Tiana/Relationships

The relationships of Tiana.
== Romance ==
=== Prince Naveen ===
Tiana first meets Prince Naveen after he arrives in New Orleans to seek out her best friend, Charlotte La Bouff's hand in marriage due to his parents cutting him off from their family fortune. As Tiana works at her job at Duke's Café, Naveen attempts to flirt with her, but Tiana just ignores him, leaving him to continue performing with some street musicians. Tiana later hears of the prince's arrival from Charlotte when she and her father, Eli La Bouff visit Duke's.
Later, as Tiana attends the LaBouffs' masquerade ball, she sees Charlotte dance with a man who appears to be Prince Naveen. However, after she gets her costume ruined and borrowing one of Charlotte's beautiful gowns, Tiana walks out to a balcony where she laments over losing her dream restaurant due to being informed by the Fenner Brothers that she has been outbid by someone who has a higher amount of money than she does. As Tiana stands on the balcony, making a wish on the Evening Star, she is spotted and approached by Naveen who has been turned into a frog by the evil voodoo witch doctor Dr. Facilier. Tiana, thinking Naveen is just an ordinary frog, asks him if he wants her to give him a kiss, which Naveen seems interested in, revealing his ability to talk in the process. Hearing Naveen talk in English, a shocked and scared Tiana begins to attack him with various objects until he reveals his true identity to her.
Tiana is confused to see Naveen being turned into a frog as she remembers seeing Charlotte dance with a man who is presumably the prince during the ball. Naveen, mistaking Tiana as a princess, asks her to kiss him in the hopes of breaking the spell after briefly looking through the story of The Frog Prince. At first, Tiana politely refuses, due to her dislike of frogs, but when Naveen offers her a reward in exchange for kissing him, Tiana relents as she realizes that being offered some money from the prince could help her in purchasing her restaurant. Though Tiana is a bit disgusted by Naveen's frog appearance, she manages to gather up the courage and kiss Naveen. However, instead of turning Naveen back into a human, Tiana gets turned into a frog herself. Shocked and horrified, Tiana angrily attacks Naveen after he tries to calm her down, but they end up falling outside during the ball where all the guests and Charlotte's dog, Stella try to attack them. Tiana and Naveen manage to escape from Stella and any of the guests trying to attack them by floating up and holding onto some balloons just in time.
While floating over the bayous of New Orleans, Tiana learns how Naveen has been swindled and turned into a frog by the Shadow Man. Tiana then reveals to Naveen that she is actually a waitress and Naveen, angry to learn that has been the reason the kiss didn't work, reveals to Tiana that he is completely broke. When the balloons pop and they land in the swamp, Tiana and Naveen argue over what they learn from one another. While being attacked by predators, Tiana learns from Naveen how he intends to become fabulously wealthy again once he marries Charlotte. When she askes him if he will keep his promise and get her restaurant once he and Charlotte are married, Naveen refuses to keep his promise, stating he has made that "promise to a beautiful princess, not a cranky waitress" before they are attacked by alligators. When Tiana decides to go her own way into an old hollow tree trunk and not help Naveen, he fearfully and hastily promises to grant Tiana her restaurant once he marries Charlotte in exchange for helping him escape the swamp, which she agrees to and pulls him into the tree trunk with her just in time.
The next morning, Tiana and Naveen set off to find away to break their curse, but Tiana becomes frustrated with Naveen who refuses to help her in paddling their raft. After meeting a friendly alligator named Louis, Tiana is surprised to see Naveen being able to convince the alligator to take them to Mama Odie, a voodoo priestess who would be able to turn them back into humans. While performing "When We're Human," Tiana grows further annoyed with Naveen when he reveals himself to be a philanderer and becomes angry that he does not seem committed in keeping a strong relationship with her best friend, Charlotte once he marries her.
