Tanya is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. A treacherous and deceiving Edenian, Tanya has served as a minor antagonist in the series, siding with many of the major villains in the series. She serves as a major ally to the half-Tarkatan Mileena.
Tanya made her playable debut in Mortal Kombat 4 and appeared in a few games after until being one of the many characters in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.
Tanya returned in Mortal Kombat X as a non-playable fightable character while also serving as a minor antagonist in the game’s Story Mode. She later appeared as a DLC character, being the second available through DLC as part of the Kombat Pack.
Tanya is a slender, gloomy woman from Edenia. Originally introduced as an ostensible innocent, she was quickly revealed to be corrupted by evil, a worshiper of Shinnok and an ally to the Brotherhood of Shadow. After Shinnok’s defeat, she later served Shao Kahn, the Deadly Alliance, and Onaga. Tanya seems to view herself as a survivor more than anything else, justifying her choices as being the “right decisions“. She is one of the few henchwomen from the Mortal Kombat series, and prides herself on her superior knowledge of magic and diplomacy. Because of her frequent betrayal of the Edenian cause, she has earned the rivalry and bitter hatred of Jade.
In her first appearance in Mortal Kombat 4, Tanya wore the standard female ’ninja’ leotard, in yellow and black. Unlike the other female ninja characters like Kitana, Mileena, Jade and Skarlet, she did not wear a mask. She kept her hair back in a single braid. In MK4, her signature weapon was the boomerang.
Upon her return in Deception, now revealed to be a villain, Tanya maintained her yellow and black color scheme, but now had longer hair with blunt cut bangs and sinister glowing white eyes. Her primary outfit consisted of a revealing yellow and black bustier with matching skirt. As an alternate costume, she wore a version of her MK4 costume without exposed cleavage. The boomerang weapon from MK4 was replaced by the kobu-jutsu tonfas.
In Mortal Kombat X, Tanya has her hair cut in a graduated angled bob with blunt bangs, but retains her general color scheme and glowing eyes from Deception. Her clothing is styled in a more ornate fashion similar to Ancient Egyptian clothing, with a midriff-baring top, a menat necklace, and several bracelets. Like the other returning female characters, she shows less skin than before, now wearing black tights with gold paneling, low heeled tall boots, and a gold skirt. Her kobu-jutsu weapon style from Deception returns, along with a new weapon: the naginata. While in her Pyromancer variation, she has markings on her back, shoulders and torso that glow when she activates her power.
Tanya was the only character introduced in Mortal Kombat 4 to appear as a playable character in the following games until Mortal Kombat Armageddon.
Tanya is one of many characters who has the ability to turn invisible in the Mortal Kombat series. Others include Reptile, Smoke, Chameleon when in Reptile’s form, Khameleon, Noob Saibot, Predator, Mileena, Triborg when shapeshifting Smoke and Shang Tsung when morphed into Reptile in Mortal Kombat 11, however it is not used during gameplay.
Tanya, Khameleon and Mileena are the only females to use this ability.
An interaction between Tanya and Tremor, in addition to some interactions with Mileena in Mortal Kombat X, and Mileena’s Arcade ending in Mortal Kombat 11 suggests that Tanya is one of three LGBT characters in the Mortal Kombat series, possibly being the second bisexual character, after Mileena. The first LGBT character was Kung Jin.
While it is confirmed that Kung Jin is indeed homosexual, it has yet to be confirmed whether or not Tanya is in fact bisexual.
