Editing Tori Vega (section)

==Personality==
Tori Vega is a pleasant and positive individual known for her kindness, easy-going nature, and sense of humor. She's sweet, intelligent, and often shows more maturity and responsibility than her older sister. However, Tori can also be neurotic and impatient, and she sometimes experiences stress, though these reactions are usually justified. Despite her occasional bouts of frustration, she is always supportive and reliable when her friends need her. For instance, in the episode "Rex Dies," Tori pretends Rex is alive again to cheer up Robbie, and in "Jade Dumps Beck," she helps Jade and Beck reconcile. Even though it might seem like her friends, especially Jade, don’t always appreciate her, they genuinely care for her and reciprocate her support. This is evident when Beck performs a stunt for her in "Beck Falls for Tori," and when her friends help her win a private concert from Ke$ha to avoid being Trina’s assistant in "Ice Cream for Ke$ha."

At the start of the series, Tori is portrayed as insecure. In the pilot episode, despite earning a scholarship to Hollywood Arts, she doubts her acting abilities, needing to take the test in "The Bird Scene" three times before succeeding. As the series progresses, she grows more confident in her talents while maintaining her humility.

Tori also has a darker side that surfaces when dealing with people who deserve it. She exhibits hostility towards her sister Trina in several episodes, though these actions are often warranted. Tori’s occasional moments of hostility suggest that she has the potential to be as callous as Jade, if not more so. However, she consciously avoids indulging these tendencies, aware of the person she might become if she did.
Tori Vega is known for her charm and likability, drawing people in with her charisma and sensitivity. However, her tendency to think on her feet and succumb to peer pressure can sometimes get her into trouble, especially noticeable in the first season. For example, in the episode "Beck's Big Break," Tori’s actions inadvertently lead to Beck getting fired from his movie role. Fortunately, she makes amends, and Beck is reinstated. Another instance is her date with Ryder Daniels, where peer pressure from her sister Trina leads her to snoop through Ryder's phone, only to be caught by him. She eventually learns that Ryder was using her to boost his grades. These incidents highlight Tori's desire for others to see her as a perfect problem-solver, admired by everyone.
Tori’s compassionate nature significantly influences her interactions with those around her. Unlike others who may be less forgiving, Tori has a soft spot for people in distress and is quick to show care and empathy. This is evident in the episode "Survival of the Hottest," where she notices Sinjin face down in a kiddie pool and quickly turns him over to ensure he’s safe. Her quick thinking and genuine concern for others often shine through, revealing her true character.

Unlike her older sister Trina, Tori Vega is portrayed as much more mature and level-headed. She generally approaches situations with a calm and neutral mindset. This contrast in maturity is highlighted in the episode "Wi-Fi in the Sky," where Tori’s composed demeanor starkly contrasts with Trina's volatile and easily annoyed behavior. In this episode, Trina’s frustration escalates to the point where she nearly lashes out at a young boy behind her.

However, Tori's maturity is momentarily challenged in the episode "Cat's New Boyfriend" when she briefly reacts to seeing Daniel and Cat kiss. Despite this, both Tori and Daniel clarify that jealousy is not an emotion Tori usually experiences, affirming her level-headedness. Similarly, in "Victori-Yes," Tori explicitly states she isn’t jealous of Trina appearing on what she initially believes to be a "high-quality television" show.

Several episodes suggest that Tori is more intelligent than she appears. She frequently demonstrates quick problem-solving skills, as seen in episodes like "The Great Ping Pong Scam," "The Diddly-Bops," and "Locked Up!" Tori also manages to organize complex productions within a short time frame in episodes like "Wok Star" and "Prom Wrecker." Additionally, Tori speaks multiple languages (shown in "The Wood," "Locked Up!," and "Tori Tortures Teacher") and has the ability to learn and master dance routines simply by watching, as seen in the "Pilot" and "The Gorilla Club." These abilities imply that Tori might be the intellectually sharpest member of her group, which could explain her success on "Brain Squeezers." Notably, in the episode "A Film by Dale Squires," when Tori is not in charge of the group's scheme, their plan fails spectacularly, underscoring her role as the de facto leader and problem-solver.
Tori Vega, like her sister Trina, often proves to be much stronger than she appears. This is evident in the episode "Freak the Freak Out," where Tori manages to restrain the notably strong Trina by herself—a task that André, Beck, Robbie, and later Hayley and Tara, struggle with. Furthermore, in "Stage Fighting," Jade's plan relies on Tori's belief in her own strength, as she thinks she can give someone a black eye with a single punch. Tori also shows remarkable resilience, quickly recovering from various physical challenges: being punched by Cat in "Cat's New Boyfriend," sustaining injuries at The Gorilla Club, being electrocuted by her phone connected to a car battery in "The Worst Couple," and being dragged across a field by a dog in "Star Spangled Tori."
Despite being relatively new to Hollywood Arts, Tori is arguably the most dedicated to the performing arts. She eagerly embraces opportunities and challenges that her friends often approach with only mild interest. In episodes like "The Wood," "Beck Falls for Tori," and "Tori Goes Platinum," Tori's enthusiasm and commitment to her craft stand in stark contrast to the complacency of her peers, as seen in "The Gorilla Club." Her determination is evident as she continually strives to improve and seize opportunities. Even when she initially loses the Platinum Music Awards, Tori's resolve remains unshaken.

Her dedication also shines through in her willingness to support others. In "The Diddly-Bops," she persuades André to give his dream another chance after he considers giving up. When Sikowitz is depressed, Tori makes a significant effort to cheer him up, believing she caused his sadness. She also bravely navigates a rough neighborhood alone in "Terror on Cupcake Street." Moreover, in "The Slap Fight," Tori is the only one who recognizes the triviality of everyone's obsession with gaining more followers and their neglect of an important project, demonstrating her maturity and focus.
