Trina Vega is one of the eight main characters in the series and Tori Vega's older sister. She is a senior at Hollywood Arts, a year ahead of Tori.
Trina believes she is the most talented student at Hollywood Arts, despite everyone around her — including her parents — considering her completely talentless. Her questionable acceptance into the school is even explored in the episode "How Trina Got In." Most of the other characters find her insufferable and annoying due to her inflated ego.
Trina is portrayed by Daniella Monet.
Personality[edit | edit source]
Although Trina typically has good intentions and genuinely loves and cares for Tori, she is often selfish, spoiled, egotistical, narcissistic, and arrogant, believing that stardom is her destiny. While she behaves like an A-list star, her actual talent is more comparable to a D-list performer. Her acceptance into Hollywood Arts is revealed in "How Trina Got In" to be due to Sikowitz's hallucinations from drinking rotten coconut milk, rather than any talent on her part. However, she is shown in one episode to be a martial arts genius, suggesting she does have some talent but refuses to recognize or develop it. Tori's posts on The Slap also mention that Trina can sing, further implying that her inflated ego is her greatest hindrance.
Trina’s selfish nature is evident in the episode "Survival of the Hottest" when she refuses to share her water while trapped in Beck's RV and blames the others for inviting her, even though she had invited herself. While Trina can be likable, she is often difficult to get along with.
She once wrote a play that was reviewed by Robbie as a comedy instead of a regular play, and ironically, it was well-received because of its unintended humor. Her ungrateful side is showcased in "The Birthweek Song" when she dismisses a heartfelt song Tori sings for her birthday because it didn't cost money, much to the disappointment of Tori and André, who wrote the song. In "Wi-Fi in the Sky," she proves to be annoying when she persistently bothers Perez Hilton after stealing his camera. Although she sees herself as popular, most of the show depicts the opposite.
In "Survival of the Hottest," she invites herself on a beach trip that Tori and her friends are planning, despite everyone (including Tori) protesting. When they are later trapped in Beck's RV, she complains, asking why they invited her, to which everyone angrily reminds her that she was never invited, and Jade even yells, "No one likes you!" at her twice.
In "Freak the Freak Out," she schedules a date with Mark McCallan but doesn't arrange one for Tori. On the same day, she has to have her wisdom teeth removed, and afterward, she constantly moans in pain and refuses to take her medication or follow any post-surgery care instructions, leading to constant arguments with Tori. She also always makes Tori answer the door, regardless of circumstances.
Despite their conflicts, Trina genuinely cares for Tori. In "Tori the Zombie," Trina gets angry at Cat for accidentally gluing Tori's face and drives for hours to get the solvent, though she is sidetracked multiple times. In "Beggin' on Your Knees," she warns Tori to be careful with Ryder Daniels, who has a reputation for dating and dumping girls, even advising her to snoop through his messages. She shows concern for Tori in "Tori Gets Stuck" and is visibly furious when Tori is unfairly imprisoned in "Locked Up!" demanding her release. In "Helen Back Again," when she believes Tori might be expelled from Hollywood Arts, Trina offers to share some of her "talent" to help her stay.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Pilot[edit | edit source]
In the pilot episode, Trina Vega is upset that her partner for the annual showcase at Hollywood Arts High School is André Harris, a tenth grader. She is worried because the showcase will have important talent scouts and music industry professionals in attendance. Determined to put on a good performance, Trina kicks Tori's project partner Ian out and insists that Tori and André help her with the song she plans to perform, "Make It Shine." During rehearsals, Tori and André form a close friendship, despite Trina’s overbearing nature. On the day of the showcase, Trina drinks a Chinese Herb Gargle to help her sing better, but it causes her tongue to swell up.
Backstage, André suggests that Tori should replace Trina since she knows the song from helping with rehearsals. Initially reluctant, Tori is eventually persuaded to take the stage. She performs successfully, impressing everyone, including Trina. Later, Trina accompanies Tori on her first day at Hollywood Arts but soon abandons her to socialize with friends. When Tori considers dropping out, Trina encourages her to stay, complimenting her performance at the showcase, although she insists she would have been "amazing" herself.
