The Chi Kids
A while ago, I had the idea to revamp some old characters and ideas I made from the ages of 11 to 13. To start off, here are some of my old TMNT OCs.
Mei Chi
Mei is my take on Mei Pei Chi/Venus De Milo, from TMNT: The Next Mutation, therefore making her not my character.
Mei was a fifth baby turtle that Splinter had adopted right before their mutation, making her the turtle’s sister. Right as the mutation began, Mei fell down a storm drain and became separated from her family. She was eventually found by Hua and Chen Chi, a Chinese couple who took her home and cared for her.
Mei is the oldest of her siblings
Big sister energy
Loves East Asian media, but is often quite about it
History lover
Learned cooking from her mother and really likes it
Is self conscience about being a mutant, so she prefers to wear large clothing that covers her whole body.
Jun Chi
Jun was taken for experimentation by the Kraang at a very young age. After being deemed to young and rejectable, it was decided to release her as a sort of field test to see how she fared. Much like Mei, she was found by Hua and Chen and raised as their daughter.
Jun is the same age as Mei, but wasn’t brought home until Mei was four.
Both Chen and Hua had to work more once the girls got older, so they grew very close.
The Extrovert to Mei’s Introvert.
Much more outgoing than her sister. Only being able to talk to the same four people all her life drove her crazy.
Likes to wear oversized clothing for the cozy value.
Mei and her often share clothes.
Likes to cook, but isn’t as good as her mom or Mei.
Loves drawing and art in general.
Comics and Sci-Fi Fantasies are her favorite things.
Cave Gecko genes make her more nocturnal.
Prefers darker environments.
Like to go out on the rooftop at night and do whatever she can to get rid of energy.
This gave her a love of stars and star gazing.
Ping Chi
Family. Baby. Ping is a third generation mutant. Child of two mutants with mutant parents. Ping was given into Chen and Hua’s care after his parents found themselves unable to provide for him. Ping came into the family when Jun and Mei were both 10, making him 6 when they met the turtles. (He’s more around 12/13 in the image because I’m dumb)
Jun got Ping into Sci-Fi, but he much more prefers the Fantasy genre.
Drawing sessions with Jun are their brother-sister bonding times.
Relationship with Mei is a bit strained, but they love each other.
Grew up watching martial arts movies. Can still recall most of the moves from memory.
Loves fashion. Often helps his sisters pick out their clothes.
Currently doesn’t play a big role until he’s a bit older.
