— Tish

**Tish** is a supporting character in Beacon Pines. She accompanies Iggy to help him with his pranks.

## Profile

### Appearance

#### Development

During development, Tish originally had much longer hair pulled into a ponytail and lacked a hat.

#### Final Design

Tish is a young gray rhino with light brown eyes, neatly styled brown hair that's tucked under a yellow sunhat, that matches her bright yellow dress. Said dress has ruffle trimming and is worn over a white, collared shirt, which possesses an orange ribbon on the chest section. Another ribbon is wrapped around her hat. She also wears black shoes with white socks, and her face always has a smile on it.

### Personality

Tish isn't very enthusiastic about talking, making her a great fit for the ever chattering Iggy, who she's thankful towards for doing all of the talking. This doesn't mean she lacks emotions, though she usually agrees with whatever Iggy says and does. Whenever she feels empowered enough, however, she allows herself to say full sentences on these very special occasions, rather than the usual "Yup".

She assists Iggy in various pranks and bullying, often being treated as the muscle of the duo. The two care a lot for each other (likely due to their lack of other friends), and she is never once seen without Iggy throughout the game.

## Story

### Chapter 2: Welcome to Beacon Pines

Tish can be found with Iggy by Perennial Harvest's headquarters, where Iggy is urging one of Mrs. Nelson's children (named Andy) to steal a Clipboard's wallet. They refuse, causing Iggy to start threatening to “pound” them if they don’t comply, which Tish supports with a “Yup”. Andy tries to use their mother’s wishes to avoid this, but Iggy talks over them and says that “If I had a nickel for every ‘Yeah, but’, I’d be the freakin’ King of Nickels”, a statement Tish once again backs up with a “Yup”.

### If “Shit” Was Chosen at “Rendezvous with Roxy”

While Luka and Beck are investigating the strange puddle, Tish and Iggy confront them. Luka tries to dissuade them from their usual bullying, which Iggy tries to frame as Luka hurting Tish’s feelings. Beck points out that she looks fine, Iggy introduces both himself and Tish and asks why Beck would hang out Luka, calling him a “dud”. He attempts to convince her that his parents left him due to being pathetic, which enrages Luka, who warns Iggy to stop it. When he continues to insult him and his family, the Turning Points “Hazardous Hectoring” occurs, which determines what Beck will do in response.

### If “Tickle” Was Chosen at “Hazardous Hectoring”

To defang to situation, Beck lunges towards Tish and begins to tickle her, causing her to laugh hysterically and run away after being unable to endure anymore of it, leaving Iggy outnumbered and without his muscle.

### If “Strange” Was Chosen at “Hazardous Hectoring”

As the two bullies prepare to attack Luka, Beck simply stares at them. Persisting even when Iggy informs her that they’re about to hurt her friend, Iggy calls her weird (Tish agreeing with him). After taunting her for long enough, Luka launches himself into Iggy, knocking him into the puddle, which in turn deforms half of his body (much to the horror of Tish). The two bullies then run away, with Tish not being seen for the rest of the branch.

### If “Rumble” Was Chosen at “Whether Weather”

Beside Perennial Harvest’s headquarters, Tish is with Iggy as he sets off fireworks to mess with The Clipboards.

### If “Hard” Was Chosen at “A Beginner’s Guide to Hostile Interrogation”

During William Kerr's speech, Tish is seen in the crowd and gets trapped in ice along with the rest of the residents of Beacon Pines (a fate that most likely befalls her whenever the town becomes frozen in other endings).

### If “Hum” Was Chosen at “Fire and Ice”

Tish is seen in the crowd when Sharper Valentine makes his return.

### If “Malice” Was Chosen at “Windows to The Soul”

As Luka, Rolo and Beck needed a distraction to break into Perennial Harvest’s HQ, the group decided that Iggy and Tish would be the best people to enlist to do such a thing. When they had finalized their plan, Luka was tasked with asking the two for their assistance, though the two still had the prior day’s “tickle attack” in mind as he approached them. Iggy soon had that thought replaced with intrigue, however, when Luka asked for help. The two were fully onboard with the heist when he brought up the strange occurrences recently happening in Beacon Pines and how the plan involved causing chaos. Luka then offered the two to come over to the treehouse after the heist, and though Iggy was hesitant to show this while Luka was present, he and Tish were immensely grateful for the invitation, with Tish even crying a little and, for the first time in the game, saying more than her usual “Yup”.

Whilst Rolo was trying to get past the reception area, Iggy and Tish started setting off fireworks as their distraction. When The Clipboards approached them, the duo sprinted off while Iggy cackled in delight.

She is later seen in the crowd of Sharper’s speech and witnesses his ultimate fate.

### If “Change” Was Chosen at “The Vile Vial”

Between the time of Chapter 8 and the game’s Epilogue, Tish and Iggy started hanging out in Mission Control.

In Epilogue, they can be found helping out with the treehouse’s expansion (as they needed more space due to the increase in regular occupants), with Tish pulling Iggy up and down while he’s in a harness trying to improve the angle of the antenna (despite Rolo’s insistence that the angle isn’t the problem with it). When Luka arrives, Rolo departs, though not before assigning Tish as in charge while he’s gone, to which Tish acknowledges with a “Yup”.

## Trivia

* Despite her sprites depicting her with orange hearts on her dress, her portraits lack this feature.
* Out of all of the characters with portraits, she (unsurprisingly) has the least amount of dialogue.
