| 11 | Chucky's girlfriend from when he was human, Tiffany is the secondary antagonist of the next four films. Madly devoted to Chucky, she spent the next 10 years after the events of the first film searching for her lover in hope of reuniting with him. When she finally finds him, things eventually turn sour and Chucky ends up transferring her soul into a doll like him as revenge. She and Chucky attempt to find human hosts for themselves while exploring their complicated relationship. |

| 13 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 14 | |
| 15 | [[folder:A-F]] |
| 16 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: She's this to Nica, who not only does not return her feelings, but hates her for cutting off her limbs and keeping her prisoner for a year. |
| 17 | * ActressAllusion: In the ''Chucky'' TV series, after Junior claims he knows who she is, Tiffany replies, "Aren't you a little too young to have seen ''[[Film/Bound1996 Bound]]''?" This is a reference to the 1996 film Tilly starred in. |
| 18 | * AffablyEvil: In contrast to Chucky, Tiffany can be genuinely sweet and caring. She admires Jesse’s love for Jade, and is concerned about Glen even before [[spoiler:learning that he's her son]]. |
| 19 | * AffectionateNickname: She calls Jesse "Sweetface" in ''Bride'' and does it again with Glen in ''Seed''. |
| 20 | * AintTooProudToBeg: [[spoiler:Unsuccessfully pleads to Nica for the latter not to kill her when she tries to exact her revenge for keeping her hostage and removing her limbs.]] |
| 21 | * AntagonistTitle: The fourth film's title, ''Bride of Chucky'', alludes to Chucky proposing to her during the movie. |
| 22 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: [[spoiler:Does this when she attacks and beheads Chucky after he tries to get either her or Junior to kill Nica.]] |
| 23 | -->'''Tiffany:''' I'm done with you, Chucky. I'm done with your petty shit, and your [[SmugSnake massive ego]], and your [[TeenyWeenie tiny fucking dick]]. |
| 24 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She's the girlfriend of Chucky, a sociopathic serial killer. To be fair, [[BirdsOfAFeather she's a killer as well]], albeit AffablyEvil. However, she ashamedly questions her preference for bad boys to herself at the end of ''Bride'', wondering “Why can’t I ever get it on with the real good guys?”. |
| 25 | * ApologeticAttacker: [[spoiler:After killing Meg, she cries and repeatedly says that she is sorry.]] |
| 26 | * ArchEnemy: [[spoiler: To Nica, due to raping her and cutting off all their limbs.]] |
| 27 | * AscendedExtra: After largely being DemotedToExtra in ''Curse'' and ''Cult'', she regains her prominence in the tv show. |
| 28 | * AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Her death can come off as this considering she aided Chucky in murdering her acquaintance Damien.]] |
| 29 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: [[spoiler:Tiffany is able to figure out Nica is posing as Chucky when she sees her chewing her fingernails and after she stabs her in the leg and the paraplegic captive doesn't feel anything, and by extension, notice.]] |
| 30 | * AxCrazy: Actually more so than Chucky himself. Both Chucky and Tiffany kill people ForTheEvulz, but Chucky generally acts rationally when trying to get what he wants. Tiffany, on the other hand, is usually more unpredictable moment-to-monent because she's impulsive, prone to emotional outbursts, and often indulges in rather extreme forms of self-deception. In other words, Chucky is evil, but Tiffany is both evil and ''insane''. |
| 31 | * TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:In ''Seed'', Tiffany succeeds in her goals of acquiring Jennifer Tilly's body and transferring Glen and Glenda into human bodies.]] |
| 32 | * BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: [[spoiler:In ''Seed'', while Jennifer tells Redman to "drop dead" due to his disrespect of her, Tiffany is the one who actually kills him for the act.]] |
| 33 | * BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: Subverted. Tiffany is shown to be very caring toward her pet spider in ''Bride''. |
| 34 | * BadassLongcoat: She has her signature black jacket which emphasizes her gothic aesthetic. |
| 35 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Chucky invokes this after she reacts negatively to her doll transformation, reminding her that she previously wanted to marry him. |
| 36 | -->'''Chucky:''' You got your wish. You're mine now doll. |
| 37 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason she is reluctant to kill Nica when ordered by Chucky. |
| 38 | -->'''Tiffany:''' At least she treats me with a little respect. |
| 39 | * BerserkButton: Like Chucky, it doesn't take much to piss Tiffany off. |
| 40 | ** She doesn't like being taken advantage of, such as when Chucky told her to start washing dishes right after she made meatballs and cookies for him. |
| 41 | ** While she kills for fun, she hates when people she has an affection for are treated like crap. |
| 42 | *** When she catches a couple stealing the money she gave Jesse and Jade after they get married, she wastes no time killing them with a champagne bottle and a ceiling mirror. |
| 43 | *** When Redman insulted Jennifer Tilly, Tiffany who at a moment in her life where she vowed not to kill, snapped and gutted Redman. |
| 44 | ** She also hates when her beliefs about marriage are laughed at. Chucky learned that the hard way twice; once when she mistakenly thought he proposed, and the second time when Jesse and Jade used her own advice against her by starting an argument between them. |
| 45 | * BigBadDuumvirate [=/=] TheDragon: Sees herself as the former, though Chucky sees her as the latter. |
| 46 | * BloodSplatteredWeddingDress: Happens in both ''Bride'' and ''Seed'' as her doll's outfit is a wedding dress she trimmed that gets splattered with blood usually due to her or Chucky killing someone. |
