Hayley and Tara in a karaoke competition when she and Cat, despite being better, lost, as the club was owned by one of the girl's fathers, who decided the victor, and were then banned from singing again at the club. She can also be seen dancing and cheering during some of Tori's performances, such as in One Thousand Berry Balls when Tori performs Here's 2 Us with André. When Jade is not allowed to put on her play at school in Wok Star, Tori helps her find a place to produce her play. Also, in that episode, for the first time, Jade and Tori share a hug. In The Wood, Tori and Jade mistakenly smash Festus's car when they were supposed to smash a junk car.

Driving-tori-052

Some episodes, such as Tori Gets Stuck and Prom Wrecker have found them at odds with each other. In the former, Jade was sabotaging Tori for the purpose of stealing her role. (An unusual act for her, as she didn't do so for the bigger name play in Tori the Zombie, even though Tori was playing the role Jade wanted.) In the latter, Jade was angry with Tori for causing her performance to be cancelled for the prome. Despite this, in Who Did It to Trina? it is shown that Tori values Jade's opinion. In Tori & Jade's Play Date they weren't thrilled about being cast as husband and wife in a play, but were able to overcome their differences and even work together to get revenge on two annoying boys by singing "Take A Hint," their first duet. Based on that cooperation, they finally become good friends in Tori Goes Platinum, when Jade sees Tori refuse to kiss Beck because she considers Jade to be her friend and she believes kissing a friend's ex-boyfriend is wrong. Because of this, Jade gives Tori her spot in the Platinum Music Awards back and cheers her on in the audience. Despite this, they would still clash a lot but kept shifting back to friend as quickly as they shifted to enemies. (See: Jori)

Beck Oliver

" The world needs to see who you truly are. Cause you're amazing."
— Beck to Tori in Tori Goes Platinum.

(2010–present: Good Friend)

Bori241241242141412

Tori and Beck

Beck and Tori are good friends. They kissed in the Pilot episode during an improv scene in class. Despite the initial kiss, Tori appears to respect Jade and Beck's relationship as a couple as she helps them get back together in Jade Dumps Beck. The ease with which Beck and Tori get along appears to be a source of Jade's antagonism towards Tori.

In Beck's Big Break she is extremely upset when she accidentally got Beck fired from a movie called Miss Fire. Tori went to great lengths to get Beck his job back. In Beck Falls for Tori, Beck helps Tori do a stunt that she was very scared of doing. In the episode Driving Tori Crazy, Beck drives Tori to school when she does not have another way to get there. In The Gorilla Club, Beck helps Tori with her audition for three nights and is by her side at every dangerous challenge. Likewise, he was the only one who didn't abandon her during the events of Tori Goes Platinum.

In Tori Goes Platinum, Beck comforts Tori and sees through her "act" when she is forced to act crazily per her manager's instruction. The two almost kiss twice, but Tori ultimately doesn't, saying she doesn't feel right about kissing him because she considers Jade to be her friend. In Opposite Date, Beck and Tori try to hang out as friends. In Tori Fixes Beck and Jade, Tori helps Beck date again, which results in him getting back together with Jade. (See: Bori)

Cat Valentine

"I love cats!"
— Tori to Cat in Pilot.

(2010–present: Best Friend)

Cat and tori

Cat is one of Tori's closest friends. Although Tori is sometimes annoyed with Cat's childish demeanor, they maintain their friendship. In the episode Cat's New Boyfriend, Tori becomes jealous that Cat is dating her ex-boyfriend and kisses him, causing Cat to cry and leave. Tori immediately feels terrible, and keeps trying to contact Cat to apologize, but Cat ignores her. Tori finally forces Cat to talk to her in school, and Tori then gets to apologize. After the two talk for a while, Cat forgives Tori, and their friendship returns to normal. Tori says she loves Cat and refers to her as the 'sweetest thing ever' in the same episode. Following this single argument, their friendship only got stronger to the point of becoming best friends, with several of Cat's TheSlap posts confirming that she views Tori as her best friend, something which may also influence Jade's negative treatment of Tori (as Jade considers Cat her best friend). In Car, Rain & Fire, Tori and Cat work together on their science project, and Tori agrees to go with Cat to commemorate the "death" of her favorite actress. Tori seems to view Cat as something of a surrogate little sister, a sentiment which Cat is very eager about, often sleeping over at Tori's house so the two can film their series, The Funny Nugget Show. (See: Cori)

