Juliet Jeffords (Tanya)
Tanya is typically the character that's brushed off as a comedic relief, but now Juliet’s realized that shes so much more: She's the type of friend you don’t have to call for 8 years, and when you finally meet back up, it’s like nothing ever changed. Someone who’s there for you in your darkest times and will make you laugh till you pee your pants and give you hers when you do! Most of all, she’s just a very good friend. These are all qualities Juliet finds in one of the most important people in her life, her first Chiquitita, who taught her that one of the most important things is to be is a good friend, her mom.
