Tanya Winters

Tanya Winters is a character in Saints Row and Saints Row IV.
==Biography==
===Saints Row===
Tanya is a Vice Kings lieutenant, her primary responsibility is managing the Raykins Hotel, a Vice King brothel, located in Prawn Court.
The spark that ignites the conflict between the Vice Kings and the Saints is Tanya's unwitting abduction of Aisha's sister to serve in her brothel. The back-and-forth war of retaliation eventually concludes with the fall of the Vice King's empire. Tanya is ambitious, calculating, and depends on her feminine charms to keep both of her lovers (Tony Green and Warren Williams) in the dark about her true intentions for the Vice King's organization. She convinces Williams to seize control of the Vice Kings away from Benjamin King following the death of Green, and then subsequently betrays Williams by shooting him in the head.
Tanya is briefly successful in consolidating her power, but the Vice Kings' failure to eliminate Benjamin King and the fact that some members of the Vice Kings do not take well to Tanya's rise to power within the gang returns to haunt her when King, Johnny Gat, and Playa storm King's penthouse where Tanya now presides over her new empire. Tanya is shot through a window in King's penthouse, although she manages to hold onto the ledge. Depite begging for mercy in agony, King refuses and kills her by stepping on her fingers, causing her to fall and she plunges thirty stories to her death, straight through King's Mag truck in the parking lot below.
===Saints Row IV===
Tanya is recreated by the Zin Empire along with the Vice Kings inside Benjamin King's simulation, where he has to relive her coup against him. In this simulation, she teams up with Anthony Green instead of Warren Williams, and they kill King over and over again. When Playa enters into the simulation, which takes place in Stilwater, he comes across Tanya in the Saints Row Church. She panics and runs away when seeing them. Later on after killing Anthony, Playa and Ben King later encounter Tanya, who is now waiting with a group of Vice Kings. They exchange fire and after taking several bullets, Tanya disappears.
During Ben King's loyalty mission, Tanya has gotten into the Simulation and begins spreading a virus that turns people into her personal sex slaves and furries. After Playa begins destroying the virus, he goes to confront her at Technically Legal that she now runs. After a chase through Steelport, Playa gets hold of Tanya and throws her into the park, where King finishes her off with a bullet to the head.
Tanya is then unlocked as a Homie.
