your version of kitsune sounds really interesting! what do have so far for her character?

First off, thank you so much!! Glad to know people are intetested in my TMNT 2012 OCs!

For those who don’t know Kitsune is my TMNT 2012 OC, who is orginally from the TMNT comics, this is basically my interuptation of Kitsune in the 2012 series.

Kitsune is Shinigami’s mother and old friends/romantic partners (it’s complicated) with Splinter, frenemies with Tang Shen, and friends/”I secretly hate your guts” buddies with Shredder.

So far what I have of her is her whole backstory and her life/parenting Shinigami. I’ll try to keep it short, but basically Kitsune grew up along side Yoshi, Saki, and Shen and the four were really close, but due to Yoshi and Saki’s compitition to win Shen’s hand, Kitsune got sick of the love square bs and left (blaming Tang Shen for ruining her friendship with them all). Years later she has Shinigami and reunited with Shredder, who offers for her and her daughter to join The Foot Clan. Kitsune is a smart and a mischievous woman so she knows that Shredder just wants to use her as a pawn in his game, but she’s happy to play and make up her own rules as she goes. She also figures out from first meeting Karai that she is Yoshi’s daughter, but decides not to say anything for “It’ll be more fun for the child to figure it out on her own”.

Kitsune is a master of the dark arts, illusion, and other forms of magic. Everything Shinigami knows she learned from her mother. It’s a family tradition to know of these talents. Kitsune also has the ability to shapeshift into a fox for short periods of time, thought this trick takes up alot of her power and weakens her after she turn back into a human. Shini can do this trick too, but instead she turns into a black cat, but she can’t stay in her cat form for so long unlike her mother because she is still learning and her power isn’t that strong yet. Shini’s cat eye ball that’s attached to her chain weapon also orginally belonged to Kitsune and is a family heirloom. Even without her magic, Kitsune is a very skilled kunoichi and never afraid to play dirty in a fight.

Kitsune and Splinter’s dynamic is my personal favorite. Like I mention, her and Splinter have a complicated romantic history. In short, growing up Kitsune liked Splinter and I imagine they had a secret on and off again fling, but once Tang Shen entered the picture Splinter ignored Kitsune. Years later, Kitsune’s feelings for Splinter are gone, but that doesn’t stop her from playfully/teaslying flirting with him and getting awkward reactions out of him for her own entertainment. 

Kitsune: Yoshi~! It’s so good to see you again!

Splinter: Ki-Kitsune?! Well, uh, long time no se-

Kitsune, hugging Splinter: It’s been soooo long! You look different. Did you grow a beard? 

Splinter: ...I’m a mutant rat.

Kitsune: Hmm, I love a man with a little hair on his face~

Splinter: It’s fur!

Kitsune: Even better~  ;3

Splinter: GOD DAMMIT! NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN!

I definitely have more about Kitsune that I’d love to share someday, but I feel for now that this is a good gist and summary of her character to share right now.
