Tanya Baxteris the wife ofVictor Baxter and mother ofCory andRaven Baxter inThat's So Raven. She is a firm, but fun and caring mother who, despite the antics of her children, is always there for them. She halted her studies to raise her family, but decided once the children were older to continue studying law. Before that, she briefly worked as Raven's English teacher at the request of Raven's school principal. She has a very competitive nature to her personality. According to some episodes in the first season, Raven inherited her psychic abilities from her mom's side of the family, and that Tanya's mom,Viv, is also psychic (the powers skipped Tanya's generation). In Season 4, Tanya is not present, saying that she went off to England to attend law school. She does not appear onCory in the House.

She returned in the Season 5 episode "Bridge Over Troubled Daughter", withT'Keyah Crystal Keymáh reprising her role after she left in Season 4 ofThat's So Raven.
