A princess from the Hapan Royal House, Chelik was the niece of Ta'a Chume, and also the elder sibling of Alyssia. It was thought that she possessed aspirations of seizing the throne and becoming the Queen Mother of Hapes.
In the year 27 ABY, Chelik's daughter made an attempt to assassinate Prince Isolder, who was her cousin. Teneniel Djo, the current Queen Mother, found her influence diminishing quickly, so Isolder's daughter Tenel Ka first thought that this was a last-ditch coup attempt by Chelik. However, she later came to believe that it was more probable that her ambitious sister Alyssia was behind it, seeing both Ta'a Chume's and Chelik's families as impediments to her own desires.
Ultimately, Alyssia's plans were unsuccessful, and Tenel Ka ascended to the throne.
- In The New Jedi Order: Dark Journey, Chelik is called "a legitimate heir" to the Hapan throne as of 27 ABY. She might be the unnamed daughter of Princess Secciah, who was mentioned in the prior novel The Courtship of Princess Leia as being the next in line after Ta'a Chume's family line as of 8 ABY.
- Tenel Ka mentions her "Aunt Chelik" in conversation, although a subsequent scene makes it clear that they are actually first cousins once removed.
