DIFFERENCES
Like with most twins, it is often hard to tell which person is which. Tia and Tamera loved to be seen as their own person, so here are some tips on being able to tell them apart. The major difference between Tia and Tamera is the small mole on Tamera's left cheek. Once you start to see more of them (eg when you watch Sister Sister every night) you will not only see differences in their personality, but differences in their faces. Tia's face is rounder than Tamera's, and Tamera is slightly taller than Tia.
Tamera Tia
Of course, they aren't just different in their looks; Tia and Tamera are individuals. Tia is neater than Tamera, Tamera describes herself as being a more private person. Tia is more like Tamera's character on Sister Sister, and Tamera is more like Tia from Sister Sister. They used to watch each other to see how they should act in different situations for the show. Tamera likes to read for fun, whereas Tia would rather go to the movies with friends.
