Biography
She has a somewhat more unorthodox method of getting the Spirit Keys as she pays students with rare cards to help build her a coliseum and on top of that doesn't even host shadow games. She falls in love with Bastion Misawa, and after some sweet talking and showing off her amazing dueling skills, defeats Bastion and forces him to become her boyfriend for a short time until she grows tired of him. She fights Jaden Yuki in a soul match with the effect of "Amazoness Arena". She is actually a tigress, and was able to maintain a human form using her gauntlet Shadow Charm.



During the third year, she appears before Jaden and his group while they are in the middle of their search for the missing Jesse Anderson in an alternate dimension (where all duel monsters are made living and real). She serves as their guide through the first dimension they encounter, she shows them where to go next and Jaden goes off to liberate the town. She and Bastion stay behind in the town to restore order to the recently liberated town. They apparently still have feelings for each other as he says that he's staying with Tania and Bastion blushes when Syrus says that Bastion is under a love spell, which he immediately denies and Tania smiles at this. After Jaden is freed from the influence of The Supreme King, she and Bastion re-appear to explain Yubel's plan to unite all twelve dimensions. In the midst of the battle between Jaden and Yubel, she and Bastion are seen staring at the fireballs raging the dimension, due to the fact that Yubel used "Super Polymerization" to fuse all the dimensions together. Tania and Bastion stay in the alternate dimension in order to help it heal after Jaden stops Yubel.

Tania also has a pet tiger named Bass, who resembles the "Amazoness Tiger".
