Lithelia was not always an aloof mercenary. In truth she was from high society originally, being from the same species that Brutaka was from, but threw away all of her rights and rank in order to hunt Makuta, who she held deep resentment for after the great cataclysm.

From her noble background, Lithelia honed her skill with the blade from fencing practice and created an incredibly agile fighting style.

Her weapon, a slender lightning blade, has the length necessary to dance around her opponents.

When building Lithelia, the torso is what I started out with first. It grew as I went on, but I am proud of it. I still feel it could be smoothed around the edges.

Quite literally.

From the back, I feel like I covered up most everything except for the calves.

Speaking of, I feel like in version 2 the legs will be fleshed out more. That said, the stability boasted is surprisingly better than anticipated.
As a member of Brutaka’s species, Lithelia shares the same peculiar extra appendages, which she chose to equip with quick flying daggers.

While she often lets the daggers hang out like coattails of sorts, she still can hide them away.

Overall this Moc was a fun challenge. I wanted to try my hand at a female Moc, so I thought about species that lacked female characters shown. Brutaka came to mind and I loved the idea. One of the most powerhouse, male characters in bionicle. It seemed like a high goal. A lot of Brutaka I edited out because Brutaka essentially is the Bane of Bionicle. The question became, "What can realistically be kept the same without it looking like Brutaka with Nuva chesplates. Ultimately I kept the clawed hands, layered feet, staggering height and Extra arms. The blue color also carried over, but I swapped the gold with silver because … well I have a lot of silver (Thanks 08). I feel like this has a long ways to go, but I am proud of the results so far.
So feel free to rate.
