Tanya is a dreamer, much like her brother. Her personality is explored mainly in Fievel Goes West, where we learn she wants to be a famous singer and actress. Her singing ability is evident from the first movie and only improves with Fievel Goes West (she doesn't get a chance to participate in any singing in the 3rd or 4th films unfortunately). Her two signature songs, "Dreams to Dream" and "The Girl You Left Behind" are the most prominant songs in the film. "Dreams to Dream" in particular was enough to melt the heart of the villainous Cat R. Waul, sparing her alone from his evil plan to turn the mice of Green River into mouseburgers. Her personality ranges from shy and self conscious to outgoing and spunky throughout the series. Her relationship with her brother is very close and affectionate; she was the only member of the Mousekewitz family who never gave up hope that Fievel was still alive in An American Tail. We see that the siblings are fond of teasing each other in all three of the sequels, however other moments show that they have a lot of love for one another. She expresses a bit of jealousy towards Fievel in the third movie, complaining that he always gets to have all the adventures while she is always stuck at home doing the laundry. She is never given a true love interest, though she has a huge crush on Reed Daley in Mystery of the Night Monster, which turns out to be fruitless when he pairs with Nellie Brie at the end of the film. However if the lyrics to "Dreams to Dream" are taken at face value, finding love is among one of her dreams in life.
Her appearance is a little different in every movie, she is at her youngest in An American Tail and appears in her most mature form in Fievel Goes West, a strong indication that Fievel Goes West takes place some years after the first film.
