Fellow addressees,

As it is my duty and part of this job, I hold reports, biographies and other important notes pertaining key or wanted figures in my archival database, concerning the Glitch in the System case. I find it important to have these classified documents to assist not only my bureau, but for others who may be in need of this.

Sincerely,

Toa Niihlus, Security Chief of Jiahk

Tachi

[Tah-chEE]

Species: Toa

Gender: Female

Structure: Slim/Agile, 6’8ft

Element: Lightning (Electricity)

Mask: Kanohi Mahiki, Mask of Illusion

Occupation: Rogue/Undecided

Weapon: Protosteel Buster Sword

History: Tachi’s past is unknown. But she did know one thing: her memories were taken away by Makuta and she would stop at nothing to retain them. Her protosteel blade was a gift from a Fe-Matoran during her travels and her visor she found once during an incursion on a Makuta base. From confusing, jumbled visions or dreams she receives, Tachi believes her past was a simple one: protecting a Matoran inhabited island before the Makuta came and sought specimens.

During her journey with Komas, she did discover she had a Toa brother named Uchik, captured and confined at a Makuta base. He warned her about a glitch in a system, and now with yet another mystery facing her, she struggles to unravel its purpose.

Biography: Tachi’s personality is very straightforward. No complicated emotions, no distractions and no relations. She is a bitter and stubborn being, and over the years her hatred and frustration toward her ignorance has strengthened. She has devoted her known life to seeking revenge against the Makuta and wants nothing to do with the outside world. Beyond her coldness and apparent emotionless attitude, she truly is an honest being at heart, but struggles with finding any hope at all during her journey.

Author’s Commentary: When you have a dashing male Toa, wouldn’t it be logical to have that coldhearted and dangerous female partner too? Tachi’s character clicked perfectly in with what I wanted and is the main star of GitS. A lot of her struggles, personality and general outlook came from personal and inner feelings in me that needed to be expressed in some way. Still, all us girls (and boys) just wonder how Tachi can be so distant with our dear Komas, it’s simply annoying!
