About Tanya

Tanya is a slender, gloomy female from Edenia. Originally introduced as relatively innocent, she quickly turned out to be corrupted by evil, as evidenced in her adherence to the worshipping of Shinnok and her later service to both the Deadly Alliance and Onaga. She seems to view herself as more of a survivor rather than anything else, justifying her choices as being the "right decisions". Tanya is one of the few lady henchmen from the Mortal Kombat series, and prides herself on her superior knowledge of dark magic and diplomacy. Because of her frequent betrayal of the Edenian cause, she has earned the rivalry and bitter hatred of Jade. Edenia (Mortal Kombat: Deception). ...

Storyline

It is unknown when Tanya fell to the lure of the dark side of existence. Possible explanations may have been her youth under the harsh regime of Shao Kahn, when Outworld and Edenia were still merged, or her attraction to the forbidden areas of magic, which led her to make contact with Shinnok. Her upbringing on Outworld may also explain her total lack of affinity with her native realm Edenia. Shao Kahn is a boss and recurring playable character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ... Outworld (Mortal Kombat: Deception) Outworld is a realm in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ... Shinnok is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

At any rate, Tanya first appeared on the stage during the events of Mortal Kombat 4. As the daughter of Edenia's ambassador to new realms, she invited a group of refugees fleeing their own world into the peaceful realm of Edenia. However, the refugees were in actuality a disguised Shinnok, along with Quan Chi, and their Netherealm forces. Thanks to Tanya's treachery, Shinnok was free to wage war against the gods. During this time, she attempted to lure Liu Kang into a trap, but the attempt did not succeed, and Shinnok's power base was soon destroyed. With her master gone, Tanya briefly joined Shao Kahn's army. She was tasked to keep guard on the captured Sindel, but Shujinko (asked by Kitana) would defeat her and free the Queen. With her a wanted traitor in Edenia (having earned in particular the wrath of Jade), Tanya quickly abandoned Edenia and went to Outworld.

Years later, Tanya resurfaced in the Deadly Alliance's ranks as an enforcer (although she preferred the term "ambassador" and was not a playable character in the game). She imposed Shang Tsung and Quan Chi's will upon the denizens of Outworld. But when the Deadly Alliance crumbled, Tanya found herself alone once more, and desired to return to Edenia. She was found, however, by Baraka, who gave her the choice of serving the newly resurrected Onaga or dying. She joined the ranks of the Dragon King, who was searching for ancient incantations that would enable him to fuse the Kamidogu into one, and thus acquire incredible power. Believing that such information still existed in Edenia, Tanya brought Onaga to her native realm.

In Tanya's Mortal Kombat: Armageddon ending, the fires of Blaze transform her into a being known as a Dragon Caller. With a mere thought, she was able to summon dragon spirits from the ether into corporeal form. With an army of dragons at her command, she conquered the universe realm by realm. Soon Shao Kahn himself would call her "master".^[1] Blaze is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

Trivia

• Tanya's name comes from Ed Boon's sister, Tania.
• She could be considered to be the single most untrustworthy character in the series. She has betrayed both Kitana and Queen Sindel, her own homeworld of Edenia, her MK4 ending depicts her as betraying Liu Kang, following this she betrays Quan Chi and Shinnok (evidenced by her being with Onaga in Deception), and her Deception ending depicts her as betraying Onaga as well as betraying Shujinko in Konquest mode.
• Tanya's alignment as "evil" was hard to distinguish when she first debuted in Mortal Kombat 4, especially when she was heroic looking and had an innocent profile. Her ending in MK4 (which never occurred canonically) demonstrates her alignment of evil.
• In the revision of MK4 (MK Gold) she is one of the only characters, when the character box was turned, to reveal nothing. Many belief that the scrapped character 'Belokk' would have occupied the box.
• Tanya was for a time mistaken to be a "clone" of Jade, just like Mileena is a clone of Kitana. In development stage of MK4, the development team did intend Kitana to be a playable character, but the decision was made to add a new face instead (Kitana would, however, be accessible through third-party devices, and officially reappear in Mortal Kombat Gold).
• She is one of few characters who uses the invisibility move (named "Find Me") in the Mortal Kombat series. (Others include Reptile, Smoke, Chameleon (when in Reptile's form), and Noob Saibot).
• Despite her character never dying in-game, Tanya returned in MK: Deception, and also MK: Armageddon, with solid white eyes resembling Scorpion's undead eyes. No reason for this change, in-game or behind the scenes, has been given.
• According to her Konquest training in Deception, Tanya was taught the Zi Ran Men fighting style by her father and she learned Yue Chuan during her time in Outworld.
• Also, in Deception's Konquest mode, Tanya can be found on Outworld as a side mission. She would ask Shujinko to find a cave suitable to trap Liu Kang, echoing her MK4 ending. There are two possible outcomes to this mission: either to find the caves and inform Tanya or find Liu Kang and warn him of the treachery.
