Tika Waylan
Tika Waylan Majere (332 AC - 37 SC) is a fictional character from the Dragonlance series of novels.
Development
[edit | edit source]Tracy Hickman explained that the Dragonlance design group wanted to have a balanced and typical group in terms of role-playing games, and thought Tika as the female warrior of the party.[1] Margaret Weis attributed her appearance because the artists wanted to have a "babe" to paint.[2]
Biography
[edit | edit source]Tika was the adopted daughter of Otik Sandath, owner of the Inn of the Last Home before the War of the Lance. Her true father, the conman Alleran Waylan, disappeared shortly after her tenth birthday. Despite being a simple barmaid, Tika is also brave and spunky, whacking Draconians in the face with her frying pan, and coming with Caramon on adventures on occasion. She married Caramon Majere during the War of the Lance. Otik retired and left his Inn in charge of the couple.
They had five children: Tanin, Sturm, Palin, Laura and Dezra Majere. Sturm and Tanin are deceased.
Tika died, apparently of old age, a few months before the outbreak of the War of Souls.
