Tina Blake (Katharine Isabelle) is a minor villainess from the 2002 movie Carrie.
She is a cruel bully who is best friends with the evil Chris Hargensen.
At the start of the movie the girls are playing softball outside, with bullies Tina and Chris being particularly mean to Carrie. As the softball session ends, Tina hits Carrie on the head, and Chris tells her that she sucks.
Inside the girl’s locker room afterwards, Tina notices Carrie going through her first period and freaking out about it. Rather than just ignoring it, she gleefully tells Chris and some of the other girls, who all run over to the scene and laugh and taunt Carrie about it. Carrie is then temporarily saved from the torment by the gym teacher, Miss Desjarden. On the way back to her locker in the hallway, Carrie finds it vandalised with someone writing “PLUG IT UP” on it. She goes to open it and a bunch of tampons fall out from it, which causes laughter from everyone in the hallway, including Tina and Chris, who seem to have been the ones responsible for the cruel prank.
A couple of days later Miss Desjarden angrily bursts in to the girls’ locker room and condemns their bullying of Carrie, and the locker prank they committed. She tells them that they have an intense gym detention session with her for a week, and that anyone who doesn’t turn up will be banned from the upcoming prom.
Chris gets herself banned from prom after refusing detention. Carrie is asked to the prom by Tommy Ross, who is doing so because his girlfriend Sue asked him to, feeling bad about the bullying Carrie went through and wanted Carrie to feel something positive. Tina finds out about this and can’t wait to tell Chris, who puts her devious mind to work and decides to come up with a plan to humiliate Carrie at the prom. Tina is involved with this evil plan, as she replaces the prom king and queen votes with fake ones that are rigged so that Carrie and Tommy end up winning. This is done so that when Carrie gets on stage to be crowned queen, Chris can pour a bucket of pig’s blood on top of her and humiliate her in front of everyone.
At the prom, Carrie and Tommy get called up on to the stage as winners, thanks to Chris and Tina’s villainous scheming. Chris pulls on the rope which causes the bucket to drench Carrie with blood. The majority of the room is stunned into silence by what happens, except for evil Tina, who absolutely loves Carrie’s humiliation and laughs at her. The bucket then falls and cracks Tommy on the head and kills him, which Tina also finds hilarious.
Carrie, enraged by her humiliation and the mocking afterwards, uses telekinesis to trap everyone remaining inside the school. She then manipulates things around her to strike, electrocute and burn everyone inside to death. During this scene, Tina hits people who get in her way as she tries to flee the dangerous situation. Carrie causes a basketball board to knock evil Tina to the ground, and then makes it land on top of her, crushing her, and killing her.