Tiana's dislike for Naveen grows stronger when they accidentally get their tongues tied together due to their frog instincts kicking in. When meeting a firefly named Ray, both Tiana and Naveen deny being a couple when Ray mistakenly assumes Naveen is Tiana's boyfriend. As they continue making their way finding Mama Odie, Tiana's annoyance and frustration with Naveen grows stronger. They both voice their dislike for one another as they go through some thorn bushes (with Naveen pointing out that Tiana's workaholic and Tiana pointing out Naveen's laziness). However, when Tiana gets captured by some frog hunters, she is surprised when Naveen comes to her rescue and laughs in amusement as she watches him outsmart the hunters. When Tiana escapes from the cage, she sees one of the hunters, Two-Fingers aiming his rifle at Naveen, so she quickly saves him by redirecting Two-Fingers's down below another hunter, shooting Reggie's pants, exposing his undergarments in the process. Tiana and Naveen then work together in fighting the frog hunters, tricking them into hitting each other until all of them are left completely injured.
After fighting and scaring off the hunters, Tiana begins to bond with Naveen as she realizes her opinions on him are wrong vice versa. While cooking gumbo, in order to tend to an injured Louis, Tiana has Naveen mince some mushrooms before teaching him how to do it once she sees he was having trouble with the task. Tiana then listens to Naveen revealing his insecurities and feelings of uselessness due to being waited upon his whole life, causing him to lack any basic skills. Sympathizing with Naveen, Tiana cheers him by complimenting on his mincing skills as her bond with Naveen grows even stronger.
Later, after learning Ray is in love with a star whom he calls "Evangeline," Tiana politely turns down Naveen's invitation to dance with him, revealing she never danced before. However, Naveen sympathetically encourages her to dance with him, saying if he can learn how to mince, she can learn how to dance. As they share a waltz during "Ma Belle Evangeline," both Tiana and Naveen start to develop romantic feelings for each other, but choose not to pursue them as they both know Naveen is due to marry Charlotte. When meeting with Mama Odie, the voodoo queen tries to get the two frogs to accept their feelings for one another, succeeding with Naveen, but failing with Tiana.
When hitching a ride on a riverboat to get back to New Orleans, in order to find Charlotte whom is capable of breaking the spell as she is a princess of the Mardi Gras parade until midnight, Tiana and Naveen's feelings for each other continue to grow where they hold onto to each other when they believe to have been spotted by hunters, only to back away from each other awkwardly after it was proven to be a false alarm. Later that night, Tiana is surprised by Naveen who sets up a romantic dinner for the two of them on top of the boat. During the dinner, Tiana is confused by Naveen's awkward behavior as he tries to confess his feelings for her, but finds his fumbling to be cute. Just then, as the riverboat begins to pass the old building Tiana plans on using for her restaurant, she takes the time to tell Naveen about her dreams to open the restaurant, along with her deceased father. Knowing he cannot afford to pay for the restaurant without marrying Charlotte and inheriting her fortune, Naveen decides not to tell Tiana his feelings for her, for the sake of her dream and happiness. Once Naveen leaves, Tiana, confused over pursuing her dream or her feelings for Naveen, asks Evangeline for help as she isn't sure what to do.
Meanwhile, when the riverboat docks in New Orleans, Tiana, oblivious to Naveen getting captured by the Shadow Man's shadow minions, asks Ray if he's seen Naveen. Instead, Ray accidentally tells Tiana that Naveen actually loves her and plans on getting a job to pay for her restaurant. Overjoyed, Tiana and Ray head off to the Mardi Gras parade to find him so Tiana can confess to Naveen she returned the feelings. Unfortunately, Tiana, instead, finds "Naveen" (who is really Lawrence in disguise) as a human, atop a parade float about to marry Charlotte. Heartbroken, Tiana runs off where she loses her faith in wishing and dreams once more, as well as snapping at Ray out of heartbreak by telling him Evangeline is nothing but a star and to "open his eyes" before he gets hurt like she does.
