Description My first MOC! Celebrate! I wanted to create a younger version of a Vortixx. And it seems to have come along pretty well.

Bio: Tauira is a young vortixx who was revived by the Red Star after being consumed by The Mountain during her rite of passage. She was given a new body soon after the Red Star was repaired by The Great Beings and became fully operational. She continued her life as an elite member on Xia. But unlike all other Bionicle beings returning with a robotic body, Tauira returned as biomechanical. She returned in the form of an infant and "grew up" under the guardianship of a communications expert. She went on to venture into the world of technological support and lived her life until the final battle of Mata Nui and Teridax. As the Matoran Universe evacuated the Great Spirit Robot, Tauira accompanied Roodaka during the migration of The Pit's prisoners and helped her escape due to her previous title as leader of the Vortixx. The two of them now reside on Spherus Magna and Tauira, acting as a follower of Roodaka, learned from her ways of survival.

Personality: Tauira is generally easy-going and has been looked up by some given her new biomechanical body. Although somewhat naïve, she proves herself as an outstanding individual and a quick-learner. She never considers herself as a vengeful type and doesn't hold on to grudges in extend periods of time. She can be at times easily manipulated by other Vortixx but, because of her fairly high intelligence, she will often misguide them for her own benefit. She also seeks out to benefit others, including Roodaka.

Name: Tauira means "student" or "copy" in Maori

Very well done! I like the unique elements you added to the Vortixx body to make it look younger. The colours flow really nicely; I like the Bohrok Blue Eyes on her legs, it's a nice touch. Her backstory is very nice and believable in the BIONICLE world, I could almost see her as being a canonized character if they ever expanded on the Vortixx species. Also bonus points for the name meaning!

Thanks for the feedback I used Bohrok eyes because nothing else worked out. The backstory was kinda last second as well. I'll also be adding in more backstory as I progress with each MOC posted.
