tfnt is one of the deities who were portrayed in the form of a lioness in Heliopolis, ancient Egypt, such as sxmt in Memphis, bAstt in Bubasta, and mnHyt in Esna. It was developed by the priesthood (the beginning of creation) in Heliopolis in order to present a vital model in the universe. According to (cosmic) theology, tfnt was the daughter of the god tm and the wife and sister of the god Sw, who represented the eye of ra where the left eye was the eye of the sun and the right eye of the moon.

tfnt appeared in the Pyr.T in the Old Kingdom, and in the texts of coffins in the Middle Kingdom, and it can also be depicted in the form of a complete anthropomorphic female lion (a lioness), but it was most often depicted in a human voice and the head of a female lion (a lioness) and tfnt main cult centers were in Heliopolis. He was her sanctuary as one of the local deities in that great city, and in Lentopolis (Modern Hill) more recently in the Delta where she and her husband Sw were worshiped in the form of a pair of lions, represented on amulets and paintings in the late period and may be the most famous local deity around her cult centers.
