Princess Tikal    Full Name: Princess Tikal Amberstone IX Age: 20 Delicate, soft-spoken, and demure, Princess Tikal is the standard-issue stereotypical damsel in distress. What with Daisy being strong enough to kill an ox, and Peach's having been kidnapped enough times to know the Koopa Kastle inside and out, Bowser has set his sights on Tikal now for his usual capture-and-ransom-the-princess racket. Hey, it pays the bills. Tikal is quite delicate and lady-like and so has very little fighting spirit, but she is one of the ancient Echidnae, so she has a little fire hidden in her somewhere... it's just frightfully rare. What she lacks in physical strength and stamina, she makes up for in tactical logic and a slightly devious sense of humor. Tikal has lived quite a sheltered life up to this point and is very shy, though the people of the Mushroom Kingdom all treat her very well. Tikal spends most of her time with Knuckles, whom she shares a very close friendship with. (Okay, they're dating. But keep it quiet. Her dad doesn't know about it yet...) But she occasionally joins Mario and Co. for a little game of golf or a picnic. Her opinion of Sonic is a little mixed. On one hand, he's quite annoying and very rude... but on the other hand, that makes him incredibly funny. But not attractive in any way! GAG!