Robbie Shapiro

(2010–present: Good Friend)

Rori3

Tori met Robbie (and his puppet Rex) when asking for directions on her first day. She was at first weirded out by Robbie, but quickly came to regard him as a close friend. In Robarazzi, Tori (for the first time) got angry at Robbie for a very long time for making up the Robarazzi blog and humiliating other students with their private business, including her. In Rex Dies, she accidentally sucks his puppet into a machine she was operating "killing" Rex. In the hospital she stays with Robbie as they watch Rex "die." She then feels sorry for him and turns the heart monitor back on, reviving Rex. In Tori Gets Stuck, Tori donates three pints of her blood to give to Robbie and they are comfortable joking around together. Also, in The Hambone King, Tori coaches Robbie in hamboning so that he can beat Jarold Ardbeg, eventually standing up for him when Jarold again defeats him. It was shown on many episodes that Robbie has a crush on Tori, though it appears to be only skin deep, and she does not appear to return his feelings but likewise refuses to take advantage of them to have him do things her way, with the two maintaining a healthy friendship. (See: Rori)

Erwin Sikowitz

(2010–present: Friend, Teacher)

Tori initially met Sikowitz outside the Hollywood Arts campus on her first day and gave him $2 because she thought he was homeless. On her first few days, he didn't show her any special treatment because she was new to improv which didn't seem to bother her at all. Since then, she has developed a friendship with him just like the rest of the group has. Although he is a bit odd and eccentric, they accept his weirdness and trust him. In Tori Tortures Teacher, Tori and her friends take Sikowitz to a play to celebrate his ten year teaching anniversary, and she is very concerned about him when she thinks that the play made him depressed. Tori and the gang also showed how much they like Sikowitz in Freak the Freak Out when they cheered wildly during his performance at Karaoke Dokie. Perhaps as a result of her being the newest addition to the group however, Tori seems the least tolerant of Sikowitz's antics and is usually the first to call out his insanity. Conversely, the fact that she seems so determined to succeed at Hollywood Arts makes her his favorite as he often gives her the most challenging roles to help her branch out and was so very proud of her when she won the Platinum Music Awards. (See: Torkowitz)

Sinjin Van Cleef

(2010–present; Friend)

Although Tori often gets annoyed and freaked out by Sinjin's awkward actions, she still considers him a friend. The Great Ping Pong Scam suggests that Sinjin may have a crush on Tori, having fantasized about making out with her. (See: Torjin)

