Okay, I'm very excited about this story, and any reviews, whether they be good or bad, are more than welcome with me. Very, VERY special thanks to kisa sohma cookie, for without her this story would not be here. Yes, this story is loosely base off of kisa sohma cookie's story Who Cares What You Are, I highly recommend reading it!

Disclaimer: I don't own TMNT, not even in my dreams. (although I did have this one dream... jk, I'm kidding ^^) I'm not going to claim ownership to my OCs either, mostly because they have slight connections to Tawni, Cam, Ella and Beccy. (Characters from WCWYA)

Now I'm going to give you the bios for our four heroines, mostly because it's easier for me to have these up here to introduce my OCs and give you guys a snapshot of what they look like.

Name: Michelle Ann Lang

Age: 15, 2 days older than the twins

Height: 5'4"

Hair: shoulder length, bright gold and tied up on one side with brown ribbon

Eyes: dark mahogany brown and she wears huge, round glasses that are always falling off and getting broken

Normal Outfit: a camouflage tank top and brown jeans, military dog tags on a chain around her neck, black combat boots and camouflage wristbands and a few gold bangles around her wrists

Nicknames: Goldy, MA, or Michy. but she hates being called Michy Ann

Animal form: lioness

Weapon of choice: twin kusari fundo (a kusari fundo is a length of chain with a weight attached to the end. MA carries two of them)

Personality/ other facts: Michelle Ann is the so-called leader of the group and she's incredibly headstrong. Her incredibly stubborn nature makes her both very perseverant but also hard to work with. She's highly maternal to the other girls and considers them equal parts sisters and daughters. Michelle Ann practices jujitsu at a local dojo, she likes to write, and she treasures books.

Name: Cyrene Shireem (Sy-reen Sheer-reem)

Age: 15

Height: 5'1"

Hair: waistlength, naturally ice blue with white highlights, held in two long braids with a black headband

Eyes: naturally dark pink and pupiless, the same as her twin sister Kotora

Normal Outfit: a pink short sleeve blouse, a blue pleated skirt, a thick brown belt around her waist, long white stockings and black Mary Janes

Nicknames: C,y or Blue because of her hair

Animal form: a white seal (when she's in seal form, she looks like the Dewgong Pokemon ^^)

Weapon of choice: kunai (small diamond shaped throwing daggers)

Personality/ other facts: Cyrene is the shy voice of reason of the group, always having to break up fights her twin sister Kotora gets into with Michelle Ann, Ginger, and others. It takes her a while to warm up to people, but once she does you find that she's a very sweet, polite young lady. Cyrene's passion is dancing, but she's usually too timid to dance in front of other people

Name: Kotora Shireem (Ko-tor-ruh Sheer-reem)

Age: 15

Height: 5'11"

Hair: naturally blue, very straight and rather long, and she dyed a chunk of her bangs blood red.

Eyes: dark pink and pupiless, just like Cyrene. She sometimes wears a pair of shades to hide them

Normal Outfit: a close-fitting red muscle shirt, a beaten black leather jacket, ripped grey jeans tucked into black, knee-high boots and fingerless red gloves

Nicknames: Koko, Tor, Ko, Torie, Koto, Amazon (because she's so tall, a full 10 inches above her twin) or Ms. Grouchy Pants, although she's only called that by Ginger

Animal form: a red tailed fox

Weapon of choice: a kyoketsu shoge (a blade that's attatched to a length of chain, and the chain is fastened to a steel ring)

Personality/ other facts: Kotora is, in a word, a hothead- a loose cannon. She's a lost cause when it comes to her temper, but that also makes her her makeshift family's fiercest protector. Kotora's always picking fights with people, even her roommates. The only person she doesn't pick fights with is her twin sister Cyrene, whom she's incredibly protective of and loves dearly. She kick boxes, and she really loves music. Kotora plays piano very well, and she has beautiful singing voice, although she doesn't use it very often.

Name: Ginger Stintson

Age: 15, 2 days younger than the twins

Height: 4'8"

Hair: short, barely below her ears, with thick bangs that fall in her face in a very boyish hair cut. Her hair is a reddish-copper color, ergo her name. She often wears a baseball cap over it or a lavender headband.

Eyes: a distorted bluish-green

Normal Outfit: an oversized yellow t-shirt, black suspenders, creased lavender shorts, and yellow converse sneakers

Nicknames: Gin, Ginny, Red, Brightside, Shorty, Shrimp, or Half-pint (the last three because of her very short stature)

Animal form: dragonfly

Weapon of choice: a single katana

Personality/ other facts: Ginger tries her best to be serious, but it's hard for her to stay focused because she's always got so much energy. The end result is that she's very hyper and hard to manage. All she really wants is to have a good time. Ginger is very unpredictable, and her excitability often gets on the nerves of her roommates, mostly Kotora's or Michelle Ann's. Ginger loves to cook and bake, she's insanely smart when she has enough seriousness to focus, and she's highly skilled at kendo, which she teaches at a nearby dojo. Ginger really loves flowers and gardening, and she really wants to study botany when she's older.

Okay, so there are the bios for the main four heroines: Michelle Ann, Cyrene, Kotora, and Ginger! I'll definitely have the first chapter up by the end of the week!

Wish me luck!
