Tika’s abdomen is plump and stubby, adding to her slightly chubby and endearing appearance. Her large rear and thighs are proportionate to her body, making her look even more adorable and huggable.

Her arms resemble the raptorial legs of a praying mantis, equipped with small, delicate claws perfect for picking up and examining her treasures.

Despite her positive demeanor, Tika often feels lonely and ostracized. She has been cast out by the rest of her hive, forced to live by herself in one of the large abandoned buildings on the moon.
