Juleva

"Oh happy-cheer, caves..."

- Juleva expressing his disdain towards the underground, You Don't Belong Here.

Juleva is a Turaga of Air.

History
Like most Matoran, Juleva was created by the Great Beings to construct and populate the Matoran Universe. He eventually settled on an unknown island, where he befriended Lisfek. He would serve as one of his land's healers until an unknown Toa passed his power down to him, Lisfek, and Ekumas. The three would form a team, wandering around the Matoran Universe.

A few years before the Toa Mata arrived on Mata Nui, Juleva's team came across a Brotherhood of Makuta base within the Southern Islands. While the details are vague, it is known that the Toa of Air blew their cover somehow, and were forced to flee. Lisfek was captured by Xociv's forces, and the others were forced to leave him. Juleva would later attempt to rescue the Toa of Iron, though he would captured as well.

He was sent to Unoyr, where he was drained of his Toa Power and transformed into a Turaga. A breakout occurred some time later, and he was rescued by two of its inmates. Emomak, a winged victim of a Makuta's experiments, flew the Turaga towards the docks. He was later reunited with Lisfek, who had his own rescuers as well. The two had a brief conversation with each other, then boarded one of the riot's commandeered ships.

While he was introducing his old friend to some of the escapees, Ghjis struck the fleet with a storm of his. While the ship was destroyed by it, Juleva and some of the other prisoners survived by clinging to the floating wreckage. Eventually, he and Lisfek were carried to Versuva by Emomak. The three had a run in with Jismal and her group, but decided to accompany them to their hideout. He would join the Ag-Kraahkan, becoming one of its trainers and healers.

It is unknown as to what he did beyond that. However, it is known that he survived long enough to immigrate to Shperus Magna and join the new society being formed there. He would later disappear, possibly joining Ekumas in his expedition to Bota Magna.

Abilities and Traits
Much like a Le-Matoran, Juleva is energetic and carefree. While his time at Unoyr has sobered him up somewhat, he still retains his fun-loving spirit. He was also adventurous, never sticking to one place. He also has had a knack for being a trickster of sorts, a trait of which that annoy Lisfek. He has a dislike for walking on ground, preferring the treetops. He also has a distaste for water and the underground.

Like all Toa of Air, he could create, control, and absorb air. These powers were greatly reduced when he became a Turaga. He retained his agility from his transformation, though he isn't as nimble as a Le-Matoran or a Toa.
