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.[7][4]
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.[4] 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.

Concept and creation[]
Tikal was named after a ruined Mayan city in Guatemala whose name means "Place of Voices". Her attire is also derived from the Mayan civilization.
Appearance[]
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.
In her spiritual form, she appeared either as a bright pink will-o-the-wisp-like orb of light which hovered in the air, or as a full-bodied apparition resembling her once-physical self.
History[]
Past[]
Tikal was born over 3,000 years before the Perfect Chaos incident as the only daughter to Pachacamac,[4] a member of the family leading the Knuckles Clan. With her mother passing away after her birth,[4] Tikal was raised by her peace-loving grandmother, then the chief of her clan,[1] who was knowledgeable in their clan's legends surrounding the Chao, the Master Emerald and the Chaos Emeralds. Under her tutorage, Grandma passed all her teachings, including an old mantra, and pacifistic beliefs onto Tikal. In turn, Tikal loved her grandmother dearly and cherished everything she was taught, making her a peace-loving pacifist, and she would often contemplate her teachings. After Grandma passed away, Tikal's father took over and directed their clan into a series of violent conquests of the neighboring countries. Standing by her grandmother's ideology, Tikal opposed her father's ways.[1][8][6] However, Tikal held onto the hope that they would one day understand each other.[9]
One day during the period of war, Tikal was at the Altar of Emerald where she discovered the Chao. While her presence frightened the Chao at first, Tikal quickly gained their trust with her gentle nature. This garnered the attention of the Chao's guardian, Chaos, who revealed himself to Tikal. Chaos initially startled and frightened Tikal, but she soon realized his gentle nature and his duty to watch over the Emeralds and the Chao at the altar. Over time, Tikal befriended Chaos and the Chao, as she would spend most of her time near the altar.[10] Eventually, Tikal was allowed entrance to the inner altar by Chaos, having earned the guardian's trust. There, she saw the Chaos Emeralds and discovered the Master Emerald, where she had the revelation about how the Master Emerald controlled the Chaos Emeralds after understanding her grandmother's mantra.
Tikal soon after learned that her father planned to raid the altar and steal its Emeralds to gain the power to destroy the enemies threatening their survival. Appalled by the idea and the death it would cause, Tikal begged her father not to do this, insisting that plundering and killing was the wrong way to peace, but to no avail. Tikal returned to the altar to warn Chaos and beseeched him to take the Chao to safety, but neither he nor the Chao could leave the altar. Tikal thus promised to talk to her father again and assured the Chao she would not fail them.
Despite Tikal's attempts, Pachacamac lead his warriors in a brutal attack on the altar. Amidst the attack, Tikal and the Chao blocked Pachacamac's path to the Emeralds, where Tikal refused to move and begged them to stop. Knowing her people would never get enough, she tried to reason to them that greed were the enemy. However, Tikal's words were ignored and she was knocked unconscious as Pachacamac and his men trampled over her to storm the altar.
When Tikal came to, she saw the horrible destruction that had befallen the area; when Pachacamac and his men attacked, they angered Chaos, who used the negative energy of the Chaos Emeralds to become Perfect Chaos and start a rampage where he had killed Pachacamac, his men and nearly the entire Knuckles Clan. Realizing that Chaos was now blind with rage and would not stop his rampage until he had destroyed the world, Tikal turned to the Master Emerald's aid and recited her grandmother's mantra, pleading the gem to stop Chaos. Using her spirit as a catalyst, Tikal sacrificed her body to strip Chaos of his power and seal him away within Master Emerald with her own spirit.
Sonic Adventure[]
Over the millennia, Tikal's spirit coexisted inside the Master Emerald with Chaos, until it was shattered by Dr. Robotnik, who sought to use Chaos to conquer the world. Tikal assumed a spirit form upon her release. Realizing Chaos would resume destroying the world once he got all the Chaos Emeralds, Tikal sought out others who could stand up to the doctor and hear her warning and cry for help.
She eventually found six heroes: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Big and Gamma; whom she appeared before in spirit form to assist them and bestow visions of the past to show the cataclysm threatening them. To Knuckles, she showed the result of her failures to persuade Pachacamac and Chaos;[11] to Tails, she shared her ancient prayer; to Gamma, she confined her worries about the Chao; to Amy, she showed her meeting with the Chao and Chaos;[12] to Big, she showed the importance of the Emeralds; and to Sonic, she showed the fall of her clan (this was shown to both Sonic & Knuckles in Sonic X's adaptation of Sonic Adventure's events).[13] Throughout the game, she can also be consulted for advice on where to go and what to do next if any of the characters find her in her will-o-the-wisp-like orb of light form and make contact with her. Additionally, she will also explain how to use power-ups that each of them find.
Despite Tikal's best efforts, Chaos became Perfect Chaos again and began destroying Station Square. There, Tikal appeared before Sonic in physical form and told him about Chaos' sadness and anger. As Perfect Chaos then released the Chaos Emeralds, having drained them of their negative energy, Tikal pleaded Sonic to seal Chaos away in the Master Emerald again to prevent the destruction of the world, but Sonic refused since he knew if they did that, Chaos' anger would never vanish, and he would just be trapped forever with it. Sonic's friends then arrived with the rest of the Chaos Emeralds and Sonic used their positive energies to transform into Super Sonic and defeat Perfect Chaos, neutralizing his anger in the process. Tikal then showed Chaos that the Chao he had protected were still alive and were cared for. Thanking Sonic and his friends for their help, Tikal disappeared with Chaos to live their lives in peace. Though their whereabouts are unknown, it is presumed that Tikal and Chaos are still watching over the Chao.[4]

