From Yu-Gi-Oh!

Tania is an Amazoness who is the third of the Shadow Riders.

[edit] Character design

Tania's design incorporates multiple layers of clothing and a wide range of expressions. Depicted here is the Shadow Rider in full regalia from front, and rear alongside views of her head from different angles as well as close ups of her duel disk and hands.

Tania's character designs were overseen by Kenichi Hara and is based on an Amazon. Tania's usual outfit consists of a dark blue tank top, a double buckled belt, combat pants, ankle bracelets, an elbow length left and wrist length right glove with studded knuckles. Her left hand has various rings and an "Eye of Anubis" artifact. Her hair is tied back in one long plait reaching below her waist. The character is very muscular. She wears her own exclusive Shadow Rider Duel Disk in the shape of a sword on her left arm.

Bass, the Amazoness Pet Tiger

[edit] Character 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, 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 in a soul match with the effect of Amazoness Arena.

During the third year, she appears before Jaden and his group while they are in the middle of their search for the missing Jesse 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 appearently still have feelings for each other as he says that he's staying with Taniya and Bastion blushes when Syrus says that Bastion is under a love spell, which he immediately denies and Taniya smiles at this. After evil Jaden becomes back to normal, she and Bastion re-appear to explain Yubel's plan to unite all 12 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. Taniya and Bastion stay in the World of Darkness in order to help it heal.

Tania also has a pet tiger named Bass, who resembles the "Amazoness Tiger". He doesn't appear in the Darkness World arc

[edit] Deck

Tania's Amazoness cards, based off the Amazons of Greek mythology, are divided into two decks: Courage and Knowledge. She uses the Knowledge deck against Bastion Misawa, and the Courage deck against Jaden Yuki.
