Tina

"Fine! I-I HATE YOU TOO!"

- Tina

Tina Williams is Tanisha's little sister, who is introduced in Chapter 9. She befriends Crystal, but after Crystal finds out she is Tanisha's little sister, she is immediately worried. Tanisha reveals that Tina can be overly clingy and obsessive of her friends, but this is due to her not having many friends. She also reveals in Chapter 10 that the only way to end a friendship with Tina is if Tanisha tells her that the person doesn't want to be friends with her anymore. Tina does not believe when people say they don't want to be friends with her, so Tanisha usually ends up having to tell her (Because she WILL believe Tanisha). After Chapter 11, Tina is not mentioned again until Chapter 18, where Crystal reveals that she and Tina are friends again.

Appearance
Tina has dark skin, shoulder length black hair that is usually tied back in braids, and brown eyes. She is 5'5, a bit shorter than Crystal.
