Turtles & Turnips: Community Staff
Sometimes affectionately referred to as the "Boss," Soda is the founder and community manager for Turtles & Turnips. Don't let her position as the Admin fool you; while she makes sure to manage T&T with a firm guiding hand, she is a bubbly chatterbox who is easily distracted and has cried over Jpop songs.
Favorite turtle: Loves all of them, but Donatello stands out
Likes: Illustration, writing, flowers, dogs, cats, history, shipwrecks, the sound of rain
Dislikes: Spiders, people lacking in empathy, bullies, sad endings
Other interests: Farm sims, Pokemon, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Apothecary Diaries, Violet Evergarden, Princess Tutu
She'll lull you into a false sense of security with her shyness, so by the time you realize it, it's too late--you're getting infodumped about Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Always curious and quick to search whatever problem she can't solve, this is how she hosted several fanzines and how she got the role of bot moderator! If you ever ask for a picture of her dog, you're signing up for a lifetime supply of dog pics.
Favorite turtle: Certified Michelangelo Enabler
Likes: tormenting her OCs, dark chocolate and mint, buying office supplies, making AUs
Dislikes: house centipedes in her room, people who let their cats live outdoors, milk chocolate

Meet the meemaw! Al is a geriatric millennial who runs around the server making sure everyone is hydrated and saying nice things about themselves.

Favorite Turtle: Hands down Leo, but like Pokémon she’s gonna whump them all.
Likes: Writing, baking, kickboxing, drawing, embroidery, reading, gaming, CATS, flowers
Dislikes: Bad food textures (ie:pudding), heat, bullies

Storm Arashi, Moderator, chaos gremlin and resident server enabler
Storm always strives to do her best, for her community and the people in it. She has a passion for storytelling, she's nurtured since childhood and be it art, streaming or writing, she's a busy girl who's happy to hear anyone on their ideas and be a sounding board. If you ask Storm, creativity is meant to always be shared and multiplied. She earned her enabler rep, because she's the girl of a thousand projects and loves fueling her friends AUs.
Storm is also a chronic night owl and has earned the reputation of the honorary European.
Favorite turtle: Donatello
Likes: 3D art, music, anime, novels, streaming, writing, creating chaos, laughing with her friends
Dislikes: Food with specific textures. Migraines, spiders, bullies.
Other interets: Sonic The Hedgehog, gaming, hoarding 3D models, collecting books. (Hoarding hobby stuff is a separate hobby okay!?)
Favorite animes: Apothecary Diaries, Oshi No Ko (There was no ending in Ba Sing Se) and A Place Further Than the Universe
As one of the active (rare) Europeans of the server, Rose has gotten the reputation of "the one who never sleeps" but that doesn't stop her from trying to keep up with everyone. She's the lady with too many ideas in her small head and usually voices those ideas out in the open. But at the end of the day she tries to get along with everyone and make them feel welcomed, keeping everyone as her friends (and will make sure they take care of themselves). Outside of the server she's introverted homebody and a dog mom, while in the server she's yapper if you catch her one of those moods.
Favorite turtle: Raphael (at first it was Donatello but the red turtle took over the braincell fast)
Likes: drawing, writing, animals (especially dogs), cosplays, baking, ttrpg (especially the one in the server), playing games with friends
Dislikes: bullies, timezones, snakes, weather being too hot or too cold
Other interests: Sonic the Hedgehog, EPIC the musical, Marvel, anime (too many to choose from), herbology, history (Feudal Japan especially) and folklore
Charlie, TTRPG Coordinator
As a Filipina and former martial artist athlete, Charlie is the resident ninja of the server. Although her days of beating up opponents in tournaments are behind her, she now puts her wit and strategic prowess to good use by running the Turtles & Turnips campaign, a TMNT-themed RPG campaign that runs on Monster of the Week.
Favorite turtle: Leo (cuz boy is that Asian immigrant oldest daughter syndrome relatable)
Likes: Drawing, writing, practicing martial arts, torturing players during TTRPG sessions
Dislikes: Bullies, concussions, getting tortured by the players during TTRPG sessions
Other interests: Dungeons and Dragons, Avatar the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra, EPIC: The Musical, precolonial Filipino culture
