The idiots

[isonachiumbu0]

The turtles having another brother is dumb because there are already too many male characters in the franchise. Five of the main characters are male and splinter already has four sons, he doesn't need a fifth. Having the missing siblings both be girls is much better for female representation (if they're written well, of course). Ron corcillo usually says that the missing siblings are girls while andy suriano says one is a boy and i juuuusst.... don't like that they're adding another son, slash be damned :/ The draxum sibling's mask color being black is cool, though

Better quality screenshot of my Frida drawings, sorry for the poor quality in the first!

More turtles….

Yeah some of these I’m not super duper happy about. Clothes are hard. But I had fun theorizing about them! The one most likely to have clothes change is Jennika cause… yeah. Other than Mei and Lita, designs are also viable to change.

I just wanted casual clothes :( but I had no idea what to do 8n8

So rambles about ideas under the read more!

Mei (AKA Venus)

Mei is one of the two siblings that is swept away from the turtle brothers. And she is found by Tang Shen, a zoologist (or something). Shen at first thinks Mei is just a weird weird new species, until she actually starts to mimic her, and cling to her side similar to a child.

Shen realizing this is so much more and instantly getting attached decides fuck it. Time to raise a turtle baby. She moves out to more rural areas within New York to raise Mei where she can be safe and hidden away from people who would want to hurt her. She buys a farm off a nice family and packs everything up to go.

Mei is raised sheltered underneath her mother, and is homeschooled. She loves the countryside, and it allows her to explore to her heart’s content.

She has her own collection of things she finds outside: bugs, feathers, rocks, interesting plants and sometimes the few bone fragments around.

Mei does have at least one friend. The kid(s) of the family who previously owned the land would sometime come out to the property in childish rebellion and they met one day. So she does have that at least.

They’re fascinated by her, and also she’s smart and will do their homework for free. And she’s just eager to hear about the city life and the people!

Teng isn’t the most thrilled about this. But by the time she discovers this, there isn’t much she can do to stop it. Eventually she starts dating a man named Yoshi, and yeah at first he is freaked out by the fact his girlfriend has a mutant turtle daughter. But he eventually just shrugs about it cause there’s weirder things out there.

Mei gets to meet the turtles one day, but it isn’t a sibling bond. More of a friendly bond. And she does get to go to school! Which she’s super eager about and absolutely bouncing about. Aaaaand one day she does get a younger sister when Teng and Yoshi have a daughter named Miwa.

- Why Yoshi and Teng are her parents here is because Baxter and Superfly are separated so I figured why not.

- Also making her keep the name Mei, since there’s plenty of artists named Mei and I do like it ngl.

Frida

Frida is one of the two and that is separated from the brothers, and gets the short end of the stick sort of. Similar to the brothers she gets adopted by another mutant who is mutated by touching the ooze on her.

This mutant happened to be a spider, who becomes Big Mama. Who considers eating Frida, but decided not to. For reasons I haven’t decided yet.

Big Mama does love Frida, but mostly sees her as just a source to provide her with food. And Frida knows her job from a young age to provide for mama. She’s ruthless and uncaring to anything she grabs for her Mama.

Frida gets the short end of the stick as she is very much just a tool for Mama. And has to essentially fend for herself and teach herself. She’s quiet and calculating and just surviving rather than living.

Not sure how she would meet the other turtles, but it’s kind of a shock to her seeing the contrast of how she grew up and them (and Mei). She still has that instinct to feed her Mama, but also… it’s so nice to just relax? And not have to worry about her next meal, or if her parental figure is going to devour her if she gets too hungry.

Frida either moves in with Mei and her family OR with the turtles in my hypothetical AU. She still goes and visits her Mama who is mourning her loss tbh, but it is nice to just live in a stable environment once.

I imagine once Mama has changed enough and made an actual nice living place for Frida, she does move back in. They both learn how to be a family after seeing how other mutants have worked to do the same.

- Frida is super last minute as I just recently found out about her. Also I know she’s the “Venus” of ROTTMNT, buuuuuut they had also said new characters instead. So new character route.

- She wears dark clothes more frequently than the turtles. Buuuut after a while of learning to live she becomes a color fanatic.

