From 《君の名は。 (角川つばさ文庫) (新海 誠;ちーこ)》,

> まだ十歳くらいか、ツインテールでツリ目がちの、生意気そうな子どもだ。

My inferred translation:

> She was a kid with slanted eyes and a pony tail who looked like she was
> around 10 years old and cocky.

But I don't know what role ちの plays or how it changes my translation.

There is also no usage found for this vocab word on jisho:
<https://jisho.org/search/%E3%83%84%E3%83%AA%E7%9B%AE%20%23sentences>

But I did find two usages for 目がち:
<https://jisho.org/search/%E7%9B%AE%E3%81%8C%E3%81%A1%20%23sentences>

However, when I look up verbs for ち I can't seem to find anything that fits
with eye (unless I am misunderstanding the sentence):

Is ちの a verb stem in ツリ目がちの?
Thanks to Eiríkr Útlendi for guiding me to the answer. I will summarize it for
everyone's convenience down below:

If you search がち but nothing appears in the dictionary, please make sure you
include the Kanji.

がち stands for 勝ち which has the following [definitions
(weblio)](https://www.weblio.jp/content/%E3%81%8C%E3%81%A1):

> がち
>
> ［形動］《俗語。「がちんこ」から》真剣に。まじめに。本気で。「がちで頭にきた」 がち【勝ち】
>
> ［接尾］名詞や動詞の連用形に付く。
>
> １ …が多い、…する傾きがある、…に傾きやすいなどの意を表す。「後れ勝ち」「病気勝ち」
>
> ２ それのほうが得をする意を表す。「早い者勝ち」
>
> [補説] 1は、かなで書くことが多い。

With that being said, it would be safe to translate `ツリ目がち` to be `with
slanted eyes`. This is further supported by Chocolate's related link (伏し目がち:
(na-adj) with eyes downcast).

Hope this helps.
