Tottmnt Karai Updated Reference Sheet

Casey Twins<<< Lita May<<Venus De Milo<Jennika> Joana Jones

It’s Karai’s time to shine!

(I don’t have her mutant snake form made yet but I will try to get around to it)

I tried to intertwine snake like details into her design as a kind of foreshadowing to her mutation(via her chest plate and oni mask⬇️)

Her white hair streaks due to Karais mutation(not gray hair). They grow out a little more in her post arc design because A, at this point she has some what mastered the ability to change back and forth on command and B, she no longer has the need to hide her mutant side. In her post arc she is also leader of a new foot(very similar to 2012 Karai). She no longer dones her armor because like Mustang Sally her mutated skin is almost impenetrable.

If you’ve been reading my fanfic The Difference Between the Appearance, you know that her weapons are her twin wakizashi. A symbol of a warriors physical strength, social status, loyalty, discipline, honor, and,most importantly, the samurai way of life. It is found to be most significant in its connection to the samurai code of honor bashido. Where when faced with an act of dishonor, the wakizashi is used to preform seppuko- a ritual suicide. Ironically Karai would never commit such an act unlike the one who doned her the blades to prevent her from stepping out of line. The Shredder aka her father. As you can see I choose this weapon because it not only represents many aspects of her character but also the growth and hardships of said character.

(I kinda speed drew this)

That’s all I got for this post without repeating anything. Her full storyline and the storyline of the Hamatos and Foot here. Link is already above for my fic somewhat starring her and Mikey. Otherwise hope y’all like this and stay tuned for Jennika.

Cowabunga turtle fanz!

(Ps sorry about the crappy quality of the pics hopefully tapping them will fix that for now)
