YYAYAYAY!!!! next ask >:3
3. Is there a food or drink your character is unwilling to try? (April, Donnie)
hrmmmmm
april wouldn't want turtle soup (obviously) or anything with reptiles, really. she'll have gummy lizards an such though, just nothing made with real turtles and lizards. after she meets the turtles she leans towards more vegetarian tendencies and after arc 2 she very much prefers the vegetarian and sometimes vegan diet. (the turtles continue are not vegetarian by the way) April also doesn't like instant mashed potatoes, due to texture, not morals.
donnie isn't as against turtle soup as April because uuuuuuhhhhhhh
hhhhhhh
anyways.
he doesn't like spicy foods or foods that stick to his teeth.
7. Is there a food that has made your character sick? (Leo)
the Casey jones special 😔
energy drink(s) with rainbow sherbert ice cream in it, mixed with snow cone syrup, topped with whipped cream, sprinkles, and maybe a sour candy or two. that is the Casey jones special. Leo was not accustomed to it when he tried for the first time.
imagine victorian child tries Doritos and McDonald's sprite for the first time.
mud turtles were made to eat, like, grass and snails, not the Casey jones special.
skipping this next question! sorry!
(whether and nature)
4. Is there a natural phenomenon that scares your character? (April, Donnie, Leo)
Leo was terrified by thunderstorms when he was younger, still is sometimes.
april and donnie more often than not see unusual whether and such with curiosity, though April does get spooked by thunderstorms and Donnie has an unneeded fear of tornadoes (tornadoes aren't very common in NYC)
strong winds scare Donnie a lot, either because of or causing his fear of tornadoes.
6. Would your character enjoy sky gazing ? (Raph)
yeah! Mikey and Donnie really enjoy it as well but raph in particular seems like he'd like looking at the sky.
7. does your character have a good sense of direction? (Any turtle, I’m curious who might lead them if they were to get lost lol)
by "any turtle" I'm including Casey, the honorary turtle /j and April :3
I feel like Leo probably has the best sense of direction out of all of them, that doesn't mean he'd lead them if they get lost though. despite being the official leader he'll only actually lead them properly if prompted to, even if that means watching them all get more and more lost, not thinking to ask Leo for help. obviously if needed he'll mention "this is purple dragon territory" or "a manhole cover is a few blocks that way" if he feels it's necessary to keep everyone safe, but otherwise he'll just follow and watch them be like "okay, okay wait I think I recognize this building! I'm pretty sure the lair is that way!" "I dunno, the horizon doesn't feel familiar," "well that's why you look at the signs not the horizon!" "I'm looking at the signs, and I'm looking at the horizon, and neither are familiar." "yeah, probably because we never got this lost before!" "maybe we should just try to get into the sewers then try to find the lair." "we'll just get more lost that way!" "but at least no humans will be able to see us!" "unless there's sewer workers," "see! Donnie agreed with me!" "I never said that. I actually think we should follow sunflower road until something looks familiar. or we could call April for help." "we are not calling April for help!" " 'We'Re NoT cAlLiNg ApRiL fOr HeLp' that's what you sound like." ":("
anyways, I feel like Casey has the 2nd best sense of direction but that's mostly because he knows the streets, he has very little natural sense of direction so if you drop him somewhere unfamiliar without a map he's kinda screwed, not that he'll admit that.
donnie is next but again, not from natural sense of direction, mostly from his tech, he does have a pretty good sense of direction though! he just doesn't use it much, relying on other things.
raph has the next best sense of direction, this time it's actually from natural sense of direction, it's not the best but if he takes his time he can find his way around an unfamiliar place.
april and Mikey both have the worst sense of direction, good thing Mikey relies on his brothers, April on the other hand kinda just has to figure it out (usually using a map), at least until she meets the turtles.
9. is your character good with animals? (Leo, April (lots of aprils cuz I really love your April)
leo LOVES animals, they're much more understandable than people, if there's a spider in the lair he's usually the one to pick it up (bare hands!) and either set it free or give it to his snake (whether to eat, befriend, or to kill and abandon, that's up to his snake to decide :3 ) he caused a lot of frustration with splinter when he was younger because why and how does this kid that rarely leaves his shell always end up surrounded by snakes, frogs, spiders, rats, etc. and also is perfectly calm and okay with aforementioned animals.
april was the type of kid to roll in mud and swim in the creek then come back and give you a gift! (usually a small animal, dead or alive) and though now she has learned to suppress the urge to roll in the mud and grab snakes and frogs and lizards, the urge is still there so occasionally she'll pick up a small animal. she likes animals :3 particularly reptiles and amphibians. though she doesn't like rats that much......... she's afraid of rats.
