Zane Julien

Hair. Medium-length, shaggy, black. Before Season 8, his hair was shorter and combed to the side (different sources indicate left or right—the angle changed in different episodes).
Eyebrows. Thick, bushy. Interestingly, after the LEGO Ninjago movie, the shape of his eyebrows changed slightly: if they previously resembled his father's, then later they became more like his mother's.
Eyes. In one scene (in the anime-style episode "The Absolute Worst"), Cole is shown to have dark brown eyes. Build. Muscular. This is no coincidence: before becoming a ninja, Cole was a rock climber, and his physical strength has saved the team on more than one occasion.

A master of Spinjitzu, he is capable of using this powerful technique, which combines elemental power with warrior prowess.
Staff. His main weapon is a staff, which not only aids in combat but also serves as a tool for activating various mechanisms and even magic.
Knowledge of Relics. Wu preserves and protects ancient artifacts, knowing their power and the dangers they may pose. Wisdom and mystery. Wu often speaks in riddles and metaphors. He knows much about fate, time, and the balance between good and evil, but is reluctant to share this knowledge, believing that some things must be understood independently.
A love of tea. It's his signature trait. Wu brews tea constantly, and sometimes this drink turns out to be more than just what it seems: the series features "traveler's tea," which allows one to travel between worlds, and other special varieties.
Self-sacrifice. Wu has repeatedly risked himself for others. For example, in the Time Blades story arc, he sacrificed himself to stop villains, resulting in his being lost in time, later returning as a child. Conflict with Morro. Wu once took Morro, the Master of Wind, as his apprentice, believing he could guide him to the path of good. But Morro succumbed to pride and became an antagonist, a blow and a lesson for Wu.
The fight against the Overlord. Wu played a vital role in the confrontation with this powerful evil that sought to devour Ninjago.
Blades of Time. In one season, Wu encountered the Time Twins, Acronix and Krux. Due to the effects of their blades, he began to rapidly age, and eventually disappeared into time altogether. Wu is usually depicted as an elderly man with a long white beard, wearing a black and white robe (the colors symbolize the balance of yin and yang). His appearance emphasizes wisdom and calm, although in combat he remains a swift and dangerous opponent. He wears a douli and has white hair, sparsely styled, and a small ponytail.

— the one who assembled the ninja team (Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, later joined by Nya and Lloyd) and taught them Spinjitzu. His teaching methods often seem odd: he doesn't always give direct answers, preferring to let his students find solutions themselves, make mistakes, and learn from them. He believes that strength lies not only in the ability to fight, but also in the ability to make the right decisions. The son of the First Spinjitzu Master, Wu was born into the family of the creator of the legendary martial art of Spinjitzu. This explains his deep knowledge and immense strength.
Garmadon's brother. Wu has a complicated relationship with his brother. As a child, Garmadon was bitten by the Great Devourer, and the poison gradually transformed him into a villain. Wu has spent his entire life trying to save his brother or at least contain his destructive power. This family drama is one of the main plots of the series.
Lloyd's uncle. Lloyd is the Green Ninja, a key figure in the prophecy of Ninjago's salvation. For Wu, he's not only a chosen warrior but also a loved one, someone he cares about.

Misako Garmadon (née Montgomery) (Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu).

Who is she?
An archaeologist and historian, Misako works at the Ninjago Museum of History and is deeply versed in legends, ancient texts, and the history of the world of Ninjago. Her knowledge has proven helpful to the ninja on numerous occasions.
Garmadon's wife and Lloyd's mother. Her family history is closely tied to the series' main conflicts. She loves both Garmadon and her son, and often tries to save them both, even if it means making difficult decisions.
Master of Spinjitzu. Misako is one of the few characters without an elemental power who can use Spinjitzu. A complex love story. In her youth, Misako was close to the Wu brothers and Garmadon. Due to manipulation and the influence of the Great Devourer's venom, she ended up marrying Garmadon.
A sacrifice for the prophecy. Misako left little Lloyd at a school for troubled children to study the prophecy of the Green Ninja and try to prevent the devastating final battle.
Captivity and trials. At some point, she is captured by the Sons of Garmadon, and her rescue becomes a crucial mission for the heroes. She is 60 years old. She is the same age as Garmadon and Wu. Since Misako knew the brothers in their youth, and by the start of the series, Wu is already an elderly mentor, Misako's age logically fits into the same timeline. Height and build: Of average height, with a graceful posture and a toned figure, indicating her active lifestyle and love of archaeology.
Hair: Her hair is usually kept neatly in place, often with clips or combs. Her hair color ranges from light blonde to chestnut brown with gray streaks, indicating her advanced age.
Skin: Smooth and fair skin, without visible imperfections.
Eyes: Large and expressive eyes, usually dark or deep brown, that radiate intelligence and kindness.
Clothing: She prefers to wear comfortable yet elegant outfits appropriate for her profession. She can often be seen in long skirts or trousers paired with blouses or shirts.

