* {{Foil}}: To Tanya, the Commando unit for the Allies. While Tanya takes [[BloodKnight great thrill in combat]] to the point where she verges on being a [[AxCrazy psychopath]], on top of not having any respect for her superiors and being very mouthy and snarky in general, Natasha contrasts with her rival with her cool-headed, cold-hearted attitude and undisputed professionalism. Their functions even contrast with eachother, as Tanya wields a sniper rifle that fires off single powerful shots capable of annihilating multiple infantry while Tanya uses a pair of handguns to mow down the opposition alongside getting rid of structures and vehicles with C4 charges, while Tanya channels the gameplay of Boris from ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert2 Yuri's Revenge]]'' and summons airstrikes using a laser pointer.