| 47 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: She has no qualms about killing people who upset her or get in her way, but she has very firm, traditional views regarding promiscuity. In ''Seed of Chucky'', she scolds Jennifer Tilly for the latter's willingness to have sex with Redman for a part in a movie, asking her where her self-respect is. |
| 48 | -->'''Tiffany:''' You know me. I'll kill anybody, but I'll only sleep with someone I love. |
| 49 | * BreakoutVillain: Her complex characterization, gothic aesthetic, and Jennifer Tilly’s excellent performance made her an instant hit with audience. She quickly became the most recognizable character in the franchise after Chucky himself and appeared in every installment since her debut. She also became heavily integral to Chucky’s backstory. [[spoiler: Originally she was just Chucky’s girlfriend in his human life. The tv show revealed that she gave Charles his nickname “Chucky” and is actually responsible for him being a killer doll.]] |
| 50 | * BrokenPedestal: When finally reunited with him, Tiffany discovers Chucky had no intention of marrying her, which had fueled her motivation for wanting to find him for the last decade. She then loses all interest in him and even keeps him locked up. |
| 51 | * BullyingADragon: Her teasing of Chucky in ''Bride'' comes off as this, considering that she knows he's a dangerous murderer who can still cause great harm to others even in a small, doll body. |
| 52 | * TheCameo: [[spoiler:InUniverse example. She shows up at Bree Wheeler's funeral and kisses her widower, in front of their son as well before quickly leaving. This was part of a ploy by Chucky to turn Junior against his dad.]] |
| 53 | * CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: She and Chucky have broken up and gotten back together more times than one can count. While they continually betray, berate, and murder each other, they always end up reconciling over their mutual love of homicide and the depraved. |
| 54 | * CantKillYouStillNeedYou: [[spoiler:She tries to invoke this to Chucky when he demands that she kill Nica, citing her as part of him, but Chucky doesn't budge.]] |
| 55 | * {{Catchphrase}}: "My mother always told me / said...." |
| 56 | -->'''Chucky''': God, enough with your mother already! I killed that bitch 20 years ago and she still won't shut up! |
| 57 | * CelebrityParadox: She happens to both look and sound exactly like her real-life actress. This is lampshaded constantly in ''Seed'' when she uses her voice over the phone to fool others into thinking she's actually Tilly. Come ''Curse'', she's straight-up using Jennifer's star power to help Chucky with his plans. |
| 58 | * CharacterDevelopment: It’s subtle but she becomes less loyal to Chucky as the series progresses. |
| 59 | ** In ''Bride'', she was extremely devoted to Chucky, wasting the majority of her life to reunite with him and had a chest tattoo of a stabbed heart with Chucky written above it. While she breaks up with him, it’s very clear she’s not over him. After she finally realizes at the end that Chucky will never change, she loses the will to live motivating her to stop the soul transfer, saving Jesse and Jade believing they made a perfect couple and that she and Chucky deserved to be in hell. |
| 60 | ** In the climax of ''Seed'', Chucky decides they should give up being human and accept their new life as dolls. Tiffany breaks up with Chucky as she wants to become an actress instead of spending the rest of her life as a doll showing that she learned to move on with her life without Chucky. At the end of ''Seed'' which takes place five years later, Tiffany is happy with her new life as an actress with no hint she misses Chucky. |
| 61 | ** [[spoiler:Even after she’s back together with Chucky, she doesn’t get a Chucky tattoo showing that she isn’t as devoted to him as she once was. She’s more willing to do things behind his back like cheating on him with Nica. This culminates in her breaking up with Chucky for good, even going as far to reveal that she’s the reason he’s a killer doll.]] |
| 62 | * CharacterShilling: In-Universe example. In ''Seed'', Tiffany talks highly of Chucky as the doll lays on top of Damien's stomach [[spoiler:before Chucky reveals he's alive and kills the latter.]] |
| 63 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: In ''Bride'', Tiffany is shown to know less about magic than Chucky, which requires her to partner with him in order to get a human body again. In ''Seed'' however, ''she'' informs him of the acceleration of a pregnancy caused by magic. |
| 64 | %%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Sometimes, due to her bizarre morality. |
| 65 | * ColorCodedEyes: After transferring her soul into the doll, she gains a pair of green eyes. Her human self has brown eyes. |
| 66 | * CommonalityConnection: Tiffany and Chucky share a lack of empathy for others and a willingness to kill those that get in their way. While they initially work together reluctantly to get human bodies, the pair's attraction to each other increases during their killing spree and being impressed by each other's brutalities. |
| 67 | * CopKiller: She kills a policeman in each of ''Bride'', ''Curse'' and ''Cult''. |
| 68 | * TheCorrupter: [[spoiler:Tiffany showing up at Bree Wheeler's funeral and later giving Junior Swedish meatballs (which she claims is his father's favorite) plays an important role in his HeelFaceTurn.]] |
| 69 | * CrazyPrepared: [[spoiler: Tiffany goes to every length to make her relationship with Nica last. First she removes her limbs so that Chucky cannot hurt her when he's in control, and then she keeps her in a locked room in a home with a gate that she can lock on her phone. It takes the combined efforts and planning of Glen, Glenda, and Nica to get the latter out of the house.]] |
| 70 | * DamselInDistress: She becomes this in the climax of ''Bride'' when Jesse takes her as a hostage and exchanges her for Jade as the latter is used for the same purpose by Chucky. |
