"What we need is a nice quiet rescue to soothe our nerves."

Tin-Tin Kyrano is the daughter of Kyrano, the Tracy family's loyal manservant, and the half-niece of International Rescue's arch-enemy, the Hood. She's also the love interest of Alan Tracy.

She completed her education at one of America's finest universities, and enjoyed a tour around Europe. She was amongst the passengers aboard the Fireflash in Trapped in the Sky, outbound from London, en route to joining her father on Tracy Island. But the aircraft was found to have been sabotaged: it could not land without setting off a powerful bomb placed within it. This resulted in the first mission for International Rescue, which ironically she was on her way to join.

On Tracy Island, Tin-Tin assists Brains; on occasion, she also participates in rescue missions - accompanying Virgil, in Thunderbird 2, and into space with Alan, aboard Thunderbird 3.

Her name is the Malaysian word for "sweet".

Biography[]

The first biography on Tin-Tin was published in issue 8 of the Lady Penelope magazine. It reveals her birth country of Malaysia and her interests of swimming, water-skiing, and designing her own clothes. A second similar biography was also published in TV Century 21 issue 82, with her age given as 22.

A more sizeable biography was published in the first Thunderbirds annual. Tin-Tin was educated in both America and Europe, with Jeff Tracy paying her expenses as a token of gratitude towards her father. She studied higher mathematics, advanced technical theory, and engineering, which makes her a vital part of the International Rescue team and agreat assistant to Brains, particularly in laboratory experiments and regular maintenance. A similar biography was also in the joint Captain Scarlet and Thunderbirds annual three years later.

Puppet[]

Tin-Tin was sculpted by Christine Glanville, who may have based her off of former US First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, as some of their outfits resemble the other.
