'''Amaya''' is a [[Ga-Matoran]] native to [[Metru Nui]].

== Biography ==
=== Metru Nui ===
On Metru Nui, Amaya lived in [[Ga-Metru]] and worked as a [[Teacher]]. During [[Toa Metru]] [[Nokama]]'s search for the missing Ga-Matoran [[Vhisola]], she assisted the [[Toa]] of [[Water]] by suggesting she search Vhisola's desk for clues.{{BookCitation|BA1}}{{MediaCitation|NoTMMPCD}}

During the events prior to the [[Great Cataclysm]], she was coerced into going to the [[Coliseum]], by the [[Vahki]] under the command of [[Makuta]] [[Teridax]], disguised as [[Turaga]] [[Dume]]. There, she was then forced into a [[Matoran Sphere]] and entered stasis. However, she was later [[Great Rescue|rescued]] by the Toa Metru and awakened on the shores of [[Naho Bay]] on the island of [[Mata Nui (Location)|Mata Nui]].{{BookCitation|BA4}}

=== Mata Nui ===
Amaya was weakened physically by the effects of the Matoran Sphere, and lost her memories of Metru Nui. Nevertheless, she joined in the construction of [[Ga-Koro]] which was directed by Nokama and which was conducted using parts from the dismantled [[Airship]]s used by the Toa to arrived on Mata Nui.{{BookCitation|BW}}

After arriving on Mata Nui, Amaya became a Flax-maker in Ga-Koro. She was friends with [[Hahli]], who brought her Harakeke and Cowrie Shells with which Amaya made Flax.{{OnlineCitation|MNOG2|1}}

Five hundred years after coming to Mata Nui, Amaya was talked into joining a rowing club by [[Macku]] and [[Marka]]. During the excursion, a [[Great Temple Squid]] attacked the canoe. Amaya attempted to rescue Marka who was pulled away by the squid's tentacle, but failed and Marka was dragged into the water. Amaya then jumped in and began jabbing at the squid's eyes with her oar until the squid released Marka. Amaya then carried Marka to shore. The Ga-Matoran followed the squid to Ga-Koro, where they witnessed it ravaging the village. Amaya then attempted to tie up the squid's tentacles, but began to pass out from exhaustion and lack of air. She was saved by Macku as the other Ga-Matoran drove the squid out.{{OnlineCitation|T}}

When the [[Toa Mata]] came to Mata Nui, Amaya was trapped in the sunken [[Matoran Homes#Ga-Koro|hut]] along with [[Nokama]], and the other Ga-Matoran. She was later freed by [[Takanuva|Takua]], and witnessed the fight between [[Gali]] and the [[Tarakava]].{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|3}}
Amaya and Shasa acted as Guards while the [[Battle of Mangaia|Toa invaded Makuta's Lair]]. {{OnlineCitation|MNOG|8}}

She was also present during the [[Pahrak]] [[Attack on Ga-Koro|invasion on Ga-Koro]] during the [[Bohrok Invasion]].{{MediaCitation|BOA|6}} Following the [[Battle Against the Bohrok-Kal|defeat]] of the [[Bohrok-Kal]] by the [[Toa Nuva]], Amaya was [[The Rebuilding|rebuilt]] along with the other Matoran.{{MediaCitation|BKOA|3}}

=== Return to Metru Nui ===
Amaya helped in the construction of [[Boat]]s to facilitate her and the other [[Matoran]]'s return to Metru Nui.{{BookCitation|BA1}} There, she took part in the work to rebuild the damaged areas of the city. She temporarily stopped her work of reconstruction on order of [[Jaller]], to force the Turaga to reveal where the [[Toa Nuva]] had gone, but she eventually got back to work.{{BookCitation|BL1}}

Amaya later migrated to [[Spherus Magna]] with other remaining residents of Metru Nui, after Teridax had been [[Battle of Bara Magna|overcome]], ending his tyranny over the [[Matoran Universe]], over which the Makuta had gained control a few months previously.{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=295|post=11800}} {{GregCitation|OGDi|page=297|post=11859}}
