==Appearance==
Tiff is a pale yellow-skinned young girl who is about twice Kirby's height with long hair that she keeps in an ornate ponytail held by purple and orange clasps and expressive green eyes. She almost always wears a one-piece outfit which is pink on the top with puffy sleeves and green on the bottom that is separated by a zigzag and orange shoes.

Due to Kirby's inability to speak in full sentences, Tiff can be regarded as the main speaking protagonist of the show, which is accentuated by the fact that she often takes the role of lead character in episodes until Kirby needs to step in to deal with a monster. The show establishes the relationship between Tiff and Kirby as the most prominent one in the narrative, with Meta Knight in particular pointing out that it is only Tiff who can call Kirby's Warp Star due to being the one who cares the most about him. As the show goes on, Tiff becomes the one primarily responsible for Kirby's safety when he isn't battling a monster, and goes to great lengths to defend him from the various schemes of King Dedede or the misgivings of the people of Cappy Town. Due to her youth and inexperience, Tiff often requires assistance at this task, and usually receives the most meaningful advice from Meta Knight, who she looks up to as a mentor. At one point, she even learns self-defense techniques from the masked swordsman, giving her some proficiency in fighting by the end of the series, though still not enough to battle tough monsters.

Aside from her role as Kirby's main guardian, Tiff is usually the first source of expository information about whatever subject matter an episode focuses on due to her encyclopedic knowledge of many things, particularly when it comes to environmental issues. She is often the one who has to educate and/or warn the Cappies about varying phenomenon, whether they end up listening to her or not. Tiff is also usually the one responsible for doing the investigative work necessary to solve the main dilemmas in most episodes, with assistance from her close cohorts including Tuff, Fololo & Falala, and sometimes even Kirby.
