Trivia

 * It was very hard to tell that she was evil at first, since she seemed very innocent. However her ending in MK4 showed her truly malicious nature.
 * Tanya is considered one of the most untrustworthy characters, since she constantly double crosses people.
 * She was at first thought to be a clone of Jade, similarly to how Mileena is a clone of Kitana.
 * Tanya's fatality from MK4, where she wrapped her legs around her opponents head then spun around to snap their neck 3 times, was voted tenth on Screwattack's Top 10 List of Worst Mortal Kombat Fatalities.
 * In MKX story mode, she told Kotal Kahn that she wanted to help Mileena because Mileena vowed to create a free Edenia. This is unknown because Tanya always betrays her realm.
 * Tanya was named after one of Ed Boon's sisters.
