“ | Since your grandfather was born of both worlds, our mission was to follow him into this realm and turn him to our side! Or destroy him. But he wouldn't serve. And I fell in love with this world he created. My fellow Oni wanted to complete our mission, but I turned on them, and I have helped the First Spinjitzu Master ever since. | „ |
~ Mystake. |
Mystake (alternatively spelled as Mistaké) was a supporting character in LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. She was an elderly lady that owned a tea shop in Ninjago. She had knowledge of all sorts of brews, including Traveler's Tea, which allows someone to go to another realm.
Roles[]
Mystake serves as a minor character in both Season 1: Rise of the Snakes and Season 2: Legacy of the Green Ninja, a flashback character in both Season 4: Tournament of Elements and Season 7: The Hands of Time, a supporting character in The Oni Trilogy (specifically appearing as a minor character in Season 8: Sons of Garmadon and a major character in Season 9: Hunted) and a posthumous character in Season 11: Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu.
History[]
Mystake was an Oni disguised as an elderly woman, who owned a tea shop within Ninjago City. Mystake once lived in the Realm of Oni and Dragons alongside her fellow Oni and was later dispatched to kill the First Spinjitzu Master, but after seeing the beauty in the realm he created, she changed her ways. Over the years, Mystake witnessed much of Ninjago's history, including the end of the Serpentine War. She was acquainted with Wu, a son of the First Spinitzu Master, and occasionally provided him and others with various types of tea with special powers.
When the Sons of Garmadon sought to resurrect Lord Garmadon, Mystake provided the Ninja with knowledge about the Oni and Dragons. She later helped save Lloyd after his nearly-fatal battle with his father and motivated him to lead the Resistance after his friends were seemingly killed. During an attempt to seize Garmadon's power, Mystake revealed her true Oni form and battled the dark lord. She was ultimately overpowered and killed, though her actions helped the Ninja claim victory.
Personality[]
Mystake was somewhat impolite but kind to some people, like Lloyd. She pretended not to have or know things like Traveler's Tea, but after having been paid or having recognized people she knows, she either gave warnings about the teas she sold or gave advice. She was said to have made mistakes in the past, hence her chosen name. Because she had learned from her mistakes, she possessed wisdom that rivaled Master Wu's.
Mystake was also brave enough to participate in a mission to approach Garmadon, attack him, and stay behind in order to keep him busy, buying Skylor time enough to escape. Mystake, in the end, despite the infamous reputation of her Oni brethren, died as a hero since she helped Skylor copy Garmadon's power, which would later be useful to The Resistance taking control of the Colossus.
Appearance[]
In her true Oni form, Mystake had completely black skin, with two small horns on her head. She had, unlike the other Oni, small pink eyes similar to human ones. She had large white fangs in her mouth on the underside, while her teeth were smaller but equally sharp on the upperside. She had white spirals and ornaments all over her face, just like the other Oni. She had a collarbone and three pairs of visible ribs on her body, just as Garmadon has. Her legs were unusually shaped, resembling goat's feet, and she had hooves. The only piece of clothing she wore was a purple belt with two bags, possibly tea bags, hanging on it.
When she shapeshifted so that no one would find her, she had the wrinkled face of an old woman with gray eyebrows and gray hair tied in a low bun. She was wearing a white T-shirt with a gray zippered sweater with white and red dots in line shapes. She wore gray pants on her legs.
Forty years later, her appearance hadn't hardly changed at all, except that she had a slightly different hairstyle, with her bun placed higher and a round straw hat on her head.
A few years later, she returned her hairstyle to what it had been forty years ago. She also started using a walking stick.
When she shapeshifted to a swamp rat, Master Wu, Harumi, and Skylor, she had the same appearance as them.
