Tiffany is the main character in one series of the Discworld novels aimed at the younger audience. Tiffany is a trainee witch whose growth into her job forms one of the many arcs in the Discworld series. Given Tiffany's relationship with Preston, the doctor in the final book, The Shepherd's Crown, it would have been interesting to see what Pratchett did with the historical dichotomy between doctors and the village witch but unfortunately that was not to be. He chose the name "Tiffany" because it evoked anything but a powerful witch. Pratchett chose a young protagonist because when you're young "you have to learn". Throughout the series, Tiffany grows both as a young girl and woman and as a witch. He included ideas of responsibility and "guarding your society" as he felt it drew closer to the reality of a witch – that is, "the village herbalist, the midwife, the person who knew things". But while the creative channel is being held open, all sorts of memories and thoughts creep out, somewhat to the owner's surprise." With Tiffany, Pratchett wanted to "restate" the purpose of magic on the Discworld and the relationship between wizards, witches and others. Pratchett said, "It sounds amateurish to say that characters invent themselves, and in truth they don't. A lot of Tiffany's understanding of the world is based on Pratchett's own experiences. The Wee Free Men features "a lot of past" in its descriptions. In his youth, Pratchett was "fascinated" by a nearby chalk pit, and like Tiffany knew how to read words before being able to pronounce them. Pratchett said that Tiffany Aching ".started with a girl lying down by a river, on the first page of The Wee Free Men".
