Other Characters: Radical, Katmandu, Ninjara, Karai, Michelangelo
Name: April O'Neil
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Age: 27
Universe: Archie Comics
Time Period: Post-Terracide
History: April O'Neil was a young field reporter with her eyes on a Peabody or, more importantly, a spot as an anchor for the well watched Channel 6 News. She had genuine passion for the line of work and thought nothing more of a chance to get the first report on a hi-tech robbery in the city.
Little did she know that this fateful event would lead to her kidnapping and assault by the robotic ninja clan known as the Foot, headed by the Shredder. Thankfully, she was saved by four green skinned turtles and taken back to their Lair. She quickly befriended the group of mutants, along with their Master Splinter, and started a long, dutiful friendship with them.
This friendship, however, involved curving her news reports to protect the turtles as well as missing out on assignments in order to assist her friends on their missions. This led to her firing from Channel 6 News and a state of loss.
Fortunately, the turtles and Splinter were there to help April out. Splinter taught April self defense in the form of the ancient martial arts he had taught his turtle students. The turtles, in their many adventures, helped April find her path into a new career: freelance reporting, something she found suited her passion very well.
She ventured around the world with the turtles and fell in love with the Warrior Dragon, reported on national news as it was being made, and got her own assistant and camera woman, Oyuki Mashimi.
Personality: April has truly grown into her own character over the years with the turtles and Splinter. While at first she was a workaholic reporter with only career on the mind, her firing and soul searching has taught her to take her closest relationships more into account. She has come to respect Master Splinter as a great father figure while looking onto the turtles like her little brothers. It is a responsibility she takes very seriously as time progresses. Also (after the merging) she is growing more sentiment toward the apartment complex that, quite frankly, she barely has a memory of inheriting. She also is growing more of an interest in antiques seeing as how they are now everywhere around her.
Strengths: April is strong willed, determined, and quick thinking. She knows how to defend herself and is also keen on picking up on a good story when she hears it. This helps her work as a sort of detective for the turtles, honing in on details others might overlook.
Weaknesses: April is not nearly as strong as some of her opponents and she has the tendency of falling into the "damsel in distress" trap. She also is quick to jump onto a story or rumor that might not always be completely true, feeding in to her naivety.
Appearance: April is a five foot nine, bodacious Irish-American with long red hair. She no longer wears her iconic "banana" suit, though, she can be seen in some leather jackets and nineties Tommy Hilfiger blue jeans.
And since she's largely based off of these versions, too:
