Terry Pratchett: I started writing my new book when I was 17-years-old". The Guardian. 10 July 2014 . Retrieved 22 April 2016. Tiffany has also read the entire dictionary, although she sometimes has difficulty with pronunciation. She has an innate talent with languages - a side effect of her possession by the Hiver. The occupation of her mind by the creature that collects minds has left her with shadows of those memories, including a deceased, didactic wizard named Sensibility Bustle, who translates any foreign word inside her head upon hearing or seeing it. In addition, Tiffany is able to hear "Spill Words", the words almost spoken but left unsaid, a skill she learned from Mrs. Proust, a skill often mistaken for the ability to read minds.

Welcome to the Discworld (1996) – an 8-minute animated television adaptation of a fragment of Reaper Man. On the other side of Tiffany's reality, there is the Fairie, a surreal dream-like place — and when I say dream-like, I'm referring not to the warm fluffy place of children's book but the dreams from which you wake up screaming and covered in sweat. “This is a dream, after all, Tiffany told herself. It doesn’t have to make sense, or be nice. It’s a dream, not a daydream. People who say things like “May all your dreams come true” should try living in one for five minutes.”But nothing in this fantastical and yet horrifying world is ever prepared for Tiffany with her logical mind and common sense and fierce desire to protect anything that is *hers*. " Yes! I'm *me*! I am careful and logical and I look up things I don't understand! When I hear people use the wrong words, I get edgy! I am good with cheese. I read books fast! I think! And I always have a piece of string! That's the kind of person I am!"

As the witch of the Chalk, Tiffany Aching performs the distinctly unglamorous work of caring for the needy. But someone—or something—is inciting fear, generating dark thoughts and angry murmurs against witches. Tiffany must find the source of unrest and defeat the evil at its root, for if she falls, the whole Chalk falls with her. . . . The Shepherd’s Crown (41st Book) In I Shall Wear Midnight it is revealed that in the future, Tiffany is able to exert a limited amount of influence over events throughout the timeline with the help of Eskarina Smith, the main character of Equal Rites. Initially it appears that the Baron's son Roland and Tiffany will marry as he clearly has a strong affection for Tiffany and is willing to play the Hero and go to the underworld to return the Summer Lady to Discworld and thereby help Tiffany. Tiffany herself denies having any affection for Roland, but there are many signs that she does have feelings for him, even though she will not admit them. However, both eventually recognize that the fact that they are different from everybody else does not mean they have anything in common, and Roland marries a local noblewoman (and latent witch) Letitia Keepsake. Tiffany develops a new love interest with Preston who is a guard for the baron. Preston aspires to study medicine at the Lady Sybil Free Hospital in the city of Ankh-Morpork, under Dr. John Lawn, and then start a medical practice of his own up in the Chalk. In The Shepherd's Crown, Tiffany is still romantically attached to Preston, who has become a surgeon, though, given their devotion to their jobs, they rarely have time to see each other. She visits him in Ankh-Morpork, and they write letters. This section possibly contains original research. Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations.

In The Wee Free Men, nine-year-old Tiffany Aching, a budding witch in a country that does not take kindly to witchcraft, has her first encounters with the supernatural world of Discworld. Intelligent and reasonable and practical, she takes it quite in stride - and so when her world is threatened by the invasion of monsters from the not-so-nice fairy tales, she firmly stands her ground, armed with little but a frying pan, analytical reasoning, common sense and Third Thoughts ( "And Tiffany thought: No, that was a Third Thought. I’m thinking about how I think about what I’m thinking. At least, I think so.") and supported by a rowdy clan of the Mac Nag Feegle (the titular Wee Free Men) - a race of blue-skinned six-inch-tall pesky warriors who speak in vaguely Scottish dialect and are terrified of the evil also known as Lawyers. In Dec. of 2007, Pratchett disclosed that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. On 18 Feb, 2009, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.Thud, 2002, by Trevor Truran, publisher The Cunning Artificer. It resembles ancient Norse games such as Hnefatafl, and involves two unequal sides, Trolls and Dwarves with different moves and 'capture' abilities. [85]
