Tana Bach

Tana is the main character of the Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black. She wakes up in a bathroom tub after a party. Her friends are lying on the carpet, dead. She looks further into the house to find her ex-boyfriend Aidan tied to a bed and infected with the Cold disease (note: a disease that turns people into a vampire after consuming human blood). A vampire is chained up next to the bed named Gavriel (also known as the Thorn of Istra). Tana tries to let out Aidan but to her surprise, he tries to bite her. Gavriel warns her not to take the cloth gag out of his mouth. There are many vampires in the basement. They come up while Tana is attempting to save Gavriel and Aidan. She gets the boys out of the window and then the vampires break through the door and nip her leg. She travels with both Gavriel and Aiden to the Springfield Coldtown. She meets twins later on in the book who travel with her.
