## Backstory

### Main Timeline

Natsha worked on the Arlesburgh branch with her coach and became a mentor figure to Edward when he arrived on Sodor. Her driver Burnett Stone would nickname her "Tasha" after his wife. After the Mid Sodor Railway closed down, Tasha hid her coach away and was then hidden away by Burnett. Unfortunately, Tasha (the wife) would died of a heart attack whilst confronting Jacob Hockings about his attitude towards his engines and Burnett would hide away out of grief.

Years later, Duck and Oliver would discover Tasha and bring her to meet the other engines. Tasha was reunited with her old coach (now known as "Old Slow Coach"). Unfortunately, Hockings and Diesel 10 would try to destroy Tasha. The two villains would chase Duck, Tasha and Burnett down the Little Western until they got to Bulgy's Bridge, which was in danger of collapsing. Duck, Tasha and Burnett made it across whilst Diesel 10 and Hockings fell off and were arrested. Edward, who had taken Sir Bertram Topham Hatt and his family on holiday returned to Sodor early and Edward was reunited with Tasha. Arrangements were made to Tasha to work on the railway until Emily's restoration was complete; after which she would be transferred to the Rolling Hills Railway. Around the same time Emily returned to service, an emergency came up on the Rolling Hills Railway and Tasha had to leave early before Duck could reveal his feelings to her. Fortunately, Tasha would come back after Thomas broke down and the two engines now enjoy a long distance relationship. Tasha enjoys her new life on the Rolling Hills Railway.

## Romance

### Duck

It was pretty much a crush at first sight for Duck and Tasha. Unfortunately, the duo had to deal with a heavy metal monster named Diesel 10. Thankfully, they escaped and Tasha spent Christmas on Sodor. When helping Burnett adapt back into society, Tasha had to rescue Duck from a snowdrift. Though Tasha felt inadequate, Duck encouraged her to get a rebuild to make her stronger. Further along, Duck was planning on confessing to Tasha, but she unfortunately had to leave for her new home early. She later came back after Thomas broke down and the two finally confessed their love. Duck and Tasha remain in a long distance relationship even now, often seeing each other at Christmas or the Summer rush. She even came to help on Valentine's Day one year.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Tasha is based on a GWR 3031 Class, which was one of Lady's intended basis.

### Livery

Tasha is painted in a red violet color with gold lining and a brass dome. She is also painted a very dark purple on her footplate. Her T&WSR Number (8) is painted on her sides.

## Differences between Thomas and the Magic Railroad and the SeventyVerse

* In the TV show, Lady was a completely freelance design and was the main engine for the Magic Railroad in *Thomas and the Magic Railroad* (or as an engine in a dream in *Calling All Engines!*). In this series, Tasha is a GWR 3031 Dean Single (which was one of her intended basis) and was part of the Wellsworth and Suddery Railway.
	+ In the books, even if Lady/Tasha was part of them, she would have not been a W&S engine. They were 0-6-0 tank engines.

## Trivia

* Though Lady has a canon voice in Britt Allcroft, Tasha's preferred voice actress for this series is Kayla Lorette, who voiced Emily from the US dub of *All Engines Go!.*
* Only Burnett Stone and his family, and Duck can call her Lady. Anyone else who tries doesn't get a polite response.
