✯.•.•.✪.•.•.✯

Tikal (ティカル Tikaru?) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is the spirit of an anthropomorphic echidna and, in her mortal form, the only daughter of Pachacamac, the last chieftain of the Knuckles Clan, which resided in what is now the Mystic Ruins 3,000 years ago, In her youth, Tikal lived in a period of war where she opposed her father's warmongering ways, though she was ignored by Pachacamac himself and his supporters. During this time, she befriended the local Chao and their guardian, Chaos. When Chaos went on a destructive rampage after her father attempted to steal the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald, Tikal stopped Chaos by sealing him inside the Master Emerald with her own spirit. In the present era, Tikal was released when Dr. Eggman planned to use Chaos to take over the world, where she aided Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies. After Chaos was calmed, Tikal left with him to live in peace. • ✪ Tikal was once a peach-orange-furred anthropomorphic echidna girl with a peach muzzle, a small black nose, cobalt-blue eyes with two medium-length eyelashes on each one, dreadlock-like spines around the sides and back of her head and a medium-sized, tri-crooked tail. During those years, she wore a white tank top which revealed her midriff and a traditional tribal skirt with beige, green, and red diamond patterns. As a sign of her lineage, she wore a gold armlet on her right arm, a gold necklace and a tiara-like headband atop her forehead, both of which were decorated with triangles and a light blue gemstone in the center. Her white gloves were adorned with thick, cobalt-blue bracelets around her wrists, and she also wore white-strapped sandals. Her dreadlocks and left arm were also wrapped with similar white bandages. • ✪ Being raised under her grandmother's teachings, and having inherited her mother's positive nature, Tikal is a gentle, fair-minded and kind-hearted pacifist with a peaceful temperament. She severely opposes greed, violence, brutality and fighting, and wishes for everything to be in peace, harmony and tranquility. She is very devout to her teaching, never once resorting to needless violence, and will try to resolve conflicts by trying to sway people away from their destructive paths peacefully. While she abhors fighting though, Tikal is also a strong defender of peace and is not above helping others fight to protect the world and its people. She is as well a proud warrior of her tribe, implying she will fight herself when necessary, but only for the right reasons, Tikal is very caring, empathetic and compassionate about the people around her, being willing to put her own well-being on the line to keep needless harm from befalling the innocent, and is beloved by all. She is similarly very non-discriminatory, never treating anyone with prejudice, and is good at making friends with peaceful creatures; though she was frightened by Chaos at first, she found a way to befriend the foreign creature. Also, even when her entire warlike clan disapproved of her ideals, Tikal loved her people deeply and tried to talk them out of their violent ways and find a way for them to come to an agreement. When she failed to stop her clan's destruction, Tikal became determined to never let anyone relive such a tragedy. Also, despite Chaos' corruption and slaughtering of her clan, she still considered him her friend, showing a deep care and loyalty towards her friends, While Tikal only wants everyone to live in peace, she tends to have moments of oversight while trying to achieve it. She often chooses the quickest path that will restore immediate peace, rather than what might restore harmony in the long run and be for the greater good of everyone involved. Still, Tikal is well-meaning in her intentions and she is quick to forgive and forget.
