Tiffany (Red)

Tiffany in "One Big Happy Family"

**Tiffany** was the version of Tiffany from the Red World.

## Biography

Like her counterparts, Tiffany was a nice, sweet but not very bright girl. Katherine told Mundi that if anyone was the same in every world, it was Tiffany. Her best friend was Melinda, who tolerated her lack of intelligence. She was also friends with Una and Due.

Her Walkman was among the many items stolen by the Werrinup Thief, who was later revealed to be Francis Zapmeister, and she was delighted when she got it back.

When Francis Zapmeister stole Martin's MP3 player, he assumed that the Francis of his own world was responsible and his mother Mrs. Dunkly threatened to report the incident to Constable Garcia if the player wasn't returned by five o'clock that day. The two Francises and Ben conspired to convince the adults that Martin had simply misplaced the player and at the same time make him look like an idiot. The three of them agreed that the best way to do it was with Tiffany's unwitting help. At exactly ten to five, Francis emptied a bin all over Martin. Simultaneously, Francis Zapmeister, posing as his counterpart, confessed his undying love to Tiffany, who later confirmed that Francis had been with her when he had supposedly dumped the rubbish over Martin. Mrs. Dunkly then arrived with the MP3 player which Francis Zapmeister had put back in his bedroom. Martin was humiliated and his mother chastised him for making her look foolish in front of the Shorts.

Although she was dating Martin, he was much more interested in Melinda and relentlessly pursued her, often right under Tiffany's nose. When she finally noticed how much time he spent looking at Melinda and other girls, she asked him if they were going together or not. Rather than answering the question, Martin replied that he couldn't deal with hysterical women and left. After this argument, she noticed Ben approaching a drain and was astonished when he disappeared. She then followed him through the portal and arrived in the Green World.

While exploring her new location, she encountered her Green World counterpart. Tiffany was initially confused by the experience before deciding that someone was stealing her look. She told her equally confused counterpart that imitation was the truest form of slavery, her own garbled version of "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." She eventually made her way to Otto's old hut, where Ben, Katherine and Mundi were all shocked to see her. Believing that they had formed a secret club in a newly discovered forest, Tiffany threatened to tell everyone if they didn't let her join.

Katherine decided to tell her the truth about the Parallax, the Guardians, Welkin and the Krellicks. However, Tiffany didn't believe her and accused Katherine of teasing her with stories of parallel worlds. Ben then tried another tactic, insisting to an exasperated Katherine and Mundi that it needed a man's touch. He told Tiffany that scientists came to the forest in search of dinosaur fossils and that they would get in trouble if the scientists learned that they had been there. Tiffany was completely convinced by this story and, to Mundi's amusement, even wanted to go look for dinosaur bones herself. The only thing out of the ordinary that she noticed was the Francis of the Green World. Having mistaken him for the Francis that she knew, Tiffany claimed that he did not look quite himself.

Some time later, Tiffany saw Jeremy and Stefan, who believed that they had found the Reading Room, approach the portal in the drain. She became worried that they would discover the secret forest so she followed them through and found herself in the Orange World. The unprepared trio spilt up with Tiffany accompanying Stefan, much to his annoyance. They eventually discovered that Betti, who often came to the Orange World when she needed time to think, was present. Calling himself "Steve," Stefan claimed that he had gotten lost. However, Tiffany mistook Betti for Veronica and referred to her as Ben Johnson's mother. Katherine then arrived to rescue Stefan and Betti correctly concluded that she was Veronica's daughter with whom she had been communicating over the stave. She learned Katherine's name from an indiscreet Tiffany. When Betti threatened them, however, Tiffany proved unexpectedly useful. She threw sand in Betti's face, giving herself, Katherine and Stefan the opportunity to escape. This experience convinced Tiffany that Katherine was telling the truth about the existence of parallel worlds and she apologised for doubting her.

When Martin met and formed an alliance with his Blue World counterpart, Tiffany was astonished to discover that there were two of them. The Martins attempted to blackmail the gang into letting them join by threatening to reveal the existence of the Parallax to everyone in both of their worlds. However, Ben and Katherine pointed out that no one would believe them while the Melinda of the Blue World reminded her Martin that his claims would probably get him locked up in their world. Tiffany sided with the two Martins and she decided to join their gang. After it became clear to the Martins that she knew very little about how the Parallax worked, they abandoned her. The Blue World Martin criticised his counterpart for his choice of girlfriend. Tiffany became concerned that the two Martins were lost in the Parallax and tried to explain the situation to Constable Garcia. However, Garcia misunderstood Tiffany's claims about there being two Martins and believed that there was a new criminal gang called the Martins operating in Werrinup. He reported his suspicions to Mrs. Dunkly, who ordered her son home because of his alleged gang involvement.

Several days later, Una and Due played volleyball on the beach two against one with Tiffany. Having grown tired of losing because of the sisters' unfair advantage, Tiffany persuaded an initially reluctant Francis, who wanted to surf, to join them for one game. However, their fun was interrupted when they realised that Melinda had fallen off her bodyboard and was in danger of drowning. While Tiffany and Una panicked and tried to decide whether to call 000 or Constable Garcia, Francis swam out to sea and rescued Melinda. The girls were very relieved that she was alright, as was Melinda's father Mr. Bruce.

Martin was annoyed that he had missed the opportunity to look like a hero. Having been goaded by his counterpart, he ran down to the beach and attempted to steal the limelight by suggesting the formation of a Surf Club with himself as President and Melinda as Secretary. Melinda then got the idea from Una that a triathlon consisting of running, cycling and paddleboarding should be held to determine whether Francis or Martin should be President. The Martin of the Blue World suggested that they cheat by taking turns in the competition. Tiffany realised what the two Martins had planned and threatened to tell everyone, citing a desire to protect their morals. The Martin of the Red World backed down and decided to do it all by himself, to his counterpart's annoyance and confusion. Francis eventually won and was declared President of the Surf Club. Tiffany felt sorry for Martin but Melinda told her that the best guy had won.
