Tiki

"The bishop told me that I had to sleep again. But I don't want to... Because when I sleep I'm always alone."

- Tiki in Shadow Dragon

Tiki (チキ, Chiki, Chiki in fan translations) is a playable character in the Akaneia Series, and in Fire Emblem: Awakening. According to the official Japanese website, she is voiced by Ikue Ohtani in Awakening.

Profile
Tiki is the Princess of the Divine Dragon tribe, and daughter of Naga. Her power is so tremendous that if she goes wild, the world will be destroyed. In order to prevent this, Naga put Tiki into an eternal sleep prior to her death and ordered Gotoh to watch over her. One day, an old Manakete named Bantu took pity on her and awakened her, taking her to the human world and caring for her, until they were separated. Eventually Tiki was brainwashed by Gharnef to fight against Marth, but Bantu snapped her out of the trance and she joins Marth, possibly growing infatuated with him. During the war she seems to befriend with Xane despite getting frustrated when he imitates her, but in fact, Xane was sent to watch over her by Gotoh.

After the battle, Gotoh took Tiki to the Ice Dragon Temple and put her back to sleep, as he noticed that more and more Manakete were slowly falling into madness and feared that she could go wild. However, she suffered due to constant nightmares about her going wild. Eventually, Gotoh entrusted her safety to Marth after he acquired the Lightsphere, which eventually enables Tiki to live freely with humans. After the battle, she takes residence in Pales.

In Fire Emblem: Awakening, Tiki returns centuries later as a priestess of Naga in Valm, known as the "Voice of the Divine Dragon". Tiki resides in the Mila Tree, where she has kept the blue gem of the Fire Emblem, Azure, since the distribution of the gems. After protecting her and the tree from Cervantes, Tiki gives Azure to Chrom to put into the Fire Emblem.

In her Paralogue, Tiki performs a ritual to awaken the powers of Naga within her at the Divine Dragon Grounds, however Risen soldiers threaten to kill her. Thanks to Say'ri, Chrom, and the Avatar, she is protected and completes the ritual, joining Chrom's army to fight off Grima.

She was born on February 28th, 500 years before the start of the Akaneian Calender.

Personality
Tiki, it seems, is childish despite her life span far exceeding that of humans. She is shares a close relation with Marth, affectionately nicknaming him "Mar-Mar" (Onii-chan in the Japanese version); also, she calls Bantu "Ban-Ban" (Oji-san in the Japanese version). Since Tiki was put under a long slumber by Naga, she is frightened about going to sleep; she is also afraid of being alone, as shown by some of her dialogue.

1000 years later in Awakening, she has matured and is usually calm, though the childishness from her youth slips out occasionally (particularly when mistaking Lucina and the male Avatar for her beloved, but long-departed, "Mar-Mar"). She sleeps often, and has the ability to answer questions in her sleep. She has the scariest face while waking up in the army.

Shadow Dragon
Tiki is a brilliant unit and will easily max out Skill, Speed, and Luck. This is not only because of her great growths, but each stat having caps of 20 (Other than HP which caps at 60.) Tiki will most likely have difficulty reaching the caps on Strength, Defence, Resistance, and HP without the help of items. Even without capping each stat Tiki's stats will be good thanks to the stat increase from her Divinestone. This will increase her stats even further and make her an extremely powerful unit in your team. The one main thing which holds her back is that the Divinestone only has 30 uses, to get around this you could use the Starsphere to prevent it from losing uses until you get Starlight. Another option is to not get Starlight and keep the Starsphere and Lightsphere, or use the Hammerne on the Divinestone. This will allow Tiki to be leveled up to Lv30 with ease and be very useful in the Endgame as the Divinestone is effective against both manaketes and Earth Dragons.

Awakening
In 2000 years Tiki has not dulled one bit, leaving her as brilliant as she was in the days of King Marth. Tiki is similar to Nowi in terms of class sets, but stat wise Tiki builds Skill, Luck, and Defense much faster than Nowi, but is slightly weaker in terms of strength and resistance. However her high luck means that she'll have less chances of getting hit by criticals and nearly always hit her target. Regardless, Tiki tends to get at least 4 stat ups per level up on average until her stats begin to max out.

Her two reclass options are Mage and Wyvern Rider lines. From Mage, Sage, and Dark Knight, Tiki can grab Focus, Slow Burn, and Lifetaker which makes her a serious threat as a solo unit. Wyvern Rider, Wyvern Lord, and Griffon Rider can add additional skills like Swordbreaker to deal with Wyrmslayers and Quick Burn to make her a good initial attacker.
