She steals a basket of fruit from a stall in the market at the same time as [[Lift]] but is noticed by the owner. This brings [[Nale]]'s attention to her, who then executes her in public view after she panics and draws a knife.{{book ref|Edgedancer|8}} |

==Appearance and Personality== |

She is around fifteen years old, and her name implies that she is native to [[Tashikk]].{{book ref|Edgedancer|8}}{{wob ref|5257}} She is well-known to other urchins, who place bets on how long it will take her to escape when someone notices her stealing.{{book ref|Edgedancer|8}} |
|||
==History== |
|||
She was at a street market in Yeddaw when [[Lift]] was following [[Nale]], and she stole a basket of fruit from a stall. She was noticed by the shopkeeper and unfortunately ran directly towards Nale, who easily apprehended her. She panicked and drew a small knife, but Nale easily disarmed her and then immediately executed her in full public view by ramming his [[Shardblade]] through her chest.{{book ref|Edgedancer|8}} The shopkeeper and other onlookers were horrified, but Nale explained that death was the prescribed punishment for assaulting an officer with a bladed weapon, and that any lesser penalty would have led to future crime.{{book ref|Edgedancer|8}} |

|[[Lift]]'s thoughts after witnessing Tiqqa's execution{{book ref|Edgedancer|8}} |

After Nale left, Lift attempted to use her [[Surgebinding]] abilities to heal Tiqqa and briefly thought it was working. A luminous figure appeared around Tiqqa, but it began vibrating and disappeared, and she could not be revived. [[Wyndle]] told Lift that Tiqqa had been dead for too long for Lift to help her, and that Shardblade wounds were particularly difficult to heal unless they were attended to immediately by a powerful Surgebinder.{{book ref|Edgedancer|8}} Lift said she would remember Tiqqa, and angrily resumed her pursuit of Nale.{{book ref|Edgedancer|8}} |
