Nikila was a Toa of Lightning from Lesovikk's Toa Team, as well as his best friend among them.

Biography
Shortly before the Toa Mata were awakened, Lesovikk, Nikila, and six other Toa banded together to form the first Toa team. They protected their home island from external threats, as well as assisting the Matoran in their day to day tasks. Nikila displayed a prowess in strategies and tactics, and was made tactical leader of the team, under Lesovikk's overall command. She and Lesovikk grew to be close friends over the course of their hardships.

One day, while patrolling an area outside their homeland, the team was approached by a band of Zyglak. Lesovikk failed to react in time, and the Zyglak slaughtered Nikila and the rest of the team.

Karzahni's Vision
When Lesovikk attempted an ambush on Karzahni, the insane ruler used his Kanohi Olisi to show Lesovikk a vision of the day Nikila and his other teammates had battled against the Zyglak, which had accidentally been replaced by a sentient acid cloud instead. In the vision, however, Lesovikk managed to react in time, and saved his team. Enthralled by seeing them again, he completely forgot about Karzahni and Mahri Nui.

Through the vision, he spent almost an entire lifetime with his old comrades. However, when Nikila mentioned going on patrol to battle Zyglak, Lesovikk remembered that his team had died battling from Zyglak, and not an acid cloud. As a result, he saw through the illusion and the vision, including Nikila, dissolved.

Abilities and Traits
As a Toa of Lightning, Nikila possessed the ability to create, absorb, or control lightning and electricity. While Lesovikk was the overall leader of his team, Nikila was the tactical leader, having a knack for plans and strategies.

Mask and Tool
Nikila wore the Mask of Possibilities, which allowed her to alter the probabilities of different situations. She carried a trident which channeled her Lightning powers.
