History: Mary Louise Washington met Martin Allen Rivers while they were both students at Rutgers University. They both eventually earned Ph.D.’s and became full-time, tenured professors at the University of Arizona. Mary Louise taught Literature and Art while Martin taught Mathematics and Quantum Physics.

Tiffany was born in May of 2292. It was Mary Louise’s decision to give birth at home. She was in great health and had a dislike for hospitals. "Missy," as they nicknamed her, was the light of their lives and they doted on her.

Martin and Mary Louise taught their daughter to read at an early age. By the time Tiffany started school she was way ahead of the other children. This caused some problems for her and set her apart from the other kids. A school counselor’s private talk with the parents made them acknowledge that they were pushing their child’s learning too fast.

Tiffany was popular in high school and attended all of the games, dances and played piccolo in the school band.

Tiffany’s decision to join Starfleet Academy after high school didn’t set well with her parents. They had hoped she would attend University of Arizona and live at home. Being the only child, her parents were very strict where she was concerned. After Missy entered the academy, they were very supportive and visited her often in San Francisco.

Tiffany Rivers graduated four years later with a degree in psychology and recreation. She chose a career that would involve working with people.

LTJG Tiffany Rivers was assigned to the USS PHOENIX to replace Melissa Wells.