| 71 | * ADayInTheLimelight: [[spoiler:The TV series episode "Death on Denial" focuses on Tiffany's attempts to keep Glen, Glenda, and her party guests from going in the locked room she's keeping Nica hidden in with a murder mystery game.]] |
| 72 | * DeadpanSnarker: She has her snarky moments, mainly towards Chucky. |
| 73 | * DeliverUsFromEvil: A variation in ''Seed''. After discovering she has a child, she attempts to give up killing. [[spoiler:[[SarcasmMode Guess how well that turns out...]]]] |
| 74 | * DemotedToExtra: She was Chucky’s co-star in ''Bride'' and ''Seed'', receiving just as much screen time and development as him. After ''Seed'', she significantly lost screen time with her role in ''Curse'' and ''Cult'' basically amounting to delivering Chucky to places he wanted to be. |
| 75 | * DepravedBisexual: Becomes one in [[spoiler:the TV series as she really loves having sex with Nica, and also cause she regards the real Nica as a much nicer person than Chucky whenever Nica's soul revisits her body]]. She's also shown attraction to Chucky himself. |
| 76 | * DisposingOfABody: [[spoiler:In ''Bride'', after Chucky kills Damien, Tiffany cuts the body up and hides the corpse in a briefcase that she has Jesse place in her car.]] |
| 77 | * DotingParent: Demonstrates a bit of this upon discovering Glen is her son. |
| 78 | -->'''Tiffany:''' ''[to Glen, overjoyed, holding her arms out]'' Come to Mommy! |
| 79 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:In ''Seed'', Tiffany succeeds in acquiring Jennifer Tilly's body after having to kill the latter's director, follow her to the hospital, and narrowly avoid being killed by Chucky after breaking up with him.]] |
| 80 | * EasilyForgiven: WordOfGod says that she can't keep herself from helping Chucky, even after being repeatedly murdered by him.[[invoked]] |
| 81 | * ElectrifiedBathtub: [[spoiler:The cause of her death in ''Bride''. Chucky makes her television fall into her bathwater.]] |
| 82 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first time we see Tiffany, at the start of ''Bride'', she kills a police officer after bribing him into giving her Chucky's remains. This shows that she is a murderer (like the very person she is trying to resurrect) and does it seemingly out of enjoyment. |
| 83 | * EvenBadWomenLoveTheirMamas: Constantly brings up something her mother used to say out of reverence. |
| 84 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite being a {{Sadist}} and a serial killer, she does have a couple moments of showing standards. |
| 85 | ** Despite not being above thievery herself ([[spoiler:demonstrated by how she steals Officer Bailey's lighter right after killing him]]), she's rightly upset after seeing the promiscuous female con artist stealing Jade and Jesse's wallet in ''Bride''. She even rebukes the woman's behavior to Chucky. |
| 86 | ** Tiffany is disgusted by Jennifer trying to seduce Redman for a movie role, as it goes against her own morals of only sleeping with a man she loves. |
| 87 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Tiffany genuinely loves Glen [[spoiler:and their twin Glenda. This is made apparent when she begs for Nica to spare her from death so she can be there for her kids and rushes Glen away to get them some care after they TakeTheBullet for her.]] |
| 88 | * EvilParentsWantGoodKids: In ''Seed'' as she tries to stop killing for Glen. |
| 89 | * EvilRedhead: [[spoiler:Was one in her youth as far the television series is concerned.]] |
| 90 | * EvilWearsBlack: At least a few times she's worn black and she's shown to be villainous. |
| 91 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: [[spoiler:At some point between taking Jennifer's body in ''Seed'' and her reappearance in ''Curse'', Tiffany dyed her hair from its natural black to blonde to match her original human body's hair color.]] |
| 92 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:It doesn't stick, but as she lays dying from the axe Chucky hit her in the head with, she calmly talks to Glen before closing her eyes.]] |
| 93 | * TheFashionista: Tiffany is notable for sporting many stylish outfits whenever she is shown in human form, and the first thing she does when she becomes a doll is give herself a makeover. |
| 94 | * FashionableEvil: Evil as she is, Tiffany is known to be very stylish, sporting many glamorous looks throughout the series. |
| 95 | * FemmeFatale: She isn’t above using her attractiveness to further her goals. Somewhat [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] compared to most examples as she will only sleep with someone she loves so she won’t use sex as a manipulation tactic. |
| 96 | * FieryRedhead: [[spoiler:When she still had her original human body, her natural hair color was red instead of blonde. Fitting considering her short temper.]] |
| 97 | * FriendToAllChildren: [[ZigZagged Zig-Zagged.]] Despite being a murderous serial killer, she appears to have something of a soft spot for children, as she shows concern for Glen even before learning they were her child. [[spoiler:However, she is shown laughing about Alice’s death with Chucky, but also takes Caroline under her wing rather quickly after the girl thinks she's her real mother, and is shown being content living with her.]] |
| 98 | * {{Foil}}: |
| 99 | ** ''Film/BrideOfChucky'': |
| 100 | *** Tiffany and Chucky are both killers who enjoy murdering people both before and after becoming dolls, but whereas Tiffany wants to settle down with him, Chucky (at the time) was solely interested in becoming human again and is not (initially) interested in marrying her. [[spoiler:While Chucky is onboard with taking Jesse and Jade's bodies, Tiffany has a change of heart and betrays him. In ''Seed'', their differences are further contrasted by Tiffany wanting to become human again while Chucky decides he likes being a doll.]] |
