Raised on generous helpings of Disney magic and video games, voice actor Tia Ballard is a bubbly blonde goofball. A Southern girl by heart, this will be the first overseas trip for this small-town Texas belle!

Lately, Tia has hitched up her overalls and set to work on a comic series based on Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. called Koopasta, which she directs, writes, and co-created. Tia is known for her kind disposition, good humor, and friendliness. She loves to cuddle! Ask her for a hug or a high-pitched squealy giggle and she will happily oblige.
