Tiffany Gowen
Tiffany Nicole Gowen is a "Peppermint Patty-type" gal pal of Chris's from high school, as well as "a bit of a tomboy".
Chris has described their relationship as "close, yet separate" like Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty.[1] In 2011, ten years since he last saw Tiffany, Chris made a special LittleBigPlanet dedication to her, in the hope that she would see it and contact him. He has also started calling her "Tiff" for some reason.[2]
Seinor Prom
Chris's greatest memory of her, which he will never forget,[1] concerns their senior prom where Tiffany was dared to play America's second favorite game - dance the autistic:
“ | But that night, my trusted "Peppermint Patty"-Type Gal-Pal, Tiffany Gowen, asked me to dance with her. I hesitated at first, but she grabbed my hand and pulled me onto the dance floor. We danced for what felt like hours. It was the most pleasant experience of that night, and I thank her for dancing with me then. I hope to return the favor at our Reunion. | ” |
