Tiffany Blum-Deckler



Tiffany Blum-Deckler is a member of the Fashion Club. She is largely known for her stupidity.

Character Overview
Tiffany is a member of the Fashion Club of Lawndale High. She is portrayed to be stupid and terminally narcissistic. She speaks with a semi-Valley Girl drawl.

She is in many of Quinn Morgendorffer's classes.

Tiffany's Stupidity
It is difficult to exaggerate this character's stupidity. Many of her scenes in the show deal with this, and it is often used as the basis of the humor in her scenes. Tiffany's stupidity defines the character and is critical to it.

For example, in the episode It Happened One Nut, where Tiffany, volunteering as a career counselor "to help the socially challenged," is unable to get through what appears to be a simple, written speech that serves as an introduction to the counseling program.

In the Season Two episode The Daria Hunter, Tiffany appears to switch her loyalties from Sandi Griffin to Quinn at the drop of a hat. This led to speculation in the fan community that perhaps the character wasn't as stupid as she appeared to be, and perhaps was even attempting to take over the Fashion Club by using Quinn as a wedge against Sandi. However, subsequent episodes appear to have indicated that, yes, she really is that dumb. More excellent examples of her stupidity are found in the episode Fat Like Me.

Jewish Tiffany
Because of her last name, Tiffany is usually seen as Jewish. Nothing is ever done with this concept in the show, and Tiffany's entire religious side is summed up in the (unintentionally) ironic comment she makes in "Dye! Dye! My Darling": "I love philosophy."

Adopted Tiffany
Also because of her last name and her Asian appearance, she is usually depicted as an adopted child. Her ethnic origins are debated but usually boil down to Chinese, Japanese, or Vietnamese. Her biological mother is occasionally named as Angela Li, for obvious reasons.

Fantastic Tiffany
Many fanfic authors have commented that because Tiffany is portrayed as so unintelligent and one-dimensional, it is difficult to elaborate on her character. This leads some authors to reveal that she is actually a robot, an alien, a super-hero, or has some other surprising twist in her background that no one knows about. But all we know she is just a mutated fugu fish ;)