Personality[]
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.[2][4] 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,[5] 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.[5] 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.
Powers and abilities[]
Despite her pacifism, Tikal is a trained warrior of the Knuckles Clan,[5] meaning she possesses combat skills befitting her tribe. She is also noted to be very quick on her feet,[5] surpassing the running speed of Knuckles and Rouge. In addition, she can climb, glide, and burrow.
Tikal is one of the few known people who is able to access and utilize the powers of the Master Emerald on her own by using the mantra of her grandmother, allowing her to harness its various abilities. She is also the only known person so far who is able to understand Chaos' language.
After she transcended into a spirit, Tikal gained a variety of mysterious spiritual powers.[14] These powers include assuming the discorporate form of a floating and glowing will-o-the-wisp-like orb, which can move very fast, and even spiritually assume her physical form if need be. She can also levitate and teleport herself and others, and harness her spiritual power for special attacks, such as creating earthquakes, lightning bolts, and flashes of light to blind opponents.[14]
A prominent spiritual power of Tikal's is the ability to temporarily transport people's minds back in time. During these "visions", people can physically interact with their surroundings in the past and even bring things from there back to the present, such as when Tails brought back the Rhythm Badge. While people's minds are visiting the past, their bodies enter a trance-like state and can even move on their own accord until their minds return.[note 1]
Color Powers[]
By harnessing different variants of Hyper-go-on from Wisps, Tikal can use specific Color Powers to transform into a certain form, such as a drill, a laser or even a planet, each one possessing its own unique abilities. So far, Tikal has been able to transform into the Cyan Laser, Yellow Drill and Indigo Asteroid. However, these transformations require a steady supply of Hyper-go-on to be maintained.
Weakness[]
Tikal's weakness is that she is not as physically strong as some of the characters, as shown in most media. In Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, she throws short punches and cannot sense Emerald Shards as well as the other treasure hunters.
Tikal's pacifism also makes her reluctant to use violence, even when she is threatened. She made no attempt to defend herself against Pachacamac's men.
Relationships[]
Chaos[]
Tikal first met Chaos when he appeared before her during her visit to the Altar of Emerald. She had managed to befriend the local Chao there with her kind-hearted nature, which attracted the attention of Chaos, the guardian of the Chao. Tikal was at first startled by Chaos but the pair managed to become friends over time. Tikal was thus one of the only people Chaos trusted enough to visit the Altar of Emerald any time she wanted and actually see the Master Emerald. The young echidna did have her doubts that Chaos actually trusted her, but he assured her that he did. Due to her care for Chaos, the Chao, and the preservation of the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds, Tikal warned Chaos about her father Pachacamac's upcoming raid of the altar. Chaos refused to leave as he still had to protect the Chao and the Emeralds. Later, when Chaos had used the negative energy of the Chaos Emeralds to wipe out Pachacamac and his men as Perfect Chaos, Tikal sacrificed her body to seal her spirit and Chaos inside of the Master Emerald to quell his fit of rage. Thousands of years later, the Master Emerald was destroyed by Dr. Robotnik so that he could use Chaos in order to conquer the world. Tikal knew Chaos would continue his blind rage and attempt to destroy the world once more. Despite her best efforts to stop Chaos, the "spirit of water" became Perfect Chaos once more. She asked Sonic the Hedgehog to seal Chaos in the Master Emerald like she had done before, only for Sonic to refuse as his anger would never vanish and he would be trapped with it forever. Sonic instead used the positive energy of the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Sonic to defeat and neutralize Chaos' anger. Tikal reunited with her friend, showing Chaos that the Chao he had cared for long ago were still alive and well. The pair then disappeared to parts unknown to live their lives in peace.
Pachacamac[]
As one of her parental figures, Tikal had a general sense of respect for Pachacamac. However, due to their contrasting personalities and ideologies, Tikal had found it difficult to reason with her father in several aspects. She heavily disagreed with Pachacamac's thoughts that plundering and killing were the only option to peace, but due to her care for her father, she simply pleaded with him to stop his ways. Due to his stubbornness and strong belief in what he thought was best for his entire clan, and not just Tikal, he ignored his daughter's protests for peace, leaving their relationship strained. Ultimately, this resulted in Tikal and some Chao blocking the Knuckles Clan's path to the Altar of Emerald, telling them that greed was their enemy. Pachacamac still ignored Tikal, and with his group, still attempted to raid the altar. This angered Chaos, sending the "spirit of water" to wipe out most of the group. Tikal later saw that the ongoing disaster, realizing that her father was killed.
Grandma[]
Tikal had a very good relationship with her Grandma, always accepting her more passive ways. Grandma passed all her teachings to Tikal, including an old mantra and the legends of Chao, the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald. After her death, Tikal still stood with her grandmother's ideology, even though the clan changed due to her son, Pachacamac, leading them down a more violent path.

