Brinoa

Early Life
Not much is known about Brinoa's early life. As a Matoran, she lived in the Wolf's Tooth Junction, a huge, fang-shaped lake where two rivers, the Eonux and the Relta, met. She was an Av-Matoran Healer, and skilled when it came to treating Rahi-inflicted wounds. She held the ability to charge weapons so that, at a later date, they could let out bursts of light energy, until their charge ran out. Her mast was a Noble Kanohi Hau.

Recruitment and Transformation
About 1280 BGC, Brinoa was recruited by Makuta Icarax to become a member of Makuta Miserix's new Toa Hagah team, along with eleven others. The twelve of them were each submerged in Energized Antidermis by Makuta Mutran, Makuta Chirox, and Makuta Hemlix, with strange results. Eight died, but four, Brinoa, Skyrax, Orn, and Hjorn, survived and transformed into a new breed of Toa. They were a Toa/Makuta hybrid, immune to the Shadow and Rahkshi powers held by the Makuta. Their armor was similar to a Makuta's in the way that it held their Antidermis body. Unlike Makuta, they could not leave these bodies and inhabit other robotic beings. Oddly, due to some unknown power of the Antidermis, Brinoa became a Toa of Plasma rather than a Toa of Light.

Life as a Toa Hagah
Brinoa had only been a Toa for a short time before Teridax revolted and dethroned Miserix. After this occured, Brinoa, Orn, Skyrax and Hjorn were attacked by five Makuta, including Icarax and Gorast. Hjorn was killed by Icarax. After Hjorn's death, Orn employed his Mask of Gravity, sending the five Makuta flying. Unfortunately, Orn accidentally sent Brinoa with them. Fortunately, Brinoa held them off until Orn managed to catch up and release all six from Orn's Kanohi's effect. Afterward, the three Toa battled the Makuta several times. Brinoa used her new Kanohi Kakama to sprint across the water to Voya Nui. There she found Brutaka and convinced him to send her and her teammates to an alternate dimension.

Powers and Abilities
Because of her mutation in Antidermis, Brinoa is immune to all Makuta powers. She wears the Kanohi Kakama, but it is supercharged to make it even more powerful than the Kakama Nuva. A Great Disk was used in its creation. She is a Toa of Plasma, meaning she can create and control Plasma, which includes Lightning. Toa of Lightning are similar to Toa of Plasma in this way, except for the fact that Toa of Lightning have a much more specialized control of the element. Toa of Plasma can only create Lightning with extensive practice.