Trivia

Victorious-wifi-in-the-sky-01
  • Tori, Cat, André, and Jade are the only characters that sang on the show.
  • She can shoot a bow and arrow with her feet, as seen in "The Breakfast Bunch".
  • Her locker has the words "Make it Shine" on it, the name of the song she sang in the Pilot episode, and lights up.
  • Her last name, Vega, is the name of the brightest star in the Lyra constellation.
  • "Tori" means "bird" in Japanese. Ironically, she had an audition called "The Bird Scene" which took her three tries.
  • She is half-Latina from her father's side and half-Irish from her mother's side, an inversion of Victoria Justice's parentage.
  • Along with André, Robbie and Jade, Tori appears in every episode. While the roles of the other three would vary in importance, she was always essential to the plot/subplot.
  • One of the apps on Tori's phone, TwitFlash, is a Twitter parody.
  • She loves "iCarly.com" and even has a sticker on her fridge with the name of the web show. She also expressed her love of the show during the crossover. Fittingly, she was the only one the gang to properly interact with the iCarly trio.
  • It’s said in the Pilot that Tori has never had any cavities.
  • Her screen name is ToriVega.
  • Tori is the only main character whose first name can be lengthened into the same as that of their actor, though it is never explicitly confirmed that her first name is "Victoria."
    • However, due to a TheSlap.com post where she says that her parents would have named her Victor if she was a boy, as well as the working title being "Victoria" and some dubs keeping the title as "Victoria", (e.g. "Brilhante Victória" in Portuguese), it can be reasonably assumed that her full name is Victoria.
  • Tori has sung Make It Shine four times ("Pilot", "Survival of the Hottest", "Helen Back Again" with André and "The Breakfast Bunch")
  • Aside from her solo performances, Tori has sung duets with André, Cat and Jade.
  • Tori is very ticklish under her armpits and on her feet. In "April Fools' Blank" Jade tickles Tori to cheer her up and on TheSlap.com Tori posts about getting a pedicure, which tickled so much she "kicked the woman in the ear by accident".
  • She has kissed both Jade's and Cat's boyfriends (Beck in the Pilot; Daniel in "Cat's New Boyfriend"). She has also kissed Carly Shay's boyfriend, Steven Carson, but unlike the first two times she kissed another girls' significant other, she and Steven were a couple and she was unaware that he was involved with someone else at the time.
  • Tori has been hit five times in the series, by Trina in "Jade Dumps Beck", "Freak the Freak Out," and "Wanko's Warehouse", by Cat in "Cat's New Boyfriend", and by Sinjin in Wanko's Warehouse.
  • As seen in The Wood, Tori knows how to sing Forever Baby in Spanish. Also in Tori Tortures Teacher, she understands what Sikowitz says.
  • Tori has stickers of Katy Perry, Saving Abel, Jessie J, and a young Dan Schneider in her locker which shows she might be a fan of them.
  • An interesting note is that before Victoria Justice was cast, the gender of "Alex Mitchell" was a bit ambiguous; even boys auditioned for the role.
  • One of Tori's costumes is owned by Carly Shay from iCarly.
  • In "Sleepover at Sikowitz's", she played a cop named "Officer Pedesco" who loved Raisin Bran cereal and in the end was the only who didn't break character. This is interesting, as Tori's father is a cop.
  • Tori has twice pretended to be someone else, Louise Nordoff in "Freak the Freak Out" and Crystal Waters in "Beck's Big Break". Both times, she was able to save her friends trapped in different situations: Jade and Cat for being cheated off in their singing contest and getting Beck's job back.
  • Another note is that Tori can also impersonate other people: Jade West in "Jade Gets Crushed" and Andre's grandmother in "The Bad Roommate".
    • Coincidentally, both times she impersonated them, she was helping André overcome his situations. She impersonated Jade to help André get over her and impersonated his grandmother to help him understand how it's like living with her.
  • She has a fear of doing stunts, as revealed in "Beck Falls for Tori".
  • In "Tori Gets Stuck" it was revealed she’s allergic to Bush Daisies.
    • It’s also revealed that she has an O- blood type.
  • Tori reveals in the crossover that she used to watch All That (a former show on Nickelodeon, and Dan Schneider's first show for the channel).
  • There’s a recurring gag on the show about her cheekbones, from people complimenting or commenting on them (Mrs. Lee, Ryder, Rex and Freddie) to asking her if they're real (Ke$ha). Tori's cheekbones are squeezed by Kenan Thompson during iParty with Victorious.
  • Tori is very skilled at ping pong, as seen in The Great Ping Pong Scam.
  • Tori wears glasses, but this wasn't revealed until she posted a video on TheSlap that showed her wearing glasses. She wore glasses in almost every scene at home in "Helen Back Again". Cat mentions in "Three Girls and a Moose" that Tori almost always wears her glasses when she is at home alone though it is unclear whether the glasses are corrective (and even then, they may just be for reading), a focusing tool or she wears them as props for her Slap videos.
    • It can be implied that she wears contacts.
  • Tori was initially terrible at playing musical instruments, such as the French horn ("Stage Fighting") and the piccolo ("Beck's Big Break"), but mastered the piano by the time of "Tori Goes Platinum".
