Trina and Mina

This page is about the interactions between Trina Riffin and Mina Beff. Mina thinks of herself as Trina's best friend (or BFF), but in reality she is more like Trina's slave. She obediently carries out Trina's every command, in an attempt to get on her good side, and is frequently terrified by Trina. On rare occasion Mina has shown to be fed up by Trina and has stood up to her, but for the most Trina puts Mina in her place. In addition, Mina also has a crush on Nick Mallory, who Trina is infatuated with, and hence Trina will often become bitterly jealous if there's any sign that Nick shows affection to Mina.
