Gavla

"You might say I saw the light ... by looking into the darkness."

- Gavla

Gavla was a female Shadow Matoran and former leader of the Shadow Matoran in Karda Nui.

The Invasion of Karda Nui
Gavla was formerly an Av-Matoran and was in Karda Nui during the attack of the Brotherhood of Makuta. She was tending ScareRahi with Tanma when Chirox hit her with a Shadow Leech, becoming the first Av-Matoran to have her light drained. Later, after the Makuta had been blinded by the use of the Kanohi Ignika to revive Mata Nui, she was chosen by Vamprah to become his eyes and see for him. She fought alongside Vamprah many times in battles against the Toa Nuva and Av-Matoran. She was later cured by a Klakk against her own will, claiming that "The shadow was where she belonged." Gavla left with the other Av-Matoran to Metru Nui, where the Toa would meet them after the completion of their mission in the core. She later evacuated the Matoran Universe onto Spherus Magna.

Powers and Tools
Gavla as a Shadow Matoran had the ability to fire bolts of Shadow energy, along with the power to disrupt her enemy's sense of balance when paired with Vamprah.

Personality
Gavla was rude and impatiant, and known for being selfish. She did not believe in unity and therefore was happier as a Shadow Matoran. If she had her way, she would have continued to still be in the service of the Makuta.
