Tiffany Nicole Gowen was a "Peppermint Patty-type" gal pal of Chris's from high school, as well as "a bit of a tomboy". Despite the fact that they haven't spoken in fourteen years, Chris remains obsessed with reestablishing contact with her.
In High School
Chris remembered that "she was really good to me" in high school, and has described their relationship as "close, yet separate, like [Peppermint] Patty and Charlie Brown."[1] They sat together for lunch, and she attended his eighteenth birthday party. Tiffany was the only student to console Chris when he cried and ran away during graduation.[2] Presumably she was one of the few individuals to willingly show kindness and tolerance for him, whether out of sympathy or genuine good-heartedness.
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:

Since High School
The emptiness Chris found in life after high school caused him to idealize that period of his life and the people he had known then. Tiffany held a special place in his memories because he believed that her asking him to dance at prom meant that she was attracted to him. Unfortunately, because he was "naive about dating," he had been unable to ask her out. When he discovered the concept of dating at age 21, he became convinced that if only he could see her again, they could become sweethearts. Alternatively, he yearned to travel back in time and ask her out in 2000.[4] In 2011, ten years since he had last seen "Tiff," Chris made a special LittleBigPlanet dedication to her, in the hope that she would see it and contact him.[5] His efforts to organize both the ten-year and fifteen-year Manchester High School reunions was largely driven by his focus on "paying her back" with another dance and "finding closure" with her.[6] He called her "my closest friend," even though, remember, they hadn't exchanged words since the millennium.[7]
For most of 2013 he tried to track her down. In August, Chris posted on the CWCki Forums to ask if any trolls knew how to get in touch with her.[8] In October, Chris stated on Facebook that he has been attempting to contact Tiffany but had been unable to do so.[9] "Tiffany Gowen...Where are you? I feel so lost right now...," he lamented.[10]
A leaked email suggests she is disturbed by his activities post-graduation and has purposely made it difficult for Chris to track her down.
