## Background

### Origins

Tiffany is the oldest daughter of Dexter Miliken and his unnamed wife. As the child of the one of the richest men in the world, she grew up surrounded by great wealth and wanted absolutely nothing. She was noted as a rather cold and focused child to everyone but her younger sister Claudia Miliken and seemed to take after both her father and grandfather in personality.

At some point in her youth, possibly confronted by the legacies of her father and grandfather, she made it her goal to surpass her father. Along the way that goal - believing that her father's goals would cause her death - became to kill him and take over everything that was his. At the moment, it is unknown if Tiffany has taken concrete steps towards that particular action.

### Early Arcs

She is first introduced arguing with Alice Alderman during classes at R&X University. At this point, Tiffany is nebulously aware of Superhumans and Monsters and is trying to obtain concrete information. Tiffany is paired up with the MC to conduct a research project and they choose to research some serial murders that had occurred in the nearby city park.

After the Frat house massacre and witnessing the MC's abilities, Tiffany is able to obtain footage of the MC first using his power at a diner and put's 2 and 2 together. She further tests the MCs abilities with poison gas before inviting him to her house and point-blank accusing him of being a superhuman. Initially, she just seems to want to learn more but it becomes clear that she wants powers for herself to help with her goals. During the various work sessions at her house, the MC encounters Alaric Howard, Claudia Miliken, and Dexter Miliken. Alaric is revealed to be Tiffany's fiancé and is dismissive of the MC (seeing him as a "dirty commoner"). The MC can choose to stake his own claim on Tiffany to infuriate Alaric (required for her romance route). The MC can choose to either get along well or be largely aloof in their interactions with both Claudia and Dexter.

As the MC and Tiffany work together to uncover more about monsters and superhumans they discover that there was an organization named H.E.R.O. operating from beneath R&X University. She asks the MC to sneak into the facility beneath the university and plug in a device to siphon data from their systems. Unfortunately, the device is detected and H.E.R.O. is alerted to her activities. They confront Tiffany and reveal that her father is the one running the organization. Dexter Miliken, however, is quite impressed at how far Tiffany had gotten and tell her that she'll be brought into the organization as a superhuman. She is able to meet with the MC one final time before this happens and pass on all the information she gained about HERO. At this point the MC can share a sexual encounter with her or request any number of rewards for helping her. She warns him though that eventually H.E.R.O. would find him - and all other superhumans - and forcibly induct them into the organization.

### H.E.R.O. Arc

Tiffany then undergoes her ascension sometime after this conversation and survives. She is kept at the underground base and trained to control her powers by Clark Cabellero. She and the MC are reunited a little later when he joins H.E.R.O. after the Valravn incident. She anonymously duels him in the sparring arena and even though the MC defeats her, she is able to show tremendous growth considering how recent her ascension was.

Tiffany is next seen at her wedding to Alaric Howard. The MC and many members of H.E.R.O. are invited and take part in the grand ceremony. Notably the MC and Tiffany can have a romantic encounter while she is getting dressed for the ceremony. She then goes through with the ceremony but just before she kisses Alaric after the priest's declaration, he is killed by a Monster Chimera attack. After the attack, Dexter and Tiffany are seen discussing the attack, but while Dexter is distinctly upset, Tiffany is notably cold and unaffected. While it is played off as shock, its implied that she either had something to do with the attack or didn't care much about the deaths. Her sister Claudia is quite shaken by the attack and upset and worried at Tiffany's lack of reaction.

She has a small support role during the Battle of Diamonds, where she recharges the weapons and powers of the long-range support squads as they attack the monsters in Hex's dimension. She is evacuated by Nico when Hex collapses the dimension.

### Twins Arc

Tiffany has continued her training and has become even stronger. As a test of her strength, she gets herself and the MC sent on a B-Class hunt. The mission is to put down ex-H.E.R.O agent Claire Lantos, who monsterified during her third evolution. Tiffany and the MC head to the location and chat along the way. She reveals that Claudia will be undergoing her ascension soon and that Dexter likely confirmed her survival using one of the captain's abilities. She also gives the MC some power serums if he asked for Power as a reward for his help early in the game. Tiffany rapidly engages the monster and is quickly able to critically injure it with her new equipment. However, the monster feigns death long enough to surprise Tiffany and the MC with a sonic boom before attempting to escape. The shock wave of sound damages Tiffany's hearing, ruining her balance, and rendering her unable to precisely measure her light speed jumps. This necessitates the MC pursuing and finishing the monster.

After the hunt, Tiffany can answer some questions if the MC wants. She reveals that both her equipment and evolution were fast tracked by Dexter and that she still fully intends to kill him. However, she does say that it's for her own protection that she wants to kill him. She also admits that Alaric Howard's death suited her plans (though doesn't go so far as admitting direct responsibility). When the MC asks whether the two of them are still allies, Tiffany admits that she considers him a friend. The two then return to base.

## Powers and Abilities

Tiffany was forced to undergo the Superhuman ascension process after her father Dexter Miliken discovered her spying on H.E.R.O activities. Due to her general high compatibility and her father's status, she was chosen to ascend with one of the most powerful monster samples obtained by H.E.R.O: the suspected corpse of an apostle avatar. She is a suspected spawn of the 8th Apostle (speculative as of 0.971).

### Human Abilities

Tiffany has been groomed from birth to take over Dexter's industrial empire. To that end she has received the finest physical training and education available. She is considered a genius or at least phenomenally intelligent by her peers and is notably physically capable - able to infiltrate the grounds of R&X university and successfully deploy poison gas to test the MC's superhuman resilience.

### General Superhuman Abilities

Since her powers don't seem to have a strong physical element Tiffany's physical abilities are not significantly modified beyond the human peak. She is faster, stronger, and more durable than most humans and has the standard suite of superhuman senses and enhancements. Due to her father's status, she was granted early access to monster material equipment tailored to her abilities. This coupled with rigorous and personalized training from Clark Caballero have ensured that she remains amongst the top H.E.R.O recruits.

### Level 1 Abilities

Like her progenitor monster, Tiffany's abilities revolve around light. She can emit a light that other superhumans and monsters find comforting and energizing. The light is also capable of recharging superhuman's internal energies and H.E.R.O's superhuman research-based energy weapons. Tiffany can, at will, transform into light. In this state she is invulnerable, intangible, and moves at the speed of light. However, her senses no longer work when transformed leading to her having to guess and plan her movements before transforming. She also retains none of the momentum of her movement when she transforms meaning her strikes are only as strong as her level 1 form allows.

### Level 2 Abilities

After her evolution Tiffany is able emit blasts of light that cause damage and are concussive. She is also able to retain some of the momentum from her light jumps enabling her to strike much harder.

### Equipment

Thanks to Dexter's influence, Tiffany was fast tracked to get custom monster material-based gear to augment her combat capabilities. She has received the following equipment:
