"Purity is what we strive for in Ga-Koro. It's our job to keep the waters Pure. If your mind is Pure you can have Visions, like Turaga Nokama and Toa Gali. And most of all, Purity grants Ga-Matorans great Speed!"

Biography

Metru Nui

On Metru Nui, Marka lived and worked in Ga-Metru.

During Toa Metru Nokama's search for the missing Ga-Matoran Vhisola, Marka assisted the Toa of Water in locating Vhisola on top of a building, where she had been chased to by the Dark Hunters Nidhiki and Krekka.[3][4]

Before the events of the Great Cataclysm, Marka was coerced into going to the Coliseum by Vahki under the command of Makuta Teridax (disguised as Turaga Dume) and was placed into a Matoran Sphere. She entered stasis, but was rescued by the Toa Metru and spirited away from the city, and was later awakened on the shores of Naho Bay on the island of Mata Nui.[5][6]

Mata Nui

Marka's size and power were diminished by the effects of the Matoran Sphere. Despite this, she participated in the construction of Ga-Koro, supervised by Turaga Nokama, using parts of the disassembled Airships that had been used to transport the Matoran to Mata Nui.[7]

In Ga-Koro, Marka became the Chief Shipwright and managed the Shipyards.[8]

Marka once talked Amaya into joining a rowing club, with Macku's help. When a Great Temple Squid attacked the Boat, however, Marka was pulled down into the water, and was saved when Amaya and the other Ga-Matoran attacked the Rahi, but she had already fallen unconscious by then. She temporarily lost her Kanohi Hau and was carried back to Ga-Koro by Amaya. Her mask was later recovered by Macku.[9]

Marka took her work very seriously, and was willing to offer Widgets for supplies such as Rope, Sailcloth, and Rigging. Shasa brought some of these supplies to the shipyard quite often. She also studied the Principle of Purity.[8]

Marka was trapped in a sunken hut along with all the other Ga-Matoran during an infected Rahi attack on the village. She was later freed by Takua and witnessed Gali fighting off the Tarakava.[10]

Near the end of the Bohrok Invasion, Marka also faced the Pahrak with Nokama, Onewa, and the other Matoran, during the Attack on Ga-Koro, shortly before the Bahrag were defeated by the Toa Mata.[11][12][13] Subsequent to the defeat of the Bohrok-Kal, she was rebuilt into a stronger form resembling the one she had prior to her confinement in a Matoran Sphere.[14] She later provided the Charm of Purity to Hahli, when the Ga-Matoran asked her about Purity.[8]

Return to Metru Nui

Marka helped in the construction of Boats to permit her, and the other Matoran to return to Metru Nui.[3] There, along with the other city inhabitants, took part in the effort to reconstruct the city. She temporarily stopped her work of reconstruction on order of Jaller, to force the Turaga to reveal where the Toa Nuva had gone, but she eventually got back to work.[15]

Marka later left Metru Nui for Spherus Magna in the aftermath of the Battle of Bara Magna, in which Teridax was killed and the Great Spirit Robot severely damaged.[16][17]