| 101 | *** Tiffany and Jade both have previously dated their respective male counterpart before the movie begins and have romantic interest in Jesse. Whereas Tiffany is murderous and not under any investigation for her crimes, Jade is harmless and is on the run for murders that she did not commit. While Tiffany flirts with Jesse and her attraction is unrequited, Jade marries Jesse and the latter wants to spend the rest of his life with her. [[spoiler:They both also have a role in stopping Chucky, as Tiffany holds Chucky off long enough for Jade to break free, and the latter kills him.]] |
| 102 | ** ''Film/SeedOfChucky'': |
| 103 | *** Tiffany and Jennifer both desire to be more famous than they already are and also have a goal that they are unsuccessful at attaining, as Tiffany wants to give up killing but cannot and Jennifer wants to revitalize her career but fails as well. Whereas Jennifer will sleep with a man to get a role in a movie, Tiffany frowns upon such acts as unladylike. Tiffany does not want to have more kids after having Glen at the end of ''Bride'' while Jennifer (although shocked) never shows regret or an unwillingness to have children. |
| 104 | [[/folder]] |
| 105 | |
| 106 | [[folder:G-Y]] |
| 107 | * GigglingVillain: Which makes it a DistaffCounterpart of Chucky's recognizable EvilLaugh and giggles. |
| 108 | * {{Goth}}: She has a general gothic appearance and is a killer like Chucky; her becoming a KillerDoll just makes her creepier and adds to this vibe. |
| 109 | * GlamorousSingleMother: [[spoiler:In the final scene of ''Seed'', Tiffany is shown to be single and perfectly capable of supporting Glen and Glenda through Jennifer Tilly's wealth.]] |
| 110 | * GothGirlsKnowMagic: She learned enough voodoo to revive Chucky in the fourth movie. |
| 111 | * {{Greed}}: ''Seed'' follows Tiffany pursuing Jennifer Tilly to possess her so she can live Tilly's opulent lifestyle as a movie star in Hollywood with lavish luxuries. The TV series later reveals that Tiffany has blown away nearly all of Tilly's $100 million net worth and has exploited Tilly (stuck in the Tiffany doll body locked in a bird cage) as a slave to pay the bills by playing online poker and voicing Bonnie on ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. |
| 112 | * GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: Despite not showing up until ''Bride'', the season finale revealed she made an enormous influence on the original trilogy. She was the one who ratted Chucky out to Mike Norris leading into his transformation into a killer doll.]] |
| 113 | * GuttedLikeAFish: [[spoiler:Her kill of Redman in ''Seed''. She cuts him from the stomach and his insides pour on the floor.]] |
| 114 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:In ''Bride'', as Jade and Jesse are pinned down, and Chucky is about to perform the spell to enable a possession of the two, Tiffany stabs Chucky and explains that they belong dead after what they've become. While Chucky doesn't stay down for long, the betrayal does allow Jade and Jesse enough time to free themselves.]] |
| 115 | -->'''Tiffany:''' Oh, Chucky look at us. Don't you see? We belong dead. Goodbye, darling. I'll see you in hell. |
| 116 | * HiddenDepths: You expect her to be your typical seductive villainess. Tiffany is seductive…but there’s a twist. She does seduce people to further her goals but she is against sleeping with someone she doesn’t love. She isn’t fond of sluts and was disgusted to find out her idol was prostituting herself to get a part in a movie. |
| 117 | * HoistByHerOwnPetard: Twice in her debut. |
| 118 | ** She dumps the bride doll in Chucky's playpen with the ring on its finger. Chucky uses the ring to saw his way out of the playpen. |
| 119 | ** When talking with Jesse, she states, "When a woman spends all day slaving over a hot stove for a man, the least he can do is the dishes.". Later in the movie, Jesse and Jade both use this to get Chucky to provoke Tiffany, which gives Jade the opportunity to kick Tiffany in the oven and Jesse the chance to disarm Chucky. |
| 120 | * HollywoodAtheist: Tiffany appears to be an atheist or to have some disdain for religion. In ''Seed of Chucky'', while reading her book about breaking addiction, she scoffs at the idea of giving herself over to a higher power. In the TV series, [[spoiler: before killing Detective Gavin, she asks him if he's ever had to go against his own values as a Christian in order to protect someone he loves. When he responds in the affirmative, she slits his throat and jeeringly exclaims that she hasn't, and that values are for losers.]] |
| 121 | * HopelessSuitor: Tiffany is this to Jesse in ''Bride'', after she discovers Chucky never intended to marry her. She flirts with Jesse by complimenting his muscles, poses suggestively, and inquires about his plans to see if he's interested in spending time with her. Jesse rebuffs her due to his relationship with Jade. |
| 122 | * HourglassPlot: Tiffany and Chucky find themselves in this position with regard to their roles in the climaxes of ''Bride'' and ''Seed''. [[spoiler:In ''Bride'', Chucky and Tiffany initially are both fine with switching bodies with Jesse and Jade, only for Tiffany to stop Chucky when he begins doing the ritual that will make them transfer their souls. In ''Seed'', Tiffany and Chucky initially are both fine with switching bodies with Jennifer Tilly and her driver, only for Chucky to decide at the last minute that he does not want a human body and thus, not perform the ritual. In both instances, they agree to a plan, but the other changes their mind when their plot is near completion and botches it.]] |
| 123 | * {{Hypocrite}}: |
| 124 | ** In ''Bride'', she chides Chucky about how he constantly stabs people and needs to be more creative. She herself has a go-to method of murder as well: throat slashing. |
| 125 | ** In ''Bride'', while talking to Chucky, she rebukes the behavior of the promiscuous female con artist, Diane, who steals Jesse and Jade's wallet. She remarks, "That thieving slut; she doesn't deserve to wear that ring." Tiffany is, at the very least, not above stealing from people after she's killed them, as shown earlier in the film when she slits Officer Bailey's throat and then takes his lighter. The series also revealed that on the night she first met Chucky, Tiffany engaged in heavy petting with another female club patron that she and Chucky took to a hotel room. However, it's possible her personal rules against going to bed with someone she's not seriously in love with only apply to men. |
