Character Information
Tiana Powell is a savvy, sensible twenty-four-year-old woman who aims to open her own restaurant in Redwood Hollow. She may not have the money for it yet, but every day she works hard as a cook and waitress to improve her craft and eventually reach her dream. Her passions are cooking, baking, and poetry (reading it, not writing it). Her life may seem quite singular, considering her all-consuming pursuit of a distant goal, but Tiana finds joy in places you may not expect. One such unexpected joy is her friendship with rich socialite Charlotte La Bouff. Another is Tianaâs pet rabbit, Doris, who Tiana makes sure to pet fondly every morning before work.
Tiana is hardworking to a fault. Many of her peers have tried in vain to turn Tiana from her work for a single night. Sheâs missed new movies, potential dates, and even her own birthday party that she herself organized for the sake of her jobs. Does Tiana just love cooking that much? Well, yes and noâshe adores cooking, but more than that, she values effort for the sake of a worthy goal. This doesnât mean she would have disliked those new movies or potential dates. Rather, Tiana has become comfortableâperhaps too comfortableâwith sacrifice. Her father and mother raised her with kindness and respect, so kindness and respect are what she gives to others. Those who overly burden others, however, will see a sterner side of Tiana.
Some in Redwood Hollow are well-off, but Tiana is not. She has never lived that lifestyle, despite her close friendship with Charlotte, so aspects of a comfortable life will strike her as strange. Furthermore, her father died when she was a child, so Tiana may come across as sentimental during certain moments (on her fatherâs birthday, for example). Finally, Tiana is a determined person but has little actual experience in a lot of areas (athletics, romance, and social media, to name a few). She will not dazzle if she enters these arenas for the first time, so be warned.
Wanted Connections
a fellow cookâTiana loves to talk shop with other chefs, whether amateur or pro. If your character loves to cook for friends and family or even just likes baking cookies, Tiana would appreciate a chat with you!
a fellow poetry fanâPoetry is something that brings Tiana happiness. If you love poets like Langston Hughes (Tianaâs favorite) or E.E. Cummings, hit Tiana up!
a romantic connectionâTiana is unique in that she is so intensely focused on work, to the exclusion of other things in life. This makes any chemistry she has with another person more slow-burn, with an emphasis on tension. Let me know if youâre interested in giving this a try!
Wanted Plots
road tripâTiana has no interest in leaving Redwood Hollow, but her dream vacation, if she were to ever take one, is a âroad tripâ of sortsâgoing from one side of town to the other over the course of a week, discovering shops and restaurants along the way. She would love a handful of girls to accompany herâŠin the event she ever takes a work vacation, that is.
animal lovers neededâWhen Tianaâs pet rabbit Doris stops eating, Tiana needs to figure out what the problem is. But, more importantly, she craves the comfort of fellow pet owners who know how it feels to have a sick pet.
new hobbyâTianaâs life is very mundane. This would change with a new hobby, be it knitting or gaming. Though Tiana doesnât have much free time, she would actually love to learn something new from a more seasoned hobbyist.
Taken Connections
best friend foreverâCharlotte La Bouff is Tianaâs closest friend, her greatest confidant, her shoulder to cry on. The friends have been inseparable for years now, and Tiana is grateful to Charlotte for everything sheâs done, big or small.
i know youâre troubleâTiana may not know very much about Naveen Maldonia, but sheâs convinced that heâs the most arrogant man sheâs ever met. She is sure that he feels very little empathy for people like her. This angers her.
Other
Wanted Character: Cabell FacilierâTiana and Facilier have a fascinating dynamic in The Princess and the Frog, and I would love to see them clash over their very different values.
Wanted Bio: Moana of MotunuiâTiana and Moana would understand one anotherâs pursuit of a lofty dream. I can see the two becoming good friends.
