See the three-winged boomerang? Jade's razorang is the same, just with sharp blades instead.

But the razorrang isn't a boomerang at all, that's what made Tanya's interesting, it's the only one in the series that's the real thing.

Let Jade have the razorang and don't give Tanya a boomerang.

Yeah...maybe it's technically accurate, but it's the spirit of the thing, y'know? That's not really what people think of when they think of a boomerang. I'd just prefer to see the traditional version, is all.
Honestly, I wouldn't be bothered if Tanya didn't have it...it never really fit her character all that well to carry ANY weapon at all, it's much MUCH more important to me that she has her purple fire and snap-your-neck-with-my-vag move.
I'm just bothered that Jade's version seems ill-named. Or at least, did in the older games. "Razor-rang" works fine.
And I'll take anything that isn't those Talim-ripoff bladed Tonfas. Remember how in Deception, one of her fatalities was designed for a spear, she'd stab 'em and then let them lean forward and be propped up by it? But they changed out the spear for those tonfas during development...but didn't change the fatality, so now it looked stupid because there's no way such a tiny weapon would prop a person up, they just seemed to be frozen in a sort of awkward floating seated position?
Yeah...let's not do anything that reminds me of that again.

Haha, yeah, it seems like I'm the only one (or one of the very few) who actually liked the Tonfa Blades she had in MKD-A. It's just always been one of my favourite weapons (ever since Hiryu Strider), and to see one of my favourite characters wield a pair was just awesome! I rarely used the other styles she had in those games. :P
I REALLY hope she gets her purple fire back as well, and from what the rumours say, her neck-snap seems to be an X-Ray move of hers, and I find that very fitting!
If anyone missed it, this is how I'd like to see her return:
*cough cough shameless self-promotion cough cough*

Tanya is one of my favourite MK characters and I really hope she will be a playable character in MKX, and therefore I wish to share some ideas with you guys and invite you to share your own ideas, do some brainstorming and such.
Appearance:
I'd like for her design to take inspiration from her MKD main outfit, as seen above, as that is my favourite look for her so far. The free-flowing hair with the sharp cut bangs, the dark make-up around her eyes, the corset-like top with the sarong-like cloth hanging from her hips... it just looks amazing, imo. The style is the same as the other Edenian women, but the design is her own.
Background Story:
I won't go into detail with the story though, as we know nothing about how the story will play out in MKX, but this is an example on how it could turn out.
Since Edenia was never freed, Tanya is still a resident of Outworld. We know there are Edenian freedom fighters, as mentioned in Rain's background story in MK9, so I could imagine Tanya being part of them to start with. However with the fascination of powerful magic, she would turn on her allies and join Shinnok as he and his Brotherhood of Shadows rises from the Netherrealm and takes over Outworld. She will then fight against the Earthrealm warriors, until she sees that Shinnok is losing, then turn her back on him...
Special Moves:
- Surging Blast: An eldritch fireball of dark flames hurled at the opponent.
- Human Cannon Drill: Tanya flips into a spinning arrow with her feet first, sweeping the opponent off his feet and up into the air.
- Knee Strike: Tanya jumps diagonally up in the air with a knee first which kicks the opponent up into the air.
Variations:
- Sorceress: Being a master of dark sorcery, Tanya uses her knowledge of magic to her defense. Adds these special moves:
+ Aerial Surging Blast: The fireball hurled diagonally downwards when Tanya is in the air.
+ Find Me: Tanya vanishes in dark flames and turns invisible for a short duration of time or until she is hit by the opponent.
+ Eldritch Orbs: Tanya conjures two orbs of dark fire which spins around her for a short duration of time and hurt the opponent if hitting her with any punch or kick. Projectiles and other non-physical hits are not affected by this.
- Backstabber: Trained in the arts of Kobu Jutsu, Tanya wields her Tonfa Blades to battle. Adds Tonfa Blades into her fighting style.
(In case you don't know what I mean by Tonfa Blade, click HERE!)
- Edenian Warrior: Tanya has trained alongside the best Edenian Warriors and specializes in stylish kicks. Adds these special moves:
+ Split Flip Kick: In a forward somersault Tanya makes a split kick and crushes her heel down into the ground which knock the opponent out.
+ Spinning Flip Kick: Tanya spins forward and does a helicopter kick hitting the opponent two times. (Kinda like Chun Li's Spinning Bird Kick from Street Fighter)
+ Downward Spiral Kick: While in air, Tanya makes a diagonal downward Human Cannon Drill. Can be used after Knee Strike for a combo.
(Note: I did not like her using a boomerang as she did in MK4, so I chose not to have it be part of her moveset.)
X-Ray Move:
- Neck Breaker: Tanya jumps up and sits on her opponent's shoulder, then twists his head around 180 degrees, snapping his neck. She then falls back into a handstand on the ground and pulls the opponent with her into a Frankensteiner which crushes the opponent's skull into the ground. (A tribute to her MK4 throw)
Fatalities:
- Deadly Kiss: Tanya walks over and gives the opponent a kiss on his cheek. It has no effect, but instead she starts snapping every limb on the opponents body, starting with the arms, then the legs and finally snaps his neck. (A tribute to her MK4 fatality)
- Eldritch Flames: Tanya conjures a pillar of fire where the opponent stands, burning the flesh from his bones and leaves a charred corpse. (This is boring, I know, but I am out of ideas for now...)
...
I really hope that Ed Boon and NRS will put Tanya into the roster, and with what we've seen from MKX so far, I am positive that they will do a great job with her! :D

Heh, yeah. I have faith in NRS. They're a really great team, and with Warner Brothers backing, they've shown us they're capable of some pretty amazing things.
So, maybe Tanya will actually end up blowing my socks off in MKX.
