Who doesn't love Borderlands 3? It's by far one of the best co-op games out there for players to run and gun in. The game features tons of jokes and plenty of DLC to play through. Anyone that picks up the FPS will have lots of gameplay to enjoy for a long time.
Tiny Tina has been a fan-favorite character since Borderlands 2 and it's not hard to see why. Her over-the-top actions and wild attitude are incredibly entertaining, not to mention her wicked one-liners. Still, there's more to this 13-year-old explosive expert (who's now 19 to be fair) than meets the eye.
10 Her Deeper Emotional Side
With all of her wacky antics that border on mania, it might be hard to see that Tiny Tina is capable of being quite serious. Originally, players were going to have to tell Tiny Tina of Roland's death in person but this was eventually cut.
Anthony Burch, the lead writer for the game, has stated his sadness over the moment not being included in the game. However, the voice clips from this encounter are still available to listen to here.
9 Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'?
Anthony Burch's sister, Ashly Burch, voices Tiny Tina in the game. The two Burch siblings have also appeared together on the YouTube channel Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'? which is sometimes known as HAWP to fans. There is a small reference to the channel in the game that players may have missed
Players that look on the back of Tiny Tina's bus might notice a pixel drawing of someone riding a unicorn. This is actually their father, Papa Burch, and is a reference to the episode Sleep Is Death from the channel.
8 Her Crumpet Obsession
It can be easy to miss small voice lines sometimes, even the hilarious kind that Tiny Tina seems to spout every other moment. So players might have missed Tiny Tina's almost troubling obsession with crumpets.
What is a crumpet? In Tiny Tina's own words, "It is a griddle cake made from flour and yeast, traditionally eaten with butter." Everyone has a favorite food they like to eat but Tiny Tina says these are literally the only thing she eats at all on several occasions. There's no way this can be healthy, right?
7 Glitchy Exotropia
Ever noticed Tiny Tina's lazy eye? Sometimes, Tina's eye will completely turn to the right in Borderlands 2 and a lot of fans don't know that this was due to a glitch in the game.
The developers loved it so much and thought it fit Tina's personality perfectly so instead of fixing it, they left the glitch in the game. Her eye still twitches awkwardly sometimes in Borderlands 3, referencing her glitch induced exotropia.
6 Her Sapphic Side
Tiny Tina confesses to liking Maya during the Assault on Dragon Keep and originally was only going to train players to help Mad Moxxi because she had a major crush on her. Plus, it's hard to ignore all the saucy comments she makes to the ladies that attend her tea party.
Despite Anthony Burch confirming he wrote Tina to be a lesbian character, she has been shown to have bisexual tendencies in the latest game. When discussing her exes, Tina mentions having an ex-boyfriend as well. Everyone is allowed to explore and grow and it's cool that Tiny Tina is an LGBT gaming icon.
5 She Shares A Voice Actor With A Gun
While it's hard to deny how much damage the unique sub-machine gun Bane can put out, its annoying "special voice module" is enough to drive most players bonkers. Even the subtitles sometimes describe it as making [annoying sounds] when the player fires it.
Most players don't realize that Ashly Burch, who voices the gun, also voices Tiny Tina. With how wacky they both are it certainly makes sense once it's pointed out. How often is a gun voice-acted anyway?
4 Her Parents ARE Dead
This one might sound weird but hear us out. There has been a popular fan theory that Krieg is actually Tiny Tina's father. The two share a love of explosives which can't be denied. It's also stated that Krieg is "property" of Hyperion and his inner voice has said, "Where is she? Is she still alive? Did she get away?" which fans believe is a reference to Tina's escape.
Sorry fans, Tina's parents are dead. Many fans still believe this theory despite it being confirmed by the developers that this is not the case. The dev team keeps making nods to the possibility of Kreig being her dad but at this point, it might just be to tease the game's fans.
3 What Are Pronouns?
Tiny Tina holds a unique distinction in the game for being the only character to still call players "girl" even if they are playing as a male.
While this can be a common turn of phrase, it is still unique mechanically in the game. Some players might even mistakenly believe that this could be a glitch.
2 Tiny Tina's Wedding
Who hasn't scammed loads of people with a fake wedding? Come on now, don't be judgemental! Players can find ECHOlogs in Devil's Razor that talk about a "wedding" Tina participated in.
Tina has dated multiple people and wanted to scam all of her exes out of wedding presents for the fake event. Therefore, she hosted a fake wedding and sold all of the gifts for a tidy profit.
1 Her Twitter Escapades
That's right, Tiny Tina is on Twitter. Or more accurately, she was once. In May 2013, Tiny Tina took over @ECHOcasts for a while and made a series of hilarious Tweets. These included claiming she was releasing a music album, calling loads of people hot, and of course, counting to three.
This was part of a special promotion for Borderlands 2's Assault on Dragon Keep DLC. It was a fun moment that allowed fans to interact with this beloved character. Hopefully, Tiny Tina will return to Twitter again someday.
