Lyala

"I wear it to reflect who I am. That I am the bearer of the Mirror of Souls. It reflects what is in all of us. It reflects our true selves. I wear the black mask to hide myself to show that I am not perfect, nor do I wish to be. I also have another side inside of me. The black mask is signifying that I am afraid to look inside, but also, curious. Yet, I won’t."

- Lyala to Seles, Sanctus Epitaph

Lyala, also known as "Lyala of the Mirror" is a wandering woman last seen on the Isle of Angelus Nui.

Biography
At some point in her past, Lyala came across the Mirror of Souls and adopted a black mask to hide her face from her own artifact. She began to travel, searching for the perfect beings to become vezons with her Mirror.

Sanctus Epitaph
At some point around 998 A.G.C., Lyala arrived on Angelus Nui, searching for hosts to become vezons for her own purposes. She began to experiment on various Matoran she found, killing two when they couldn't manifest outside of the mirror, forcing the souls out of the bodies. She left the corpses behind in search of other hosts.

Soon she started to experiment on a group of Matoran. Toa Seles and Thete arrived to stop her this time, but she used her Mirror to manifest the various Matoran into one being, into an organic lizard-like creature, not quite a Rahi, but more of a chimeric monstrosity of Matoran heads and limbs, and a lizard.

The creature beat the two Toa aside, allowing Lyala to personally reach them. She stepped on their throats and started to kick them when they talked back to her. She questioned them about why she wore a black mask, telling them it was because she was afraid of knowing what her other side was, what the Mirror of Souls would show her of herself.

She span around as a vehicle crashed into her creature, taking it down. Toa Tala approached Lyala and attacked her with his Fire powers and his sword, but she was fast enough to evade his attacks and strike him down with a kick to the throat.

Lyala, once all the Toa were downed, started to use her Mirror out of curiosity. She brought out Seles and Thete's other sides, giving them enough power to completely take over the bodies of their original forms, causing Seles and Thete's vezons to break out of the Mirror and enter their proper's bodies. The two Toa fought, but contemplated murdering Lyala.

She tried to use her powers on Tala, but he passed out before he could manifest anything. Thete and Seles continued to fight until Thete's attacks were redirected by Seles, smashing back into Thete and sending one blast into the Mirror, shattering it, freeing the Toa of the control of their counterparts.

Thete lifted his handgun at Lyala, threatening to kill her if she made the wrong choice.

Abilities & Traits
Lyala is a silent, curious woman. She strives for an unknown reason to create proper vezons through her Mirror of Souls, trying to achieve some unknown ends. She said that she was curious and proud, but scared to look at what was within herself. She has no compassion for anyone, killing any Matoran in her way to attempt to create vezons, showing no remorse.

She showed that she has pretty good combat skills, able to defeat Tala with kicks to the throat while avoiding his Fire attacks and swings of his sword.

Mask & Tools
Lyala wears a black mask, but not a Kanohi. She carried the Mirror of Souls, but it was destroyed by Thete and Seles. Presumably, because of her name, she has or had used other mirrors as well.
