Tootie likes Timmy because he was forced to be nice to her one time and she was so lonely that she held onto that kindness like a lifeboat even if it wasn’t genuine. 

She likes romance novels and heavy metal.

She’s heteroromantic ace and trans. And super monogamous. When Cupid’s soldier pricked her that moment with Timmy, that was it for her romantically, but she still develops queerplatonic feelings for others.

She and Sanjay bonded over their shared unrequited feelings for Timmy and became lifelong friends.

She’s a bit of a daddy’s girl despite her mom really wanting to make Tootie her mini me. 

When Tootie came out as a girl, Nicky saw her as a second chance to have the daughter she wanted. Her dad, who I call Todd, needed time to adjust his attitude/approach to parenting to realize that he could and should be an active parent in his children’s lives regardless of gender, but once he did he got on board with the change pretty quickly.

She’s the favorite and that’s part of why Vicky resents her. (Other reason being that their father hadn’t realized that his absence from his daughters’ lives hurts them until it could impact Tootie.) 

Despite this, Vicky is often the one put in charge of driving her places like Ballet practice, specifically to punish Vicky and in hopes that Vicky will become responsible by having to take care of her. It doesn’t work. It just puts her under her sister’s control.

Vicky’s tomboyishness has rubbed off on her by making her a bit of an athlete, specifically she’s extremely good at DDR because it’s one of the games that Vicky’s willing to let her play when they go to the arcade together.

She’s also knows how to climb around a skatepark. Vicky does not let her use her skateboard and their parents aren’t willing to buy more than one.

She loves stealing Vicky’s makeup. Vicky tolerates this. 

She has a complicated relationship with Trixie Tang because she looks up to her like everyone does, especially girls, since she saw Trixie as the pinnacle of femininity to aspire to (tad ironic because, in my headcanon, Trixie is transmasculine), but since Tootie’s got no friends at school, she’s a loser in the popular kids’ eyes and Trixie plays into it despite having private reservations about treating others poorly. Tootie wants to just admire Trixie from afar where Trixie’s rich kid cruelty doesn’t negatively impact her directly and make her feelings for her idol more mixed than unequivocally positive. 

When they become metamors as teens, Tootie is glad to see a kinder side of the Tang.
