Tikal
First Appearance: Sonic Adventure 1

The seven emeralds the servers. Chaos is power, enriched by the heart........

Tikal is a peach tribal echidna who actually looks pretty cool. I've always dug her design and wish other characters had this sort of care put into their outfits.

She is in Sonic Adventure 1 and is essentially the driving force leading the backstory of the game, broken up into (sometimes confusing) parts as everyone goes through the story. I don't think it's done incredibly well a lot of the time, and I think some parts are a little more confusing out of order than others. And none of the actual characters in the game get the full story either. But I do kind of like Tikal's presence overall, especially as the helpful buddy character ball of light.

Tikal is a part of an ancient tribe of echidnas during a war. She discovered the Chao and also Chaos, who was their protector and she became their buds. However, her daddy Pachamac decided to raid the altar they were at to take the Chaos Emeralds to destroy their enemies. Obviously Tikal wasn't about that and despite her best efforts to convince him otherwise, he sent his entire army to attack the altar the Chao and Chaos were at. They knocked Tikal out in the impending attack and when she woke up LITERALLY EVERYONE IS DEAD and Chaos was ready to destroy the world. So she sacrificed herself to bind both her and Chaos in the Master Emerald.

Fast forward to SA1 present day and Eggman destroyed the Master Emerald and she was released with Chaos again. Her spirit helps the heroes throughout the story and shows visions of what happened in the past. Eventually, when Chaos becomes Perfect Chaos, she appears to them and tries to tell Sonic to stash away Chaos again in the Master Emerald, but he kind of refuses because Chaos would still be pissed off inside there. And then eventually Sonic beats Chaos and Tikal shows Chaos that the Chao are being taken care of and they can still watch over them together in peace! And then they go away froever.

There's not a whole lot else to say about Tikal, but I've always enjoyed her part in Sonic Adventure 1. I kinda wish they found a way to keep her around since her design is so cool and you can do a lot with her spiritual concept that doesn't have a niche anywhere else in the cast. But alas, I don't think we'll see much of her too much more though.
