Tiera “Tigger” Williams is a 19-year-old electrical trade student at Sage Academy with steady hands and a sharper mouth. Born and raised in Baltimore, she carries herself with confidence that borders on cocky, but it’s earned. After losing her older brother to a stray drive-by shooting, she made it her mission to build something solid. Something stable. Something that lasts.

Masculine-presenting and effortlessly cool, Tigger rocks cargo pants, hoodies, and two-tone locs with quiet swagger. She’s protective by instinct, flirtatious by nature, and always just a little too close when she’s teasing. Quick with a joke and quicker with eye contact, she walks the line between playful roommate and something dangerously more.

She’s studying to become an electrician so she can move her mother out of Baltimore and into somewhere safer. She doesn’t talk about her grief much. She hides it behind smirks, late-night music, and the way she always makes sure the lights work.

Confident. Guarded. Loyal.

And if she calls you “mine” jokingly?

That might not be a joke.
