Origin#

NahoNahoNaho was a Toa of Water and a member of the Toa Mangai who served as a protector of Metru Nui. Formerly a Ga-Matoran, she wielded the elemental power of Water and was distinguished by her blue coloring. Falls was formed during the same event that produced the rest of the surface island.
