Gaaki

Gaaki was a Toa of Water that became a member of Makuta Teridax's Toa Hagah team. She was mutated into a Rahaga, but later turned back into a Toa.

Toa
Not much is known of Gaaki's life before her recruitment into the Toa Hagah. What is known was that she was active as a Toa for quite some time beforehand, operating as a member of another Toa Team. Whether or not Gaaki was the leader of this team hasn't been revealed. When the Brotherhood of Makuta decided that Makuta Teridax needed Toa bodyguards, Gaaki was selected as representative Toa of Water of the new team. She was endowed with metallic armor to indicate her status as an elite Toa and her former teammates presented her with her current Kanohi as a badge of honor.

Toa Hagah
She and the other Hagah were assigned as bodyguards for the Brotherhood of Makuta protecting them from attacks such as Rahi as Teridax didn't have the time. Later however, the Toa Hagah discovered that the Brotherhood was actually enslaving and oppressing Matoran. The Toa Hagah then raided the Brotherhood of Makuta fortress. In the process, all except for Norik and Iruini were captured. Gaaki and the other three Toa were then mutated by Roodaka into the Rahaga. They were eventually rescued by Norik and Iruini, who were also mutated into Rahaga at the hands of Roodaka.

Rahaga
Gaaki, as a Rahaga was feisty, independent and at home in the water, and was always trying to prove she was just as a good a trapper as the other Rahaga. She used her staff as bait to entice swimming Rahi, then caught them using her floater spinner. Gaaki and the other Rahaga saved the Toa Hordika. They then helped the Hordika discover more about their bestial sides and how to control them.

Toa Hagah again...
"This is... amazing. Norik, it's over - we are heroes again!"

After they were transformed back into Toa Hagah, Gaaki and the others were then keeping watch over Roodaka and, despite their mutual hatred, protected her island from being destroyed. After Roodaka left for Miserix's island with the other members of the federation the Toa Hagah stoped the Kanohi Dragon and the Tahtorak from fighting. After Gaaki used her mask to find out that the Dark Hunters were coming to Xia. Iruini then teleported onto the Dark Hunters' boat and learned that they were going to destroy Xia to stop them from selling the Makuta weapons in the Order of Mata Nui - Brotherhood of Makuta war. Gaaki and the other Toa Hagah were teleported to the ship that Toa Helryx, The Shadowed One and Iruini were on. Helryx then told them of a mission and that Zaktan would be their guide. Gaaki saw through her Mask of Clairvoyance that they would be journeying to a "place of death", and one of them will not return.

Abilities and Traits
As a Toa of Water, Gaaki could create and absorb water. This also gave her the ability to control water, create storms, and cause floods. These abilities were lost when she was turned into a Rahaga, but she has since regained her powers.

Tools
It is unknown what Gaaki's tools were when she was still in her old team, but when she became a Toa Hagah, Gaaki received a spear and a Rhotuka Launching Shield as weapons, along with the Mask of Clairvoyance. As a Rahaga, Gaaki carried a staff that she used as bait for aquatic Rahi, along with a natural Rhotuka launcher. Her Rhotuka spinners were used to capture Rahi by flowing through the depths of the water, attaching itself to the target, and floating them up to the surface.
