Get to Know Your MI501st :: October, 2009

Tiffany Murphy
Legion ID: 1332
Joined May, 2007

Tiffany has been a fan of Star Wars since she was a kid, watching the original trilogy on cable. Her inspiration for joining the 501st was originally to have a really cool Stormtrooper costume, but then discovered that the 501st Legion was a BUNCH of Stormtroopers and other Star Wars characters that liked to hang out, make money for charity, and have fun!

Tiffany's favorite event to date was the Whitecaps Star Wars Night in 2007, because she got to go onto the field a do a bunch of crazy stuff in armor. Tiffany says that "being in the 501st makes me feel like I am giving back to the world by helping raise money for the less fortunate."

Outside of the Legion, "Cujo," as most of us know her, is a full time student who is working towards getting her EMT license and is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. When asked about her nickname, she said "it was a nickname given to me by my Tae Kwon Do instructors many years ago. It just sort of stuck." She is also an admitted Internet and gaming junkie who likes to play World Of Warcraft.
