I really believe that Lotus is Karai, for me it's a HC that makes so much sense: a beautiful and deadly Asian lady who is a badass kunoichi and morally ambiguous character, who has a soft spot for Leonardo and vice versa? 😏 her character never reappeared in any incarnation again but Karai did, and her name doesn't seem like a real name in the first place, at least not for a human XD
Leorai Week is over, I already miss it 😭 As promised, a different version of Leorai per day, different versions of this awesome ship 💙
Thanks a lot to @leoraidere for host it, It was so much fun, and hopefully we can do this again next year 💕

Leorai Week Day 6

Rise Of L E O R A I
You thought I wouldn't do Rise, didn't you? I don't blame you. I wasn't going to use canon Karai for, well, reasons (I really don't think I need to explain myself), so I did what others did before her character appeared on the show: I created my own Karai.
She is an Uwabami: A shape-shifting Snake Yokai with several magic abilities. A young woman full of dreams and ambitions wants to create her own ninja empire and army XD Later I will make a character sheet for her. If you are curious about her, you can ask questions.
I set out to do a different incarnation by prompt, because all Leorai is great Leorai 💖 Here we have some 2012 Leorai several years later on their honeymoon.
2007 Leorai may not have had much interaction since it was a single movie, but that only leaves open the possibilities of what may happen after that, of what their relationship is and will be like 💕 2007 Leonardo and Karai having a baby? I say, why not? And for the baby, feel free to imagine their origin however you want: Is really their biological baby? Did Karai gave birth to them? Are they a little mutant turtle that they adopted? Are they some kind of in vitro clone? Could be, the Foot Clan has resources 😏 😉
I love 2003 Leorai dynamic so much, there is just so much there, so much history between them, how would I describe their relationship? "It's complicated" and that is precisely why I love it. It's also basically the first Leorai ever and has a special place in my heart ❤️
I have to confess that I don't know anything about IDW's comics, except that for the "Enemies to Lovers" vibes that Leorai usually has, I get the impression that here it leans more to the "Enemies" side XD lucky for me, I LOVE that kind of ships ❤️ and who knows? If they manage to survive the other trying to kill them in their sleep long enough, they may start to fall for each other.
