Tiki (チキ,Tiki) is a recurring character in theFire Emblem series.
Origin[edit]
Introduced as a child inFire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Tiki is amanakete - a race of dragonkin who are able to shapeshift between humanoid and dragon forms - belonging to theDivine Dragons, the most powerful manakete clan. She is the daughter of the clan rulerNaga, who is regarded as a god in many human cultures. In her infancy, she was sealed asleep by Naga before her death to prevent her from degenerating along with the rest of the dragonkin. She was later awakened by the fire dragonBantu, who traveled the world with her. WhenMarth first encounters her, she has been separated from Bantu, hypnotized by the sorcererGharnef and forced to defend theFane of Raman. Once Marth and Bantu save her, she joins Marth's army and forms a close friendship with him.
The sequel story inFire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem reveals that after the war ended, the sageGotoh took Tiki far away to a frozen temple and returned her to her endless sleep. Gotoh gives Marth the task of reuniting the five missing orbs from theFire Emblem shield which, in addition to restoring its ability to protect the world from a tribe of sealed evil dragons, would also protect Tiki from the risk of degeneration. When Marth reaches the temple and has made enough progress finding the orbs, Gotoh allows Tiki to awaken and help Marth's cause again. When the war ends, Tiki takes up residence in theArchanean capital with Marth and his wife,Caeda.
InFire Emblem Awakening, set thousands of years later, Tiki returns as an adult. She now lives in the continent ofValm, across the sea from Archanea, where she is revered as an oracle to Naga and known as the "Voice". During their war against EmperorWalhart, Tiki is visited by Marth's descendantsChrom andLucina, as well as their tacticianRobin. She gives them the task of once again finding and reuniting the five orbs with the Fire Emblem, so that they can performthe rite of Awakening and gain the power to stopGrima. She later joins their army after absorbing some of Naga's power. Meanwhile,The Future Past downloadable content series explores an alternate reality where after Naga's death, Tiki takes her place.
Tiki's child and adult forms both appear in the spinoffFire Emblem Heroes, while her child form appears in two other spinoffs:Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE andFire Emblem Warriors. Her adult form appears as an NPC inProject X Zone 2. Finally, an emblem clone of herself appears inFire Emblem Engage as part of the game's first DLC.
Due to being relatively quite young for a dragon in her first appearance, Tiki acts very childish. She sees Bantu as a father figure and calls him "Ban-Ban". She also dislikes raw vegetables but likes them pickled, so Bantu took up pickling so Tiki would eat her vegetables. Tiki became particularly attached to Marth, seeing him as an older brother and affectionately calling him "Mar-Mar." Tiki also has a good relationship with Kris, who she calls Big brother/Big sister depending on gender. By the time ofAwakening, Tiki had greatly matured into an adult and presented herself with more elegance and dignity, now carrying the weight of her many responsibilities. She speaks more formally and tries to develop relationships more professionally like with Chrom and Robin. However, she did briefly break down and revert to her past childish self at the sight of Lucina in disguise, who she mistook for her long lost Mar-Mar.
InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, Tiki appears as she does inAwakening, yet strangely breathes fire closer to her original appearance inShadow Dragon and the Blade of Light.

Tiki resides inValm as the Voice ofthe Divine Dragon. You might be surprised to learn that she is 3,000 years old. As befitting one from theDivine Dragon tribe, she has a very calm demeanor...but every so often, she'll show her youthful spirit.

InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
As anAssist Trophy[edit]
| “ | Tiki is a Manakete, a race of dragonkin. While she usually stays in human form, she can transform into a fire-breathing dragon using the power of a Dragonstone. She doesn't look it, but Tiki is actually over 1,000 years old. | ” |

Tiki is anAssist Trophy inUltimate, in her adult form fromAwakening. When summoned, she says "This might get unpleasant!" and uses herdragonstone to turn into her dragon form while the screen darkens. She will fly into position and then breathe fire at opponents, flying to another position after doing so. Her streams of fire will always be aimed directly at an opponent, consisting of a large hitbox that starts out at 28%damage before slightly weakening to 26% with it still doing 28% near her mouth. Her streams of fire also cannot bereflected orabsorbed due to them being a disjointed hitbox unlikeBowser'sFire Breath andCharizard'sFlamethrower. If the flames hit a surface, it will produce fire on the ground that lasts for a short time (50frames (0.83 seconds)) and deals 12% early on before decreasing to 10% and then to 8%. She always aims slightly above a target's current position then angles the flames downwards, making running towards or behind her safer than jumping or running away. She will perform this attack a maximum of four times before she transforms back into human form and departs. When departing, she will say "Sleep well!". She is one of the many Assist Trophy characters that can be KO'd, though it is comparatively difficult to do so compared to other Assist Trophies due to her high health, large hitboxes, constant movement, flinch resistance and the fact that she often stays high above the stage.
Her voice clips are taken fromFire Emblem Heroes.Training Mode describes her Assist Trophy:Transforms into a dragon and breathes fire.
Tiki has a spawn chance of38/2086. She cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies only to the base form unless noted otherwise):
