Hi friends! 
With 810Days and Hagah’s art contest, the board is getting more and more exciting. I’m glad to see that!
The other day, I finally finished the Tuyet MOC for Contest.
I’ll announce it right away! 
" Did you ever think we could do more good if we stopped worrying so much about who might get hurt in the process? " ─Tuyet
【Toa Tuyet (ver.Bu / for “Canon” contest)】
【Data】
Kanohi : Mask of Intangibility
Tool : Barbed Broadsword
Element : Water
Notes : Toa Mangai of water
【Concept】
“You and I have been friends for thousands of years. We’ve traveled together, fought together, and once almost died together.”
…This is the Lhikan’s saying.
Translation, at least Tuyet and Lhikan has their relationship for thouthands years, and not handrets years.
And Greg said “Lhikan’s teammates may had armors that similar with Lhikan’s”.
I don’t know this words means “Toa Mangai” or “Pre-Mangai”, but at least Tuyet was a his mates for very long time, so I think she was original member of Pre-Mangai, and had similar armor with him.
(I originally had a headcanon that Tuyet was a member of Pre-Mangai, but there was no proof.
However, reading @Dag 's excellent report gave me confidence in this hypothesis, so I built the MOC this way.)
And The Darkblue-Metro-Torso is one of Tuyet’s imaginaly design that shared by many fans.
I choose to take care this “Traditional Tuyet”, unlike my Nidhiki(I explain the reason later) as a clearly select for “MOC for canon contest”, but I also thought this:
“Simply ‘Dark-Nokama’ is too boring - If I using Metru Torso, I must challenge to something”.
When we build a woman’s BIO-being, we tend to pursue a “feminine” design by making her shoulders narrower.
However, there is also the fact that BIO-Being has a body structure that has nothing to do with gender, so a body type that is too “provocative” can be controversial both as a canon and as an opinion, and explicitly forbidden in contests.
(Honestly, realy realy honestly, I like also such build)
But in other words, I felt it was very “challenge worthy” as long as the expression was “not provocative”.
(In fact, in the movie, Nokama and Gali were arranged in a “feminine” way, without any “provocative” expressions.)
And we must check the point - Tuyet is such a dangerous and talentful person, who can acts as the “Queen of the Empire” in the alternate universe.
So I rearranged the fan-favorite shoulder joint for Metru-torso and built her shoulders at an angle, with no illegal connections.
This makes her looks “a little narrower than Lhikan’s shoulder length” and “her shoulder armor is bigger than Lhikan’s”.
This gives her both the impression of femininity and the impression of a dangerous woman warrior like Amazones or female militaly soldier.
I think you can feel this.
【Armor design】
I also used Vacuum shield, which is very popular piece when adopted KK’s mask.
I did harmonized by placing the “exhaust port” design common to both of them throughout.
Also, due to the design of the shield, there’s a gap in the middle of her “chest armor.”
I decided to tighten up the overall impression by surrounding it with a tire with a pattern that looks like a ripple, inspired by a heartlight.
(If there is a heart or some kind of power source in the water, there will naturally be ripples on its surface by its energy. I expressed this fact for as she is a Toa of water)
Her foot has little spiked heel at the to make it both effective in battle and expressing feminine.
(High heels are not practical in combat, so we did not adopt them, but since most Toa do not have heels to begin with, and have flat soles, the mere presence of these “small realistic-sized heels” allows for both femininity and practicality in battle, like Pohatu’s Foot additions or a combat boots)
【Barbed Broadsword】
The barbed broadsword, was a particularly difficult part of the process. The spiky feature was absolutely impossible to ignore, but shape had to be a sword, not a club, so I stayed up all night for 2 days just to get it right, thus destroying the rhythm of my own life. 
(Personally, it would have been easier to build a thin or very big sword, but the fact that it was a “broadsword” and it was very difficult to build it as “Looks powerful, but not big ridiculously”.)
(I also paid attention to the refinement and lightness of the design so that it would be easy to play as a MOC, which resulted in me building and breaking many prototypes and suffering a lot. But in the end, I was able to build a BB that I was happy with.)
