Tanzie Rollins

Tanziana "Tanzie" Rollins is a fictional character from the novel series, Sisterly Love, portrayed by Cymphonique Miller on the book covers. The character was created by author Maryam Wells and is based on Wells' maternal aunt (who is the younger sister of Wells' mother). Tanzie is introduced into the series as the youngest sister to Eva (Meagan Tandy) and Dominique Rollins (Alexandra Shipp). She was also a successful businessperson, marketing wigs, clothing, and beauty products.
==Casting and development==
In late 2015, while writing both All About Us and Double Trouble, giving them a revival, Maryam Wells wanted to create a novel series not from a TV series. After watching Charmed and Keeping up with the Kardashians, she thought about writing about series about three sisters, but from her own point of view. She created "Sisterly Love" about three young-adult sisters from an affluent neighborhood in Los Angeles, called Baldwin Hills (where Wells grew up in).
 
The character of Tanzie was conceived by Wells, who wrote the first novel for Sisterly Love. The first book was based around three mismatched sisters who are initially based on Wells' mother, Patty and her maternal aunts, Gloria and Bebe (Gloria is Patty's older sister and Bebe is Patty's younger sister). Tanzie is based on Wells' maternal aunt. On creating the Rollins sisters, Wells stated "Tanzie was honestly the easiest. From my aunt B.B. Being the sweet one.
When the series was in its first development stages, actress Lori Rom was cast in the role of Phoebe.[2] Rom played the role in a 28-minute test pilot (the "unaired pilot" never aired on television) with which the series was picked up by The WB. Rom later pulled out from the series before a 45-minute version of the pilot could be filmed for proper network television, leaving the role of Phoebe vacant.[2] Executive producer Aaron Spelling then turned to actress Alyssa Milano, who was previously cast in another television series produced by Spelling Television, Melrose Place. While Milano was in Hawaii shooting an episode for Fantasy Island, Spelling phoned Milano and asked her to consider joining the series.[2] After receiving a copy of the original pilot and the script, five days later Milano began shooting the re-shot pilot episode.[2]
==Background==
