Name: April O'Neil Biographical information: Home: New York City, Earth Aliases: Jungle Girl Nicknames: Ape Date of birth: 1980 Abilities: Ninjutsu, Computer programming Occupation: Scientist (former), Science assistant, Second-hand shop owner Affiliation: Ninja Turtles, Casey Jones (husband) Family members: Casey Jones (husband), Mrs. O'Neil (mother), Mr. O'Neil (father), Robyn O'Neil (older sister), Augustus O'Neil (uncle), Cody Jones (great-grandson) Physical description: Species: Human Gender: Female Height: 5'7" Weight: 125 lbs Ethnicity:Caucasian? Eye color: Green Hair color: Red, Orange/Light Auburn (Back to the Sewer) Out of universe information Era(s): 2003 TV series, Fast Forward, Back to the Sewer, Turtles Forever First appearance: A Better Mousetrap Created by:Marty Isenberg Voiced by: Veronica Taylor Teachers: Master Splinter April O'Neil is an ally and older sister to the Ninja Turtles. She is voiced by Veronica Taylor. After her marriage to Casey Jones, she presumably takes his surname for herself and her progeny, becoming April O'Neil-Jones. However, this remains unconfirmed and her co-founded technology company O'Neil Tech seen in the Fast Forward season preserves her maiden name. Appearance April is a beautifully, redheaded, woman with pale skin, and due to her appearance and name, she may be of Irish descent. As time goes on, she develops a bit of muscular tone to her limbs. Her primary outfit is a purple crop top, baggy khaki pants, a dark belt, and dark blue shoes. Her hair is normally made into a bun in the back. In Back to the Sewer, her design is streamlined to emulate her 2007 film incarnation. Her normal civilian clothes consist of a pink t-shirt with a white rectangle, a necklace with a yellow teardrop pendant, a pair of gray jeans tied in a dark purple belt with a grey belt buckle, dark purple leather bracelets, and light blue & purple sneakers. Her hair, still in a bun, is more of an orange color. Her skin is also less pale. In battle, she tends to wear a yellow jumpsuit reminiscent of her 2007 movie appearance, as well as Bruce Lee. Personality April is smart, friendly, and intuitive. Despite the weirdness she is thrust into on a daily basis since her attempted assassination by her boss, she has been able to acclimate eventually to where nothing at all seems to be too weird for her. Upon meeting Casey for the first time, he falls for her, but due to Casey's brutishness, bad temper and low intelligence, the two mostly clashed and fought over stuff. Whenever Casey tried to make a move on April, she would reject him. Despite Casey's brutishness, ill temper, and low intelligence, she eventually falls for him in a true case of "opposites attract". But it could also be due to his inherent kindness and honesty. Like other incarnations of the character April was fearful of the Turtles and Splinter at first, then overtime started to warm up and became their ally. She is loyal and reliable to the Turtles, Splinter and Casey. April gets along with Donatello the best out of the Turtles, as she's the only one who he can talk to about anything scientific. Powers and skills Scientific knowledge: April is gifted in technology-based science, as she was Baxter Stockman's lab assistant and a programmer in the Mousers' operating system. While her fields of knowledge extend a bit beyond tech, that is where she finds herself most at home. April has a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Mathematics conferred in June 2002 . Nurturing: April is essentially a big sister to the Turtles. She tends to them whenever they're sick or injured, talks to them or gives them advice or helps them out when they're having personal problems, or even physically protecting them whenever they're not able to fight, even saving them more times than they saved her. Aviation: April can fly a helicopter. Ninjutsu: April gradually learns ninja fighting skills from Splinter and from osmosis due to close proximity to other ninja. Weapons and Equipment Spear: When trapped in the world of the Giant wasps, she fashions a spear and is shown to be handy with it. Katana: April wields a single katana in Back to the Sewer, similar to her TMNT Adventures and 2007 film incarnations. Ying's Ring: As a result of wearing the Ying's Ring, April becomes demonically possessed and gradually transforms into a monstrous form, gaining several powers to go with it. See that page for specific abilities granted. History Just as in the Mirage comics, April started out as a 23-year-old science assistant to Dr. Baxter Stockman, the creator of the Mousers, but later helps the Ninja Turtles in their fight against The Shredder. Likewise, April owned an antique store which came under attack by The Shredder and the Foot Clan, who have come for the Turtles, and was destroyed