Tifany has been in the web for the past 1.5 years, however when she walked in late to the first day of class, DJ said: “Who are u?”  Dedicated to being petty, Tifany loves to be petty. Apart from being very high maintenance, Tifany enjoys relaxing and minding her own business.  If Tuna is the chicken of the sea, then Tifany is the chicken of Ames High.
