Tawna

From Bandipedia, the Crash Bandicoot wiki

Tawna, in the hands of Cortex's henchmen

Tawna is a character from the Crash Bandicoot series. She was Crash's girlfriend, who apparently later left him for the villain Pinstripe Potoroo. She appears prominently in only 2 Crash games, being Crash Bandicoot and Crash Boom Bang!, she has cameo appearances in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, Crash Twinsanity, Crash Team Racing, and in the recent Crash: Mind Over Mutant.

[edit] In Crash Bandicoot

In Crash Bandicoot, she was another evil genius creation of Dr. Neo Cortex and Dr. Nitrus Brio. When Crash escapes, falling out a window, Cortex uses Tawna as a hostage, in order to get Crash to come back and fight Cortex. In then end, she is rescued by Crash and are standing on Cortex's blimp, and later after completing the game totally, are seen riding away on the bird that is found in Sliperry Climb.

[edit] In Crash Boom Bang!

Tawna doesn't make a significant appearance for ten years until she is in Crash Boom Bang! In this, the rumor of Tawna leaving Crash for Pinstripe Potoroo turns out to be a fact. It is also the first time in a Crash game that she is a playable character. Since this is a spinoff, this may not be canon to the series. It is unknown if Tawna will appear in any further adventures.

[edit] Trivia

  • According to Naughty Dog, Tawna's design was based off celebrity Pamela Anderson, for her blonde hair and buxom physique.
  • Tawna is shorter in Crash Boom Bang, possibly half the size she was before in Crash Bandicoot.
  • After Crash Bandicoot, Naughty Dog removed her from the Crash series. The reason for this is because she was found to be innappropriate for young children, since it was a family game. Coco Bandicoot then became Tawna's replacement.
  • Tawna is seen in the Intro and Ending part of Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped as a cameo appearance in a picture hung up in Crash's house on top of his fireplace and next to his Crash 2 items.
  • Tawna also has a cameo appearance in Crash Twinsanity, where she is seen on a poster for a place called Moulin Cortex.
