On Puckworld:
Tanya was recruited for Canard’s strike force for her technical genius. She designed detonators and attached them to the Monitors that were attacking the planet. She also used the detonators to blow up Dragaunus’s headquarters, causing him to flee via a dimensional gateway, which is how the Ducks ended up on Earth.
On Earth:
Tanya was naturally curious about the new planet the Ducks had arrived on, suggesting that it could be populated by “giant snails with hundreds of eyes or primitive barbarians.” Her first assignment was to build a supercomputer for the team to use to search for Dragaunus, which she quickly did, with supplies from a chain of stores called ‘Lectric Land.
Whenever the team needs something complicated explained to them, she can come up with a scientific answer immediately. Though sometimes the team needs her to simplify her explanations. She wears what she calls her ‘omnitool’ on her right wrist, which she uses to analyze substances and build and fix devices. She speaks with a stutter, and an extremely stopped-up nose.
Quotes:
Grin: “Not meditation crystals I assume.”
Tanya: “Oh bulerium power crystals, very rare. This accounts for the ship’s unorthodox propulsion system.”
Grin: “…….right.”
Tanya: “Um, guys, you won’t believe this.”
Mallory: “Oh, what now?”
Tanya: “Well, it um, seems that we’re sort-of…gonna…crash.”
Wildwing: “WHAT?!”
Tanya: “Well, y’know, we kinda destroyed the main engines. There was a little miscalculation.”
Nosedive: “Aw, man! Somebody give me a donut. Does she always have to blow something up?”
Tanya: “I just have irrational fear of 40-thousand ton lizards, OK?!”
Grin: “We grow stronger by facing our fears.”
Tanya: “Hey, to face my fear I need a ladder!”
Tanya: “Hey, come on, guys! Wildwing told you to help clean up my lab!”
Duke: “Hey, we DID help clean it up.”
Tanya: “Shoving the debris under a throw rug does not constitute cleaning up.”
“Get a grip on yourself, Tanya. You’re not just a duck…you’re a MIGHTY DUCK. If you don’t do it, nobody will. The puck stops here!”
Wildwing: “Tanya, while we’re busting our tails fighting Dr. Droid, I hope you dug something up on him.”
Tanya: “Oh yeah. He was Otto Maton. A robotics engineer who replaced most of his body with mechanical parts.”
Mallory: “What– was he mangled in some sort of horrible lab accident?”
Tanya: “No, I just think he, y’know, got a kick out of it.”
Tanya: “Um, Wildwing, does the phrase ‘walking into a trap’ mean anything to you?”
Mondo Man: “And I’ve got the one thing you have no defense against– DUCKTONITE! It will rob you of your superpowers!”
Tanya: “Oh NO! …wait a second, we don’t HAVE any superpowers!”
Tanya: “Nosedive, disengage the flux capacitor.”
Nosedive: “Disen-who the chuxaduck? What?”
Tanya: “Ugh, the GLOWING THING! Would you just GRAB IT?”
“Do something! We’re sitting– well, you know.”
