―Edward Cullen to Tanya
**Tanya** is the leader of the Denali coven, which consists of Kate, Garrett, Carmen, Eleazar, and her deceased sister, Irina. Like the Cullen family, Tanya and her coven also live a "vegetarian" lifestyle, feeding on wild animal blood rather than human blood. Tanya initially had a "crush" on Edward Cullen, which is shown and described in *Midnight Sun* and *Eclipse*. In *Have A Purpose*, she meets Mordecai Coleman and soon became his mate where she allows him and the Detroit coven to live with the Denali coven.

She is portrayed by MyAnna Buring.
