A/N: I thought about something earlier and realized that perhaps I should put up a little cast introduction. Since I have my own original characters and not many people know or remember exactly who the character of Ninjara is. She's not mine in anyway; just one of my favorites.
These are the important characters in the story, because it is still in progress this is subject to change.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael: You should know who they are.
Venus: New turtle, appeared in the live action television show.
Ninjara: I'm not exactly sure who came up with her and I'm not really clear on many of the details on her. She first appeared in Archie Adventure Series' TMNT issue #28. She appeared almost constantly until issue #70. She was a thief in Japan in her first appearance. She became good friends with the Turtles and more than just friends with Raphael. At sometime in the series, her real name was revealed to be 'Umeko'. She was shot and left in issue #70; in which she mentioned returning to Japan. *She spent a few years in Japan with her twin brother Carius, her older brother Kaimuri and their clan, she fled Japan after Kaimuri's murder. She is determined to stop Carius from killing the Turtles. In addition, I decided to give her some psychic ability: mild telepathy, a kind of sixth sense regarding upcoming danger, rudimentary telekinesis and the ability to see things in the past exactly as they happened. She's barely learning this so it won't happen in this story very often.*

My characters
Kaimuri: (Mentioned) Ninjara's older brother; Leader of their Clan, he approved of Ninjara's friendship with the Turtles. He was murdered by Carius. Ninjara is the only witness to Kaimuri's murder; having seen it through her rudimentary psychic abilities. At his time of death, Kaimuri named Ninjara to take over leadership.
Carius: Ninjara's twin brother, he strongly disapproved and still does of Ninjara's friendship with the Turtles as well as her relationship with Raphael. He shares a weak psychic link to his twin sister. Unlike Ninjara, he possesses no real psychic ability. He shot and killed their older brother Kaimuri. With Kaimuri's death and Ninjara on the run, Leadership of the Clan falls to him. And although the entire clan is aware of Kaimuri's murder and his decision to pass leadership to Ninjara; the clan supports Carius. He has threaten to kill her and sworn to kill the Turtles.
Gensa: Ninjara's former best friend, supports Carius completely. She too disapproves of her friendship with the Turtles and Ninjara being chosen to lead. She betrayed Ninjara's trust by telling Carius the truth about Ninjara's and Raphael's relationship. She also came the closest to stopping Ninjara at the docks as she fled Japan.
