Maktari

Maktari the energetic, reckless 19 year old anthropomorphic turtle. She wears bandages on her extremities, but no actual clothes, similar to the TMNT. She wears a cyan headband around her eyes, with holes poked in them to see.

Maktari was raised on cartoons, and was especially drawn to TMNT. No other cartoons had anthro main characters, and she wanted to live up to them. Maktari began doing dangerous stunts to "train" herself. She believed that she was invulnurable, since her species of turtle had a long lifespan and durable shells.

When she was 14, she accidentally lost her right arm in a training accident. She gave her brother a katana to parry, and she missed an important one. She made herself a prosthetic one after that, using scrap wood and metal parts from nearby landfills.

She learned in making the prosthetic that she has a love for engineering, and she began to study more about engineering, upgrading her prosthetic arm with a multitude of features, including (but not limited to), a loaded spear, a shuriken thrower, firecrackers, a flame vent, smoke bombs, a wakizashi and a grappling hook.

Maktari still had dreams of being a crimefighting ninja turtle, so when college applications opened for anthros, she was ecstatic and applied immediately, getting into first pick.

Maktari feels a little too relaxed at college. Back at home, she fended off illegal poachers on occasion, but here crime is uncommon. During her freetime she listens to police scanners and the news in hopes of a nearby crime.

She is deeply embarrased by her motivations for college, and does not tell people about her TMNT interest. Instead she makes up other lies about how she got into engineering, and the purpose of her addons to her prosthetic. She also does not tell many people about her crime fighting attempts, in hopes they don't see her as weird.

Her favorite food is cheese pizza.

Maktari majors in mechanical engineering.
