Tuyet

"That's your problem, Lhikan - Always following the rules. Always worrying about others. Did you ever think we could do more good if we stopped worrying so much about who might get hurt in the process? No, no more problems... I'm about to become the ultimate solution."

- Tuyet

Tuyet was a Toa of Water that was part of Lhikan's team of Toa. She wore the Mask of Intangibility.

Early Days
From what we know, she lived in an island where the Nui Stone had been sent. The Dark Hunters were looking for it, and so she escaped with it to Metru Nui where she aided in the capture of the Kanohi Dragon. Thus, the Dark Hunters found this out and went after her.

Metru Nui
Around eight hundred years before the Toa-Dark Hunter War, Tuyet learned that the Dark Hunters had reached Metru Nui and they were looking for her. Thus she killed three Matoran--one every day, as a faked countdown by the Dark Hunters till they gave her the Nui Stone.

Toa Lhikan and Nidhiki discovered her plot and confronted her. In an attempt to kill them, she took control of the Nui Stone. However, Lhikan and Nidhiki defeated her and the Nui Stone was vaporized by Lhikan, although a few tiny fragments became embedded in her armor.

The Pit
After being defeated and captured, Tuyet was put in a chamber in the Coliseum to decide what to do with her, but she disappeared the next day. Those that were on guard said they had seen a gigantic figure appear from nowhere and disappear again with her. They figured it was a delusion, but in actuality Botar had taken her to the Pit.

She later died in the Great Cataclysm. Some rumors say that she helped Hydraxon in stopping prisoners from escaping from The Pit, others say that she herself tried to escape and just got unlucky; the true story of her death may never be known.

Reanimation
Around 4,000 years later, Teridax, in the body of the robot guardian Maxilos, led Toa Mahri Matoro to the ruins of the Pit, where he showed him the body of the Toa and demanded he use his Tryna to reanimate her. He reluctantly did so, and Teridax revealed that she had tiny bits of the Nui Stone stuck in her armor.

He also revealed that with the Staff of Artakha that Icarax was retrieving for him, he would be able to recreate the Nui Stone. In an encounter with Karzahni, Tuyet's body was shattered.

Personality
Tuyet acted kind and innocent, but only to disguise her dark plans to use the Nui Stone to destroy the Dark Hunters and Brotherhood of Makuta, and rule like the League of Six Kingdoms tried to do. The true Tuyet was cold and malicious, willing to kill to accomplish what she believed to be good. Of course, she had no personality when she was reanimated, because she was only capable of following Matoro's orders.

Powers and Weapons
Tuyet wore the Mask of Intangibility and carried a barbed broad sword. She controlled Water and had the ability to create water streams or summon floods. These powers were greatly increased when she briefly took control of the Nui Stone. She was then able to create a huge water spout and rise herself up into the air on it.

Alternate Universe
In Dark Mirror, an alternate version of Tuyet joined forces with Nidhiki and, after killing Lhikan, created an empire by convincing the other Toa that they were destined to rule. The Toa Empire defeated the Brotherhood of Makuta and the Dark Hunters and forced their survivors into hiding.
