TIFANI AHREN DAVIS

as Princess Ruto

As an actor, Tifani has worked locally in Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois while living in Cincinnati, Ohio. She began acting at fifteen in theater but pursued International Relations in college, specializing in Middle Eastern studies. However, a opportunity to work on costumes on a film set brought her back to acting and she traded the stage for the camera.  In fact, she has spent eight years cosplaying and was the one to create the "beta" versions of the Link and Ganondorf costumes for Legacy's trip to the Ohio Ren Fest!

​

She has more than 50 commercials to her name, as well as starring in the Clever Girl webseries, and has appeared in a string of films and shorts including the Hallmark movie A Christmas Melody. She now also works as a photographer, taking headshots for her fellow actors as well as fantasy shoots.

"I've known Tifani for a few years now, and she is a constant inspiration. Not only has she has found great success in the industry, but she is an amazing person. She's helped me tremendously in my efforts to create a truly inspiring Zelda film, and I wanted to involve her in the cast somewhere, I just didn't know where. When the part of Ruto came out of rewrites, I'd been playing with the idea of her in the part, but I wasn't sure until Tifani offered me a very specific video

audition of sorts. I think she respected me for that, for not just giving her the part but giving justice to the source material first. We both love the Zelda series at our core, and with her on my side, it's been a much easier weight to bear."