In other media[]
Sonic the Comic[]
In the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions, Tikal was the daughter of Pochacamac and a member of the Ancient Echidnas that fought a war against the Drakon Empire for control of the Chaos Emeralds 8,000 years ago. Fearing the danger, Tikal transported Sonic to her time to help battle the Drakon. However, when Sonic was about to be killed by Chaos, Pochacamac was forced to send him home.
Archie Comics[]
In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics, Tikal was the member of the Knuckles Clan, a warrior caste of a group of echidna colonists from Albion. They settled in Soumerca, where she and the Knuckles Clan remained behind and entered a territorial war against the Felidae and the Nocturnus Clan. There, Tikal befriended Chaos and the local Chao. When Chaos went on a rampage following her father's attempt to steal the Chaos Emeralds, Tikal sealed herself with Chaos inside the Ancient Onyx to stop Chaos. Several hundred years later, Tikal was freed by Dr. Eggman where she aided the heroes in stopping Chaos for good. After that, Tikal returned with Chaos to their own Zone to rest in peace.
Due to the reality warping effects of the Super Genesis Wave at the climax of Worlds Collide, Tikal is now virtually indistinguishable from her game counterpart.
Sonic X[]
In the Sonic X anime series and its comic series published by Archie Comics, Tikal tried to stop her father Pachacamac from taking the seven Chaos Emeralds to defeat their enemies. In this process, she and several Chao were injured, which angered the water beast Chaos. Chaos killed Pachacamac and the remaining members of the tribe, forcing Tikal to stop and calm Chaos by trapping it and her inside the Master Emerald. When Chaos was resurrected by Dr. Eggman, Tikal arrived where Chaos had taken all of the Chaos Emeralds and transformed into Perfect Chaos in the presence of Sonic the Hedgehog and co. They gathered all seven Chaos Emeralds and restored their power, allowing Sonic to transform into Super Sonic and defeat Chaos. Tikal then took Chaos home with her.
In the comics, she traveled to the present along with Chaos and several other Chao to help Sonic and his friends to stop the rampage of Eggman's Dark Chao.
Quotes[]

- —Tikal befriending the Chao in Amy Rose's vision, Sonic Adventure.
- "I'm sorry. I see you must not be one of them, huh? Did you notice the presence guarding these children? He's a very loving and gentle creature. These little creatures are too vulnerable without it's protection. This protection allows them to continue singing in peace. Even I was surprised the first time I saw them. Now my father is trying to take their sacred home. It seems his heart is closed off to us all. My true hope is that one day, we'll understand each other."
- —Tikal to E-102 Gamma in his vision, Sonic Adventure
- "My heart has always been in the Master Emerald, along with Chaos'. Now he's filled with anger and sadness. And If it goes on, he'll eventually destroy the world, like he did before!"
- —Tikal revealing herself to Sonic, Sonic Adventure.
- "These are the chao you were protecting. They stayed alive for generations and now live peacefully with humans. The fighting's over. Harmony's restored, and life goes on. Thank you, so much!"

Trivia[]
- It is unknown where Tikal actually went after the events of Sonic Adventure. When asked about it to Sonic at Sonic Central, he responded that he did not "know exactly where they [Tikal and other characters] are".[15] The image after the Super Sonic story credits shows Tikal at the Master Emerald Altar at Angel Island, but it is unclear on what the picture really depicts. In a promotional video for Sonic Frontiers, it is revealed by Takashi Iizuka that Chaos departed to heaven after the events of Sonic Adventure, suggesting this may be where Tikal went as well.[16]
- Tikal is one of the few Sonic characters with visible feet. Most of the other characters wear shoes all the time.
- Her skirt pattern has differed from an X-shape to diamond-shapes in various media. This was because early reference material depicted her skirt to have an X-shape, while her final design in Sonic Adventure had it changed to a diamond shape.
- When playing as Tikal in Sonic Adventure 2/Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, her lines are simply reused voice clips from Sonic Adventure.
- It should be noted that in Sonic Adventure 2, Tikal is given hooked metal plates on her knuckles.
Notes[]
- ↑ While Sonic's mind was transported into the past by Tikal on Angel Island, Sonic appeared sort of conked out in the present, according to Tails. Also, while E-102 Gamma was shown the past by Tikal, his body was taking Froggy from Emerald Coast to the Egg Carrier, as seen when Knuckles and Big were following the robot to the Egg Carrier in the period of time where E-102 Gamma was visiting the past himself.
