## Biography

### Overview

Tiffany is African-American and the adopted daughter of a mixed-race family. She attends a Catholic school called St. Pete's, where she was the first altar girl. She is very smart, particularly at math. She doesn't have many friends until she meets a group of paper girls.

### Storyline

On Hell Day, Mac rides up to warn Tiff about Wally Becker and some guys trying to harass a paper girl (KJ). She and the other girls all ride off together to provide back up to each other.

Tiffany, Mac, and Erin confront the boys who are harassing KJ. Mac lights a firework in their direction and the girls go running. Tiff sticks together with the others to survive Hell Day.

When the sky turns pink and power goes out, Tiff and the others believe they are being attacked. The girls try to hide, but get found by two guys- Heck and Naldo- who tell them to hide for their safety. They warn the girls they are farther away from home than they think. Naldo gets shot and hands Tiff a device.

A group of people, including Marcus and Prioress, start shooting at the girls who run for their lives. They run to Erin's house and find another Erin- but all grown up. This Erin tries to help the girls solve the mystery of how to get back to 1988. Eventually, all paths lead to Larry who helps the girls time travel again. Instead of bringing them back to 1988, he tricks them and leads them to 1999. There, Erin, Larry, and the girls get in a fight with the Old Watch. Adult Erin dies in the fight but Tiff and the girls run away.

Tiff looks for help and another way to time travel back to 1988. She and the girls visit adult Tiff and adult KJ, looking for answers. They hang out at adult Tiffany's apartment and eventually go to 1999 Larry's farm, where he is still alive. A time rip occurs at Larry's farm. The Old Watch tracks the girls back to the farm and show up, insisting that they don't want to hurt the girls but they just want to bring them back to 1988. Tiff and the girls agree to go on the time traveling ship but Prioress changes the plan and wants to send them to speak to Dr. Quilkin (adult Tiff in 2019) in the future. She summons a time machine for the group but the girls get separated. Erin and Tiff take off in their own ship to an unknown time period. And Mac and KJ whereabouts are unknown.
