The faked countdown on Metru Nui#

Personality, powers, and weapons#

Tuyet acted kind and innocent, but only to disguise her dark plans to use the Nui Stone to destroy the Dark HuntersThe Dark HuntersA mercenary organization founded on Odina by The Shadowed One and Ancient, contracted across the Matoran Universe for assassination and theft, and ultimately reduced to a battered remnant by the fall of the universe itself. and the Brotherhood of MakutaThe Brotherhood of MakutaAn organization of Makuta created by Mata Nui to police his universe and build Rahi, later seized by Teridax and turned into the instrument of the Plan that overthrew the Great Spirit., and to rule as the League of Six Kingdoms had once tried to do. The true Tuyet was cold and malicious, willing to kill to accomplish what she believed to be good.

Tuyet wore a Great Mask of Intangibility and wielded a Barbed Broadsword. She possessed the Element of Water, giving her the ability to create water streams or summon floods. These powers were greatly increased when she controlled the Nui Stone, making her far more powerful than a regular Toa.
