For her two newest Toa, Tuyet would utilize two kanohi.
To Gavla, she would award the Great Avohkii for her seeming loyalty. This mask of light had been found by the Toa Avokai (empire version of Inika) after following the guidance of the rahaga. Such an honor and destiny of importance was all Gavla could have ever wanted, and filled her with pride, but Tuyet knew bettter than most that pride would breed ambition. The empress decided to use Ahkmou as a warning to Gavla of what would happen if she ever betrayed the empire…
Playing on Ahkmou’s insecurities, especially those against his rivals, Tuyet convinced him to allow an experiment. Using a kanohi Avsa, Tuyet would drain Ahkmou of his light while simultaneously supercharging him with her Nui-Stone shards, hoping to make him a mighty Toa of Shadow. And Gavla would don the Avohkii, it’s energies enough to transform her on its own.
The process of converting Ahkmou was…imperfect. Without the proper use of a proper Toa stone, the now shadow Toa was Upgraded into a rather stunted toa. To account for this, he was upgraded with Nuva armor imbued with shadow by an almost alchemical means.
Now wielding a carver scythe as his Toa tool and a launcher stolen from an Exo-Toa, Ahkmou is a shadow of a Toa in many respects. He stands squat and shorter than even Matoro, and now finds himself relegated to dirty work missions.
Despite his new life being not quite what he wanted, Tuyet is sure to give him ample praise for a job done. Such recognition is enough to appease the Shadow Toa, and his loyalty to Tuyet is a genuine one. He can never return to his normal life, or so he believes, and his spiteful rivalry with Gavla and the other secret agents is further fueled by a single self belief.
In public, Gavla may be Tuyet’s poster-girl. Matoro might be given the more important secret missions. But secretly, surely, Tuyet’s private praises and recognition must mean he’s her favorite…right?
(I was surprised to find that I had a spare Rau. I’ll keep one for Nokama, and I’m thinking about painting Ahkmou’s gunmetal to match his armor. What do you think?)
Hope you enjoy

He looks pretty nice, the story bits are fun too, though maybe you cold replace the brown with blue, to work with the Rau?
Though it could look less like a Toa of stone.
missed the part about painting it, that might work too
