Biography
Tena yistilign! My name is Tihun Habtamu. My mother was a wealthy princess of Ethiopia. She was betrothed to a prince from a faraway land. But when he broke his engagement to Mom, Mom was deeply offended and got help from her fairy godmother, the Fairy of the Spring, to put a curse on the princess who Mom's betrothed wanted to marry.

Years later, Mom reconciled with her former fiance, and married someone else. I am the older of two girls. I have a younger sister named Mihret. I've made friends with Yolande Cerf, the daughter of the prince who rejected Mom.

I go to Ever After High, where Yolande also attends. I have been liking it here. I'm not into my mother's role, since I don't want to be jealous of losing a guy you love, and I definitely don't want to place a curse on anyone (even though I am guilty of it at times). Thus I am a Rebel. I would rather focus on driving a chariot. Mine is pulled by six ostriches. I also have a seventh ostrich, a male ostrich named Ejigu, who I use for ostrich racing. Yolande also races ostriches with me since my mother gave her an ostrich as a present.

I get a lot of praise for my beauty, though most students think that Yolande is prettier - but I do have a boyfriend who prefers me over her.

Trivia
Tihun's surname means "wealthy person" in Amharic, referring to the great wealth of her mother. It is technically her father's name - in Ethiopia, most people use their father's name as their surname.