| 126 | ** In ''Seed'', she scolds Chucky for still killing when they were going “cold turkey” in regards to killing despite her killing Redman. |
| 127 | * ICanChangeMyBeloved: During ''Seed'', Tiffany believed in converting Chucky into a peaceful law-abiding citizen who doesn't kill people anymore. |
| 128 | * IconicOutfit: The bridal dress that sometimes includes a black jacket is the appearance most synonymous with Tiffany's doll and every version of the doll has been seen wearing this ensemble. |
| 129 | * IconicSequelCharacter: She’s so iconic to the franchise at this point that it’s easy to forget that she wasn't in the original trilogy. |
| 130 | * IfItsYouItsOkay: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Cult'' she seems perfectly fine to continue her relationship with Chucky even though he's inhabiting a female body. Commenting with a shrug, "It works for her."]] |
| 131 | * InkSuitActor: Her doll form is a basically creepy miniature caricature of her actress Jennifer Tilly. Initially, when Tiffany has her soul transferred into the bridal doll for the first time, she was a brunette, much like Tilly's real-life hair color, before she dyed it blonde along with changing the rest of her appearance to resemble a doll version of her human form. |
| 132 | * InvincibleVillain: Throughout ''Bride'' and ''Seed'', there are multiple instances (particularly toward the end of each film) where the viewer is led to believe that Tiffany has died, only for her to be revealed as alive soon after. |
| 133 | * IJustWantToBeSpecial: In ''Seed'', Tiffany desires to possess Jennifer Tilly's body so she can become famous. |
| 134 | -->'''Tiffany:''' Hun, I want to be Jennifer Tilly. I want to be a star. |
| 135 | * IWillFindYou: Tiffany spent ten years looking for Chucky after his first murder spree as a doll. |
| 136 | * ItMeantSomethingToMe: She had a one-sided devotion to Chucky on the assumption that he would marry her while he never held these intentions. |
| 137 | * JerkassHasAPoint: She's no saint herself, though she still has her moments of making accurate points. |
| 138 | ** In ''Bride'', she's rightly upset after seeing the promiscuous female con artist stealing Jade and Jesse's wallet. She even rebukes the woman's behavior to Chucky. |
| 139 | ** In ''Seed'', she's absolutely right that Creator/JenniferTilly shouldn't be prostituting herself just to get a part in a movie. |
| 140 | ** She was right in episode 8 of ''Chucky'' when she pointed out to Chucky that he needed her to successfully carry out his EvilPlan, with Chucky even realizing she's right. |
| 141 | * JustInTime: While it at first appears that she failed, [[spoiler:Tiffany is able to complete the ritual to transfer her soul into Jennifer just before Chucky hits her in the head with an axe as retaliation for her breaking up with him.]] |
| 142 | * KissOfDistraction: [[spoiler:She kisses Chucky to lower his guard before she stabs him.]] |
| 143 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:She gets executed in the second to last episode of the third season of the TV series, in a way that makes it clear she won’t be back.]] |
| 144 | * LackOfEmpathy: [[spoiler:She seems to have no regrets about cutting off Nica's arms and legs, even telling her that she removed ''Chucky's'' arms and legs, as though it excuses the act.]] |
| 145 | * LasciviousBeautyMark: Tiffany is a FemmeFatale sadistic serial killer, who wears [[MsFanservice sexy]] and [[DarkIsEvil dark]] outfits with [[MakeupIsEvil heavy makeup]]. Though while she isn't above flirting and seducing people to get what she wants, she refuses to actually sleep with people she doesn't genuinely love. In both her doll and human forms, she has a mole above her lip to complete her very obvious Creator/MarilynMonroe inspired look. |
| 146 | * LastRequest: [[spoiler:In ''Seed'', before she seemingly passes away from an axe to the head, Tiffany requests that Glen be "a good girl or boy" and not make the same mistakes as his parents.]] |
| 147 | %% * LaughablyEvil: Like Chucky. |
| 148 | * LegendaryInTheSequel: [[spoiler:In ''Bride'', Tiffany is a little-known former lover of Chucky. Come ''Seed'', however, and she's notable enough to be a lead character in the Hollywood film ''Chucky Goes Psycho'']] |
| 149 | * LickingTheBlade: She has a routine way of killing that involves slitting a victim's throat with a nail file, filing her nails with said nail file, and licking her blood-covered finger afterward. In ''Cult'', she [[spoiler:licks the whole nail file in addition to licking her finger after killing the asylum's security guard this way]]. |
| 150 | * ALighterShadeOfBlack: She's a psychopathic serial murderer, but compared to Chucky, she's considerably more empathetic and demonstrates some limits. |
| 151 | ** In ''Bride'', when Tiffany is rejected by Jesse who informs her that he's already seeing someone, Tiffany respects his relationship with Jade and gives no indication of wanting to hurt either one of them. Even after hatching a plan to steal their bodies with Chucky (likely due to proximity/necessity), she still feels compassion for and protection toward them, remarking at one point that they make a cute couple and that it would be a shame to break them up. [[spoiler: It even culminates in Tiffany allowing Jesse and Jade to escape in the end.]] |
| 152 | ** In ''Seed'', upon meeting Glen/Glenda, she rebukes Chucky after the latter insults his/her appearance, and asks Glen/Glenda with concern where his/her mother and father are; this of course before realizing who Glen/Glenda is. The film also reveals that Tiffany sees killing as an addiction or bad habit rather than something to be proud of. She makes a genuine attempt to stop killing to set a good example for Glen/Glenda. |
