Turquesa

Turquesa is a Gargoyle member of the Mayan Clan. Her name is derived from the pendant she wears.

Past
Turquesa and the three other pendant-bearers were away from the pyramid in 1993 when someone attacked the clan, smashing the sleeping gargoyles and looting the pyramid. When she and the others returned, they vowed never to leave the pyramid unguarded again.

Present
In 1996, Cyberbiotics began to encroach on the Mayan clan's territory, bringing Turquesa into direct conflict with them. Preston Vogel hired Jackal and Hyena to remove the gargoyles by any means necessary. When the Avalon Travelers arrived, Zafiro enlisted their help in defending their territory.

After the Mayan clan and their new allies had defeated Jackal and Hyena, Elisa took Jade and Turquesa to Avalon to transplant some rare rain-forest plants.

Characteristics
Like most Mayan gargoyles, Turquesa has black hair and a large crest on her forehead. She has the most common type of gargoyle wing (similar to Goliath's) and has turquoise and blue coloring. Perhaps her most unusual feature is that each of her elbows and knees sport several spikes.
