Tania

Horror of Dracula
Tania is a fictional child featured in the 1958 horror film, Horror of Dracula. She was played by actress Janina Faye. Tania was born sometime around the year 1875. She was the daughter of Gerda, who was a housekeeper for the Holmwood family in the Eastern European village of Klausenburg.

One evening, in May of 1885, a police inspector brought a wandering Tania after she had experienced a terrible fright. Amidst a bevy of tears, Tania told Mina Holmwood that she was out for a walk and came upon Mina's sister-in-law, Lucy Holmwood. Hearing this filled Arthur Holmwood and Professor J. Van Helsing with a great sense of dread, as they had suspected that Lucy was now a vampire.

Lucy Holmwood was later stalking about in the woods near a churchyard. She used her hypnotic powers to summon Tania to her side. Arthur and Van Helsing appeared and Van Helsing used a cross to drive Lucy back. The sun had nearly risen and Lucy retreated back to her coffin. After putting Lucy out of her misery, Van Helsing and Holmwood returned Tania safely home.
