Finally properly designed Morgan
They're just a college student with a passion for tomato plants. Like those plants are one of the few things that they actually care about. They don't even like eating tomatoes, they just like growing the plants and will give away the tomatoes at any given opportunity. The turtles always know when Donnie's met up with Morgan simply because he comes home with his hoodie pocket full of tomatoes.
and i imagine they're in a sweater and scarf when out b/c, compared to how warm they keep their apartment for the plants, everywhere else feels cold.
i should draw them more, they're fun.
anyways, here's a bonus of Morgan without their scarf so you can see how cute their hair is down lol
(also coincidentally without glasses b/c it was on the same layer)

Ok so I’ve been sitting in this idea since yesterday and I kinda talked about it a little bit on Sunday I think—
But 12 April developing depression once she leaves for college and heavy anxiety due to her Kraang features blooming late while there. She’s so scared to leave NYC and the boys cause she feels safest there but Raph and later Casey urge her to go once they found out she got accepted to a college out of state.
It’s an attempt to have something normal for once.
So she goes and it’s a teary good bye, especially on Mikey’s part. Leo reassuring her that she’ll always have a place here when she gets back; same with Raph and Donnie. Once she’s there and settled in she does have an open line of communication with the boys for the first few months but that starts to get itchy once the work starts to pile up and finals start.
The boys understand cause hey, it’s a school where you pay to learn extra, of course you’re gonna get swamped by all the work.
But a week turns to a month and a month to two, almost three.
Not even Casey had been hearing from her.
On Aprils side things had gotten freaky for her. She doesn’t want to believe her eyes as she stares at her small dorm mirror as two Kraang like tendrils move out from the depths of her ginger hair. She keeps quiet in hope to not wake her roomie Gabrielle.
That’s when the nightmares start, nightmares where her whole head turns into a Kraang brain and she loses her self to Kraang Prime—
She butchers her hair a few days later. A shitty pixie cut and now she’s constantly wearing a beanie cause dammit that was a stupid move is she now has two weird tendrils moving around at the base of her head. She’s not telling the boys anything and unconsciously cuts context with them.
It takes one Casey Jones driving up to her dorm building in the middle of the night and throwing rocks at her window while her roomate is out to get her to crack. Unbeknownst to her the turtles had tagged along, worried sick about the silence on her end. She, in her anxiety riddled and sleep deprived mind, was gripping a tendril in one hand and craft scissors in the other when the banging at her window wouldn’t stop.
They bully there way in once April keycards them through the building door up to her room. The boys not asking questions until the room door was shut, and then immediately Mikey is the first to hug her. The first words out of Raph’s mouth was ‘you look like shit O’Neil’ with Casey seconding that statement with ‘what’s going on red?’. And suddenly that gap of silence between them was gone and she spills everything on the metaphorical table, the stress of class, her anxiety, the Kraang features coming in, the nightmares, how she was just about to cut these damn thing off her head—
And now she’s sitting on the floor Donnie’s hands on her shoulders telling her to breathe. Her heart is racing at a worrying pace as she feels a blanket being draped over her shoulders. To the boys it’s a worrying scene as well. Months without communication before Casey decides one night decide that that’s enough and make you and your brothers tag along with them to see what the fuck is up with their closest friend/sister. She’s got bags under her eyes and he hair is in a messy cut and now that the beanie is off she’s got two Kraang tendrils resting on her shoulders and she’s crying and trying to steady her breathing on the floor of her cramped, shitty dorm room.
Leo asking if she really wants to stay here. Seeing how she isn’t doing her best right now only being barley a semester in. She wants to though, wants to get through finals before she thinks about dropping out. Which leads to a Mikey and Raph wording more about her health.
“You haven’t spoken to us in what? Almost four , five months now and you expect us to just, let you stay here?” Raph is quick to snap out. He cares, he really does. But his anger is forefront to concern sometimes. Donnie reasons that she could talk to a campus therapist that he saw on a flyer as they were snuck in earlier. But talking to someone ‘normal’ about something ‘not normal’ doesn’t help.
It’s a back and forth before they decide that yeah fine you’ll finish the semester but the minute she’s done with her last final they’re driving back to pack her shit and dip back to NYC.
She gets better, not great but better enough to have her hair grow out again and manage to grow to a unsteady acceptance of her new Kraang parts. Maybe down the line she does college again, only this time community college to stay close. She has the opportunity to transfer once she gets her basics done but she’ll settle for a two year diploma for right now.

Ngl as cute (non derogatory) the jeff rowe tmnt movie seems to be... If Rise doesnt a get a second season im gonna be so sad bc this move seems so... Well ok we dont know much yet but so white. So unlike Rise whose humor style casting feels like for the first time the turtles were in modern new York w a dash of color thrown in here n there. And though i have hope bc jeff rowe's mitchell and the machines is so well loved and im interested in wht a tmnt show where they have Peers their own age to interact w (which has been where the franchise has been moving too for ages... So this is a natural conclusion) i just feel like itll be tokenized
