I was bullied into making this little goober (*cough* @exhaustedwriterartist *cough*)

ANYWHOZZLE!! MEET MY NEW BABY, PIER!! Pier is a mutated Kemp's ridley sea turtle! He is approximately the same age as the one and only Michelangelo! Pier was an experiment of Draxum's predating the capture of Lou Jitsu. Before Draxum found that "warrior blood" he so desperately sought after, he used the DNA of random humans to create Pier. However, when Pier failed to meet his expectations, he tossed the little guy into the East River.

Pier has lived there ever since! He pretty much raised himself. Since the East River is an estuary, his innate salt water craving had little-to-no problems surviving. Having watched humans from afar, Pier was able to pick up on some English and teach himself to speak somewhat clearly. That's actually how he got his name! Living in the water, he heard the word "pier" a lot whenever he was hanging around the docks. He liked the sound of it, so he donned himself Pier.

Because he's never had any proper social interactions, his communication skills are very delayed. Pier can hold conversations, but they have to be at a much slower pace. It takes him an average of five seconds to process what's being said to him, and then it takes a bit longer for him to properly formulate a sentence for a response. He tries his best though. :3

O’Neil family lore!!!

So the family tree from left to right is:

April O’Neil is 17 years old, and is human?

•Before April was born, there was a week where Kirby went missing. He returned, and insisted that he and Carol hadn’t been spending enough time together. Around a year later, April was born. Soon after, Kirby went missing again, and has been ever since.

•Kirby was kidnapped by the Kraang, and was replaced by a Kraang clone, tasked with making a kraang-human hybrid, resulting in April. Kirby has been a Kraang experiment ever since.
