Tara Jones, portrayed by Corinna Brown, is a recurring character in Heartstopper. She is best friends with Elle Argent, Aled Last, Isaac Henderson, Nick Nelson, Charlie Spring, Tao Xu, and Sahar Zahid, and is the girlfriend of Darcy Olsson.

Appearance

Tara is a young black girl and the shortest of the Paris Squad, standing at about 5'0". She has black curly hair usually swirling to the sides, though when she goes swimming, she puts them in braids, and when she's sleeping, she stores it in a cap. She's often seen wearing wavy dresses and flats.

Personality

Tara is shown to be straight-laced, quiet and observant. She notices Nick and Charlie hanging around each other, but knows not to overstep her boundaries, and lets Nick tell her the way he wants to. She is ecstatic when hearing that Nick and Charlie are dating. With Darcy, Tara is constantly pranked and lovingly teased by her. Along with Sahar, Tara seems to be the most well-adjusted of the group, having extremely supporting parents and living in a large home. Like Darcy, she's protective of her friends, rejecting Harry from her birthday party since he bullied Charlie constantly.