in the ensuing battle. However, when she returned home from the Northampton farmhouse where she had been staying, she decided to re-open the store. It was rebuilt sometime after "The Return of Nano", when the Turtles arranged for her to receive a sizable financial reward. In the episode, "Secret Origins, Part 3", the creators of the show paid homage to the original cartoon series by having April don a familiar yellow jumpsuit. This also includes a pinned label that reads "9," but during a mock interview it slips, turning into the familiar "6." Posing as a reporter in order to help the Turtles escape from the T.C.R.I. building, April stalls the military and buys the Turtles enough time to defeat the Shredder. Upon their escape, Leonardo jokes that April seems to have an aptitude for a career as a reporter; she responds with a sarcastic "Maybe in another lifetime." Casey Jones is also shown to have an attraction to April though their contrasting personalities often make them bicker. By the third season, the two are shown to be dating and appear to have developed a serious relationship. In the Fast Forward season it is revealed that the two eventually marry and have children. In the series' actual plotline, the development between {{char}} is finally consummated in the episodes "The Engagement Ring" and "Wedding Bells and Bytes". This version of April makes much more use of her scientific expertise, and she often uses her computer skills to aid the Turtles. This has also meant that she has developed a closer relationship to Donatello, who shares many of her interests. Truthfully, according to a bio book given to Toys 'R' Us, they share a little brother/big sister relationship. She is also revealed to have earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics from University of New York, graduated in 2002. April also has developed modest combat skills after training with Splinter. Her quick thinking is often a key to the Turtles' survival. Indeed, in the second season episode "April's Artifact", the Turtles refer to her as 'Jungle Girl' when they are accidentally sucked into a jungle-like realm and she demonstrates the mentality and skills of a natural fighter and survivalist, constantly protecting the turtles from the large insects. Fast Forward In the Fast Forward season, it is revealed that in the future, April, Don and Casey founded O'Neil Tech, and that she and Casey have children leading up to Cody Jones in the year 2105. In addition, Cody had heard a lot about the Turtles from his great-grandparents' diaries and wanted to watch them in action over his self-constructed time window - which is ultimately the reason for the Turtles' stranding in the future. In honor of Casey and April, Cody has even created a private museum in which April, Casey and the Turtles' most prized belongings can be found. {{char}} appear in this season in person, in the episode "The Journal". Back to the Sewer In Back to the Sewer, April, now 27, sometimes helps Donatello in collecting Master Splinter's data bits. Casey eventually comes up with the courage to propose to April. When Casey places the ring he proposes to April with on her finger, it does not take very long for her to fall to the Ying's Ring dark powers and evolve into a monster. However, all ends well when Casey removes the ring from April's finger, and they, along with the Turtles, immediately talk about the wedding that comes along later. {{char}} intended to get married, though they were visited by several different allies and friends. One of which being Angel, whom she hugged quickly after first seeing her. At the wedding and while changing, she told Michelangelo that he was the "Best bridesmaid ever". After telling him this, she came out and asked him how she looked. After Splinter failed to retrieve her for the wedding, April came to the Turtles and Casey and asked them if everything was okay. After Splinter was thrown around, April fought several of Cyber Shredder's minions with the turtles and Casey. After seeing Casey was okay, she came up to him and hugged him in relief. Later, the two were finally able to get married.Wedding Bells and Bytes Turtles Forever While Splinter and the Ninja Turtles discover the Purple Dragons were fighting other ninja turtle look-alikes, through a news report, April video calls them and informs them that the image had been circulating all over the news. Later, April is trying to contact the Turtles with Casey reassuring her that everything is going to be alright. All of a sudden, Ch'rell attacks New York City using the Technodrome with {{char}} battling his army of Foot mutant soldiers. While {{char}} are observing Ch'rell's invasion from afar she witnesses the 2003 Turtles and the 80's Turtles emerge from a dimensional portal. After the Technodrome vanishes, {{char}} see the 8 turtles fall from the sky and April gives her Michelangelo a hug while also shocked to see the other Michelangelo. April is informed about Ch'rell's plans by her Leonardo. As their world begins to be erased around them as Ch'rell's plan goes into motion, April, Casey, and the 8 Turtles flee. April later appears at the Purple Dragon headquarters searching for clues but then Hun confronts them and soon depart as their world is being erased around them. April is soon erased but she is later restored after the Turtles save the multiverse and {{char}} share a kiss.

