Description It started with a sketch back in the days of the Bionicle Art Squad. Combining two challenges, "Gender Swap" and "Matoran-Toa-Turaga," I drew a female Kazi as a Matoran and Toa, because honestly it was so easy to gender swap him. And the design has intrigued me ever since, to the point where I MOC'd all three.

Kazi was a Matoran "repaired" by Karzahni and sent to what would become Voya Nui. She was known for her sarcastic and pessimistic attitude, but when the Piraka attacked her home, she was willing to work with the rest of the Resistance (even Velika...). It was a surprise to everyone when Kopaka chose her to be one of his successors in the new world of Spherus Magna. What was even more surprising was that she did quite well in her duties, until the day long into the future where she too sacrificed her power to six new Toa.

only one complaint: the noble kanohi is wrong on the Turaga-form. it should be the noble Kanohi Matatu, not the noble Akaku

otherwise, it's good.

Yeah... I'm just... not a fan of the noble Matatu. This just felt more like Kazi.

I like to think that maybe before Kazi became a Turaga, Kopaka passed on, and Kazi inherited his mask as part of his legacy.  IDK, just an idea.

I was gonna comment about Kazi's "feminine features". Then I read the description properly and caught myself. XD

Anyway, clever design.

Umm... no, he's not? Kazi, like all canon Matoran of Ice, is male and has been referred to as such in everything I've seen, though I hear he occassionally had female pronouns in VNOLG

Huh...I swear Kazi was a girl in the books. I may be mistaken, in which case whoops.
