Origins: Edenia
Eye Color: White
Hair Color: Black
First Appearance: Mortal Kombat 4

Powers and Abilities

The gorgeous Tanya was an Edenian character that first appeared in the hit video game, Mortal Kombat 4. According to her backstory, Tanya once served as Edenia’s official ambassador to new planets, before eventually betraying her people to Shinnok, Quan Chi, and the Army of Darkness. Despite her best efforts, however, the invasion of Edenia ultimately failed, forcing Tanya to flee to Outworld, where she helps Kahn’s Army for a brief spell. She later perishes though during the final battle of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon alongside the Forces of Darkness in the Edenian Southlands; thus, ending her long and tumultuous life.

In spite of her tragic life (and the events surrounding it), Tanya is an incredibly strong and powerful fighter within the Mortal Kombat series. She is renowned for her Zi Ran Men and Yue Chuan fighting styles which utilize a number of Chinese mixed martial arts. As an extremely quick and agile character, Tanya is perhaps best-known for her kicking abilities which she incorporates into her signature moves. These include the powerful “Human Cannon Drill,” “Surging Blast,” as well as the “Swing Kick” to name only a few. Combined with her fatality moves (namely, her “Kiss of Deceit”), Tanya is an incredibly dangerous opponent that should never be underestimated. She is best-suited for intermediate to advanced players, however, as her moves are high-risk but high-reward, and require a great deal of expertise to fully master.

Personality and Appearance

As one can imagine, Tanya can be best-described as a treacherous and deceitful character. Possessing no sense of loyalty to her people, Tanya is attracted to power, and readily aligns herself to individuals that she feels will improve her position of power and authority. As such, she is an extremely cold-blooded and calculating individual, and will stop at nothing to accomplish her intended goals (no matter what the cost may be).

Regarding her outward appearance, few characters in the Mortal Kombat series are capable of matching the level of sex appeal shown by Tanya. Renowned for her glowing white eyes, shoulder-length black hair, and curvaceous figure, Tanya is not afraid to show off her body and regularly wears revealing and promiscuous clothing that shows off her natural cleavage, long legs, and torso. Combined with her domineering attitude, extremely large bust, and lovely facial features, she is truly a head-turner in every sense of the word, and is worthy of inclusion amongst our current list.
