Haha it's okay, I think your friends are right, too - Tasha originated from some pretty sexist tropes! Thankfully Wizards is really putting the work in to move her character in a more complex direction.

[@sillyjellyfish2421]

Seriously though. As a poor gamer who doesn't own those books, who exactly is Tasha in the wizard of the coast canon?

[@procrastinatinggamer]

@@sillyjellyfish2421 The character's actual name is Iggwilv, or at least that was the original name and she pre-dates Wizards of the Coast being DnD's development company by a fair while, having been first created by Gygax himself back in 1982 (WotC didn't own the DnD intellectual property until very late in 2nd edition, and what they did there was just mild support until they released 3e). There's a whole page about her on Wikipedia under that original name if you want the full details, but I believe she started off as a character in Greyhawk and then got ported into Forgotten Realms (although, truth be told, DnD doesn't officially have a default setting... not that you'd know it from how much they've been yammering on about the Forgotten Realms for the last half-dozen years or so).
