Sonic Runners
Tikal is a Fly-type character in the game. Gameplay-wise, she can float in mid-air and can boost the Distance bonus and Animal bonus by 100%.
Personality
Because of her grandmother's teaching, Tikal is a gentle, fair-minded,and kindhearted pacifist with a peaceful temperament, and as a result she opposes greed and violence, and wishes to live in harmony and tranquility. She is very devout to her teaching, never once resorting to violence, and will try to sway others from their destructive path (as the case with her father Pachacamac). Tikal is a very strong defender, and is not above helping others fight to protect the world and its people. She is a warrior member of her tribe and will only fight when necessary, but only for the right reasons.
Tikal is beloved by all, due to her kind and caring personality. She doesn't act on prejudice, although she was frightened by Chaos at first, she found a way to befriend it (along with the Chao's living there). Tikal loved her people, and even when her war-like clan disapproved of her ideals, she still tried to talk them out of their violent ways. Even when Chaos became corrupted by anger and sadness, she still considers it her friend, opting to seal it and herself inside the Master Emerald.
While wanting everyone to live in peace, Tikal tends to have moments of oversight, while trying to achieve it. She prefers the quickest path to to restore immediate peace, rather than what might restore harmony and be for the greater good of everyone involved. Regardless, she is well-meaning, and never lose sight of her goals.
Tikal never holds grudges, as she is perfectly able to forgive and forget.
Powers and Abilities
Being a trained warrior of the Knuckles Clan, she possesses skills befitting her tribe. She is very quick on her feet, being able to outrun Knuckles and Rouge.
Tikal is one of the few to access and utilize the powers of the Master Emerald on her own, by using the mantra of her grandmother, allowing to harness its various abilities. She is the only person to understand Chaos language.
Tikal has gained a variety of spiritual abilities, following her transcension. These powers include assuming the discorporate form of a floating and glowing orb, and can spiritually assume her physical form at will. She has the ability to levitate and teleport herself, and can incorporate her spiritual powers for special attacks, such as creating earthquakes, lightning bolts, and a flash of light to blind opponents.
A prominent spiriual power of Tikal's is the ability to transport other into the past in their mind. During these "visions" anyone can interact with their surroundings and can bring things back there into the present (an example of this is Tails' Rhythm Badge). While the individual's mind are visiting the past, their bodies enter a trace-like state and can move on their own accord until their minds return.
Weakness
Tikal's weakness is that she's not nearly as strong as some of the other characters as displayed in most media. In Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, she throws short punches and compared to the other treasure hunters, she can't sense Emeralds well.

Trivia
- Tikal is named after a ruined Mayan city in Guatemala whose name means "Place of Voices".
- It's unknown where her and Chaos at the end of Sonic Adventure, even Sonic at Sonic Central had no clue about where they went exactly. A popular theory is that they simply went back to the Master Emerald, but this theory was never confirmed. The image after the Super Sonic story credits shows Tikal at the Master Emerald Altar at Angel Island, thereby making the depiction even more mysterious; if they're in the past, future, a form of Heaven, or something else.
- In Sonic X, her voice sounds similar to Ly the Fairy from Rayman 2: The Great Escape.