Lita & Jennika

Lita and Jennika are “siblings” as they’re a part of an experimental batch. An experimental batch made by T.C.R.I.. They had successfully milked the turtles of ooze, and decided to make more stock to produce more.

And thus Lita and Jennika were grabbed to provide more of this ooze aaaaaaand they didn’t grab two turtles of the same age. Lita is very much a baby, and far too young to go through that.

Jennika is the only one old enough to produce ooze without potentially dying. But she’s only one individual and can’t go through this constantly. So T.C.R.I. is just stuck in a vicious cycle of not being able to get the amount they want cause they need to let her take breaks.

Jennika is very duty oriented, because this was what she was made for. This is her job and her life purpose. Buuuuut she is soft for Lita who is just a baby. And is basically a parent to her.

They get busted out and Jennika has the hardest time adjusting to freedom. She probably bonds hard with Frida tbh. But she is the closest to become a part of the brothers dynamic. She’s just got the cool older serious sister vibes.

Which tbh she’s spent her life taking care of Frida, so she sees them and goes “is anyone gonna stop these knuckleheads” and steps in.

Lita is adopted by Splinter and Stunkbug, and tries to also be the parent of Jennika. But she’s a tad resistant to that. And absolutely stressed about her baby sister not being her responsibility.

Lita gets to grow up in a family where she isn’t encouraged to stay hidden, and isn’t a product to be produced by a big evil company.

- If Frida was last minute then these two are SUPER last minute.

- They’re together since I haven’t figured out too much tbh about either of them. Just this much.

- Lita is adopted by Splinter and is raised as his daughter. Since I kind of am not a great fan of her seeing the brothers as her dads. Idk I just don’t like it personally.

- I played with the idea of Jennika being taken in by Shredder to pay homage to her origins in comic as a foot soldier. But ehhh it felt even more clunky tbh.

- Also neither are humans since I’m not sure if MM if human-to-mutant is even a thing. But that’s down to change. And if so I will probably make Jennika at least a weird mix of human/turtle (Lita can stay turtle tho).

[camarilla-arts]

I have so many other projects but i can't stop drawing Turtles that only I know anything about (Yet). Here's some Venus and her journey to find some family sleep.

[honestlyobsessed]

AAAARGH! She's so ANGSTY!!!!

[aalien-s]

okay i absolutely love her, but i refuse the idea of her having lips (implying that the boys have lips just that they’re not visible cuz it looks “feminine”). im a turtle beak truther.

[rocket-fiction]

Frida :D

Uhrrr YIPPIE!!

[tmnt-timeblind]

Character refs! Hooray!

More information under the cut

Donnie

Donnie is one of the youngest turtles and uses they/them pronouns. They are an albino Pink-Bellied Sidenecked Turtle, and are the twin of Leo. They are 14 years old.

Donnie is a lot like their Rise counterpart, they are autistic and their special interests range from animated shows/movies, to biology. They love learning about mystics, and unlike Rise!Donnie, Timeblind Donnie is much more of a mystics person than a tech person. Though they love both equally, they also love experimenting with mystics and how to combine it with their tech.

Their mystic powers deal in constructions. They use it a lot to build tech, make copies of keys, and even once powered the Lair's entire plumbing system for a week straight for collapsing for like 10 hours.

They have separation anxiety from their time in TCRI, and have formed a deep bond with their family, namely Splinter, Draxum, and especially Leo. They are quick to trust, often to a fault, and losing their family is one of their greatest fears. (Along with spiders, needles, deep water, heights, and the dark)

Leo

Leo is the older twin of Donnie (don't tell them), and is a Pink-Bellied Sidenecked Turtle. He uses he/him pronouns.

Leo has separation anxiety from the explosion (though not as bad as Donnie), often found hanging out with Donnie in their room or in their lab. He is deeply distrustful of anyone who might pose a threat to his family, even if they are family. Like a certain sister. Other than that, he's pretty similar to Rise!Leo, jokes around a lot, but has a more serious side.

