Ashtifa, mercenary Toa for hire

Hey hey! Actually getting around to making and uploading those villainous characters I’ve been talking of needing!
This one’s less so a true villain than she is a Toa mercenary, one who doesn’t exactly believe in destiny or care of the code… anymore…

Funny thing is how much her mask actually inspired her personality!
Works pretty well eh? XD

==============

Ashtifa can best be described as tired, relaxed, energy conservative, possibly even a touch depressed if one gives her personality to deep of a look.

Since her awakening Ahstifa has always been different than the average matoran, slower, lazier, more easily tired out, or, as her villages fellow matoran saw her as, broken, a defect in their society.
Usually a matoran such as herself would’ve been sent to Karzahni… if that was still a remembered or viable option, instead, for the years she spent within her village, she was hated, ridiculed, tormented in basic.
For quite a while she’d actually tried to ‘fix’ herself, pushing herself to the limits of her energy supply but nothing she did ever really affected her standing within her village. It took her collapsing in a faint and being left alone until she managed to regain enough energy to revive herself before she finally gave up.
She became an outcast in a way, moving farther out of the village and rarely showing up, usually only appearing to do enough work to avoid being attacked and to earn necessary items and/or food.

She was the last one any of them, even herself, had ever expected to be destined to become a Toa, and when it happened she was overjoyed. The legends of Toa, their code, their destiny, they were always the one thing she truly enjoyed, and once she realized she was one, and the energy boost that came with it, she was overjoyed.
She believed that she’d finally be accepted in her society, she’d finally have a purpose.

She was wrong.

After her new title of Toa was revealed she found herself suffering more hate than she’d ever had. From acquisitions of somehow faking her way into her position, stealing someone else’s fate, and eventually leading to an attempt at physically hurting her, perhaps to the point of death.
That was around when she snapped.

To this day she doesn’t fully remember what happened, all she can remember was anger, pain, and fire. When she regained her senses it was to a ravaged island, ths smoking husks of huts and charred pieces of armour all that remained to show any had ever lived there.

After that she gave up the Toa code, taking to wandering the islands, avoiding others, and attacking those that followed her. Eventually she found herself in the mercenary line of work, having already had a small name built up from those she’d previously attacked.
She has a tendency to take more, long-term work. Jobs that can last for any given time of months, to years, usually as a personal on-hand, bodyguard and/or mercenary, mainly for the benefits and the fact that they usually provide quite a good amount of down/resting-time, or at least let her have a higher chance of haggling for it.

Gender: Female

Element: Fire

Kanohi: Avsa

Personality: Tired, lazy, a yawner and she can seemingly uncaring at times.
For the most part she’s a pretty agreeable person, not one to argue with others but also not one to properly interact with others, such as being really invested in any conversations, or making jokes. She will laugh at them though, if only by a tired chuckle.

She’s a much less evil than one’d expect of her reputation really.

Other attributes: Her energy stores are still much lower than average Toa, in truth only just above the usual matorans levels. But, due to this, she has also become quite good at conserving it, keeping her movements as conservative as possible and creating quite a useful fighting style, usually allowing her to actually outlast her more powerful opponents, albeit not allowing for her to outright beat them.

She is currently under employment by Makuta Mellex. The time range of said employment? Unknown.

Her ‘evil’ alignment could be considered questionable at best.

Weapons:
A pair of unfoldable tubes built into her arm, on the end are a pair of small saws, she can channel her element through them, creating enlarged flame saws.
The temperature can be modified to her wanting, be that metal melting to just a uncomfortable heat. This ability is also dependent upon her current energy levels.

Basic sword