| 153 | ** In the series, she admonishes Chucky for killing a mother [[spoiler: (Michelle Cross)]] on Christmas Eve, and later apologizes to the daughter [[spoiler: (Lexy)]], saying that doing such a thing is "just tacky." |
| 154 | * LipstickAndLoadMontage: Has a montage in ''Bride'' where she modifies her doll's appearance to match the look of her human body. |
| 155 | * LiteralDisarming: [[spoiler:In ''Chucky'''s first season finale, Tiffany cuts off Nica's arms and legs so Chucky cannot fight back against her when he possesses her body.]] |
| 156 | * LittleBlackDress: Wears one at the start of ''Bride''. |
| 157 | * LittleStowaway: Tiffany, Chucky, and Glen are this when they sneak into the backseat of Jennifer Tilly's limo in ''Seed''. |
| 158 | * LivingToy: Just like Chucky, she spends several entries being a plastic doll animated by a human soul. |
| 159 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler:Chucky attempts to this to her in ''Seed'' by not telling her about his killing of Pete Peters, but she finds out when she sees a picture Chucky and Glen took together with the corpse.]] |
| 160 | * MadeOfIron: After becoming a doll, Tiffany can withstand [[spoiler:getting burned in an oven after Jade kicks her in, stabbed in the stomach by Chucky (after she turns on him), and hit in the head with an axe (by Chucky after she breaks up with him). She even thought she was dying during the last one, but the TV series reveals that her doll body withstood the attack, as Jennifer (now in the doll body) was shown with the scar of the axe.]] |
| 161 | * MakeUpIsEvil: A villainess who wears makeup in her doll form and has worn it at least once as a human. |
| 162 | * MeaningfulName: Her maiden name is “Valentine”. Kinda fitting for a romantic like her. |
| 163 | * MommasBoy: Kinda gender-inverted as "Momma's Girl" is more accurate. She frequently references advice that her mother gave her. In ''Seed'', we find out that Charles Lee Ray killed her mother, probably because she got in the way of their relationship. |
| 164 | * NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:Had Tiffany not rebelled against Chucky in the climax of ''Bride'', they would have almost certainly succeeded in acquiring Jade and Jesse's bodies, as Jade only broke free ''after'' Tiffany's betrayal.]] |
| 165 | * NightmareFetishist: She's captivated by murder and gore, which shouldn't come as a surprise given that she's a SerialKiller. In ''Bride of Chucky'', when she thinks Damien has finally killed somebody, she asks him for the details with rapturous joy. She seems to also like more run-of-the-mill or harmless things that are spooky--spiders (she has a pet tarantula in ''Bride''), HorrorFilms (she watches ''Film/BrideOfFrankenstein'' in ''Bride'') and {{Goth}} decor. Additionally, she doesn't seem to consider Chucky's grotesque, stitched up appearance a turn-off at all. |
| 166 | * NobleDemon: She's almost as ruthless and sadistic as Chucky. Unlike him though, she is capable of empathy as she does care about those close to her. She has a soft spot for children as she was concerned about Glen even before learning he was her son. |
| 167 | * NominalHero: [[spoiler:She becomes this in the final act of ''Bride'' after turning on Chucky, and unsuccessfully tries to defeat him to save Jade and Jesse.]] |
| 168 | * NonActionBigBad: She’s more of a schemer than a combatant. She’s a skilled serial killer but seems to be outmatched when faced with someone with actual combat experience. She has never won a straight up fight against Chucky. |
| 169 | * NotAfraidToDie: She seems to become this after her doll transformation in ''Bride'', [[spoiler:remarking to Chucky that they belong dead after turning on him.]] |
| 170 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:After being burned in an oven and stabbed in the heart, she lays motionless on the ground when Preston approaches her body, thinking she is deceased until she screams as she gives birth.]] |
| 171 | * NotWhatItLooksLike: [[spoiler:Says this verbatim when Glen and Meg walk in on her chastising a caged Jennifer (in her former doll body) for lying to her.]] |
| 172 | * ParentsAsPeople: She isn’t a perfect parent to Glen, what with her accidentally exposing him to violence and trying to dictate that he be a girl and not a boy aggravating Glen psychologically. Despite this, it’s very clear that she loves him. She tries to stop killing to give Glen the life he deserves and is fine with him making his own choices. Tiffany and Glen actually have a strong bond. She’s definitely a better parent to Glen than Psychs and Chucky. She’s actually a better parent than Lucas who is against his son making his own choices. |
| 173 | * PerkyFemaleMinion: A PerkyGoth who is just as evil and sadistic as the doll she is paired up with. |
| 174 | * PimpedOutDress: She wears a sparkling and satin red one to a surprise party in the TV series. |
| 175 | * PoliticallyCorrectVillain: Despite being a {{sadist}}ic serial killer, she's fine with her child deciding to be gender fluid. [[spoiler:She also eventually falls in love with Nica (a paraplegic woman) in ''Chucky'']]. |
| 176 | * PrimAndProperBun: Tiffany puts her hair in one after she changes outfits for her surprise party in the TV series. |
| 177 | * PsychopathicWomanchild: She's almost as evil as Chucky, and is just as immature as he is. She throws a huge tantrum involving her screaming at Chucky even [[TantrumThrowing throwing dirty plates at him]] for asking her while she was cooking for him to wash the dishes while she's at it before splitting the argument into two directions: one about the domestic duties and the other about their sex life. |
| 178 | * PsychoPink: At least twice she's worn pink and she's shown to be a vile serial killer. |
| 179 | * RagsToRiches: She started out living in a van. Since becoming Jennifer Tilly, she's been able to afford a mansion and [[spoiler:72 expensive Good Guy dolls.]] Lampshaded by Tiffany herself in the series when, while explaining to Glen why she raised the twins as a Jennifer Tilly imposter, she bluntly states that Tiffany Valentine is a loser while Jennifer Tilly is a beautiful movie star. |
