This is my version of Venus. She's an eastern box turtle mutant and the oldest of the turtles.
Backstory under cut.
Venus was created by Shredder using Tang Shen's DNA, who in my AU is alive and well, though mutated. At the age of 2 sge was traded to Big Mama in exchange for Hamato Yoshi. At the time the only other turtle was Leo and he was too young to remember Venus, while she has faint memories of him.
Big Mama wanted Venus to be a fighter, soneone so strong that they could bring in and awe audiences, though Venus needed to be raised and trained, so she had her best fighter do it, Tigerclaw.
Tigerclaw, who's real name is Balaram, was given Venus to raise and he swore to himself he wouldn't get attached, but things didn't happen that way. He became Venus's papa and he eventually managed to escape Big Mama with Venus.
They were on the run for years, Tigerclaw still training Venus, knowing he wouldn't always be there to protect his cub... and he was right.
When Venus was 15, Big Mama found them and her and Tigerclaw fought. She took Venus and left Tigerclaw for dead
Venus, believing her father to be dead, vowed to survive every fight she was put into in the Nexus and eventually escape to exact her revenge.
The large scar on her face that partially blinded her is from her first fight in the Nexus. Later she wears a prosthetic to replace the missing part of her beak and the scars on her body are a source of insecurity for a while.
She winds up fighting in the Nexus for over 4 years and escaped a little before she turned 20.
Thats all I'm gonna spill about her for now. She's my favorite turtle from my iteration, if you can't tell lol. But some of this stuff may change a tiny bit, but for the most part tjis is her backstory.
what if shredder leaned into the mutation, all of his henchmen are mutants, im talking tigerclaw, bebop and rocksteady, fishface, dogpound and rahzar seperately, foot soldiers gettimg experimemted on
shredder is also a mutant but kinda like mutant karai from 2012 where he can have a human form. as far what kind of mutant im thinking either snake, eagle, falcon, or shark all predators of rats and or turtles, or do 2012 super shredder but not shit, like mix metal into his dna
by the way, Rena swallowed a krang cookie so uh- might want to check on her,
seeing how the other people who ate Krang cookies are right now krangified..
"I genuinely don't think she'll be affected since her blood burns out any foreign poison in her body. Though it doesn't prevent her from getting sick by a common cold/flu."
