Tilly

Tilly Hudson is the main protagonist of the game.

She is described as being a brave and smart young woman. She feels comfortable when she is strong and able to help everyone. She has a super high sense of responsibility.

Tilly used to take care of her grandmother while she worked on repairing a broken down locomotive.

She left the Old Rail Yard where she lived with her grandmother after repairing the train in order to fulfill her dream of traveling the world as her parents once did, detailed in the journals that they left behind for her. This was previously not an option as it was too dangerous to cross the chasm without a working train.

With her new independence, Tilly’s life goal is to discover new curious places, visit the majestic destinations that her parents wrote about, meet new eccentric people and uncover the secrets about her mysterious past.

## Trivia:

* Tilly's birthday is September 25th.
	+ A year is not given, nor is Tilly's age ever confirmed, aside from establishing that she is a young adult.
* Tilly is one of the options for the player to use as a profile icon. This icon shows up on the friends list and in the Birdle leaderboard and also on the map to mark the Player's current location.
* The home that Tilly and her Grandmother used to live in is a derailed train car.

#### Appearance

* Tilly has the same green eyes and black hair as her father.
* Tilly has her ears pierced.
* Tilly appears to reapply the coal soot to her cheeks each morning, as seen in the official trailer. The reason that she does this is yet to be specified.
* Tilly's height could be inferred to be approximately 170cm [5'5"] with her hat on, when interpreting the officially released height chart.
	+ Tilly's child form's height could be inferred to be approximately 90cm [2'9"] with her father's hat on, when interpreting the officially released height chart.

#### Relationships

* Till was primarily raised by her Grandmother, having been left in Granny's care at a very young age.
	+ During winter holiday time, Tilly's Grandma would set up a toy train and Tilly would play with it by pretending to be on adventures with her parents.
* Tilly has a family photograph of her parents and herself as a child all together, that is hanging on the wall in her Train's Cabin.
	+ Tilly's parents used to mail her their journal from their travels when she was younger.
	+ The hat Tilly wears belonged to her father. She rarely removes it, except for some activities, such as swimming (likely to protect it). She also removed her hat when eating at other people's homes, perhaps out of respect. She does not remove the hat while sleeping in the Tilly's Dreams minigame, however the hat is removed in the loading screen image of Tilly sleeping.
* Tilly considers Eleanor to be her best friend and her Guardian Angel.
* Poppy is Tilly's other grandmother.
* Tilly used to pretend to be her ancestor, Ben Hudson, when playing make believe as a child.
* In the Star Signs minigame, Tilly's fortune reads that she will have to choose between three love interests.
	+ One of the three is confirmed to be Finn. Tilly and Finn show mutual romantic interest in one another during their date in Karn, almost sharing a kiss at the end before they are interrupted.
	+ The second option is heavily implied to be Kaden, since he appears in several official teasers posed with Tilly in a way that suggests strong romantic implications. Furthermore, Tilly says she might be falling in love with Kaden in his official description. Despite the aforementioned statements, the interactions between Tilly and Kaden in the story have been antagonistic, with Tilly becoming increasingly frustrated with Kaden's ceaseless, unprovoked verbal abuse toward her, eventually ending with Tilly calling Kaden a jerk after he tells her that she is his least favourite person in the world.
	+ The third option is still unknown and yet to be revealed.

#### Skills

* Tilly self identifies as an Engineer.
	+ Tilly taught herself to repair and operate locomotives by reading train manuals, and then practicing on broken trains in the old rail yard.
* Tilly's mother was an artist and taught her how to draw when Tilly was a little girl.
* Tilly is a capable swimmer, able to swim against strong water currents.
* Tilly is currently a local word game Champion, which grants her access to word game tournaments in the big city.

#### Quirks

* Tilly dislikes the flavour of the coffee Eleanor makes in her Brewmaster invention.
* Tilly enjoys catching Hueflies in jars and then watching them glow. The glow reminds her of the warmth in a hug from her parents. She always releases them the next morning.

## Speculation:

* Tilly may be an orphan. However, her parent's whereabouts are currently unknown, so this cannot be confirmed, however it is strongly foreshadowed in Tilly's second eerie dream when her mother spoke to her, saying, "Tilly, save us!" heavily suggesting that Tilly's parents might be still alive.
