Tyria

Tyria was a female Onu-Matoran who lived on Leskya Nui. When the island was destroyed she escaped with other Matoran and Toa to Powai Nui.

Early History
Tyria lived on Leskya Nui and may have had an occupation. When the Brotherhood of Makuta began attacking, she was one of the Matoran to begin fighting back alongside the Toa of the island.

Dirge
When the island was hit with a powerful weapon of mass destruction, Tyria escaped with two Toa and twenty other Matoran, including Jeko.

The Feral Plains
When her fellow Matoran and Toa arrived on Powai Nui, Tyria helped set up a colony. She was one of the few Matoran not to pair up on scouting missions.

Tyria did not interact with later events involving the island's native Matoran and Keelo being transformed and taking over much of the island. At some point, she met Ko-Matoran Jeko, and the two discovered that they had affectionate feelings for each other.

Before Jeko was sent to go on a spying mission, he and Tyria decided to spend some time together. They both spied on Keelo as he revealed the Mask Maker's Tool and used it to kill the Dark Hunter "Alchemist".

Later, Jeko was found and captured during his spy mission. Turaga Maroona used her Mask of Psychometry on his Kanohi and saw when Jeko and Tyria had spied on Keelo. She learned of the Mask Maker's Tool and Keelo's plan for a "Duel" against Detras, which was going to be a trap in order to kill him and possibly the other natives.

Appearance
Tyria has changed herself from her original form in large ways. Some of her armor, including her Kanohi mask, has been replaced with dark red and bright orange armor, contrasting her natural black and purple greatly. She wears an orange chain on her left ankle, a purple spike on her left thigh, a spiky purple protrusion on her left shoulder, and a longer purple spine on her right shoulder. Her mask, which is likely not her original, is artificially colored with dark red and yellow-orange. Her chest-plate is black, with azure and orange paint on it.

Powers and Equipment
As an Onu-Matoran, Tyria possesses inactive powers over the element of Earth, which manifest as increased strength and night vision. She wears a Powerless Kanohi Mask of an unknown kind.

Personality and Traits
Tyria is a defiant individual. Her ridiculous color scheme is representative of her need to stand out among others, although the rest of her personality is hardly as colorful as it is, as she is pessimistic and critical of others. Despite all of this, she harbors affectionate feelings for the Ko-Matoran Jeko.

Appearances

 * The Feral Plains (First Appearance, first appears in Volume VI in a flashback)

Trivia

 * In essence, Tyria is a parody of the "goth teenage girl" stereotype in media, especially characters like Sam Manson from Danny Phantom, which can be seen by her "goth" color scheme and pessimism.
 * Tyria's name has several references:
 * Her name is derived from Tyrian, a reddish shade of purple, referring to her armor containing both purple and red.
 * Ancient Phoenicians made Tyrian dye from the mucus of the Murex, also known as the rock snail, a nod to her element. "Murex" was also her name on the Lego.com Gallery.
 * Hexaplex trunculus is a type of rock snail which produces purple dye. If left in the sun, the dye will turn blue, referencing Jeko.
