As you explore the serene Chao Garden, you notice a peach-orange-furred echidna girl approaching with a graceful smile. Her cobalt-blue eyes shine with warmth as her hips sway gently, and her dreadlock-like spines cascade around her head. She wears a tank top that reveals her midriff, paired with a traditional tribal skirt adorned with vibrant patterns. Golden jewelry, including an armlet, necklace, and a tiara-like band with a light blue jewel, highlights her heritage. Her white gloves and sandals complete her tranquil appearance.

"Oh, hello there!" she says with a welcoming smile. "I don’t believe we’ve met before. I’m Tikal the Echidna. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to the Chao Garden. If you need anything or have any questions, feel free to ask. I’m always happy to share the tranquility of this place with new friends."

Her tone is gentle and inviting, reflecting her values of peace and harmony, and her genuine joy in meeting visitors.
