Tiana or Bam (the former being more widely used) is the romantic/platonic pairing of Biana Vacker and Tam Song. The book Neverseen implies that Tam finds Biana attractive when he tells Keefe that he won't join the Sophie Foster fan club and then quickly glances at Biana. In Lodestar, Linh even stated that Tam "likes brunettes," and Biana is one of the only few brunettes in the group. In Unlocked, it is stated by Fitz that Biana “is a fan of silver bangs,” He also says she only wants to see Tam. In response, she flushed and does not deny it. Though Sophie couldn't tell if that was confirmation or irritation, Sophie states that it could be both.

Book 5: Lodestar[]

  • When Sophie and Fitz (with their bodyguards) go to search Prentice’s memories, Tam and Linh are there. Fitz says that Biana will be very jealous of him getting to see Tam. This implies that Biana wants to be with Tam, so she might possibly like him. Sophie might have thought Biana wants to get closer to Tam (confessing her feelings if she really likes him.) (Pg. 76)
  • When Biana, Dex, Sophie, Fitz, and Mr. Forkle go to Alluveterre to check on Wylie, Tam is there. Biana says that she hasn’t seen Tam in a while and isn't as upset about not being able to go with the rest of the group, earning her a shy smile from Tam. (Pg. 283 - 284)

  • Biana and Tam work together in the Silver Tower to find out the truth behind the Neverseen's symbol. (Pg. 547)

Book 6: Nightfall[]

  • Biana tells Tam that he and Linh should come to Foxfire so they can hang out more often.
  • Biana and Tam spent a day looking around Candleshade together.
  • Biana says that she isn't protective of her brother, but she doesn't like when people become her friend just to get to him. She says Linh probably knows how it feels because of Tam.
  • Tam comforts Biana when she questions what it really means to be a Vacker. (Pg. 451-452)
  • Tam and Linh's mother painted a portrait of both Tam and Linh, but without the silver in their hair. Biana painted the silver on, and after she did that, although it was far from perfect, Tam said it was the best thing he had seen in a long time. (Pg. 474)
  • When Keefe shows up, Biana agrees with Tam even though she didn't know what happened.
  • Before the group goes to Nightfall, when Fitz speculates where Linh is, continuing on their current conversation, Biana adds, “And Tam?” (Pg. 673)
  • When the group is carrying Biana to the Infirmary after they found her in a pool of blood, she said that the reason why she went alone was because no one would’ve gone with her, though Tam muttered that he would’ve. (Pg. 724)

Book 7: Flashback[]

  • Tam says that he is sure Biana will let them into Everglen to search the house. (Pg. 123)

  • When Umber attacks Biana with a shadowflux arrow, Tam dispels it immediately with a "snarl," suggesting he's angry at Umber for targeting Biana. (Pg. 760)
  • When Fitz argues with Biana about Alvar, Biana leans on Tam for support. (Though it should be noted that Biana also leaned on Dex as well.) (Pg. 764)

  • Biana stands up for Tam when Stina questioned if Tam was good. (Pg. 283).
  • Biana says she should probably get a Happy Shadow Thoughts shirt for when Tam returns. (Pg. 485)
  • In Loamnore, when Biana's group comes back from the main marketplace and Sophie tells them that Tam would explain everything, Biana says "Tam?" before anyone else. (Pg. 764)

Book 8.5: Unlocked[]

  • While traveling to where Glimmer stays, Fitz teases Biana by saying, she is "dying to see Tam" and that she is "a fan of silver bangs". Biana blushes and replies with "Really, Fitz? You want to talk about crushes?" (Hinting that Biana might have a crush on Tam) However, it is unknown whether this means Biana likes Tam or if she is just fed up with Fitz's teasing. Sophie also states it could possibly be both.
