Tina Rex

Tina Rex is a supporting character in The Amazing World of Gumball. Tina Rex, as suggested by her name, is a tyrannosaurus rex. She is the fearsome bully of Elmore Junior High.

Appearance
Tina is a large and extremely fearsome tyrannosaurus. Unlike her father, Tina has a more realistic appearance, with an emotive face and an actual personality. Tina is covered in thick, brownish-grey scales from head-to-tail. She has a huge mouth full of enormous, white carnivore teeth, and very noticeable halitosis.

Personality
Tina is the head bully at Elmore Junior High, and is likely one of the meanest and strongest, if not the meanest and strongest out of all of them. She regularly torments her underlings at school, such as Ocho and Anton, both of whom she can stomp on with great ease. Jamie is her best friend and her partner in crime, it could be said that while Tina has the muscle in the gang, Jamie is the one that goes for the position of insulting people.

Tina lives in The Junkyard with her father, which suggests that they are either far too gigantic or underprivileged to stay in a regular house. Tina has apparently never owned a toy before, and it can also be said that she has a sensitive side, since when Anais wanted her Daisy the Donkey plushie back from her, she decided to give her to Tina, who needed it much more than Anais did anyway. It has also been said that Tina bullies others due to the lack of recognizion for her feminity.

Gumball
Tina frequently torments Gumball. This is prominently shown in "The Fight". She chases Gumball throughout the school in the episode, ending with Gumball getting injured due to a fall. When Nicole confronts Tina's father at the end of the episode, Tina tells Gumball that she does all those things to him because she was just having fun.
