| '''Tawna Bandicoot'''<ref>''Crash Bandicoot'' Japan manual, p. 11</ref><ref>''Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back'' Japan manual, p. 17</ref> is a female bandicoot with blonde hair that appears in the first ''[[Crash Bandicoot (video game)|Crash Bandicoot]]'' game as [[Crash Bandicoot]]'s girlfriend. She became absent in later entries in the series, albeit with cameos, with [[Coco Bandicoot]] serving as the female supporting character of the series in her stead. She eventually reappeared in ''[[Crash Boom Bang!]]'' as a playable character, and would later appear in ''[[Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled]]'' in the same role.

|
| |
|
| Although she doesn't appear in the game, an [[Tawna (Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time)|alternate universe counterpart]] of Tawna appears as a playable character in ''[[Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time]]''.

| Tawna first appears in the original ''[[Crash Bandicoot (video game)|Crash Bandicoot]]'' game as an ordinary bandicoot that was captured by [[Dr. Neo Cortex]] and [[Dr. N. Brio]] and mutated by N. Brio's [[Evolv-O-Ray]], and one of the only mutant animals not yet brainwashed by the [[Cortex Vortex]] along with her boyfriend [[Crash Bandicoot]]. After Crash is placed into and rejected by the Cortex Vortex, Crash escapes Cortex's laboratory which causes Cortex to select Tawna as his replacement for the general of his army of mutants. Crash eventually defeats Cortex and reunites with Tawna on top of his blimp as they fly into the sunset. Alternatively, once the player has collected all [[Gem|gems]], the player can access [[The Great Hall]], wherein Tawna awaits Crash on the balcony of [[Castle Cortex]], after which the two of them fly away on a large bird.
| |
| | |
| Tawna also appears throughout the game at the end of bonus levels accessed by collecting tokens resembling her face. However, she cannot be interacted with.
| |
| | |
| ====''Crash Boom Bang!''====
| |
| | |
| Tawna appears as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Crash Boom Bang!]]'', which marks her first major appearance in a game 10 years after the original ''Crash Bandicoot'', and her first voiced appearance in a game, where she is portrayed by Akiko Toda. Much like the other playable characters in the game, she participates in [[Viscount]]'s World Cannonball Race in order to win $100,000,000.
| |
| | |
| Her in-game description suggests she is romantically interested in [[Pinstripe Potoroo]], who is also a playable character in the game.
| |
| | |
| ====''Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled''====
| |
| | |
| {{Bandipedia|section=yes}}
| |
| | |
| Tawna makes an appearance in ''[[Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled]]'' as a Bronze Tier reward in the game's first [[Grand Prix]], [[Nitro Tour Grand Prix|Nitro Tour]] which launched on July 3, 2019. She appears alongside [[Ami]], [[Isabella]], [[Liz]], and [[Megumi]] to form the [[Nitro Squad]].
| |
| | |
| <!--- NOTE: missing from this section are the parts that list tawna's class and the availability of both the character unlock itself as well as her skins, each of her skins needs to be mentioned in this article (...maybe?) --->
| |
| | |
| ====''Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time''====
| |
| | |
| While the regular Tawna isn't present in the game, an [[Tawna (Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time)|alternate universe counterpart]] of her shows up to rescue Crash and [[Coco Bandicoot]] from pirates in the [[Hook, Line, and Sinker]] level. After being rescued, Coco mentions how she and Crash had lost contact with Tawna.
| |
| | |
| A cushion sporting Tawna's mugshot can also been seen at the end of the game's very first Bonus level, atop a sofa where she presumably would have waited for Crash as she did in her bonus levels from the first ''Crash Bandicoot''.
| |
| | |
| ====Other appearances====
| |
| | |
| A portrait of Tawna appears on the fireplace of Crash's house in ''[[Crash Bandicoot: Warped]]'', and later ''[[Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex]]''. Crash's ending in the Japanese version of ''[[Crash Bash]]'' has Crash mistake a hologram Coco created, modeled after an imaginary future version of herself, to be Tawna. Tawna also appears on the sign of Moulin Cortex in ''[[Crash Twinsanity]]'''s [[Slip Slip Icecapades]] level.
| |
| | |
| Although she doesn't appear in ''[[Crash Team Racing]]'', internal game data suggests that Ami, Isabella, Liz, and Megumi are all modeled after her.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Crash_Team_Racing#Trophy_Girl_Internal_Names Crash Team Racing article on The Cutting Room Floor].</ref>

| While Tawna was designed to be Crash's love interest in her first appearance, following games have altered or not made reference to this aspect of her character; as a way to explain her disappearance in ''[[Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back]]'', the Japanese manual of the game states that she broke up with Crash, being romantically interested in [[Pinstripe Potoroo]] afterwards. This is later referenced in ''Crash Boom Bang!'', wherein her character profile states she is "crazy about Pinstripe." Other games in the series don't reference Crash or Tawna's relationships.