  • Tori was the owner of a fish named Goldie from June 24, 2009 to July 22, 2011. She also used to have a hamster named Kevin, as established in "Terror on Cupcake Street".
  • Tori has owned a black ("Pilot" and possibly in "iParty with Victorious"), pink (Season 1), and blue (Season 2) Pear Phone.
  • While Tori was in Yerbanian prison, she presumably learned how to speak some limited Yerbanian because she spoke in a foreign language to one of the prisoners. ("Locked Up!")
  • She had two boyfriends in the series, the first being Ryder Daniels in "Beggin' on Your Knees" and Steven Carson on "iParty with Victorious".
    • An interesting note is that all of her boyfriends (Daniel, Ryder and Steven) have all been the main antagonists in their episodes, though Daniel himself didn’t appear to have malicious intentions towards Tori and shared the antagonist role with Jade.
  • She’s an Honor Student ("Terror on Cupcake Street").
  • Despite being a year younger than Trina, Tori is the taller of the two despite Trina's frequent wearing of heels.
  • Tori is considered to not take enough risks in The Gorilla Club, though the other five in the main group don't seem to take many, if any, risks when it comes to performing.
  • Tori doesn’t have a driver's license "like a normal teenage girl" as seen in "Driving Tori Crazy" and later in "Brain Squeezers". However, her parents tried to bribe her with a car in "Locked Up!".
  • Tori wears a pink watch in "Tori & Jade's Play Date", and a red watch in "How Trina Got In", both on her right arm, even though, like Victoria Justice, she is right handed.
    • There are people who wear their watches on their dominant hand, so it is possible Tori is one of those people.
  • Out of all the characters, she has the most fans on TheSlap, with over a million fans, possibly due to her performance at the Platinum Music Awards. This is somewhat ironic considering that she cared the least about getting more followers in The Slap Fight.
  • Jade's number is blocked on her phone (as mentioned in "Robarazzi").
  • She has kissed every boy in the show, with the exception of André.
  • Tori has shown her stomach more times than any other girl in the show, such as in shorts and a tied tank top ("Survival of the Hottest"), white jeans and a black/gold tank top ("Freak the Freak Out"), briefly in black jeans and a red sequin tank top (Locked Up!), skinny jeans and a purple rose t-shirt ("The Breakfast Bunch"), low-rise sweatpants and a pink lace-up top ("The Gorilla Club"), a magenta tank top and matching lace top ("The Worst Couple"), and a pink sequin crop top with floral jeans ("Tori Fixes Beck and Jade").
  • Tori hates being swayed by Trina in "Freak the Freak Out".
  • As stated in "iParty with Victorious", Tori bears an uncanny resemblance to Shelby Marx (a character Victoria Justice portrayed on iCarly before Victorious first aired), though Freddie noted Tori was "waaay hotter" than Shelby.
    • The iCarly episode "iStart a Fanwar" featured Stacey Dillsen, a character from Zoey 101, which means that Tori has another doppelgänger in the form of Lola Martinez.
  • Tori is the only main character to never have a flashback episode (the rest of the gang appeared in one in "The Great Ping Pong Scam" and Trina had one in "How Trina Got In") leading her to be the character whose past is the least known. Her first scene (and frequent signs of higher intelligence) implies that she may have been interested in the sciences before coming to Hollywood Arts.
  • As the protagonist, Tori made a big impact throughout the show. Had Tori not attended Trina's showcase and not gotten into Hollywood Arts, Beck and Jade would have broken up forever in "Jade Dumps Beck", the gang would have been arrested in the "The Great Ping Pong Scam", the gang would have been banned from Karaoke Dokie in "Freak the Freak Out", André's musical career would have ended in "The Diddly-Bops", Jade's play in "Wok Star" would never have been produced, Ryder Daniels would never have been exposed, and Robbie would likely have died due to the events of "Tori Gets Stuck".
  • In "The Breakfast Bunch", Tori bemoans that she has never had detention before. However, in "Stage Fighting" she received 2 weeks of detention for "hitting" Jade. Either she got out of that punishment or the former episode is considered non-canon.
  • As seen in several episodes, Tori gets along better with her parents than Trina does.
  • "Cat's New Boyfriend" establishes that Tori doesn’t like wearing skirts over jeans, something Victoria Justice's character, Lola Martinez, infrequently did in Season 2 of Zoey 101. Likewise, in a TheSlap post, Tori was annoyed by Trina practicing her scream for three days and cheered when she (Trina) lost her voice, events that happened to Lola in the Zoey 101 episode "Quarantine."
  • Tori's backstory seems to hybridize elements of Lola and Zoey's from Zoey 101. She is the newest, most talented, and viewed by the school at large as the most attractive member of the group, and played by Victoria Justice (Lola) while also being a perpetually happy girl that everyone goes to for advice and help (Zoey).
  • Tori is the only known student at Hollywood Arts to have been invited to attend rather than having auditioned for her spot, although her performance at the showcase could have been considered by the school to be an unofficial audition, making an official one unnecessary.
  • Tori Vega talks like a valley girl like Kim Kardashian. Mostly when jade imitates Tori jade sounds likes Scarlett O’Hara in the south. Jade was going to imitate Tori she should use a valley girl accent like Kim Kardashian.
