Tiana & Eudora
Name: Tiana
Age: 19
Occupation: Waitress / Aspiring Restaurant Owner → Restaurateur
Tiana was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her parents, James and Eudora, raised her with strong values—especially the importance of hard work, kindness, and dreaming big. Her father, who served in World War I and loved to cook, inspired Tiana's passion for creating food that brings people together. Tragically, her father passed away before he could open his dream restaurant, a vision that Tiana takes up as her own life goal.
Growing up, Tiana was best friends with the fun and wildly wealthy Charlotte LaBouff, though their worlds were very different. Tiana worked multiple jobs, saved every penny, and devoted her life to building her dream from the ground up.
Hardworking & Determined – Tiana is one of Disney’s most ambitious princesses. She believes dreams come true through action and effort, not just wishing.
Independent & Grounded – She's practical and focused, often putting work above fun, especially early on.
Caring & Loyal – Tiana has a warm heart and cares deeply for her loved ones. She's especially loyal to her parents' memory and her friends.
Strong-Willed – She doesn’t back down easily and faces magical chaos and adversity with grit and cleverness.
Skeptical of Magic (at first) – Unlike many fairy tale characters, Tiana doesn’t believe in magic or fairy tales—until she becomes a frog herself and is thrown into a wild adventure.
Tiana is slender and athletic, with dark brown eyes, black hair usually styled in a bun or updo, and medium-dark skin. As a human, she’s seen in waitress attire, elegant ballgowns, and her iconic green lily pad-inspired gown as a princess. As a frog, she's green with large brown eyes and still carries her graceful spirit.

She works as a talented seamstress in New Orleans, frequently sewing elegant gowns for Charlotte LaBouff, daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the city.

As a widow, she raised Tiana with strong moral values—emphasizing the importance of hard work, family, kindness, and believing in dreams. She has always encouraged Tiana’s dream of owning a restaurant but also reminds her not to forget to enjoy life and let love in.
Gentle & Supportive – Eudora is nurturing, calm, and always there with loving advice or a warm embrace.
Wise & Realistic – While she believes in dreams, she also understands the harsh realities of life and tries to prepare Tiana accordingly.
Elegant & Modest – Her demeanor and appearance reflect a timeless, quiet beauty and dignity.
Empathetic – She’s attuned to her daughter’s emotions and knows when to offer encouragement or comfort.
Eudora is a dignified and beautifully aged African-American woman. She often wears modest dresses and her hair in a neat updo or wrapped in a scarf. Her style is classic and reflective of the early 20th-century southern fashion.
