Not only is she beautiful, wealthy, and white, it's her legacy--her grandmother, her mother, and even her sister wore the crown before her. Everyone in Lovett knows Tinsley would do anything to carry on the McArthur tradition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNo one is more certain of that than Duchess Simmons, Nova's best friend.
