Tawna Bandicoot[2][3] is a recurring character in the Crash Bandicoot series. She appeared in the first Crash Bandicoot game and later returned as a cast regular following the release of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. She is a feminine anthropomorphic bandicoot who was created for the series as the girlfriend of Crash Bandicoot, specifically serving the role of damsel-in-distress in the first game; Tawna's later appearances would alter or forego this aspect of the character.
Tawna initially became absent from the Crash Bandicoot series starting with the release of Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, as Coco Bandicoot replaced her role as the main female supporting character of the series following concerns from Sony Computer Entertainment regarding Tawna's appearance and personality. Nevertheless, Tawna was referenced in games and side media following her removal from the series, culminating in a playable appearance in Crash Boom Bang! before the series went into a hiatus. Tawna would eventually reappear in Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy's remake of the first Crash Bandicoot game, followed by an appearance as a playable character in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled.
Although the main version of the character doesn't appear in the game, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time introduces an alternate universe counterpart of Tawna Bandicoot as a playable character in the game with a major role in its story, also appearing as a playable character in Crash Team Rumble.
