Biography

Harvali is an Okotan of the Jungle Tribe. She began a career as an archaeologist and became an experienced mountain climber. Harvali lived in a village in the Region of Jungle, near the City of the Mask Makers.

Harvali discovered ancient reliefs in a cliff below the city picturing the the Elemental Creatures and the Temple of Time. Harvali estimated these drawings were made long before the Mask Makers were born. Harvali also learned about the Toa from more carvings in the cliff. She asked Vizuna, the Protector of Jungle, to climb down so that he could see the reliefs himself. She was determined to build a bridge so that the rest of the islanders could see and study the carvings, but Vizuna tried to discourage her for the idea being too risky. She ignored the Protector of Jungle and built the bridge by herself.

A year before the Toa arrived in the City of the Mask Makers, Harvali went missing and the local villagers informed Vizuna of her disappearance. The Protector investigated the bridge and found the markings of Skull Spiders, but no sign of the archaeologist. He left the bridge intact so that in the slight chance that Harvali had survived, she would have an escape route, but declared as a precaution that no villager should ever come near the road.

Harvali had survived in a nearby cave, but was cornered by a giant snake possessed by a Skull Spider which prevented her escape. She armed herself with a spear and managed to survive until the Protectors arrived, searching for an alternate path to the City of the Mask Makers after Onua destroyed the bridge leading to the city.

Nilkuu, the Protector of Stone, managed to free the giant snake, saving himself, his fellow Protectors, and Harvali. Harvali guided the Protectors to the lair of the Lord of Skull Spiders, which was the only way into the city. The Protectors managed to kill the Lord of the Skull Spiders by bringing down the ceiling on top of him and the rest of the Skull Spiders, and the group arrived at the city just as Ekimu defeated Kulta. Harvali came to see the Toa and Ekimu, and became so surpised to see them that she fainted. Later, Nilkuu woke Harvali up, and the Protectors had her see Ekimu and the Toa use fireworks to get the Okotans' attention.

Harvali soon designed a rope bridge, built with the help of the Toa and the Protectors, to allow the citizens of Okoto to return to the city.