While she is being confronted by the Shadow Man in an illusion of her dream illusion, Tiana spots a man whom she thinks is Naveen, only to become saddened when the man reveals he isn't the prince. After she manages to succeed in destroying the talisman, Tiana hears the Shadow Man mention he still has Naveen locked away before he is sent to his doom by his "friends on the other side." Tiana discovers this to be true as she witnesses Lawrence getting arrested and Naveen in the process of making a deal with Charlotte, to help Tiana get the money for her restaurant. Touched when Naveen calls her his "Evangeline," Tiana intervenes and tells Naveen her dream wouldn't be complete without him in it, thus allowing the two to proclaim their feelings for one another. Though Charlotte is too late in being able to kiss Naveen and break the curse at midnight, Tiana and Naveen do not mind being frogs as long as they are together.
While attending Ray's funeral as he has been killed during the battle against the Shadow Man, Tiana and Naveen comfort each other as they are both saddened over their friend's death. However, they quickly become overjoyed when they see Ray become a star and reunite with Evangeline where they share a loving embrace. Sometime later, Tiana and Naveen get married in the bayou and as they kiss, they turn back into humans for Tiana becomes a princess by marrying Naveen.
After having a royal wedding as humans back in New Orleans, Tiana and Naveen use the money that she saved to open the restaurant (with a little intimidation help from Louis, who frightens the snooty bidders into accepting what Tiana has). After Tiana and Naveen remodel the sugar mill and open up the restaurant, they celebrate as the restaurant becomes a big success by sharing a waltz and a kiss while being watched by Ray and Evangeline under the night sky.
== Family ==
=== James ===
Tiana has had a close, strong relationship with her father, James. Though James had to work so many jobs to support his family, he never showed how fatigued he was to Tiana as he did not his daughter to know he was struggling to provide for his family as he wanted Tiana to have a happy life as he gave her encouraging words and practical advice. Tiana was also taught by her father on how to cook which gave her great cooking skills, something James was very proud of. As a result of both of them sharing a love for cooking, Tiana and her father shared the same dream of opening a restaurant where Tiana was advised by her father that she had to work hard to achieve her dreams, other than just wishing on stars and promised her father to never lose sight of what was important in life.
Years later, James had died after being killed in action during World War I, leaving Tiana devastated. Her father's death caused Tiana to become workaholic where she was employed at two jobs so she earn enough money and buy her own restaurant, in order to make her father's dream a reality. Tiana even kept a portrait of her late father in a military uniform, as a reminder that he will always be with her. When Tiana was confronted by Dr. Facilier to prevent him from getting his talisman back, the witch doctor referenced her father and tried to persuade her in giving him the talisman in exchange for making her dream a reality, in order to honor her deceased father. However, Tiana was able to remember and realize that although her father never got what he wanted, he had what he needed: the love of his family. Refusing Facilier's offer, Tiana declared she would never lose sight of what was really important in life just as her father did before she managed to defeat Facilier.
Sometime after marrying Prince Naveen, Tiana was able to buy her own restaurant named "Tiana's Palace," thus succeeding in making her late father's dream a reality.
=== Eudora ===
Ever since Tiana was a little girl, she's had shared a strong, loving relationship with her mother, Eudora. Tiana would normally accompany her mother in her work as a seamstress whether she sewed dresses for her best friend, Charlotte La Bouff. Eudora also would praise her daughter for having remarkable cooking skills and encouraged Tiana to pursue her dreams of opening her own restaurant by wishing on the Evening Star.
Years later, after the death of James, Tiana's father and Eudora's husband, Tiana and Eudora were devastated and grieved for James, but the two maintained a close relationship with each other. Tiana was also still supported by her mother in achieving her dream of getting her own restaurant. One day, after Tiana get enough money to buy her restaurant, she was gifted by Eudora her father's gumbo pot and the two shared an emotional embrace. As Tiana and her mother explored the old sugar mill Tiana wanted to buy for her restaurant, Eudora expressed how proud she was of Tiana getting close to accomplishing her dream, but voiced her concerns on Tiana doing so much work to achieve her dream. Eudora wanted Tiana to start think about settling down and having children, but Tiana was not interested as she still had the determination to buy and get her restaurant which caused Eudora to continue supporting her daughter.
