(Yes I did just make my own iteration of TMNT where their females, don’t judge me it’s food for my soul. Basically the main cast is gender swapped, including my ocs (except April, John, and Charlie) . Here’s some info:

Dee:

She/her

Softshell turtle

Dark green with metallic accents and a golden shell

Purple bandana and glasses with a ribbon tied around her waist

Donnie is a total tech genius with a love for problem solving. She’s rather awkward, but is fiercely loyal to her sisters and friends

Leona/Leo:

Loggerhead turtle

Deep brown with golden accents

She always carries her katanas around and wears a blue mask + hoodie

Leo is the lovable and strong leader who is always up for a challenge. She’s usually very charismatic, but totally head over heels for Don (Dawn in this AU).

(Shes always has to be well hydrated since she’s a sea turtle.)

Rafaela/Raph:

Snapping turtle

Earthy green scales with reddish accents

Heavily armored and one of the taller ones (Dee is still taller and has never let her live it down.) she wears a red mask (imagine Mikey’s mask from TMNT 2018, that’s pretty much what it looks like).

Raph is the hot-headed, I-don’t-care-what-you-think-Imma-do-it-anyways tomboy of the group who loves her sisters but bickers with Dee a ton

Michel/Mikey:

Green sea turtle

Bright green scales with light brown freckles

She has long, flowing ribbon tails on her orange mask and loves fashion, constantly designing turtle-style clothes.

Mikey is the happy-go lucky sister of the group, whom always brings joy to all the people around her. She has a surf-board inspired hoverboard to help her get around easier since her sisters are faster than her.

She also has to stay well hydrated.

❤️💜💙🧡

Are you stalking that ferret guy again?” Dee said, leaning on her bō staff, staring down her blue-masked sister as she leaned over the side of the building.

“What! No! I’m not stalking, I just admire him!” Leona exclaimed, flushing a darker green under her mask. Dee just chuckled, rolling her eyes. “You’re always watching him but get all nervous when he talks to you! Just talk to him.”

Leona stared at her sister like she just said that pigs were falling from the sky, and shook her head. “TALK TO HIM?” She repeated, appalled. “He probably thinks I’m some turtle freak who lives in the sewers!”

The purple-clothed turtle rolled her eyes, chuckling. “You literally just described us. We do live in the sewers, y’know?” She purred, smirking down at Leo.

Leo flushed, pouting. “Yeah, I realize that now…OH NO HE’S GONE!” She exclaimed suddenly, peering down the building trying to see Don, but he was gone. She groaned, burying her face in her flippers, “I’m never going to get him to like me, let alone notice me! I’m just a nobody…”

Dee frowned, patting Leo’s shoulder and helping her up. “Hey, don’t say that, you’re awesome!” She insisted, patting her shoulder, before pausing and sniffing the air. “I know what will cheer you up! Pizza!” She winked, picking up her short sister and slinging her over her shoulder.

Leona laughed, struggling in her sister's grasp as she jumped off the building and walked to the opening to the sewer, plopping her down and grinning. “C’mon! I’m sure Mama’s waiting for us.”

Leo nodded, feeling a bit happier, and followed her sister through the strangely pleasant smelling sewers (due to Mikey’s constant baking and her flowers). She trotted next to Dee, her mind still whirling with thoughts of Don. Finally, they arrived at the lair.

The lair was large and inviting, with Mikey’s plants growing around the entrance. Strung around the living room were Raph’s video games and boxing gloves, along Mama Splinter’s blanket.

The two walked through the lair, drawn to the kitchen by the alluring aroma of the pizza Mikey had just made. They practically floated in, and were greeted by the sight of Raph, Mama Splinter, John, and Charlie sitting at the table munching on the cheesy delicacy. 

“Oh, hey you too!” Charlie called, with mouth full of food. He swallowed, grinning at them, and his huge bat ears twitched happily side to side. “You came just in time. But where were you?” John asked, an unintentional edge to the cat yokai’s voice.

Leona chuckled softly, rubbing the back of her head. “Oh, I was just out admiring the city with Dee. It’s pretty out, right Dee?” She said, nudging Dee’s elbow. 

The turtle snapped to attention, clearing having zoned out again, and laughed way too loudly. “Yup! The vibrant colors and loud noises totally don’t give me a headache.” She said, a bite of sarcasm to her voice which drew an annoyed look from her bubbly, anti-sarcasm sister in orange.

“Enough of that!” Mikey said cheerfully. “Time for you two to eat! It was made with lots of love!” She giggled sweetly, setting down plates for them.

Dee thanked her and Leo nodded silently, sitting down and nibbling on the pizza. Dee practically inhaled it, clearly starving from a long day of fighting that annoyed Flora girl; the pesky fox yokai who never let them have a day off.

Once they all finished, Leo stood up, brushing crumbs off her hoodie, and excused herself from dinner. She trotted to her room, still thinking about the handsome ferret who had captured her eye. He was just so perfect, so handsome, so….out of her league. 

Leo groaned as she plopped on her bed, looking up at a wall with several pictures of him and a few of her sisters. She curled up into her shell, her hoodie becoming more like a blanket than an outfit as she lay there. I’m so obsessed with him, it’s insane. She thought. _I know it’s bad, that he’ll never like me back, but I can’t help it. He’s just so…perfect. _As Leona lay there, her thoughts drifted around from Don to Charlie and John, the new members, to stupid, awful Flora.

After a while, Dee tip-toed in, before plopping on the side of her bed. “Are you alright? You were so happy and then all the sudden—“ Dee made a motion with her hands, going up and then plummeting downwards.

Leo shrugged, uncurling from her shell and sitting up. “I’m…fine, I guess? I don’t know, I’m just so love sick, it’s stupid, really…” Dee shook her head, grabbing her sister’s flipper and giving it a soft squeeze. “It’s not stupid, you’re just struggling a lot right now. Not only are you dealing with this crush, but you also are having to adjust to two new members in the lair and a relentless villain.” She chuckled weakly, staring at Leo. Leona blinked away tears, nodding and hugging Dee.

“Just, don’t be so hard on yourself, okay?” Dee whispered, slowly melting into the hug. Leo nodded softly, cuddling into Dee. Everything felt so calm, so perfect…

Little did she know her world was about to be rocked. Because, as the lay there, a silent figure snuck around the lair, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