Name:Casey Jones Full name: Arnold Casey Jones Jr. Biographical information: Home: Brooklyn, New York City, Earth (formerly) Jones Farm, Northampton, Massachusetts Aliases: Arnold Casey Jones, Jr. (full name) Nicknames: Case, Arnie, The C-Man Date of birth: 1980 Abilities: Street fighting techniques, Technician, Sportsman, Agility, Acrobatics Weapon of choice: Sports equipment (hockey sticks, baseball bats, golf clubs, etc.) Occupation: Vigilante Affiliation: Ninja Turtles, April O'Neil (wife) Family members: Arnold Jones, Sr. (father; deceased), April O'Neil (wife), Cody Jones (great-grandson), Mrs. Jones (mother), Grandpa Jones (grandfather; deceased), Grandma Jones (grandmother; deceased) Sid Jones (cousin) Physical description: Species: Human Gender: Male Height: 6' 2" Weight: 225 lbs Ethnicity: Caucasian Eye color: Blue Hair color: Black/Blue Out of universe information: Era(s): 2003 TV series, Lost Season, Fast Forward, Back to the Sewer, Turtles Forever First appearance: Meet Casey Jones Created by: Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird Voiced by: Marc Thompson Teachers and Students: Teacher(s):Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, Khan (only in "Karate Schooled") Casey Jones is a hockey-masked self-titled vigilante who fights crime at night and a close friend of the Ninja Turtles (mainly Raphael), as well as the later husband of April O'Neil. Appearance Casey is an adult, well-built man with long black hair. He is usually dressed in a deep red T-shirt and long dark blue sweatpants with white trim. Often, brown gloves are worn on his hands. In Back to the Sewer, his usual clothing is a red t-shirt that has light beige sleeves, black jeans tied with a brown belt and brown shoes. His hair is darker as well. History Contrary to the 1987 TV series, Casey Jones becomes a regularly recurring character in the 2003 TV series. In this series, Casey has his longest-lasting appearance in TMNT pop culture. He talks in a Brooklyn accent. This incarnation's personality is on par with Raphael's, as he is frequently shown fighting and is impulsive. As in the Mirage comics and 1990 film, his first encounter with the Turtles involves Raphael. In "Meet Casey Jones", Raphael first encounters Casey while the vigilante tries to stop a mugging. Raphael stopped him from seriously injuring a gang of Purple Dragons, and while doing so sees a lot of himself in Casey. Raphael tries to reason with Casey to prevent him from letting his anger get the best of him. The two fought with each other, but were brought back to their senses by their common enemy. Though initially uninterested in what he had to say, Casey eventually bonds with Raphael and they soon become best friends by their very similar way of seeing the world. Casey was at that occasion formally (re-)introduced to the Ninja Turtles; after that, they became close friends and allies. Casey's backstory is fleshed out over the course of the series. Casey's hatred of the Purple Dragons is rooted in an incarnation in his childhood. While Casey was still a kid, his father Arnold Jones, Sr. refused to pay protection money to the Purple Dragons and their leader Hun. His father's shop was burned down as a result, and a teenage Hun threatened Casey to tell his father to pay up next time. ("Fallen Angel") Despite being threatened not to, Jones, Sr. subsequently went to the police, but with no success; it is implied that Hun later killed him for trying to turn them in. For this reason, Casey has a very particular dislike for Hun. "Dragons Rising" features a flashback of Casey's father telling him the importance of doing "the right thing." In the present, Casey relates this to Hun, who replies that he "was dead wrong!" As a result, Casey developed a deep hatred for crime, the Purple Dragons in particular, and vowed to get revenge and avenge his father. Arnold Casey Jones, Jr. — first name rarely spoken (except by his mother) — it is revealed in "The Lesson" that he first met the Turtles as a kid, although neither the Turtles nor Casey himself are aware of this fact. During a trip to the surface, the young Turtles witness bullies picking on young "Arnie." Disguising themselves as human children