Eventually, Tiana fell in love with Prince Naveen and married him where Eudora accepted her relationship with the prince and looked happy to see Tiana had found someone she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. After Tiana and Naveen managed to open their restaurant together, Tiana continued having a close relationship with her mother as Eudora became a frequent customer where she looked extremely proud of Tiana for achieving her dream.
== Friends and Allies ==
=== Charlotte La Bouff ===
Tiana has known Charlotte since she was a little girl as her mother sewed dresses for Charlotte while working as a seamstress. Though Tiana and Charlotte came from different backgrounds, the two girls became best friends due to them sharing a love for fairytales and would play together where they sometimes dressed up as princesses while Tiana's mother would read them a story as she did her work.
As Tiana and Charlotte grew up, they still considered each other best friends as they remained close with one another. One day, while working at Duke's Café, Tiana heard from Charlotte that her father had invited Prince Naveen of Maldonia who was visiting New Orleans, to live at her mansion for a while so she can get a chance to date him. Tiana, happy for her friend, gave Charlotte advice on how to win a man's heart and Charlotte invited Tiana to her masquerade ball to serve beignets, giving her large amount of money as payment for services, but also to help Tiana get enough money to buy her own restaurant. Tiana, grateful of Charlotte giving her so much cash to help her in the old sugar mill she wanted to turn into her own restaurant, thanked her best friend while feeling confident she was now able to get her restaurant.
During the ball, when Charlotte started to get impatient due to Prince Naveen not arriving yet, Tiana tried to comfort her best friend. After "Prince Naveen" arrived at the ball, Tiana watched Charlotte dance with the prince, looking happy for her. When Tiana got her costume accidentally ruined while confronting the Fenner Brothers, she was helped up and tended to by Charlotte who allowed her to borrow one of her gowns. After Tiana finished changing into a gown, she was complimented by Charlotte on pretty she looks and placed a tiara on her head, but Tiana was too sad over the thought of losing her restaurant to thank Charlotte for the compliment and the dress.
After meeting the real Naveen who had been turned into a frog by Dr. Facilier, Tiana ended up turning into a frog herself after kissing Naveen in an attempt to break the spell. As Tiana and Naveen spent time together in the bayou, Tiana denied having feelings for Naveen as she knew Charlotte would want to marry the prince herself. When meeting with Mama Odie, Tiana learned that Charlotte would be able to break the spell due to her father being king of the Mardi Gras, making Charlotte a princess until midnight.
After returning to New Orleans and defeating Dr. Facilier, Tiana stopped Naveen from kissing Charlotte under the agreement of marriage and getting the money to buy Tiana's restaurant by confessing her love for Naveen. Charlotte, seeing how much Tiana and Naveen loved each other, expressed how proud she was of Tiana for finding love and decided to kiss Naveen for her best friend so they can be together as humans, showing Charlotte valued Tiana's happiness more than anything. Unfortunately, Charlotte was unable to break the curse in time and Tiana showed no anger towards her best friend as Charlotte apologized.
However, Tiana and Naveen were able to turn back into humans due to Tiana becoming a princess by marrying Naveen. They had a second wedding in New Orleans which Charlotte attended, looking happy for her best friend and when Tiana threw her wedding bouquet, Charlotte was able to catch it. After Tiana opened up her restaurant, she shared a hug with Charlotte who had became a frequent customer of her restaurant.
=== Louis ===
After getting turned into a frog by a cursed Prince Naveen, Tiana, along with Naveen, ended up in the bayous of New Orleans and nearly avoided the predators of the bayou. The next morning, Tiana and Naveen attempted to leave the bayou in order to find someone who can help them break the curse. However, as Naveen was playing on a twig shaped like a ukulele, Tiana first saw Louis approaching them. Thinking the alligator was about to eat them, Tiana and Naveen hugged each other in fear until Louis revealed himself to be very friendly, was talented in playing a trumpet, and dreamed of performing music in front of humans. After meeting Louis and hearing his story, Tiana thanked the alligator for not eating her and Naveen, and decided to continue the journey in leaving the bayou, leaving Louis upset. When Louis learned from Naveen that he and Tiana are actually humans cursed as frogs, blaming Tiana on their predicament, Tiana tried to defend herself and reveal how Naveen was turned into a frog by Dr. Facilier. However, when Tiana revealed Dr. Facilier to be a voodoo witch doctor, Louis became freaked out and revealed the existence of Mama Odie, the voodoo queen of the bayou. Believing Mama Odie would able to break the frog curse, Tiana and Naveen asked Louis if he could take them to Mama Odie, but the alligator refused, leaving Tiana disappointed until Naveen was able to convince him otherwise.
