[carve] Metru Nui

On Metru Nui, Macku wasn't content with being stuck as a student or a teacher. She was skilled at boat riding, and with permission from Turaga Dume, she ran her own business, Metru Nui Line Boat Tours, which offered tours of the Metru Nui coastline by boat. She was the one who discovered the Dermis Turtles, and when Dume was going to ban the Rahi, she and Nokama convinced him otherwise.

[carve] Mata Nui

After the Great Cataclysm had fallen and the Matoran were taken to Mata Nui by the Turaga, Macku worked in Ga-Koro. When she met Hewkii, the two became close friends and Macku constantly tried to sneak out of her village to see him, much to the dismay of Turaga Nokama.

Five hundred years after the Great Cataclysm, Macku and Marka convinced Amaya to join a rowing club started by Kai. When a squid attacked their canoe, Amaya drove it off, but it then headed towards Ga-Koro. Amaya tied up the Rahi's tentacles to try and stop it, and Macku saved her when she passed out. She later retrieved Marka's Hau, which was lost when the squid attacked the boat.

She first met Takua when he was searching for the Toa Stones. She was a champion at Ngalawa Boat Racing, but she ultimately lost to Takua. When her village fell victim to a Tarakava tainted by Teridax's Infected Kanohi, she escaped and managed to find Takua to help. While he went to Ga-Koro to see the damage, she went off to search for Gali, which she succeeded in, but upon arrival to Ga-Koro was punished by Nokama for wandering away from the village, despite that it saved them, and was forbidden to leave again. Macku became bored at her confinement, and was later stricken with worry when she learned of the Po-Koro Epidemic, wondering if Hewkii was affected. She was later relieved when she learned that he had recovered.

Takua later met up with Macku again, this time to ask her to join the Chronicler's Company. Macku helped the company by driving a boat under Naho Falls, and then later defended the Kini-Nui from infected Rahi.

During the invasion of the Bohrok swarms, Macku patrolled the waters of Naho Bay in her canoe. When Pahrak attacked the village, she almost died trying to destroy the path leading into Ga-Koro, but she was saved by Hewkii. She also saved the Boxor pilots when the Machines were thrown into the water. However, the Bohrok were able to make there way to the village regardless, and the Matoran and Turaga were cornered, Macku made a final stand along with everyone else, before the Bahrag were defeated and the Bohrok were deactivated.

In return for saving her life, she taught Hewkii to swim, whether he wanted to or not. After the Bohrok and Bohrok-Kal were defeated, she was awarded a name change on Naming Day. Her name was lengthened from Maku to Macku. Her time with Hewkii had made her a good Kolhii player, and she was appointed goalie of the Ga-Koro team. Together with Hahli, she led Ga-Koro to victory in the tournament. She was evacuated from Ta-Koro along with the other Matoran during the Rahkshi attack.

She helped in the construction of Boats to facilitate her, and the other Matoran's return to Metru Nui, where she now resides.

[carve] The Kingdom

In "The Kingdom" Pocket Dimension, Macku was among the survivors who evacuated the old universe after Mata Nui died and escaped to the island of Mata Nui. When Takanuva arrived in this dimension, she was the first to see him, but did not recognize him due to her having forgotten his appearance as a Toa long ago, and Takanuva's armor color change. She brought him to Axonn to see if he was a Makuta in disguise, but Axonn discovered otherwise. When Takanuva asked where he could find Jaller, she directed him to the Great Furnace.

Macku was first released in September 2001 as Maku, and was one of the six "Tohunga" released as McDonald's promotional BIONICLE toys. This 8-piece Macku set depicted her form following her arrival on Mata Nui (and diminishment as a result of her time in a Matoran Sphere) but before The Rebuilding, and included a Bamboo Disk patterned with Gali's Kanohi Kaukau and the mask's name. The Macku set could fling the disk if one pulled back and released the right arm which held the disk.

Macku was next released in 2003 as one of the six small sets, which that year were the Matoran of Mata Nui in their newly rebuilt bodies. The 25-piece set featured a gear on its back which one could spin to cause the torso to swing, allowing Macku to swing her included Kolhii Stick and hit the puck-like Kolhii Ball, also included.

[carve] Trivia
