History: Originally from Slovakia, Tanya was turned into a vampire at least a thousand years ago. Unlike the diet the maintain as vegetarian vampires, surviving only on the blood of wild animals and not humans, this was not always the case. Many centuries ago Tanya and her sisters would lure men and seduce them before feeding off them, earning the honor of being known to originate the legend of the succubus. Tanya happily states she was the first.
Tanya's adopted mother Sasha was killed by the Volturi several hundreds of years ago for creating an immortal child which was/is strictly forbidden in the vampire world and Tanya and her sisters would've been destroyed too had Aro not touched them and seen their were unaware of their mother doing such a thing. They had never even met their "brother" Vasilii. This left the sisters utterly heartbroken and traumatized and became purists in regard to vampire law.
Tanya is seen as the leader or matriarch now of the Denali coven which includes her sisters Kate and Irina and within the century or so, Carmen and Eleazer, formally of the Volturi who had decided to devote themselves to a "vegetarian" lifestyle. Settled in Alaska, for a time Edward Cullen came to stay with them and Tanya took an immediate liking to him, but he did not reciprocate. They do, however, maintain a good friendship and Tanya considers the Cullens from the Olympic coven to be extended family, like cousins. She was the one who encourgaged Edward's return to Forks, to pursue his interest in the human girl Bella.
Not long afterward, her coven was joined by nomad Laurent who was curious about living their lifestyle and quickly became the mate of her sister Irina. However, about a year afterward, when returning to Forks in attempt to kill Bella himself, Laurent was killed by the La Push wolf pack. Months later when the Denali coven were asked to join their Cullen family to assist in the fight against Victoria and her newborn army, and they agreed only if they would break their pact with the La Push wolves so that they could avenge the death of Irina's mate, but Carlisle declined since Laurent was trying to kill Bella. Both families then parted on less friendly terms.
When the Tanya and her coven, save for Irina who was still upset about losing Laurent, attended Edward and Bella's wedding, Tanya apologized for her and her family for not joining the fight, that as extended family, they should not have refused. She had flirted playfully with Edward at the reception and was very happy for him, even complimenting him on his choice of a bride. Following the reception, the Denalis returned home to Alaska.
Months after the weddning, Tanya and her coven were asked to be witnesses on behalf of the Cullens due to the nature of Bella and Edward's daughter, Renesmee, who Irina had believed to be an Immortal Child after seeing the young girl from a distance. The Denalis were wary on first meeting Renesmee, not understanding how she couldn't be and Immortal Child, but it was Carmen who stepped forward and let Renesmee touch her and explain her story and how she came to be. It decided then they what the Cullens claimed was the truth and Tanya and her family would stay and fight with the Cullens against the Volturi if it came down to that.
When the Volturi did arrive, Tanya stood with her coven, the Cullens, a few other covens and nomads and even the La Push woves which had grown in number against the Volturi. When Irina was killed by the Volturi for "falsely testifying" against the Cullens as a way to enrage the Denalis and cause them to make a first attack against the Volturi and thus giving them and excuse to fight back, Tanya was held back by Carlisle and Edward, Kate by nomad Garrett. The ploy didn't work but it did enrage Tanya enough to claim Caius as her opponent should a smackdown commence, in revenge for her fallen sister. When the fight never came to be and Aro decided Renesmee was no threat after the introduction of another human/vampire hybrid Nahuel, the Volturi left. And while the Denalis lost a sister, they gained a brother in nomad Garrett who was instantly smitten with Kate and willing to follow her anywhere.
