Tiffany Matoria

Tiffany Matoria is a character role-played by Biscuit.

General Description
Tiffany has the appearance of one who once was quite beautiful, however certain lifestyle choices have left her looking empty, ragged, and tired. She has premature wrinkles - or rather stress lines - creasing her forehead, giving the appearance of 10 years beyond her age. Her eyes are sunken, poorly veiled by running makeup from a breakdown earlier in the day - or perhaps earlier in the week, and hasn't been washed off yet. Her skin is pale and spotted with blemishes. She is often seen stumbling around - either due to some substance or lack thereof. She has several compulsive nervous ticks, like biting her nails and pulling at her ear.

Childhood
Tiffany grew up with her sister, Vickie Matoria, in a fairly typical home with a distant father. One year older than her sister, she was the first to move out to the city and try and make something of herself. She had a passion for medicine, and chose to pursue the path of a paramedic.

Adulthood
Tiffany was a promising medical student - she did very well in her tests, had high recommendations and was on the path to graduate from medical school. Unbeknownst to her at the time, her sister Vickie had fallen in deep with a mafia. Links to this in the family caused her to be fired and removed from her medical training, at which point she was left confused and alone.

She would frequently speak with her sister, discussing their events at the end of the day. This was problematic for Vickie's husband, whom Tiffany had never met. This man would go on to meet Tiffany incognito, and offered her a large sum of money to leave the country and go on a long vacation. Given her recent dismissal, and her lack of money, she eagerly accepted without looking too much into it.

In 5 years time she returned, looking for her sister. Her sister was nowhere to be found. She put the pieces together, the mob, the money, and blamed herself for not stopping it when she had the chance. She turned to drugs, mainly cocaine, and fell in with a biker gang called The Resurrected who used her for prostitution. During this time she killed two people - one of them a police officer - and in an attempt to forget, went on several benders involving drugs, both large in quantity and variety.

She managed to track down two of Vickie's closest friends, Mazikeen and Vinnie Wright - who also happened to be members of her brother-in-law's mafia. Eventually they told her of her sister's murder, and took her to the place where they left her body.

Current
Tiffany is currently battling both grief and addiction withdrawals. The years of drug abuse has left her mind absent, and she often forgets key details and disassociates from reality. She is plagued by hallucinations, often seeing things that cannot be real - however usually she can differentiate them from reality. She has a medical marijuana prescription, but has otherwise been clean for over a week.

She recently convinced recently unretired stunt-jumper Stevil Knevil that she was a manager, and organised a local event where he would jump a pagoda. She made $800 from the event and Stevil is still in recovery.
