...IFIT CAME TO THAT, THE BOOK NEVER GAVE YOU THE EVIDENCE "OF ANYTHING. ITTALKED ABOUT 'A HANDSOME PRINCE'... WAS HE REALLY, OR WAS IT JUST BECAUSE HEWAS A PRINCE THAT PEOPLE CALLED HIM HANDSOME? AS FOR 'A GIRL WHO WAS AS BEAUTIFULAS THE DAY WAS LONG'... WELL, WHICH DAY? IN MIDWINTER IT HARDLY EVER GOTLIGHT! THE STORIES DIDN'T WANT YOU TO THINK, THEY JUST WANTED YOU TO BELIEVEWHAT YOU WERE TOLD...ANYWAY,SHE PREFERRED THE WITCHES TO THE SMUG HANDSOME PRINCES AND ESPECIALLY TO THESTUPID SMIRKING PRINCESSES, WHO DIDN'T HAVE THE SENSE OF A BEETLE. THEY HADLOVELY GOLDEN HAIR, TOO, AND TIFFANY DIDN'T. HER HAIR WAS BROWN, PLAIN BROWN. HER MOTHER CALLED IT CHESTNUT, OR SOMETIMES AUBURN, BUT TIFFANY KNEW IT WASBROWN, BROWN, BROWN, JUST LIKE HER EYES. BROWN AS EARTH. AND DID THE BOOK HAVEANY ADVENTURES FOR PEOPLE WHO HAD BROWN EYES AND BROWN HAIR? NO, NO, NO...IT WAS THE BLOND PEOPLE WITH BLUE EYES AND THE REDHEADS WITH GREEN EYES WHO GOTTHE STORIES. IF YOU HAD BROWN HAIR YOU WERE PROBABLY JUST A SERVANT OR AWOODCUTTER OR SOMETHING. OR A DAIRYMAID. WELL, THAT WAS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN,EVEN IF SHE "WAS "GOOD AT CHEESE. SHE COULDN'T BE THE PRINCE, AND SHE'DNEVER BE A PRINCESS, AND SHE DIDN'T WANT TO BE A WOODCUTTER, SO SHE'D BE THEWITCH AND "KNOW "THINGS, JUST LIKE GRANNY ACHING-"THE WEE FREE MEN" BY SIR TERRY PRATCHETT
Tiffany Aching is a fictional character in Terry Pratchett's satirical Discworld series of fantasy novels. She is the protagonist in 4 of his books in which she grows from nine-year old to a girl of sixteen in the last published book. HER STORIES OFTEN PARALLEL MYTHIC HEROES' QUESTS, BUT ALSO DEAL WITH TIFFANY'S DIFFICULTIES AS A YOUNG GIRL MATURING INTO A RESPONSIBLE WOMAN. During the course of the series Tiffany grows to be a witch, however her powers are rather cognitive than magical. She possesses First Sight, the ability to see 'what is really there' (as opposed to Second sight, which shows people what they think ought to be there) and Second Thoughts, which are defined as 'the thoughts you think about the way you think'. AS A WITCH AND A YOUNG WOMAN, SHE OFTEN FACES STEREOTYPES, PREJUDICE AND SOCIAL PRESSURE BUT ALWAYS KEEPS DETERMINED TO STAND HER GROUND AND FIGHT INJUSTICE.