While traveling through the bayou, Tiana rode on Louis's back and the two of them started to form a friendship while performing "When We're Human." Tiana also told Louis of her dream to open her own restaurant which Louis found fascinating, due to him having a fondness for human food. When Tiana and Naveen accidentally got their tongues due to trying to catch some food, Louis tried to get them untied, only to get them tangled up even up more, which Tiana remarked he did good, despite making the situation worse. After getting untangled by Ray, Tiana heard from the firefly that she and Naveen were going the wrong way to Mama Odie's residence. This caused Tiana to angrily confront Louis for misguiding her and Naveen, but she seemed to quickly forgive Louis when Ray helped her and her friends get on the right path to find Mama Odie.
After fighting off some frog hunters, Tiana showed some concern for Louis who had pricked by so many thorn bushes. She offered to cook him some gumbo, which Louis accepted. Louis also was shown enjoying eating Tiana's gumbo before Ray introduced everyone to his girlfriend, Evangeline where she watched Naveen stop Louis from pointing out that Evangeline was actually a star. As Tiana danced with Naveen during "Ma Belle Evangeline," Louis played his trumpet to set the romantic mood between the two of them.
After meeting with Mama Odie and learning that Naveen had to kiss Charlotte La Bouff before Mardi Gras ended at midnight in order to break the frog curse, Tiana and Louis, along with Naveen and Ray, traveled back to New Orleans together. After hitching a ride on a boat, Louis was mistaken by a group of musicians for wearing an alligator costume and was offered a spot in their band. Tiana became happy for Louis as she knew how much he wanted to play music in front of humans. She then went to go watch Louis perform as a way to support her friend.
After defeating Dr. Facilier, Tiana and Louis were very saddened when Ray died as he had been killed during the fight against the evil witch doctor. The two of them attended Ray's funeral together and were overjoyed when they saw that Ray had been reborn as a star and was reunited with his girlfriend, Evangeline.
Sometime later, Louis attended Tiana and Naveen's wedding in the bayou where he witnessed the two of them turn back into humans and cried tears of joy as Tiana and Naveen proclaimed their love for each other. After having a second wedding with Naveen in New Orleans, Tiana was aided by Louis in purchasing her restaurant from the Fenner brothers where he angrily threatened the realtors in keeping their word with Tiana in doing business with her; showing that Louis cared for Tiana and was willing to come to her defense. Once Tiana bought and opened her restaurant, Tiana appointed Louis as the leader of the Palace's exclusive band, the Firefly Five Plus Lou so her friend could live out his dream of being a famous musician and performing music in front of a human audience without scaring anybody.
=== Ray ===
When Tiana's frog instincts began to kick in, she tried to resist in eating Ray, but ended up getting her tongue twisted with Naveen's own tongue. As Tiana and Naveen ended being tangled up in their own tongues, Ray, noticing this, revealed himself as a firefly and untied the frogs' tongues, freeing them. After introducing themselves, Tiana and Naveen told Ray of how they were actually humans and that they were cursed as frogs due to Naveen being tricked into making a deal with an evil voodoo man named Dr. Facilier. However, when Tiana told that they were now trying to find Mama Odie so she could help them, Ray revealed that she and Naveen were actually going the wrong way due to their guide Louis, not knowing the actual way to Mama Odie's residence. With this mind, Ray and his family helped Tiana, Naveen, and Louis get to Mama Odie with Tiana being amazed by all of the fireflies in her new friend's family.