| 180 | * RedemptionRejection: [[spoiler:In ''Seed'', she considers giving up killing to set Glen a better example, and at the end of the movie, she starts a new life raising Glen and Glenda in their human bodies. Unfortunately, at the end of ''Cult'', it's revealed she's gone back to her old ways, killing people with Chucky all over again.]] |
| 181 | * RefusalOfTheCall: Disappointed that he never intended to marry her, Tiffany initially refuses to help Chucky get a human body, even stating her preference for him remaining a doll. [[spoiler:It takes her becoming one herself to get her involved with his quest.]] |
| 182 | * RememberTheNewGirl: She reveals she was around the time the events of the first film occurred, found a ring from Chucky's Lakeshore Strangler victims on the floor at the destroyed toy store on Wabash Street, thinking it was an engagement ring and was established as Chucky's girlfriend even before the films which was oddly never referenced (not even by Chicago police nor Det. Mike Norris with Chucky's voodoo teacher John mentioned as his only connection to him, unless of course she was very good at keeping a such an obscure low profile that no one at the time acknowledged her connection to the Lakeshore Strangler) in the original 1988-1991 trilogy until ''Bride''. |
| 183 | * RetiredMonster: Her goal was essentially this in ''Seed''. She wanted to get out of the whole killing business altogether to focus on being a good mother to Glen and being an actress. It didn’t last as she’s straight up back to killing in the following installments. |
| 184 | * {{Retirony}}: [[spoiler:Tiffany grants this to Fulvia when she quits wanting to babysit her children due to her fear of Glenda, killing the nanny with her doll.]] |
| 185 | * TheReveal: [[spoiler:After killing Meg and tearing up, Tiffany calms down and reveals her true identity to Glen when the latter asks who she is.]] |
| 186 | * {{Sadist}}: Very much so. Just look at her [[https://kissthemgoodbye.net/horrors/albums/Bride%20of%20Chucky/BoC_1392.jpg happy expression as she watches a couple she's just caused shards of glass to fall onto scream for their lives]]. |
| 187 | * ScarsAreForever: Subverted. After being pushed into a microwave by Jade, Tiffany's doll body remains burned for the rest of ''Bride'', but she gets a new, clean doll in ''Seed''. |
| 188 | * ScreamingBirth: She shouts as she gives birth at the end of ''Bride''. |
| 189 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: She tells Glenda that they need "to get out of here" after announcing her intention to leave Chucky once he states his preference for remaining a doll. |
| 190 | * SecretRoom: [[spoiler:In the TV series, Tiffany keeps a gagged Nica in a locked room anytime she has visitors over until Glen and Glenda discover this and break her out.]] |
| 191 | * SeeYouInHell: [[spoiler:Said verbatim before she drops Chucky's severed head.]] |
| 192 | * SerialKiller: Like Chucky, she was one as a human and is one as a doll. ''Seed of Chucky'' illustrates the difference in how they view their homicidal tendencies; Tiffany describes killing as a "drug" and an addiction, whereas Chucky states that it is a hobby. Though starting in ''Curse'', Tiffany seems to be very ecstatic about offing people. In the TV series, she once again describes killing as an addiction. |
| 193 | * ShipperOnDeck: While she does have sort of an affection for Jesse (see below), she encourages his relationship with Jade, even giving him advice. Said advice later becomes ChekhovsGun. |
| 194 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She's madly in love with Chucky, but deep down, she does wish for the devotion of a good man. Her comment lampshades it when Jesse tells her to go. |
| 195 | -->'''Tiffany:''' Why can't I ever get it on with the real good guys? |
| 196 | * SinisterShades: She's a villainess who's worn shades at least once. |
| 197 | * SlashedThroat: Frequently offs her victims via slitting their throats. |
| 198 | * SlasherSmile: She displays this in ''Bride'' as she gleefully watches Chucky hack a policeman to death with his knife and again as she slaughters Diane and Ross, two pickpockets in a motel. |
| 199 | * SlashersPreferBlondes: Inverted. In a rare ironic fashion, Tiffany is a bleached blonde slasher, although she has been killed by Chucky a couple of times. |
| 200 | * SomeoneToRememberHimBy: [[spoiler:She gives birth at the end of ''Bride'', after Chucky has been killed by Jade.]] |
| 201 | * SpotlightStealingSquad: In ''Bride'' and ''Seed'', she was arguably the bigger focus than Chucky. ''Seed'' especially as Chucky takes a backseat and has a much smaller role in favor Tiffany. Even after she lost screen time starting from ''Curse'', she would still find a way to steal the show from Chucky one way or another. [[spoiler:The tv show revealed she's responsible for Chucky being a killer doll as she was the one who ratted him out to Mike Norris.]] |
| 202 | * SurprisePregnancy: [[spoiler:Considering that Tiffany never makes any mention to being pregnant throughout ''Bride'', her giving birth at the end of the film is a surprise to the audience and her as well.]] |
| 203 | * TheStarscream: Having already vented her frustrations about her relationship with Chucky in the TV series, she [[spoiler:cuts his head off]] in the season one finale and completely usurps his scheme. |
| 204 | * StrawFeminist: In ''Bride'', she gets pissed over Chucky telling her to wash dishes right after she made Swedish meatballs and chocolate chip cookies. In ''Seed'', she objects to Jennifer Tilly prostituting herself to get movie roles by chewing her out and then disemboweling the man she was going to sleep with. She also treats her mother's every word as her highest creed of morality. |
