The character designing in Rise is amazing, but one thing I especially love is how when it comes to the turtles designs, there’s similarities between them that are still differentiated
[Bit of long post ahead!]
Like just by looking at them, you can already see:
-Donnie and Raph have masks that cover their entire upper head
-Donnie and Mikey both have short mask-tails
-Leo and Mikey have three-sashes that connect on different points (they also both put their weapons there i think)
-Donnie and Raph just have belts
-Donnie, Leo and Mikey have markings, whereas Raph just has his spikes
-Donnie and Mikey both have knee-pads
-Raph and Donnie both have elbow-pas
-Mikey and Donnie both have darker shades of green for skin, while Raph and Leo have lighter ones (Leo also has a more yellow-tinted green)
-Leo and Donnie both wear fingerless gloves, Raph has the bandages that could kinda count as that? And Mikey got bracelets
-Leo and Raph’s gloves/bandages both almost reach their elbows
-Mikey and Raph both have unusual (but still very nice) teeth, Mikey has his tooth-gap and Raph his snaggle-tooth
-Leo and Donnie are pretty similiar in height and build (and forehead height-)
-Mikey and Leo have the same markings on their shells, Leo has three and Mikey has two
-Raph and Mikey also have things sticked to their plastrons, Mikey has of course the stickers and Raph the cross-bandaids (which i’m still confused on why exactly he has those there)
-Both Raph and Donnie have squares as their main shapes, but Donnie specifically has a rectangle
-Donnie and Mikey’s plastrons both have a pretty straight line at the top, while Raph and Leos curve slightly upwards
-Mikey, Leo and Donnie also all have toe-less socks that almost reach up to their knees:
(also i just noticed this when searching for a screenshot, but look at how Mikey copied Raph’s pose!! Adorable<33)
-Raph also has a yellow tint to his eyes;
-Donnie does as well, but only sometimes, usually his are also just white like the other twos
(Splinter also has yellow eyes, so there’s that)
Bonus, for their Ninpo designs:
-Raph and Donnie’s gloves reach above their elbows
-Leo and Raphs socks end just under their knees, Mikey’s probably end right at his kness and for Donnie they go above them
[If i forgot any, please tell me!]

if Splinter had found an abandoned April,
back when she was just a baby
Short story under cut:
Of all the things he had been expecting to encounter on his way back from scavenging for food and supplies, a human baby was not considered. Not at all. Large, doe-like brown eyes stared back up at him from the bundle of blankets within the wicker basket. The child was unnaturally quiet, as if waiting for him to turn away and leave just as whoever had left her alone had.
For a moment, he debated on walking away.
He barely had enough to care for his four sons, still waiting for him at home.
He barely had enough to care for himself.
But he knew.
Hamato Yoshi knew just how much it hurt to be left alone.
So, although he couldn't promise her much,
Splinter would promise to give her a loving home.