Once Ray's family helped Tiana and her friends in getting on the right path, Ray continued to accompanied them on their journey. Tiana formed a friendship with Ray as he told her about his girlfriend Evangeline and how he wished to be with her forever, which Tiana found very sweet. After evading a group of frog hunters, Tiana cooked some gumbo for Ray, Naveen, and Louis which they all enjoyed. When Ray saw and said Evangeline had arrived, Tiana got excited to meet Ray's girlfriend, only to become shocked to see that Evangeline was actually the Evening Star. Despite this, Tiana accepted Ray's love for a star and did not say anything as she did not want to offend him or hurt his feelings. Tiana then danced with Naveen as Ray sang "Ma Belle Evangeline" and after rescuing Naveen from Facilier's shadow minions, Tiana and Ray met Mama Odie who had fended off the shadow demons.
As Mama Odie sang "Dig a Little Deeper" to get Tiana and Naveen to understand what they truly need, Tiana danced with Ray during the music number. After Mama Odie informed that Charlotte La Bouff was capable of breaking the frog curse due to only being a princess during Mardi Gras, Tiana and Ray, along with Naveen and Louis, journeyed back to New Orleans so they could break the frog curse before midnight. Once they arrived in New Orleans, Tiana became concerned over Naveen's disappearance and got confused when Ray had asked her about an engagement ring. When Ray revealed that Naveen was in love with her, not Charlotte, and planned to help find a way to buy her restaurant, Tiana joyfully gave Ray a hug and thanked his girlfriend, Evangeline for everything.
However, after seemingly finding Charlotte about to marry a man who appeared to be Naveen, Ray tried to comfort and talk to a heartbroken Tiana, but she snapped at him where she called Evangeline nothing more than a star and told him to open his eyes before he gets hurt like she did. This left Ray hurt, but refused to believe Tiana as he claimed she was only "speaking from a broken heart" and resolved to investigate the wedding between "Naveen" and Charlotte. Ray eventually discovers the "Naveen" to be an imposter who was disguised as the prince with the help of a voodoo talisman. After freeing the real Naveen, Ray took the talisman and brought it to Tiana in order to show it to her as proof of seeing an imposter marrying Charlotte. When Tiana was informed by Ray that she could not let Dr. Facilier get a hold of the talisman, she trusted her friend's words and ran away as Ray bought her some time by fighting Facilier's shadow minions.
After defeating Facilier and reuniting with the real Naveen, Tiana was horrified to see Louis carrying Ray who had been severely injured during his confrontation with the witch doctor. Tiana gently stroked Ray's head and reassured him that she and Naveen are staying together despite seemingly being frogs. This left Ray overjoyed before he died peacefully, leaving Tiana devastated over her friend's death. Returning to the bayou, Tiana attended Ray's funeral where she placed a flower over his body and silently sobbed as his body floated away in the bayou's waters. However, Tiana quickly noticed up in the night sky, a new star right next to Evangeline, causing her to realize that the new star is Ray. Seeing this, Tiana grew overjoyed and embraced Naveen as she was happy that Ray was not completely gone, but was reunited with his true love.
=== Mama Odie ===
After turning into a frog due to kissing Prince Naveen who had also been turned into a frog by the evil witch doctor, Dr. Facilier, Tiana and Naveen learned from Louis about Mama Odie and her reputation as a voodoo priestess. With this knowledge, Tiana and Naveen decided to seek out Mama Odie, in the hopes she'll be able to turn them back into humans.
When Tiana and her friends finally found and met Mama Odie, Tiana was excited to meet her, but was baffled and annoyed with Mama Odie's easily distracted behavior. However, Tiana was surprised that Mama Odie already knew she and Naveen desired to be humans again, but became Mama Odie said she and Naveen need something more other than wanting to be human. As Mama Odie sang "Dig a Little Deeper," Tiana danced to the music until Tiana was approached by Mama Odie whom Tiana politely called "ma'am." Mama Odie tried to get Tiana realized she needed to ease up more and follow her heart, but Tiana misinterpreted the song's meaning as working harder to get her restaurant, instead of realizing she had feelings for Naveen. Despite this, Tiana was helped by Mama Odie in finding a solution to break the spell where she said Naveen had to kiss a princess in order for the two of them to turn back into humans. Looking through Mama Odie's gumbo cauldron, Tiana and Naveen learned from Mama Odie that Tiana's best friend, Charlotte La Bouff was the princess of Mardi Gras due to her father being king of the parade and Naveen had to kiss Charlotte before, which was when Mardi Gras ended. This prompted Tiana and her friends in journeying back to New Orleans to get Charlotte to help them break the spell.
However, Tiana and her friends are unable to break the spell, but Tiana and Naveen decide to be together as frogs after confessing their love for one another. Mama Odie attended the wedding between Tiana and Naveen where she was put in charge of the wedding ceremony. As Tiana and Naveen shared a kiss, Mama Odie happily watched as the two turned back into humans as Tiana had become a princess due to marrying Naveen, thus allowing Tiana and Naveen to live happily after as husband and wife.
=== Eli La Bouff ===
Ever Tiana was a little girl, she has had a good relationship with Eli "Big Daddy" LaBuff, the richest man in New Orleans, as her mother made clothes for Big Daddy's daughter, Charlotte. Eli also supported Tiana into becoming friends with his daughter, as he did not hold any negative views towards people of different skin colors and of poorer backgrounds. Tiana also was fond of Eli that sometime after the death of her father, Tiana saw Eli as a second father to her and affectionately referred to him "Big Daddy" sometimes. Tiana also supported Eli being King of the Mardi Gras Parade as she knew he was a kind and generous man, beloved by the community.
When Tiana got married to Prince Naveen, sometime after breaking the curse cast by Dr. Facilier, Eli attended her wedding while looking happy for Tiana and approved of her marrying Naveen, as he learned she had fallen in with the prince. After Tiana managed to open up her restaurant with Naveen, Eli became a regular customer of her restaurant and Tiana would continue having a good relationship with Eli.
=== Georgia ===
Tiana shared a close friendship with a woman named Georgia, even though she considered Charlotte La Bouff to be her best friend. As Tiana worked at two jobs to get enough money to buy her own restaurant, she often turned down Georgia's offers to spend time with her, even going out to dance. This left Georgia embittered and concerned for Tiana as she never took a break from work. It also made Tiana feel bad for turning down Georgia's offers to spend time with her while trying to achieve her and her late father's dream of opening up a restaurant.
However, sometime after marrying Prince Naveen, Tiana managed to open up her restaurant with Georgia becoming a frequent customer and allowing Tiana to spend time with her, as Tiana had learned to have fun during her adventure as a frog with Naveen.
== Enemies ==
=== Dr. Facilier ===
Tiana was well-aware of Dr. Facilier and his reputation as a voodoo witch doctor, and was one of the few inhabitants in New Orleans to fear him. Tiana also showed a distaste towards Facilier as she was aware Facilier would use his charm to manipulate others in order to rob them of their money by using his magic to make their dreams "come true." After meeting Prince Naveen and tried turning him back into a human by kissing him, only to get turned into a frog herself, Tiana was shocked to hear from Naveen that Facilier had turned him into a frog and briefly criticized Naveen for falling for Facilier's trickery. This prompted Tiana to work with Naveen in finding a way break Facilier's curse so they both can be turned back into humans.
