Tiffon (ティフォン,Tifon?) is a playable character from Unlimited Saga. She's an ex-Carrier with a mysterious past and unknown link to Ventus' deceased brother Briza. She was also in possession of the Silver Girl photo that Mythe searches for, having stolen it from Grace in Nivacolina. She joins in Mythe and Ventus's routes.
She is voiced in Japanese by Jō Masako and in English by Shelley Black.
Ventus' Scenario: Playable Character, she joins him very early in the game.
Mythe's Scenario: Playable Character, she joins the party after the events in the old mansion.
Story[]
Tiffon is an important character in Ventus' Scenario, somehow linked to the mystery around the fabled Dragonheart. It is later revealed that she used to be called "Elle" and was Briza's girlfriend until he sacrificed himself to save her. She tries to redeem herself by helping Ventus.
In Mythe's quest, she's caught while trying to steal stuff from the old mansion. Mythe simply wishes to know from whom she stole the painting. She accompanies him from then on.
Battle[]
Tiffon is the only character with an innate Phobia panel. Like the Cursed Gauntlet for Kurt, Tiffon's Undead Phobia occupies the central panel slot, making a line bonus impossible. She does, however, come with a perfect set up to make a Triangle bonus of Locksmith, Defuse and Sharp Eye, which increases her already high Skill stat. Tiffon is therefore a fantastic Dagger user, able to deal large amounts of HP and LP. It is also possible for Tiffon to be used as a mage due to her decent Elemental Growth in every element sans Metal, though the Thief build is a lot easier to pull off due to its accessibility.
It is possible to replace Tiffon's Phobia panel with a different Phobia or Pacifist panel - though the cause of her fear of the undead is explained through Ventus' scenario.
When playing as Ventus, Tiffon will briefly leave the party during the "Dragon's Haven" portion of the main storyline. As soon as you complete the Dragon's Haven mission Tiffon will return to the party with all her panels and equipment intact.
If you fail to replace her Undead Phobia, Tiffon will be all but useless in the fight against the Knights of the Round Table, as they are all classed as Undead monsters.
