#unsure if I should tag the full title since there are no turtles

[carbonateddrinks]

Considering the surprising amount of people wanting to see my silly little oc, I’ve decided to go ahead and share her here!

This is Goya, a Shoebill mutant that lives with the turtles and splinter.

Close-ups + ramblings under cut,

So first off, I have to say I’m kind of proud of how She turned out in general. I was aiming for something similar to the 03 artstyle, and I think I got pretty close. I was pretty proud of the coloring while drawing it, up until I exported it onto my phone. That was when I’d realized that it appears different on other devices. ^^,

But anyways, more about Goya!

As said above, she lives with the turtles, although she was mutated separately. This doesn’t make her any less family, but does make her a couple years younger than her brothers.

Goya was first found stumbling around, clueless and jumping at every little thing she didn’t recognize. She‘s definitely grown since then, no longer looking at things with fear, but rather with curiosity and open-mindedness. She still doesn’t speak, but that’s just how she is.

She loves heights and climbing, which is often assisted by the use of her wings. Downside is, she can’t fly. She can, however, glide and flutter her wings to make her lighter.

And yet, despite her clipped wings, Goya’s number one dream is to one day be able to fly.

This feeds into Goya‘s love of exploring. On her first night topside she could not stay still. Combine that with the utter maze that is New York and you have a recipe for hijinks- and some action sprinkled in, as per the genre.

I have so many thoughts about her in my brain, and I’m sorry if none of this seems coherent! She‘s a joy and I love her.

But if you’re curious, shoot an ask my way!