"The Bird Scene"[edit | edit source]
In "The Bird Scene," Tori and Trina eagerly look at the play roster for the new semester. André encourages Tori to audition for the lead in "Moonlight Magic," a play they had worked on together, but Trina, doubting Tori's acting abilities, questions whether she should take on such a prominent role.
"Stage Fighting"[edit | edit source]
In "Stage Fighting," Trina auditions for a World War II play with Robbie Shapiro, leading Robbie to develop feelings for her. The audition includes a stage kiss, which Robbie mistakenly interprets as genuine. Believing they have mutual feelings, Robbie kisses Trina at lunch, causing her to spit skim milk in his face in shock. Robbie repeatedly approaches Trina, who continuously rejects him. Frustrated, Cat explains to Robbie that a stage kiss does not mean a real romantic interest and demonstrates by kissing him herself, shifting Robbie's focus to her instead.
"The Birthweek Song"[edit | edit source]
In "The Birthweek Song," Trina is eagerly anticipating her "birthweek," a week-long celebration of her birthday, as she believes a single day is not sufficient. Tori struggles to find a present for Trina, whose tastes and expectations are high. After several failed attempts to get Trina the perfect gift, André suggests Tori write and perform a song for Trina. On the day of the celebration, Tori sings "You're the Reason" as a heartfelt gift. Although Trina initially hugs Tori in appreciation, she soon asks where her actual present is, frustrating Tori. When Trina continues to dismiss the song as a meaningful gift, Tori angrily clarifies that the song itself was her present.
Later, Trina sells the song to her friend's uncle, who owns a record label, and uses the money to buy herself a hat, which she considers Tori's gift to her. Furious, Tori retaliates by giving Trina coffee that had been thrown away by Jade. When Trina attempts to record the song professionally, the producers realize she isn’t the original vocalist. Trina brings Tori and André to the studio to solve the problem. While Tori is recording, the producers receive a call that Beyoncé is interested in the song, and they leave Tori, André, and Trina alone in the dark studio.
"Tori the Zombie"[edit | edit source]
In "Tori the Zombie," Tori tries to scare Trina with monster makeup, but Trina is unimpressed. Trina realizes that the glue used by Cat to apply the makeup is industrial-grade and not safe for skin. Despite efforts to remove the makeup, it won't come off. Trina calls a doctor, and Cat contacts the glue company. The doctor offers no solution, but the glue company informs them that the solvent is only available at a factory in Bakersfield.
Trina and Cat agree to drive to Bakersfield to retrieve the solvent, but they face several delays, including being stopped by the police and making an unnecessary stop for ice cream, which aggravates Tori, who is waiting for them to return. Eventually, Tori has to start her play with the monster makeup on. During the performance, Trina and Cat signal Tori to come offstage, and they use fiddling knives and the solvent to scrape the mask off her face. The plan works, and Tori finishes her performance. This episode also marks the beginning of a friendship between Trina and Cat, which continues in future episodes.
"Survival of the Hottest"[edit | edit source]
In "Survival of the Hottest," a heatwave hits Los Angeles, prompting the students at Hollywood Arts to seek relief. Beck suggests going to Venice Beach in his Airstream RV.

Climbing over Tori to get to the aisle, Trina unwittingly gives Beck and André, who are on a webcam, an embarrassing view, prompting them to shout in alarm.
After returning from the restroom, the boy teasingly calls Trina a "freak," but also "hot," though he thinks Tori is hotter. Trina then reveals she saw Perez Hilton in first class and took his camera to "return" it, hoping this act will get her featured on his blog and make her famous.

Robbie pays Trina $50 to use the fish on his feet as well, and soon he also begins receiving attention for his smooth feet. André, Beck, and Jade all follow suit, undergoing the treatment at the Vega household.
