Tiffany

Tiffany Petrova has been friends with Cassandra since the sixth grade.

Born in 1979 in Sterling, IL, Tiffany’s father is a veterinarian and her mother a homemaker.  Her home is much nicer than her friends’. She has two brothers who are in elementary school.  

Tiffany is a feminist, and her views have scared away guys.  Her heroine is Gloria Steinem.  She believes a woman should only have a man in her life because she wants one, not because she needs one.

She loses her virginity in high school to Patrick Roper who is a fellow member of the track team.

She attends the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, studying photographer. There, she meets Dennis, another photographer, and in 1998 moves in with him.  

Tiffany slowly drifts away from her high school friends, disagreeing with them on such topics as marriage and children.