Level-headed and level-headed. While Kai flares up and Jay panics, Cole usually remains calm and tries to find a rational solution. He doesn't rush to conclusions and prefers to think things through first.
Physical strength and resilience. He literally holds the line: whether he needs to cover someone, hold a wall, or carry a wounded comrade, he's the man. But his strength isn't just physical: he can withstand emotional pressure and doesn't break down in difficult moments.
Caring and responsible. Cole feels responsible for the team and often takes on the role of "big brother." He doesn't shout about it, but he's the first to notice if someone is tired or worried and will quietly offer help. Hidden vulnerability. Behind his outward composure lies a man who grapples with loss and fears letting down loved ones. For example, he experiences moments when he can't protect those he cares about very painfully.
Sense of humor. Cole has a dry, sometimes almost imperceptible sense of humor. He rarely makes loud jokes like Jay, but he can deliver a well-aimed remark that lightens the mood.
Fears and Overcoming. One of Cole's most well-known fears is dragons. He struggled with this for a long time, but eventually overcame it because he didn't want to let the team down. This is an important character trait: he's not fearless, but he acts despite his fear.
Family and Loss. Before becoming a ninja, Cole experienced the loss of his mother and tried to help his father cope with his grief. This experience made him more empathetic to the pain of others and taught him the value of family—even the one he found in the ninja team.
The Path to a Calling. Initially, Cole's father wanted him to become a dancer and even sent him to a performing arts school. This adds an unexpected dimension to the character: behind the stern exterior lies a man with a creative side.

He trained with the others. In the scene where he was training with Master Wu, Jay stood out because he tried to do everything "his own way"—not so much out of stubbornness, but out of a desire to find what he believed was the best way.
He was the loudest one to react to everything. When Wu gave difficult tasks, it was Jay who would be the first to voice doubts: "Is this really going to work?", "What if we screw it up?" But then he'd immediately suggest some crazy plan.
He was immediately drawn to Nia. Even then, a slight spark appeared between him and Nia: he tried to impress her, joked to make her laugh, and clearly wanted to please her.
He was one of the first to master Spinjitzu. In the pilot episodes, Jay is one of the first to perform the technique, emphasizing that, despite his talkative and fidgety nature, he's a true fighter. A comedian and energizer, Jay almost immediately starts cracking jokes, peppering them with puns and defusing tension. Even during serious training, he manages to slip in a humorous aside. For the team, he's the one who keeps everyone from taking himself too seriously.
A bit of a panicker. He's quick to get emotional: if something goes wrong, Jay is the first to worry, dramatize, and ask a ton of questions. But he doesn't run from danger—in fact, he runs into it, commenting on everything as it happens.
A self-taught inventor. It's clear from the early episodes that he loves tinkering and creating things from scrap materials. It's not just a hobby: he sincerely believes his inventions can save the team.
Friendly and open. Unlike the more reserved Zane or the hot-tempered Kai, Jay is easygoing. He tries to cheer everyone up and crack a joke to keep the boys going. Nya, 18, possesses lightning.

Friendly and open. Unlike the more reserved Zane or the hot-tempered Kai, Jay is easygoing. He tries to cheer everyone up and crack a joke to keep the boys going. He's the blue ninja, the master of lightning, and from the very start, he sets the comedic tone for the entire team.

What did he look like?
Costume. A classic blue ninja costume with dark blue and black details. In the LEGO design, this minifigure has a bright blue torso and blue legs, while in the animated series, his outfit emphasizes the element of lightning.
Hairstyle: Jay has tousled dark brown hair, styled as if it had just been blown by the wind—it fits perfectly with his "electric" theme.
Weapon: He carries Lightning Nunchucks in his hands (or on his back)—they glow and spark when he uses them.
Details. He has a lively, agile facial expression: he often opens his eyes wide, furrows his brow, and makes exaggerated gestures—all of which emphasizes his emotionality.

