when caught she used tears and compliments to avoid trouble . this mostly succeeded , and became easier to accomplish as she aged and better assets than dimples and tears became available to her . the need for pretty things only got worse as she got older and her mother was more than willing to teach her eager daughter the tips she'd learned .

in spite of the wide eyed bambi she played tiffany did well in school achieving high marks that earned her a scholarship to gotham university where she studied finances . the intent was to work in finance to support her own lifestyle , but a supposed affair with the dean ruined her scholastic career leaving her deep in debt after her scholarship was revoked . moving back home with her mother , tiffany managed to catch the eye of a young elite who enjoyed spoiling her especially after obtaining advice on money handling .

unfortunately the relationship ended abruptly when her spending out paced his ability to create funds as he fumbled more often than not the advice she gave him . when the negative balance was discovered he was furious , dragging her into an alley to berate her before beating on her to vent months of frustration . what neither was expecting was for roman to find them in the alley, having been looking for her boyfriend for the money he owed .

the sound of the gun so close startled her . though not so much as the extended hand hovering in front of her face . after confirming that she had been the now dead man's girlfriend , subjected to a brisque examination , he took her to the hospital to have the broken cheekbone cared for then took her home . leery of the cinderella - esque vibe tiffany was relieved when he explained that she'd play arm candy and kept girl to pay back the debt the dead man couldn't .

that worked fine for her , once she got a handle on the tells of his temper and how best to change his sour mood into one that meant less damage to the girl he kept in pretty dresses and luxurious furs . the arrangement lasted longer than she had assumed it would , becoming one of roman's favourites letting him dress her up anyway he liked . his pretty baby doll , which is what he called her instead of her name as did everyone else as that's how she was introduced .

after a while even tiffany had trouble remembering her name . she no longer had need for a driver's license or id as anywhere she went was on the arm of roman , or with one of his money clips or credit cards . everywhere she went she was roman's baby doll and the nickname stuck while her name faded into obscurity even with her own mother .
