Tina is a `turtle`. But what's a `turtle`? It's what's called an `object`. This means that a programmer has written some code that we can use to do cool things. In Tina's case, she knows how to go `forward`, `backward`, `left`, and `right` because the people who wrote the `turtle` object thought those would be neat things for turtles to do.
At the beginning of all of our examples, we `import turtle`. This lets us use code that's already been written and gives Tina and any other turtles we make their abilities.

You can give Tina a different name, and that newly named turtle will know how to do everything Tina does. Give Tina any name you choose in this example:
```python.run
import turtle
tina = turtle.Turtle()
tina.shape('turtle')
tina.forward(100)
```
Hint: You'll have to change **all** of the names from Tina to the name you choose. Otherwise, Python will be confused which one you're talking about.