He despises his mystic powers. Every time he uses them it reminds him of TCRI and their experimentation, their cruel words, the pain they inflicted. He was trained in portals from a young age, no longer needing katanas to make them, though he would sometimes use them for precision. Think of ATSV's Spot. He can also sometimes use his portals as a tangible thing, such as if he jumps into one portal, stands at the rim, and jumps into another one. If that makes sense.

Raph

Raph is an Indian Roofed Turtle, and uses he/she pronouns. He is 15 1/2.

Raph is the cook of the family along with Splinter, and Draxum when he ever comes over. She's quite good at her job, and enjoys it a lot. Her mystic constructs are similar to Rise!Raph's, however she can't change the size. He can make clones that are able to touch/hold things if his concentration is focused on them, and can extend the arms and such to reach high places, but he has never been able to actually change their size.

Except for that one time she tried and accidentally made the construct the size of a toddler. She doesn't like to talk about that.

Mikey

Mikey is the "oldest" of the turtles, the leader, and uses he/she/xe pronouns! He's an Indochinese Box Turtle and is 16 years old.

Mikey's the closest to Raph, though they aren't twins. He likes to help out with the cooking sometimes, but generally leaves it to his younger sister. His mystic powers are similar to ROTTMNT Mikey's. Though he prefers to use weapons, as if he uses his mystic for too long it can weaken him, sometimes for long periods of time. In later stories, he ends up using a cane.

Contrary to popular believe xe is not as strong as xyr Rise counterpart. Xe also has the bad habit of setting himself on fire. Fire extinguishers are kept at hand.

Mikey does joke around with xyr siblings, but not to the extend Donnie and Leo do. If xe does, it's usually a sign that xe are feeling happy and/or safe. If xe or xyr siblings are in danger, xe usually falls back into a protective, more strict and stern attitude. Family is everything to Mikey and he's willing to do just about anything to protect them.

Venus

oh boy! venus!

Venus is far from the oldest, being 15, but she's somehow the tallest, even taller than Splinter and Draxum, though not by much. She is Peacock Softshell Turtle and uses she/her pronouns.

Venus has quite a lot of lore behind her character. She's heavily inspired by Arcane's Jinx, having a similar character backstory. She's a clone of her sister Frida, by TCRI attempting to replicate her sister's powers, though it went wrong. While she does have similar, if not the same level of mystic capability as Frida, its not quite the same.

Venus' powers are dangerous and highly irregular. They're unstable and unpredictable, tied unintentionally to her emotions (as a lot of the others' are). She can't control if they flare up with her emotions, but she tries, trying to channel her energy into weapons which saps her energy massivly

She's had all sorts of tests run on her from an early age, she tried to produce lightning at age 7 and it malfunctioned and shot everywhere. She usually resorts to just using weapons, similar to Mikey.

Jennika

The overall oldest of the turtles, Jennika wasn't Frida's biological twin, but they referred to each other as such. She's 16, almost 16 1/2, and is a Red-crowned Roofed Turtle. She uses she/her pronouns.

Jennika was raised as a Foot soldier, one of the only mutants in the Foot Clan, and that's used to their advantage. She did not develop any of her mystic powers, as the Foot Clan had no knowledge of them and therefore did not train her.

Her fear of failure kept her from going back to find her family. She knows Frida is dead, by Venus' unintentional hand, and thinks Venus is dead too, and is terrified of what her family would think if they found out. Over time, she begins to think they are dead, and that her only family is The Foot. When she ends up finding them again she takes over the leadership position from Mikey, fiercely protective of her siblings.

Not pictured: Frida

Frida was the self-proclaimed twin of Jennika, and was a peacock softshell turtle. She was 12 years old at the time of her death, and used she/her pronouns. She was one of the turtles that showed the most mystic potential, and as such, TCRI cloned her in an attempt to replicate her mystic powers. However, this did not work.

She looks identical to Venus, however for artistic purposes (and to tell them apart) there are a few key differences. For instance, her skin is lighter and her golden markings are darker. instead of two big gold splotches on her face she only has one, and she has more smaller golden spots, having four arching over one of her eyebrows as opposed to 3.

[frida-hamato]

Quick sketch to practice Frida! thought it'd be cool if her gold claw things could extend like wolverine claws.
