Savor the Sweetness: Fede Galizia's Cherries in a Silver Compote, 1610

[roninreverie]

Got on the "Big Mama's Assistant" / "Lost TMNT sister" bandwagon and did a whole mess of sketch-dumps!

Instead of going for a "Venus" or "Jennika" route, I made more of an OC. She is a painted turtle named "Galizia".

Being a painted turtle, she is actually very similar to Leo in design, except her stripes and shell are red and her eye markings are a white-yellow color. They are also dots instead of stripes, which mimics the 6 eyes of Big Mama.

She is named after female Renaissance artist, Fede Galizia.

While Mama and Lou Jitsu were in Italy filming for one of his movies, the couple kiss in front of one of Galizia's paintings, and wanting to remember the sentimental moment, Big Mama eventually steals (or buys, but probably steals--) it for her personal art collection, later using it to name this baby turtle who was mutated with the "late" Lou's DNA.

** It was during this trip that Splinter also learned a lot of cool names and artists that he would eventually use as names for his own sons. (Maybe? It's one of many headcanons, you know?)

Huginn and Muninn trade Big Mama this last mutant turtle they find in the wreckage when Mama came looking for her stolen champion at the end of the "Goyles Goyles Goyles" flashback. Draxum and Mama battle, but a weakened Draxum is overpowered and knocked out. Though, at the prospect of the trade, and this being her last tie to Lou, (who was presumably destroyed,) Mama accepts the deal to spare Draxum's life and raise this turtle who would quickly become her beloved daughter and right-hand assistant.

Galizia's ninpo, a golden manifestation of webs, appears at the end of "Battle Nexus New York" when she portals Big Mama to safety before trying to fight Cassandra and the Shredder herself.

Getting the ring back for her mother, as well as recovering Shadowfiend gives her the perfect chance to finally show her mother that she is the best at her disposal, something she strives to prove, despite her high position and constant praise.

** I used a lot of Gwen Stacy Spiderwoman references for her fighting style, and stuck to just giving her shuriken and kunai, though I imagine she is well versed in many different weapons.

Her ego takes a hit as she ultimately loses the battle before escaping and allowing Cass and Shredder to break Big Mama's hotel skyscraper in two and retreating into the sky.

The loss, failure, and feeling like she let her mother down, humbles her and later fuels her desire to train with this supposed "other family" of hers who not only defeated the Shredder at his peak strength, but also are the only ones in the world who can help her hone her new Ninpo powers.

This leads her to train with Splinter and her brothers, and family hijinks ensue as everyone gets used to one another.

---

Might do more with her if people end up liking this, but mostly just wanted to get these ideas off my chest.

Thanks for reading all that if you did! ❤
