The protagonist character in Candy Crush Saga is Tiffi, whose name is short for Toffette. She is the game’s recognizable mascot and the character who travels through the Candy Kingdom during the level map’s story.
Throughout the adventure, the player completes puzzle levels to help Tiffi solve problems affecting the kingdom’s residents. Tiffi meets characters such as Mr. Toffee, Mr. Yeti, the Easter Bunny, Odus the owl, and the Bubblegum Troll. Her role gives the match-three gameplay a light narrative structure rather than presenting the levels as disconnected puzzles.
Tiffi is sometimes confused with Kimmy, but Kimmy is associated with Candy Crush Soda Saga, a related game. Mr. Yeti is another recurring Candy Crush character, while Tiffi remains the central protagonist of the original Candy Crush Saga. The game was first released for Facebook in 2012 before expanding to mobile platforms.