15. is there a creature that scares your character? (Raph, Casey)
leo's snake :( for both of them, /lh
casey is pretty rough and tumble and that rubbed off on raph, that doesn't mean either of them aren't afraid of snakes and such.
casey doesn't like rats that much either, nor spiders nor lizards. basically every creature Leo liked/likes
19. what animal would your character say best represents them? (April and Casey)
april is a piglet, why? I dunno, just vibes. but after arc 3 she identifies more with rats :3
casey is a possum :3 why? vibes, again. when he was younger he probably saw himself as a turtle though, the turtles were/are a better family to him so when he was younger he was like "man, I'd make an awesome turtle, I fit in so well with these turtles too!"
(community and relationships)
4. Is your character upfront about their feelings? (The twins!!!!! (Mikey and Raph))
short answer? no. long answer? not really.
so, none of them are very honest with their feelings, but Mikey prefers not to share his feelings, especially the awkward or uncomfortable or difficult feelings. I think. I have a lot of difficulty writing Mikey, so don't trust, like, 80% of the things I say about him since I'm technically still working on his personality and character :P
as for raph, also no, but he's still a little more okay with feelings than the rest of his family, it's just that he's more upfront about anger than he is about literally every other emotion. he prefers to think about his other emotions in silence, away from others, not talking about it. he's okay with talking to others about their emotions, in fact he encourages it!
7. who is your character most honest with? (ok this might be weird but SPLINTER)
OOOHHHH I like this one!
shredder, next question.
okay, but like, splinter would say that it's shredder, and he's right, he is and always will be completely and entirely honest to shredder. why?........................
anyways. other than shredder, he's as honest as he allows himself to be with his sons (including Casey) he was also very honest with Renet Tilly, tang shen, and bebop and rocksteady, but nowadays he doesn't have many people to be dishonest to, he doesn't even know if renet, tang shen, bebop and rocksteady are still alive! and he only finds out shredder is still alive via his sons!
10. is there a habit your character has that they learned from someone else? (VENUS never asked about before yayyy)
wearing blue :D
except she actually looks so much better in a nice burgundy/red color I found, so it's kinda interchangable.
anyways, she learnt to be quiet and observe like Leo, she's suspicious of most people like usagi and a little of Leo as an adult. but as she grew older she actually learnt to be a bit more open to more reckless decisions, learnt from lita may.
venus is very prone to copying people anyways, I can't remember whether or not I've already spoiled the reason as to why, but she's very very prone to copying so, like, 90% of her personality and everything is just from things she's seen.
there's nothing else I can think of, especially since literally everything she does is from copying others
14. who would your character say knows them best? (April, Splinter)
for splinter: shredder :)
for April: before she meets the turtles, not really anyone, maybe her parents, maybe. after she meets the turtles, probably Leo! maybe Casey, probably splinter too!
17. how well does your character work with others? (Donnie and Mikey)
donnie doesn't work very well with other, at least in arc 1 :P he gets tired of people if he's working with the same people for long periods of time. particularly with raph, he just doesn't get along with raph very well. he really enjoys switching up who he works with, if he works with anyone at all.
after arc 1 though he chills out some, he's more open to working with people, especially his family. after arc 2 he's a little more cautious about new people but he's working at it.
mikey is basically the opposite, he prefers working with someone rather than working on his own but he much prefers working with people he knows (family) over people he doesn't (humans >:[ )
after arc 1 he's extra cautious but is finally okay with Casey (smh, bro took 8 years to trust this guyyyyy) and after arc 2 he finally likes Casey, but he's even more cautious around new people, human or not. arc 3 he finally chills a little bit, but basically his entire life he much prefers working with people he knows and trusts over anyone else.
THANK YOU FOR THE ASSSKKKKKK working on the 3rd on right now, THANK YOU!! this was not read through so it may not make much sense. THANK YOU!!!!! :3
