Tiffany has also read the entire dictionary, although she sometimes has difficulty with pronunciation. She has an innate talent with languages - a side effect of her possession by the Hiver. The occupation of her mind by the creature that collects minds has left her with shadows of those memories, including a deceased, didactic wizard named Sensibility Bustle, who translates any foreign word inside her head upon hearing or seeing it. In addition, Tiffany is able to hear "Spill Words", the words almost spoken but left unsaid, a skill she learned from Mrs. Proust, a skill often mistaken for the ability to read minds. a b c d Pratchett, Terry (2005) [First published 2004].

Witches in Pratchett's universe act as herbalists, nurses, adjudicators and wise women who can use magic but generally prefer not to, finding simple but cunningly applied psychology (called "headology") far more effective. And as the twentieth granddaughter of her Granny Aching: shepherdess extraordinaire, and protector of the land, Tiffany knows the most important thing a real witch can do is protect others with their magic. So, when the monsters of Fairyland kidnap her brother, Tiffany decides it’s up to her to defend her home, even if she’s only armed with a frying pan and her common sense. Terry Pratchett interview".