Independence and pride. Nya doesn't like it when people try to protect her or shield her from danger just because she's a girl. This is especially evident in her relationship with Kai: he always wants to protect her, and she firmly maintains that she can stand up for herself. This is why she created the Samurai X persona—to act independently and not depend on the team.
Discipline and hard work. Unlike the impulsive Kai, Nya approaches training and tasks systematically. She works hard to improve herself and doesn't give up, even if something doesn't work out right away. This was especially evident when she mastered the element of Water: she learned to control not only her strength but also her emotions, even when no one takes her seriously.
Support and balance for the team. While Kai is angry at Lloyd and the others are wary, Nya tries to see the bigger picture. She reminds the boys that sometimes it's not just about fighting, but also about understanding your opponent. Hair. Nya had short black hair cut into a bob. Later, in school, she cut her bangs—Lloyd teased her about her short hair, and she's kept her bangs longer ever since.
Clothes. In this scene, she's wearing casual clothes: a red and gold outfit. A key detail is the embroidered golden phoenix symbol on the outfit. This is a nod to her past: back then, she still marketed herself as "Hair." Nia had short black hair, cut into a bob. Later, in school, she cut her bangs—Lloyd teased her about her short haircut, and she's kept her bangs longer ever since.
Clothing. In this scene, she's in casual clothes: a red and gold outfit. A key detail is the embroidered golden phoenix symbol. This is a nod to her past: back then, she was still branding herself as Samurai X.
Other details: Nia has a mole on her right cheek, she's 18, her boyfriend is Jay, her older brother is Kai, and she possesses fire.

Empathy and sensitivity. Nya often becomes the team's "emotional center": she notices when someone is struggling, and she knows how to listen and support. For example, she was one of the first to see Lloyd not as Garmadon's son, but as a lonely child in need of a family.
Courage and determination. She doesn't shy away from risks if it means saving her friends or Ninjago. Nya knows how to make tough decisions and take responsibility—and she does it without unnecessary drama, simply because it's necessary.
A sense of humor and a lighthearted demeanor. Despite her seriousness, Nya knows how to lighten the mood. She has a dry, sometimes ironic sense of humor that helps the team maintain its composure even in the most dire situations. Independence and pride. Nya doesn't like it when people try to protect her or shield her from danger just because she's a girl. This is especially evident in her relationship with Kai: he always wants to protect her, and she firmly maintains that she can stand up for herself. This is why she created the Samurai X persona—to act independently and not depend on the team.

Empathy and sensitivity. Nya often becomes the team's "emotional center": she notices when someone is struggling, and she knows how to listen and support. For example, she was one of the first to see Lloyd not as Garmadon's son, but as a lonely child who needs a family. She doesn't want to be "in her brother's shadow." When Kai tries to boss her around and overprotect her, Nya calmly but firmly puts him in his place. She doesn't create conflict for the sake of conflict, but makes it clear that she is a force to be reckoned with.
Samurai X is her way of making a name for herself. As Samurai X, she operates discreetly but effectively. It's not about vanity: she cares about proving herself.

Age: approximately 18 years.
Clothing: At the beginning of the season, he wears a suit meant to make him look like a "little lord"—dark tones, elements reminiscent of Garmadon's style. Later, when he joins the ninja, his outfit becomes simpler and more comfortable, and the green color appears as his power unfolds.
Details: He has blond hair and an open, lively face—it's easy to see both mischief and vulnerability in it. His first encounter with the ninja. He tries to appear menacing, but looks more like a child playing villain. The ninja don't take him seriously as a threat, but they don't dismiss him either—they see him as a confused boy.
The Great Devourer awakens. This is the moment of truth: Lloyd realizes that his "heroic deed" has become a true disaster. His fear and confusion are very human, and it is then that the ninja begin to view him not as an enemy, but as someone in need of help.
His first training sessions on the Destiny's Bounty. Here we see Lloyd learning not only Spinjitzu but also responsibility. He can still get angry or offended, but he's already trying to do things the right way, like a ninja of wind.