Later, after returning to New Orleans, due to learning from Mama Odie that they need Charlotte La Bouff to kiss Naveen so he and Tiana can become humans again due to Charlotte being princess of the Mardi Gras, Tiana saw Facilier's minion and Naveen's former valet, Lawrence, disguised as Naveen, marrying her best friend on a parade float, leaving Tiana to fall for Facilier's deception. However, Ray realized Lawrence was an imposter and rescued the real Naveen before taking Facilier's Talisman to Tiana as proof of the witch doctor's deception. Tiana was ordered by Ray to not let Facilier get the talisman and when cornered by Facilier's shadow minions, she bravely threatened to destroy the talisman. However, Facilier used his magic to turn Tiana back into a human and gave her a vision of the restaurant she always dreamed of having. Tiana was scared to be in the presence of Facilier as he attempted coerce her into striking a deal with him: hand over the talisman in exchange for her restaurant, but she refused. However, Facilier then tried to seal the deal by reminding her of everything she had sacrificed, those who have doubted her ability, and her late father James and his struggles to open the restaurant. Tiana nearly gave in to giving the talisman to Facilier but this caused her in realizing that, while her father never got what he wanted, he had what he needed; he had love, and he never lost sight of what was really important in life. Refusing Facilier's deal, Tiana declared that she won't forget what's important in life just as her father did and attempted to destroy the talisman, only for Facilier's shadow catch it and hands it back to the witch doctor. Facilier then magically shattered Tiana's vision and sadistically turned her back into a frog, taunting her for not accepting his deal and now having to spend the rest of her life "being a slimy little frog." As Tiana was pinned down by Facilier, she retorted she was not slimy, but covered in mucus and used her prehensile tongue to regain the talisman and break it, thus ending Facilier's villainous plot for good. After its destruction, Tiana watched in shock as Facilier was confronted by his "friends" and heard he still had Naveen locked away before he was dragged to his demise, much to Tiana's horror.
After Facilier's death, Tiana and Naveen were able to confess their love for each other and although they are supposedly too late in breaking the curse, they accept their fate as frogs as long as they stay together. They get married which allowed Tiana to become a princess and break Facilier's curse, turning her and Naveen back into humans.
=== Reggie, Darnell, and Two Fingers ===
As Tiana traveled through the bayou with Prince Naveen, Louis, and Ray to request the help of Mama Odie in breaking the frog curse on her and Naveen, Tiana encountered a group of frog hunters by the names of Reggie, Darnell, and Two Fingers who wanted to capture her and Naveen and eat their frog legs for dinner. When Two Fingers grabbed Tiana, she split his fingers apart to free herself, but when Two Fingers angrily threw knives at her in retaliation, Tiana became scared and started to flee for her life.
However, Tiana ended up being captured by the frog hunters, due to Darnell's clumsiness. She was prevented from escaping as Two Fingers sat on top of her cage, but Naveen came to her rescue. Tiana watched Naveen outsmart the hunters, chuckling as she watched Naveen caused Darnell to unintentionally injure Reggie. When Tiana managed to get free from her cage, she stopped Two Fingers from killing Naveen by redirecting his hunting rifle down below Reggie's pants, exposing his undergarments. Tiana and Naveen then began fighting the frog hunters, tricking them into hitting each other until all of them were left completely injured. As an exhausted Reggie remarked to his dazed companions that the two frogs are not normal, Tiana and Naveen landed in front of them where Tiana revealed her ability to talk as a frog. This shocked and scared the frog hunters that they quickly fled the bayou as Tiana and Naveen watched in amusement.
=== The Fenner Brothers ===
When Tiana started working two jobs to get enough money to buy her own restaurant, she sought to buy an old sugar mill from the Fenner Brothers Real Estate company and made business with the Fenner brothers. After Tiana made enough money to buy the sugar mill from the Fenner brothers promised to bring papers for her to sign after Mardi Gras, but agreed to Tiana's request on bringing them during the La Bouff family' masquerade ball.
However, when Tiana met the brothers at the ball, she was shocked when the brothers told her that was outbid by someone and she won't be able to buy the sugar mill from them unless she gets more money by Wednesday. When Tiana tried to object at them for being on the verge of breaking business with her, she became offended when the Fenner brothers referenced someone having the similar background as Tiana's, such as coming from a poor working family, would have trouble running a restaurant, despite them knowing Tiana has great cooking skills and experience in working in restaurants. Tiana tried to get the brothers to reconsider, only to be accidentally knocked by the Fenners into her table of beignets, getting her costume ruined.
Sometime after defeating Dr. Facilier and marrying Prince Naveen, Tiana and Naveen approached the Fenner brothers and presented the money Tiana had been saving so they can buy the sugar mill from them. The Fenner brothers were threatened by Louis in keeping their word with Tiana which they did so out of fear by accepting her payment and giving her the key to the sugar mill.
