Tiyah Clarke was a substitute teacher who witnessed the Ghostbusters in action and went on a date with Winston Zeddemore. She and Winston are currently engaged.
History
While helping set up decorations in a high school gymnasium for a Valentine's Day Dance, Tiyah Clarke witnessed the Ghostbusters battle and capture two ghosts. She alerted Winston to a falling disco ball. After the capture, she became a true believer and told Winston about her own paranormal problems. The ghost of Ballard Wright was haunting her apartment unit and attacked her male friends due to rejection and misguided feelings. Winston suggested modified equipment so Clarke's apartment unit wouldn't be destroyed during the bust. When the Downgraded Proton Packs weren't cutting it, Winston convinced Wright to disperse. Clarke and Winston later had dinner at her apartment.
Winston and Tiyah continued dating and went steady. During the Ghost Smashers fad, Winston was punched by a fist of living sewage. After the bust, Winston went over to Tiyah's for a shower and some TLC. Tiyah continued to help Winston with his studies in law, secretly hoping he would pursue a career full time as a lawyer. Winston, however, was perfectly fine with working with crazy people. Around Christmas, they were off to drop presents off at the Firehouse before going to Connecticut to visit Tiyah's parents. Near Shepherd's Books off Fifth Avenue, Winston stopped and proposed to Tiyah. She was caught off guard and accepted. The rest of their plans were disrupted when a Ghost Kid appeared in the Firehouse and pleaded for help. Winston and the other Ghostbusters raced off to track the ghost and his pursuer. After Staff Sergeant Adams was captured, Winston and Tiyah took the last train to Connecticut. Tiyah was even more worried a ghost specifically targeted Winston and if ghosts would come up with new tricks against the Ghostbusters.
Tiyah's fears came to light when The Collectors kidnapped the Ghostbusters. After three months, Tiyah began to lose hope they would ever be found. She met with Janine at a Pequod's in Broadway. Janine tried to reassure her the guys were fine and working to get back home. After the Ghostbusters returned home and things settled down relatively, Tiyah was still frazzled by the abduction. She believed the solution was Winston quitting but he was quick to counter it wouldn't work considered what happened with Dana Barrett. Winston refused to rip up his life on the possibility he would be attacked again and reaffirmed he loved both his job and Tiyah. Later in the summer, Winston convinced Tiyah to go on a weekend vacation to Las Vegas. She warned him not to get any ideas about eloping. While in their room, she discovered the upgraded Arm Mounted Proton Pack among Winston's baggage. Winston told the truth and revealed they got a free trip for taking care of a ghost discreetly. Tiyah didn't like getting lied to but since the threat was minor, she wasn't going to let it ruin her first real vacation in years. She advised Winston to deal with the ghost so they could enjoy themselves then she left to get a massage.
