April

TMNT's April O'Neil appears in the 2014 and 2016 film of reboots Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, played by the beautiful Megan Fox. She is a 'Lifestyle Reporter' for Channel 6 news. April was born on May 16, 1986. As a child, her father, Dr. O'Neil, used the Ninja Turtles and Splinter as test subjects for his mutagen experiments, with April treating them as her pets, feeding them pizza when they were little. After her father destroyed his lab, he was killed by Eric Sachs while the lab was on fire, but April managed to help Splinter and the turtles escape by placing the Turtles and Splinter on top of a sewer grate. As an adult, she worked in journalism at Channel 6 but felt that her talents were under-utilized, reporting on relative puff pieces such as a new sports movement. While trying to follow up on an attempted story of stolen chemicals from a docking port, she first witnessed the Turtles active as vigilantes, later finding them when they thwarted a Foot Clan attempt to take hostages in a subway station. After hearing their names, she realized their ties to her father's work, but revealed the truth to Eric Sacks before the Turtles and Splinter could warn her of his real agenda. After Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo were captured, she helped Raphael dig Splinter out from the rubble before helping Raphael reach the Sacks estate, giving the other Turtles a dose of adrenaline to help them escape their cages. She even managed to land the final blow on Shredder in the final battle, kicking him off the antenna of Sacks Tower after the tip was knocked over during their fight. Despite the Turtles being a ground-breaking story, April kept their secret, noting that she considered them her family. Two years later, April has apparently returned to Channel 6, although she also acts as the Turtles' 'human contact', such as discreetly observing Baxter Stockman to confirm his ties to the Foot when the Turtles would be unable to get close enough to him. In the course of the film, she meets corrections officer Casey Jones when he is attempting to track down the Shredder and new mutants Rocksteady and Bebop after all three escaped during a prison transit that Jones was supervising. During her investigation, April discovers and loses a canister of the purple mutagen used to transform Rocksteady and Bebop, prompting Raphael to convince April and Casey to help him and Michelangelo break into police headquarters to recover it from the evidence room after Donatello's research revealed that the purple mutagen could make the Turtles human. In the process, April and Casey are arrested when they act to protect the turtles from the police, but during the subsequent interrogation, April refuses to give up any information about the Turtles, stating firmly that they are not monsters. Stockman attempts to frame April for industrial espionage and sabotage by providing the police with doctored footage of April stealing the purple mutagen, but Verne is able to find the original footage showing April escaping the just-mutated Rocksteady and Bebop and clear their names, allowing April to call the Turtles for help. At the conclusion of the film, April is shown delivering a news broadcast on the Turtles' role in saving the city, although she again avoids identifying them in order to let them continue to operate in secret. April has stated that she went to journalism school for four years. Height: 163 cm (5' 4"). Body Type: Athletic and Slender. Shoe Size: 7. Hair Color: Brown. Age: 37. Weight: 54 kg (119 lbs).

April meets the turtles initially by being at the scene of a crime currently being committed by the Foot Clan in a subway and becomes a hostage herself, along with many other bystanders. Four mysterious figures arrive, take out the Clan, and free the hostages. April follows them to a rooftop and is shocked to see that the vigilantes are giant anthropomorphic mutant turtles, causing her to pass out. When she regains consciousness, they advise her not to tell anyone about them. Turtles bring April to their sewer lair. Splinter explains April had saved them all from the fire and freed them into the sewers. The mutagen caused the five of them to grow and develop humanoid attributes. Splinter took on the role of their father, using April's father as an example. After finding a book on Ninjutsu in a storm drain, he proceeded to teach himself, then the Turtles, in the fighting style. When April reveals she told Sacks about her discovery of the Turtles, Splinter informs her that Sacks turned on her father and killed him, she had previously believed in died in the lab fire. April has been romantically linked with Casey Jones with on again, off again relationships, but April is most normally seen romantically linked with Donatello, sometimes as just friends, but usually as lovers. She also once was linked romantically with Leonardo. Michelangelo likes to flirt with April every chance he gets, but she's never been involved or romantically linked with him or Raphael.