Glasses. He always wears glasses—they're one of the most noticeable details of his appearance.
Age-related changes. His appearance changes slightly across different episodes. For example, when Julien was imprisoned for a long time in the lighthouse under Leviathan's watch, his face became more wrinkled than in his younger scenes. Hair. He has a rather distinctive hairstyle—slicked back. Interestingly, it's similar in design to Ed Walker (Jay's father) and Griffin Turner's hairstyles, except Julien's is white and he's 80 years old.

While captive in the lighthouse, Julien kept track of the days on the wall, showing how long he spent in captivity and how much he longed to see his son again.
He read a lot in captivity, especially adventure stories - this helped him maintain his sanity.
His line to Zayn, "You were created to protect those who cannot protect themselves," became one of Zayn's most important life guidelines. Zayn's creation and upbringing. Julien raised Zayn for years, explaining to him how the world works, and trying to give him everything a father could.
Captivity at the lighthouse. After Julien's death, Samukai resurrected him with an elixir and forced him to work for the Skeleton Army. To prevent Julien from escaping, he was locked in the lighthouse, guarded by the monster Leviathan. He spent many years there.
Reunited with Zane. The ninja freed Julien, and he was able to be with his son again. Afterward, he actively helped the team, building equipment (such as the Earth Drill and the Firebot) and repairing the ship.
Death and Legacy. After the final battle with the Overlord, Julien passed away, but his contribution to Ninjago technology remained vital: Julien's work influenced Cyrus Borg and the development of the Nindroid line. Zane erected a statue in his honor in Birchwood Forest. Caring and loving, Julien truly loved Zane and wanted him to live a full life. That's why, before his death, he erased Zane's memory—so his son wouldn't suffer the loss and could live as a normal person.
Brave and selfless. Even though he wasn't the most skilled fighter, Julien tried to help the ninja and sacrificed himself at a crucial moment: on the ship "Destiny's Bounty," he blocked a missile that could have killed Lloyd, Wu, and Misako.
A tenacious inventor, he was constantly designing, improving, and inventing new devices. His engineering solutions saved the team more than once.
Sensitive to the pain of others, Julien understood the fragility of life and strove to make the world a better place. He even believed that no one deserved to be captured—which is why Zane, emulating this trait, freed Leviathan.

He trained and helped master Spinjitzu. Zane was one of the first to consistently perform Spinjitzu, and this demonstrates his discipline. He doesn't rely on strength alone—he cares about doing things correctly.
He curbed Kai's impulsiveness. It was often Zane who cooled Kai's ardor, suggesting a plan rather than an immediate attack. For example, when Kai wanted to break into the Serpentine lair, Zane suggested gathering information first.
He supported Lloyd. When the ninja treat little Lloyd with suspicion, Zane sees the situation differently: he's slow to label him a villain and tries to understand his motives. For Zane, it's not the "son of Garmadon" label that matters, but his actions and intentions.
He showed concern in his own way. For example, he might discreetly check that everyone had their gear or prepare an escape route in advance. These aren't grand gestures, but it's the little things like these that keep the team together. His suit. White and silver with icy patterns and blue accents—it looks as if it's covered in frost. The design emphasizes his element and his "cold" nature.
Face and details. Zane has smooth skin, sharp features, and glowing blue eyes—optical sensors. His nature isn't yet revealed in the first season, but those eyes reveal he's not quite ordinary.
Hairstyle. Her hair is styled in a neat, silvery-white buzz cut—the look is austere, almost futuristic.
Weapons. He uses ice shurikens—they're not just throwing stars, but part of his power: they can freeze enemies and create icy surfaces. Training and Discipline. Cole takes his training seriously and strives to do everything correctly. He doesn't take the easy way out and is willing to work himself to the point of exhaustion to become better.
Team support. In conflicts, he often acts as a peacemaker: he prevents arguments from escalating and tries to bring everyone back to the common goal.
Willingness to self-sacrifice. If the situation calls for it, he will put himself at risk without hesitation to protect his friends.

It all started in the monastery. Kai was Koval and his younger sister Nya was kidnapped by Garmadon's guard and then Wu brought Kai to the monastery and taught him how to use the spinning wheel and there he met Zane Jay and Kai at night when they found all the weapons and the spinning wheel they saved Nya and Jay fell in love with her and after some time they had a fight in the monastery. Wu brought Lloyd at first they didn't accept him but then they accepted him and he became the leader.