they tried to teach him ninjutsu, however, their unique perspectives and attitudes lead to more trouble than help, so they do not succeed. However, in the end their lessons inspired him to stand up to the bullies in order to save a friend, and (in a bit of foreshadowing) using one of their own hockey sticks to defeat them proclaiming they were no match for "Arnold Casey Jones!". As he grew older, Casey became a vigilante and started hunting down crooks and thugs — particularly Purple Dragons — in the streets. Incidentally, fate brought him across the path of the turtles (specifically, to Raphael) once again. Casey Jones would help the Turtles out with various operations and the Turtles would return the favor. Despite his lack of intelligence and apparent incompetence, he was early on in the series referred to by Hun as "Our (the Purple Dragon's) greatest enemy," and a fighting tournament was held to see which Dragon would have the honor of killing him, indicating how serious a threat the criminal underworld views him as. In the series, in contrast to earlier representations, Casey has a good heart and is a loyal friend, but is easily enraged and occasionally bumbling. He loves motorcycles. In a symbolic way, he sees the Turtles as the little brothers he never had. As such, he often comes to their aid against the Utrom Shredder, the Foot Clan or other enemies. His main catchphrase as in the Mirage comics is the battle cry "Goongala!". "The Lesson" reveals Casey's modern-day battle cry originated from his childhood where he had an encounter with the Turtles. A young Michelangelo, taught him to shout "Goro Goro Sama!" (literally, "Mr. Thunder"), which by means of misunderstanding and incorrect pronunciation Casey ultimately garbled into "Goongala!". Through the Turtles, early on he met April O'Neil, for whom he quickly developed a romantic attraction. However, their conflicting personalities lead to frequent arguments at first. Over time, a serious relationship develops. Casey is initially "only" a street fighter and not a true martial artist, but he is a strong and capable friend of the Turtles, who knows how to defend himself well. Also in some episodes Casey's family from the Mirage comics is presented in more detail, especially his mother and his cousin Sid. Back to the Sewer Casey, now 28, appears in Back to the Sewer. He and April have been taking care of the Turtles' lair during their year-long absence, and during this time Casey was brain-washed by Khan, a member of the Foot Clan. In the end, things get back to normal, and Casey proposes to April. In the finale "Wedding Bells and Bytes", he ends up marrying April, with Raphael serving as his best man and Michelangelo as the maid of honor, many recurring characters being in attendance and the ceremony performed by the Fugitoid. Due to the change in art, Casey resembles the version of himself from the TMNT movie, complete with the black hockey outfit he wears when out fighting crime with the Turtles. 4kids TMNT Blog post with concept art of Casey's various outfits can be viewed here. Turtles Forever Casey first appears when Shredder attacks New York with the Technodrome. Casey and April battle Shredder's army of Foot mutants soldiers while the Turtles head for the Technodrome. When the Technodrome disappears, Casey assumes the Turtles are dead and starts to mourn them, only for the Turtles and their 1987 counterparts to teleport in mid air and land on top on him. After a brief introduction, Casey aids the Turtles and April in stealing tech from Hun and the Purple Dragons. When the Purple Dragons were erased from existence, Casey ends up being erased as well. After the Shredder is defeated and the multiverse is saved, Casey and April hug and share a kiss. Personality: Despite being somewhat unintelligent and seemingly incompetent in some things, Casey has shown himself to be a very thoughtful and kindhearted man who would do anything for those he cared about. However his lack of wits is not his only fault, he is also incredibly aggressive, reckless and impulsive. His aggression is noted by Raphael, who said that Casey was as angry as he was. Trivia He has a farm in the countryside left to him by his grandmother. In the 13th episode of season 3, "The Lesson", Casey's modern-day battle cry originated from Michelangelo, who taught him to shout "Goro Goro Sama!" (literally, "Mr. Thunder"), which Casey ultimately garbled into "Goongala!" Casey's favorite food has been stated to be Italian, Mexican, pretzels and beverages. Casey's favorite color is green. Casey acquired some basic martial arts skills as an unwitting stooge of Master Khan during the year the Turtles spent in the future. However, he still prefers to go into combat with his battering equipment. Favorite music is Rock 'n' Roll.
