Takanuva

""But I'm not my 'kind', not anymore — your shadow leeches saw to that. I'm half Toa of Light, half Toa of Shadow. This was what you wanted, wasn't it? Toa consumed by darkness, Toa not hampered by things like mercy or morality. Well, now you can choke on it."

- Takanuva,to Makuta Mutran

Takanuva, originally a matoran named Takua, is the toa of light and one of the main protagonists in Bionicle. He was once an adventurous, but somewhat irresponsible matoran named Takua who found the mask of light with his best friend Jaller. Takua and Jaller eventually showed the mask to the turaga elders, and they sent them on a quest to find the seventh toa, to whom the mask belonged to. Eventually, after a Rahkshi attack, Takua realized he was the toa of light and put on the mask and turned into Takanuva, the toa destined to fight off Teridax's darkness.
