April O'Neil (Rise of the TMNT)

In Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, April O'Neil is the ' first human ally.

Physical Appearance
April O'Neil is an African-American teenage girl with black eyes (unlike her previous incarnations she is African-American, Most April's are white), thick eyelashes and curly burgundy hair with bangs worn in two high buns. She often wears a pair of red cat-eye glasses with yellow lenses.

April wears a black choker around her neck, a long yellow t-shirt and a green sweatshirt with quarter sleeves, pale green trim and stripes, single button, and a "S" like logo over her heart and backside of the sweatshirt. She also wears dark navy blue leggings and yellow sneakers.

Personality
April is very upbeat, sassy and much more loud than her previous incarnations. She is also aggressive and quick to jump into action, showing that she also has more spunk, confidence and spirit.

April is shown to be incredibly brave as seen in "The Gumbus" when she was enjoying the whole fiasco in the Stock 'n' Shop while Mikey and Leo were freaking out. In "War and Pizza", April is very determined and would never give up as seen when she tries to get through Timmy's birthday without any disruptions.

Despite this, she can be mean-spirited as shown in "The Fast and the Furriest" when Donnie accuses her of stealing the Turtle Tank and, being annoyed by them breaking in and being accused of something she didn't do, uses a bat to get them out via window.

April is always helpful as seen when she uses her birthday wish to help Warren Stone save Hypno-Potamus. Even though she was betrayed by Warren, she is quite forgiving when she decides to save him from Baron Draxum with the help of Hypno-Potamus. April is also selfless as she decides to cut off Warren's arm which contains the gauntlet for the sake of Hypno-Potamus.
