Lori Kurli Jiffjeff, née Tennan, (born November 2, 1980) is a Gruenberger diplomat, lawyer and political figure, generally considered to the nation's foremost expert on international law. She is currently Legal Aide to the Gruenberger Office of UN Affairs.

She briefly served as Acting Ambassador to the United Nations after Moltan Bausch's dismissal, during which time she passed the Child Pornography Prohibition.
She married Pettikart Jiffjeff at the age of 18; he died three years later, leaving her to raise their only son, Pippi, alone.
Early life
Family
Lori Tennan was born the only child of Humtar and Gerrada Tennan in Helldon, a small village in Gruenberg's mountainous north. Her father was a blacksmith fitting horses with shoes for the journey to the Holy City, and she grew up in considerable poverty, with little contact with the wider world. She did however read widely, and developed a strong sense of national and religious identity. Her parents both passed away during the especially harsh winter of 1996.
Shortly after moving to Merlefurt to study law, she met Pettikart Jiffjeff, a Navy officer from a rich and distinguished family. The two quickly married, and conceived a child, Pippi. Tragedy struck three years later when Pettikart was killed during a routine training operation. She has since raised Pippi alone, and has vowed to "honour her husband's memory" by not remarrying.
