If you think about it, 5 out of 6 of the TMNT 2012 girls have their own villain that they have a connection with in one way or another regarding their stories, along with them being obstacles for the ladies to overcome at some point.
April - Kraang Prime/The Kraang
Karai - Shredder/The Foot Clan
Mona Lisa - Lord Dregg
Renet - Savanti Romero
Alopex - Tiger Claw
The only one not having a personal villain is Shinigami. We can argue her beef is also with Shredder cause she’s helping Karai rebel against him but in the end, it’s still Karai’s personal problem to overcome. Shini deserved her own personal villain and I think Kavaxas would’ve been the perfect candidate. With a little rewriting, the cult of Kavaxas could’ve been something Shini’s family is apart of since she is a witch and comes from a long line of dark magic users (according to her concept art), tying her more into this season 5 arc and exploring more of her character beyond her just being Karai’s right hand woman.
Heyy hello hoo hoo!!! I do read ur anon asks but they're abt my lmk x TMNT crossover and I don't wanna reply til I have new content for that teehee. With that said here's a doodle dump, happy mutation day!!
Illustrations of the turtles' memories from the seventh episode of Back to the Sewer, "Identity Crisis." Minor bits of trivia
Leonardo and Donatello only have seven memory illustrations whereas Raphael and Michelangelo have eight (I double checked this in my files.)
The memories based on the Fast Forward season feature their associated turtles with white slits for eyes rather than irises and pupils like the other illustrations based on previous seasons.
Leonardo is the only turtle not to have a memory associated with the Fast Forward season, although his memory involving Renet does depict his eyes as white slits like the other Fast Forward memories
Looking back on THIS POST of mine, I talked about how the female characters in TMNT 2012 get established as love interests first before establishing their characters, comparing it to how Mona Lisa gets more time to establish her character first before being established as a love interest.
To further prove this little "theory", I looked back on all the girls introduction scenes and timed them, to see how long their introduction lasted before being establishing as a romantic interest.
Keep in mind these are the numbers I personally got when conducting this "study", it may not be fully accurate but a good estimate.
April - 14.95 seconds
Karai - 11.51 seconds
Renet - 25.50 seconds to 1 minute & 26 seconds
There's two because it's up for interpretation. Mikey's first glance at her doesn't fully tell the audience he's crushing on her, more hinting at it, but the second he starts actually flirting with her makes it abundantly clear.
Mona Lisa - 2 minutes & 53 seconds
Shinigami - 1 minute & 22 seconds
It may actually be shorter, but I began her timer when April started to "sense" her presence.
Like imagine if I was like 'IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.' But I'm just a Sleepy 17 y/o girl yk. That's how it be
