No offense guys, but how come with every fifth rottmnt turtle design, they all look like copies of Mikey?
Each turtle has a specific shape. Raph is a square, Leo is a triangle, Donnie is a rectangle, and Mikey is a circle. We don't need two circles. What if we used a diamond, or oval instead?
We have the big strong guy, the cute little guy, and the twins who are the same size. What if we added a long and lanky turtle. It would be different, but still go along with the theme
Like, older sister. Older than Mikey, Leo, and Donnie, but younger than Raph.
Shorter than Raph, but taller than Leo, Mikey, and Donnie.
Diamonds are her general shape, and her life color is like Yellow or light blue
I think I'm on to something here...
I should draw this...

The Fifth Turtle Prologue
49’s mouth fell open at the sight of a shining… ghost lady? The ghost was wearing what looked like clothes from Japan. 49 had seen some in her Sensei’s dojo. Don’t think about him! She mentally kicked herself.
The ghost lit up the room as she looked at 49 with kind eyes. The turtle had many questions, but was afraid to speak out loud in case this was a trick and Bishop was listening. 49 wasn’t even sure if she could speak. After all, she hadn’t spoken since Bishop took her.
“Do not worry,” Ghost Lady whispered softly, a tender look in her gaze. “I will not hurt you. However, I have much to tell you…”
(This is basically a little sister au)
49 was awakened by a light, yet warm, touch. She jerked sideways and tried to sit up, her arms burning with the effort. 49 half-closed her eyes because of the bright green light in front of her.
She shivered. Was this another one of Bishop’s horrible experiments? She heard a soft murmuring, “Oh my child…” Resisting the urge to scratch at her scars, her eyes adjusted to the green glow.

Three months later…
Donnie’s phone rang as he was working on writing SHELLDON’s code in his lab. He rubbed his eyes, tired after staring at the screen, and reached for his phone. “You are conversing with Donatello,” he answered, holding back a yawn.
“DONNIE!!!” April shouted from the other end. “Turn on the news!” Donnie flinched, feeling irritated. “Do you have to scream,” he grumbled, swiveling around and getting up from his seat.
“Just do it,” April commanded. “Trust me, and HURRY.” Donnie sighed, heading towards the living room. “I’m hurrying.”
“No time for sarcasm, D,” she shouted. “Yeeeesh, no need to yell, April,” Donnie quipped back. He could practically hear her rolling her eyes.
Donnie entered the room, spotting Leo quietly watching Jupiter Jim on the couch. Papa must still be asleep, he mused. No surprise, it’s four in the morning.
He snatched the remote and shut off the movie, earning a protest from his blue-masked brother. “Hey! I was watching that.” Leo scrambled towards him. “Give it back!”
Donnie ignored him, switching to the news channel. “April called, rudely interrupting me, might I add, and said to turn on the news so I’m just doing what she said. Unlike you’d like to argue with her, my dear brother.” Donnie waved the phone around. Leo shot him a glare followed by a shrug. “I don’t see the problem.”
“That’s what I thought,” Donnie said, sitting down beside his twin. He turned up the volume just as Raph stomped into the room, holding a sleepy, retracted Mikey. “It is four o’clock in the morning! I hope you have a good explanation for this argument.”
Leo stuck his tongue out at Raph as Mikey slowly poked his head out his shell. “Oh come on we weren’t that loud, maybe you’re a light sleeper.”
Raph glared at Leo. “Look, I know you guys can’t sleep but can you at least let us sleep?” Leo gasped dramatically and fell off the couch.
“How dare you accuse me. Donnie started it!” Donnie rolled his eyes. “Gasp! How dare you accuse me Nardo.”
Raph let out a low grumble. “Both of you be quiet. Pops is still asleep.” Leo wouldn’t let the argument go that easily. “First of all, Donnie’s the one that stole the—”
“Ummm, guys,” Mikey interrupted, his limbs popping out of his shell. “You should look at the TV.” Everyone turned toward the screen in confusion.
The title on the screen read: Could There Be Monsters Hiding In Our City?
It showed a woman with a microphone, who was clearly a news reporter, and a man wearing a suit-lab coat hybrid looking thing, black shades, and slick black hair.
“For those just tuning in, I am here with scientist Johnathon Bishop,” the woman announced, the thick hair piled into a bun on her head bouncing. “Do you mind telling us more about your amazing discovery?”
She handed the microphone over to the man. “Thank you, Irma,” he replied, a sly smile on his face. “I am but a humble researcher, rejected by my peers at a young age. However, despite all that, I clawed my way up to the top after making a startling discovery four years ago today.”
Irma pushed up the thick, square glasses that threatened to slide from her nose. “Everyone wants to know, Mr. Bishop. What is this breakthrough you keep mentioning? We have only heard rumors so far!”
Bishop held the microphone up to his lips, a twinkle in his eyes. “I have found the most peculiar creature. A humanoid animal, sentient and sapient. A mutant, a monster, a freak.”
Irma’s eyes widened. “A monster?!” She squeaked, fear sparking in her gaze.
“Yes,” Bishop confirmed. “A monster. It is unpredictable and vicious, but don’t worry. We have contained it. It will soon be on display for scientific study and human enjoyment at the Peterman Zoo. It may be a turtle, but do not be fooled by its looks and fake docile nature.”
Donnie’s phone slipped out of his hand in shock as Bishop continued. “I don’t sugg—” Leo shut off the TV, his knuckles white from gripping the remote so hard. Not a noise was heard as everyone took in the news.
Donnie broke the silence. “Well, I guess I’ll start doing some research.”
Am I the only one that thinks Donnie sits in one of those super comfy swivel chairs that the teachers in 4-6 grade always tell you not to sit on but everyone sits in them anyway? I can also imagine him using it to spin around while stroking SHELLDON when someone enters the room, lol.

I read the last post thing of Opal and all I could think of is how akward that one dinner episode with the turtles and Draxum. Like i just imagined spinter and Opal right next to each other starting at draxum and draxum staring back and the turtles just sitting there awkwardly
THIS GIF TOOK FOREVER TO FIND
I don’t know how adamant Mikey would be in this au, I mean he watched Draxum at his worst, hurting Opal… But if Mikey asked them all, promising that Draxum had changed Opal would show up, just as reluctant as Splinter just not as vocal.
Soooooo awkward, honestly Opal’s face wouldn’t show it but they would be on the verge of having a breakdown mentally. Like time passed sure, people deserved second chances, but in that moment when the door would swing open and they would see Draxum, or a weaker version of the creator they use to serve. It would cause flashbacks. His voice when raised would definitely cause Opal to flinch, only Splinter noticing and he’d reach down and grab Opal’s hand underneath the table.
They would squeeze it tightly, trying to block out past memories. Splinter would definitely understand that struggle and wouldn’t mind if Opal held his hand the entire dinner. Mikey would probably not ask again, especially if Splinter took him to the side and explained it would probably be best to let more time pass. Some wounds are just too deep!
