Tiff

Tiff is a Deuteragonist in the anime Kirby: Right back at ya and Shin Hoshi no Kaabi. She is one of the children of Sir Ebrum and Lady Like and the older brother to Tuff who lives in King Dedede's Castle along with Fololo and Falala. She is a very intelligent Cappy who lives in Dreamland and took part in the defeat of Nightmare/NME in the first season of the anime. She has great friendship status with Kirby and helped him discover the secret of the Star Rod. In Shin Hoshi no Kaabii she is a bit older and now is more about studying the history of planet popstar itself and not just Dreamland.

## Appearance

Tiff is a pale yellow-skinned young girl who is about twice Kirby's height with long blonde hair that she keeps in an ornate ponytail held by a purple and two orange clasps and expressive shiny green eyes. The bottom of her eyes have three small eyelashes on each side. She almost always wears a one-piece outfit which is pastel pink on the top with puffy sleeves and light green on the bottom that is separated by a zigzag and orange shoes.

Neither Tiff nor her family are Cappies; the only similarity between them is their yellow skin color. Other than that, the design of their heads, eyes, and limbs are completely different.

## Personality

Tiff is best known for her intelligence and short temper. She loves to read, learn, and teach. Her favorite subject is marine biology and she has a large collection of seashells. She also enjoys archaeology and in the sequel series she is investing in learning about the rest of Popstar as a geographer, so she often joins Professor Curio in his research. Unlike the other children in the series, Tiff is not always seen to act very playful or childish and she is also portrayed as a very independent character.

However, Tiff is a very high-strung individual who gets angry easily, and is sometimes quick to resort to violence (though she's not always happy to do so). Despite her intelligence, she tends to be very naïve and idealistic, reflecting her youth and inexperience. She can be very stubborn and this leads to her occasionally forcing her ossified values and ideals onto others. She also doesn't know everything, like the moment she thought the characters in a poorly-made animation are moving only to be reminded by her mother that they're standing still (or in the Japanese version where she was amazed at the camera work instead only to be reminded that it's only to fool the viewers). Tiff is also quite highly prideful, and her pride often makes her an easy target for others as shown when she stated she wanted to collect the Karate Kid figure before it was revealed to be another one of N.M.E.'s monsters.

She's very passionate about protecting the environment and nothing annoys her more than when others, often King Dedede, try to ruin it and its inhabitants. She describes Kirby as a baby, and is shown to care for him with all her heart. She gets much more sophisticated in the sequel anime and becomes more experienced because of all that has happened.

## Trivia

Tiff in the new fictional anime being no longer so Idealistic makes her the first of the main characters from the first anime to go through this kind of change.
