Victorious Analysis: Trina Vega

[@JayniacJr]

As some of you may have noticed, I wrongfully cited "Helen Back Again" as the episode where we discover how Trina got in. The actual episode where we discover how Trina got in is appropriately titled "How Trina Got In". I'd also like to mention the fact that Ryder Daniels only appeared in the episode "Beggin' on Your Knees", NOT "Freak The Freak Out" I done goofed!!! Anyway, stay safe and please take care of yourselves!

This video was interesting. To the note as to “why Tori knew all the lyrics and choreography” when she filled in for Trina. In the first episode titled “Pilot” Trina interrupts Toris science project and tells Tori she has to help figure out Trinas routine. Afterward as they transition to the showcase Tori posts a status update that reads: “5 DAYS helping Trina and Andre rehearse. Trina’s driving me INSANE!” This is why she knew the routine perfectly.

I think Trina acts the way she does is because she wants someone to talk to, since no one likes her at home, and when she starts talking to someone, she has so much that she wants to say and ends up annoying them without realizing it. And even after she annoys them one day, she wants to try again at talking to them and it becomes a cycle where she becomes the person everyone wants to avoid.

mel Some were mentioned in the video, but Trina did drop everything to try to get the solvent to get the grizzly glue off of tori’s face. She does try to get tori out of prison. Yes sikowitz goes with her, but while they were escorted out, sikowitz says he wants a sandwich, and Trina is shocked that that is what he cares about and not tori. It’s a small thing but it shows she genuinely cares. And the talk she had with tori in Helen back again, it was very self centered and arrogant but here’s the thing: if you look past the arrogance, it’s actually really sweet what she’s saying. Yea she is a jerk sometimes but that’s a normal sibling thing. Tori is just a jerk to Trina.

[@MichielBLKorte]

So imagine you attend an amazing school where everyone constantly bullies you and reminds you that you are the least talented person there. You aspire to show them all during the Showcase. However, you get sick and can’t perform. Your little sister takes the spot, everyone loves her and she is automatically accepted into school. She is instantly more popular, yet you feel no spite or jealousy and support her and her group of friends. For your birthweek, the one week that’s all about you, your sister invites HER friends to watch HER sing a song someone else wrote to show of how much of a superior singer she is. You try to turn it into a business venture but when it backfires you come around and let your sister improve her career by taking the spotlight in the studio. And you’re called the worst character. Trina got Tori that career boost and is the only character that actually is ambitious and works hard. While the other characters are doing karaoke in sushi bars, Trina writes, acts and produces a musical BY HERSELF. She is the only character that’s kind to Sinjin (Tori, André and Beck find him weird, Jade bullies him and Cat golddigs him). When offered the role of assistant (2d place) in his show, does she scuff and say it’s beneath her? No! She makes the most of it and recognises that you need to start at the bottom of the industry, while aspiring to be on top. The same is true for that commercial in Mexico (with the cheese and the mice). It’s ridiculous but she does it anyway to be able to call herself a professional actress. She is also the only one who invests in headshots to get roles. Her hard work is in direct contrast to Tori, who after years in theater classes doesn’t even know what an understudy is. Trina does. She has been an understudy for Tori since birth. Trina is the best character.

As a matter of a fact, she seems kinda taken-aback by it, n her response seems very humble. To me, this implies that her current attitude is (most likely) a product of her environment n the ridicule she receives from her peers, n not only that, but her initial shock at the compliment makes it seem like she never rlly received this praise from her family.

Now imagine the shy, timid, girl from "How Trina got in" having to do that scene. I could very easily be THE instigating event that causes the change in Trina's behaviour, either as lesson taken too far or as a validation of an unhealthy coping mechanism. Tbh, I would hope the young Trina would have been TOO shy and quiet to ask if the scene was okay, because the alternative feels very damaging to say the least.

10:09 The impulsive/impatient argument is actually kind of invalid. In the episode, Tori says something along the lines of how Trina has been wanting the shoes since forever. When Trina comes home with the shoes, she mentions that she got them on sale.

Also whenever she’s around, Jade openly always tells her “No one likes you!” to let her and make sure that she knows. Also, in the episode where Tori and her friends are going to Yerba, Trina and Tori’s parents force tori to take Trina with Tori and her friends. They don’t even want Trina to come back.

Despite everything, Trina is a young girl. Having practically no friends, no social life, getting no attention from parents, and being constantly told you're bad at what you love or that no one likes you will have at least long-lasting damage to your mental health. I never thought about it that way until I came across this video, but now I feel really bad for Trina.

[@thunderlightningbolt6597]

When you think about it. Trina has a really sad life. Her parents don't care about her, she has no friends, she only got into Hollywood Arts is because a teacher got high on coconut juice. It's truly sad.

I've always found Trina and Tori's relationship interesting. I feel like, because Tori wants to "fit in" and because Trina doesn't (and supposedly never has) Tori felt the need to distance herself from her as to not suffer the same fate. Although the show is in no way perfect, it shows a pretty realistic sibling relationship where deep down you care about and would do anything for each other but in the day to day you poke fun and fight because you know as your family they'll (most likely) never stray. I would also like to add that because they have distant/neglectful parents and what seems to be barely any other family, Tori might also think it's better to group with others (her friends at Hollywood Arts) than just Trina because then even if one of the group distances themselves or leaves she won't be all alone but in doing this she is causing her sister immense pain. All in all, Trina deserves better.

[@emma_nutella58]

Imagine everyone hating you even your own family, I really Don’t blame Trina in how she acts

[@codonbyte]

That's an excellent point about the birthweek song. I think it's quite likely that Trina feels lasting resentment over the gift, which would have been exacerbated by her failure to perform the song for the music exec, and being forced to call Tori in to perform it instead. I hope some fan-fiction authors see this video and incorporate this into their work.

[@marijeflash]

Not to mention, the entire song is kind of negging her. "You might be crazy but it's fine cause I love you" is not a compliment, you just called your sister crazy. Furthermore, it's also largely about Tori herself, rather than about Trina. I can totally understand her not seeing the song as a gift.

[@ipiinsih3655]

@@marijeflash Ah yes, playfully teasing your sister is SO BAD WOW INHUMANE EVIL. The song was not about Tori insulting Trina in a "good" way, but it's how even though other people may see Trina as annoying or irritating, Tori loves her because she's her sister. There's even the lyrics "I don't even care when they say you're a little bit off, look me in the eye I say, I could never get enough"

[@MorinoEdits]

Thank you for noting that Trina's Gi in "Helen Back Again" and the fact while the show labels it as Karate, she's actually in uniform designated for Vovinam. Adding to that, in "Andre's Horrible Girl", she stealthily takes out a waitress from behind to don her uniform and get close to a music producer. The show clearly demonstrated that the students practice stunts and fight scenes (eg: Jade and Tori), Trina's character could've had a better path and overall development. Instead, they just dropped it after that episode and never brought it up again (until "How Trina Got In" which was a what-if scenario). Combining that with her dance skills (depending on the episode), it's clear she has coordination, some agility, and combat expertise. Compared to the other characters, Trina is the most physically talented. I will say after I'm sad after watching her Slap videos for the first time - there's no laugh track to minimize the potent silence as she reads the negative comments she gets on social media, or her detailing the story of getting ditched on a date.

[@taylorschott4659]

The fact that Trina was able to easily take down that waitress without making any noise makes me think that Trina would make a great marine or army ranger.

I feel like Trina is a pretty chill person to hang out with, when she's not bragging about her being the best I think that the rest of Tori's friends woud have noticed that if they weren't so focussed in telling Trina how bad she is and Trina not so focussed on defending herself And I thought Trina actually had a friend, in the first episode a girl comes to her telling her something like "This person has their hair like this" (I don't know it's been years since I watched the episode in Spanish) and the run off leaving Tori alone, but after that only scene I never saw anyone coming up to her as her friend

I always loved Trina 😭😭😭 I've noticed these behaviors among the people nobody liked in my classes (high school + college). Sometimes they were jerks, but it was clearly due to how cruelly everyone else treated them. Being kind to everyone will honestly give you some of the closest friends you will ever make. It's amazing how grateful some people for receiving basic human decency.

[@bun9762]

Being shunned by other people; being neglected by your own family; being told that no one likes you; getting insulted and humiliated; being treated with little patience, understanding, and compassion - I really don't know how Trina keeps the strength to always love and believe in herself after experiencing all of that constantly. Well I guess she is full of herself but I admire her confidence. Though she could be hurting inside but doesn't want to show it. She needs someone who will give her a chance and show her genuine care, patience, and guidance. People could've been more gentler with telling her criticism and actually helping her improve in talent and personality. Seeing those scenes now where everyone just doesn't want anything to do with her is pretty painful. I remember when I watched the show as a kid I hated Trina partly because of her ego but mostly because the show tells you to just hate her. And hating her is one of the running gags of the show? That's so sad. Imagine doing that irl, which I'm sure some people have done, and some people have experienced similar, if not the same, treatment towards them as Trina has. It's cruel. Also Tori's a jerk.
