Tina Belcher

Tina Ruth Belcher, also known as Tina Belcher, is one of the main characters from the Bob's Burgers series.
== Charactah Account ==
Bob and Linda's 13-year-old and incredibly awkward oldest daughter, Tina has three major passions: horses, boys, and erotic friend-fiction. Unfortunately for Tina, her various attempts to get the attention of the opposite gender almost always fail spectacularly—especially when it comes to her biggest crush, Jimmy Pesto Jr., who just never seems to get the hint. Despite being the oldest, Tina is almost always a follower instead of a leader and goes along with her siblings' plans without much question.
Tina's personality is a quirky "every-girl" transitioning from childhood to adolescence. The child in her still clings to her love for horses, rainbows, and zombies, but the inner teenager in her calls her to fantasize about zombies making out, and writing her feelings/activities in her diary. She also writes erotic fiction about her friends, acquaintances, and other people's works, and she constantly thinks about her primary crush, Jimmy Pesto, Jr.. Tina develops fleeting infatuations on anyone she deems cute--including an entire baseball team of twenty-five.

== Trivia ==
* The name Tina means "river" in Old English.
* Tina is the first character to have their middle name revealed.
* In the early production days of Bob's Burgers, Tina was originally a boy named Daniel, named after Dan Mintz. Later on, however, the staff felt like it wouldn't work, so they changed the sex of the character and gave the character a new name: Tina (though Mintz could still voice Tina as the producers thought Mintz's voice acting could pass for an awkward teenager).
** Unlike many siblings on TV ("both animated and Live Action") the Belcher children are shown to get along very well, often shown to be each other's go-to playmates and confidants.
* Tina can tie a banana peel into a bow in her mouth with her tongue. 
* Tina has size 8½ feet.
* Tina is left-handed in most episodes, including "Bad Tina" and "Midday Run" where she can be seen writing her erotic friend fiction and the hall monitor log with her left hand respectively. In "The Frond Files" and "Sit Me Baby One More Time" she is playing a left-handed guitar.
* Tina used to be a thumb sucker and the series implies that she wore braces.
* Tina writes everything in her diary, which is often read by Louise and Gene. Linda also skims it to make sure Tina is not on drugs.
* Tina participated in the ice bucket challenge to raise money for ALS research. She nominated Paul Rudd, Chris Harrison, and Scott Van Slyke from the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team because she says, "all of whom would look good in a wet t-shirt." Paul Rudd later voices Jericho, her imaginary horse friend in "The Horse Rider-er."

* Tina's favorite flowers are Gardenias.
* Tina claims to have a "Photographic butt memory".
* In "Crawl Space," Tina states that Bob let her watch Night of the Living Dead when was eight years old, and a running gag has Tina thrashing in her sleep due to her strange dreams of zombies and kissing. Tina believes her sub-conscience and her budding sexuality are the main cause.

* Tina hasn't had a new pair of glasses since she was six years old up until the episode "Boys Just Wanna Have Fungus".
* In the Bob's Burgers comic issue "Pan Fried," the story 'The Makeup' reveals Tina's eye color is blue.
** Also seeing the fact that both Bob and Gene's eye colors are brown, this mean that Tina inherited her eye color from her mother.

* Tina's Central Park counterpart is Molly Tillerman as both are: Boy crazy, having a stalker personality, both have a crush on a certain boy of their respective series and both have a artistic side.
