Main characters

Tori Vega

Victoria "Tori" Vega (portrayed by Victoria Justice) is a sophomore and the younger sister of Trina Vega and attends Hollywood Arts, a performing arts high school, along with her.

When Trina experiences an allergic reaction to a Chinese herb gargle to try to make her voice sound better, Trina's tongue gets swollen right before a big showcase at school. She is volunteered by Andre Harris to take her place, since she knew how the piece was meant to be performed as well as all the lyrics. Tori performs "Make It Shine", which is the theme song, and everyone is impressed with her performance, including Principal Eikner, who offers her an enrollment to the school. She accepts it and is admitted to Hollywood Arts. Initially feeling out of place at Hollywood Arts, Tori makes new friends and becomes more comfortable. From there, the show details Tori's journey through school as she gets into unusual situations have differences and adventures with her friends.

Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with List, Victorious and characters providing the first useful test.
