Changes: Tiny Tina

Revision as of 02:19, 19 October 2012

Tiny Tina is a deranged thirteen-year-old explosives expert. She was revealed on February 21, 2012, in the Borderlands 2 Launch Date Trailer.

Involvement

Tiny Tina's demolitions expertise are called into action when a Hyperion supply train believed to be carrying a vault key needs to be stopped. With that objective in sight, she then sets the Vault Hunters to the task of finding two rockets to carry a 'suicide'-bomber toy each, and then to set them on target.

Her collaboration with the Vault Hunters continues when she has them gather items and guests for a very special tea party.

Notes

Tina and Roland photo — The photo of Tina and Roland.

She is introduced as an old friend of Roland 's and she has a picture of them together in her room. Roland also mentions beforehand that, "[he] has saved her life many times, and she has saved [his]."
Flesh-Stick sold her parents to Hyperion as test subjects for Jack's slag mutation experiments, leading to their deaths. Her mother managed to convince Tina to hide a grenade in her dress, which was used in her escape.

Trivia

Her voice is done by Ashly Burch, sister of Anthony Burch - Lead writer of Borderlands 2. (The two are also a part of the web series Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'?.) She is also credited with the voice of the cursed gun, Bane.
Roland recognizes her as one of the greatest demolitions experts on Pandora and a picture of the two can be seen inside of her home.
Tiny Tina is mentioned by Brick on a mission in Sawtooth Cauldron as he recalls carrying her on his shoulders as they fought together. In the end credits, it is shown that they worked together again in this manner cleaning out the remaining Hyperion forces.
She sometimes starts singing the "Baby Finn Song" song from "Adventure Time".
Tina seems use several verbal mannerisms, often at random. They include a stereotypical Black American speech pattern, little girl speech patterns, stereotypically pretentious British English speech, to randomly violent and murderous speech similar to Psychos, and others.

-*She is an obvious reference to the [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/My_Little_Pony_Friendship_is_Magic_Wiki My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] character [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Pinkie_Pie Pinkie Pie's] alternate personaltity [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Pinkie_Pie Pinkamena Diane Pie (see "Insecurity" in the link)] . This is noticeable mainly through her tendency to have parties with inanimate objects (not just spawned by a typical overactive imagination), her violent speech patterns, and her general apathy towards everything and everyone. Also, since pink is her favourite colour, it just makes the reference (intentional or not (though I'm leaning towards the former)) more noticable.