| 205 | -->'''Tiffany:''' It's like my mother always said: A woman spends all day over a hot stove slaving away for her man. The least he can do is the dishes. |
| 206 | * TearsOfFear: [[spoiler:In the fourth episode of the second season of the TV series, Tiffany cries as she is about to be shot by Chucky and when Nica successfully flees from her home.]] |
| 207 | * TearsOfRemorse: [[spoiler:Immediately after killing Meg, who discovered that Jennifer was trapped in Tiffany's old doll body, Tiffany cries as she expresses regret for the murder.]] |
| 208 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: How her partnership with Chucky in ''Bride'' begins, as the latter points out that he's the only one who can get her out of her doll body. |
| 209 | * TookALevelInJerkass: She was never ''nice'' per se (being a sadistic serial killer), but ''Bride'' and ''Seed'' established that she has a soft spot for families, children, romance, etc. and is capable of compassion and remorse. Therefore, she could very well become nice if she were to fully reform. In other words, she [[EvenEvilHasStandards has standards]]. She was also more than capable of standing up to Chucky once she felt those standards had been crossed. Evidence of this is how in [[spoiler:''Bride'', she calls off the soul-switch between Chucky, Jesse, Jade, and herself once she sees how in love Jesse and Jade are. In ''Seed'' she's concerned about Glen's safety and feelings even before realizing that he was her son. She's also seen interacting lovingly with other kids at the end of the aforementioned film.]] In ''Cult'', however, she has no qualms about killing absolutely anybody in order to help Chucky, and she [[spoiler:callously laughs off the death of Alice, Nica's niece, like it's nothing]]. This can also double as an OutOfCharacterMoment. |
| 210 | * ToxicFriendInfluence: Heavily implied to be this for Damien, as she is disappointed that he didn't ''actually kill someone'' when he shows her a picture of his supposed victim. |
| 211 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: She's even more crazy about Swedish meatballs than Chucky is. |
| 212 | * {{Troll}}: She has her moments. After she traps Chucky in a playpen in ''Bride'', she gives him a bridal doll to mess with him. [[spoiler:She also withheld the fact that she ratted him out most likely for her own amusement.]] |
| 213 | * TwoferTokenMinority: [[spoiler:She’s bisexual and heavily implied to be half-Asian(Blaise Crocker and Jennifer Tilly are half-Chinese).]] |
| 214 | * UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:Her human body death can be considered this. Tiffany is electrocuted by her own television hitting her bath water and screams and flails her arms while naked until the shocks run their course and she recedes into the foam of her tub.]] |
| 215 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:If Tiffany had never resurrected Chucky in ''Bride'', while under the false impression that he wanted to marry her, she most likely never would have been murdered and certainly would not have been trapped as a doll for years.]] |
| 216 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: She's a beloved actress as Jennifer Tilly with the public unaware that she's a psychotic serial killer who stole Tilly's body. |
| 217 | * VillainousGlutton: She's become one in the TV series after possessing Tilly who was a BigEater herself, much to her embarrassment and Chucky's chagrin. |
| 218 | * VillainousParentalInstinct: She genuinely loves her child Glen[[spoiler:/Glenda and tries to prevent Chucky from killing them]]. |
| 219 | * VillainousRescue: [[spoiler:In the TV series, as Chucky orders Tiffany to kill Nica, she goes against his wishes and instead beheads him, thereby sparing Nica.]] |
| 220 | * VillainessesWantHeroes: |
| 221 | ** In her debut appearance ''Bride'', there were many qualities in Jesse that Tiffany admired that she didn't find in Chucky to the point she asked herself, "Why can't I ever get it on with the real good guys?" |
| 222 | ** [[spoiler:In the TV series, she gets to a point where she states that she doesn't want anything to do with Chucky anymore, due to his big ego and tendency to verbally abuse her. She decides that she likes Nica better simply because Nica treats her with a little respect.]] |
| 223 | * VillainsWantMercy: [[spoiler:When Nica points her gun at Tiffany with the intent of shooting her, the latter begs for her life as she cites her kids needing her.]] |
| 224 | * VisualDevelopment: She originally had a chest tattoo of a stabbed heart with Chucky written above it and the tattoo carried over when she became a doll. After becoming Jennifer Tilly, it’s gone. Possibly to show she doesn’t love Chucky as much as she used to. |
| 225 | * WalkingSpoiler: The ''Chucky'' TV series greatly expands on her origin and also turns the entire franchise on its head. |
| 226 | * WardrobeMalfunction: In ''Bride'' her human form wears such a low-cut top that one of her nipples actually pops out while she's performing a [[YouCanLeaveYourHatOn striptease]] for Chucky. |
| 227 | * WasOnceAMan: Much like Chucky, she used to be a human until he ripped out her soul and trapped it inside a plastic doll. |
| 228 | * WeightWoe: After possessing Jennifer Tilly's body, she develops this in the TV series and Chucky complains she needs to lose weight. |
| 229 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:In the TV series, Tiffany asserts that she took over Jennifer Tilly's body and identity so that her children could be better provided for and proud of her.]] |
| 230 | * WildCard: Her alien view of right and wrong can make her extremely unpredictable. She isn't on any side but her own. [[spoiler:The TV show reveals that despite being Chucky's most prominent accomplice, she is actually the cause for Chucky being a killer doll as she ratted him out to Mike Norris in the first place.]] |
| 231 | * {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler:Becomes one in the television series where she develops a creepy obsession with Nica and is very possessive of her.]] |
