Backstory:
Diana grew up originally in Connecticut, living in the suburbs with her mom and dad till the day she turned 11. She didn't have many friends in CT, and quite often wished she could move away all by himself. Her parents argued a lot, but it never got physical until her mother started to punch her father around. After the first time her mother did it; she immediately told her school counselors, not wanting her father to get hurt any longer. Soon after he mother was arrested, and her father got full custody. His father quickly yerned for a change, wanting to raise Diana the best he could. This resulted in a large move to Ney York City! Diana was stoked, excited to finally get out of her old school and old home.
When they first arrived in New York, they didn't have much at all. Her father worked 3 jobs while also keeping food on the table. Diana didn't make it easy for him, often getting into physical fights at school and getting into verbal arguments with teachers. She had switched schools at least 3 times before she landed at eastman High when she was 15. (A year before the turtles went public). She went to therapy often for her anger problems and ADHD. She was prescribed pills, but after looking at the price, his father just couldn't offer it. She tried to learn to cope without them, joining MMA, wrestling, and Boxing to get her anger out. After a year of this, she calmed down, not a lot. She still fought often, but it went from every day to every other day. Her father still didn't make much a year, but no longer had to work 3 jobs, and only worked one stable one. They made around 70'000 a year.
After the superfly fiasco, she quickly took notice of the turtles. She wasn't mutant racist or anything, but it freaked her out at first. The idea of weird, mutant people just walking around? Free? It scared her a bit. (NOT that He'll admit that). She kept a distance from them, not making an effort to interact or get involved at all. But it was hard to ignore them when every day at wrestling, there was only one other person in your weight class. A giant fucking mutant turtle. Was she hyped she finally got a fair wrestling partner? Of course! Was she slightly worried her spine would be crushed? Yeah. She was. At first, she beat him a lot, considering he was new, and she was 4 years experienced. But soon he learned, and he defeated her more often. It was still a 60/40 ratio, but he definitely wasn't the worst. After a couple months, one day when she was leaving the gym Raph stopped her. He seemed a bit nervous, he asked her if she could help spar with him so he could get his wrestling moves on point, and be better in general. She was hesitatnt at first, but agreed after some consideration.
They went from the school gym, to the local gym every day after practice. And it wasn't only wrestling they did! They trained in boxing, lifting, flexibility, cardio, almost anything you could thing of. Raph was the best gym partner she could ever ask for. Soon it wasn't just haning out at the gym, it was getting McDonald's, or going to time square to get the money out of the fountain. Soon he became a best friend to her. She also helped him with his anger problems (barley), she taught him breathing techniques to try, and things you can and things you shouldn't punch when mad. Raph changed her opinion on mutants pretty quickly.
But still after all these months, she never mentioned to her father about her knew friend. She told him that she might have one (it was rare), and about all the times at the gym. But she never mentioned he was the mutant thay saved the city from the Mutant fly. Part of this was cause her father agreed with her about how mutants were scary and weird at first. The olny difference was she changed... and he didn't. He didn't call them out on the streets or anything! But he made an angry Facebook post every now and then. When he finally demanded to meet this guy she had been talking about all the time, it didn't exactly go well. Another issue is that she didn't tell Raphael about his father's opinion on mutants either. So when she invited raph to dinner at her place to meet her parents...
Her father was shocked (or shell shocked according to mikey) not saying a word the entire dinner. Diana carried the conversation on her shoulders, the only thing making it less awkward is when she got Raphael to rant on and on about his least favorite math teacher or his brothers. After an hour and a half of that he finally had to go, she offerd to walk him to the door, but her father stopped her. Kindly suggesting her would do it instead. This is it, she thought, my best friend is going to die. As her dad walked Raphael to the door, he took a moment to whisper somthing into raphs (non) ear "if you ever lay a hand, or even a nail on my kid i will fucking wring your neck violently. Understand boy?" Raph wasn't scared of many things... but any time Diana suggested going to see her dad again he immediately shrunk.
Everything stayed like thay for a while. And it was good. Diana met Raphaels dad (Splinter made a threat as well, but it was much less menacing). She got along with his brothers, she pushed April to ask leo out almost every day. It was great. She finally belonged somewhere.
More info (facts)!:
She's genderfluied, but prefers she/her and they/them. On some occasions she'll really demand he/him but not often
Is Bisexual.
She can bench 210 (Max is 250)
She never got diagnosed with PTSD but when she sees or is in a physical altercation she'll feel the need to end it quickly because it reminds he of her mother. Weather that means stopping the fight, or finishing it with brute force.
After her father started to afford her medication, she chose not to take it. Preferring to live without them
She LOVES turtles, not just mutant ones. She actually owns a turtles herself. She named him Dominic, he's actually a common snapping turtles which is illegal in NYC, but it not her fault her dad's friends Vet company got left a bunch of exotic animals.
Is a great boxer, it's the only sport she can beat Raphael in 9 times outta 10. And she loves it. One times she went in the ring with Leo, and she broke his jaw. Was Raphael kinda pissed at her...? Yeah, did she pay for his medical bills? Yep.
She used to eat edibles at least 3 times a month, but after raph found out he immediately tried to make her quit, saying that it would mess up her frontal lobe. She toned it down for his sake, but one time he ate one of her brownies and it turns out he didn't hate it. But he wouldn't do it often. Maybe once every 3 months when he would have an epic win in wrestling.
It double jointed it 8 of her fingers
