In Shiva's [[Ethan Yeager in Lawndale]] and [http://thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=610619#p610619 The Popular Girl Speaks] Tori has a carefully hidden intelligent side and at times borders on omnicapability, and is the niece of Dallas Grimes in the former; in a Random Pairing [[Iron Chef]] challenge, [[Princess Pasta]] paired Tori up with [[Ronnie]] in [http://thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=729040#p729040 To Each Their Own] and has the girl depressed everyone ignores her outside of her looks and gossip;
