Tanya Markarov is a character appearing in Quest for Glory 4.
Game interaction[]
Tanya must be given the Vana doll, and later on optionally be offered flowers (which she sees as a marriage proposal - see controversies).
Background[]
She was initially the six year old daughter of the innkeeper Yuri Markarov and his wife Bella, living with her parents at Hotel Mordavia, but was later charmed and abducted by Katrina. She then turns Tanya into a vampire like herself, to be her daughter forever.
The Hero finds Tanya inside Castle Borgov, in Tanya's Room with Toby, her best friend who is a very large furry monster. Hotel Mordavia's Inn Domovoi compels the Hero to save her, and eventually the Hero claims Erana's Staff. Toby sacrifices himself in order for the Hero to cast the Destiny Spell with the staff, essentially resurrecting Tanya and returning her to her parents.

Behind the scenes[]
Tanya was stuck in the form of a six year old child.[1] In the game she was kidnapped two years before, so has been stuck as a six year old for about two years.
The Coles appear to have retconned this as possibly longer than two years.
- Also, don't assume that Tanya was kidnapped recently just because she's a small child. She's been that exact same age for quite a long, indeterminate time, several years at least.
- Note that her parents are, or appear to be, middle-aged. Once again, you can't draw too much inference from that as circumstances have aged them prematurely. They could be as young as early 30's or as old as mid-40's. They were a young couple when Tanya was born.-Corey Cole
