I don't think that she actually knows that she is Splinter's daughter yet. Splinter knows because of Shredder, and now Leo knows because of Splinter. I do have to agree that she isn't very attractive in this series. The best looking Karai was in the CGI movie. Anyway, parents would not allow this sort of thing to "be a thing" because of the beastiality aspect of it. I still do not believe that they are related because the last humans that had actually touched the Turtles were the pet store owners. Splinter never touched them since they were in the glass bowl. So the Turtles would actually share DNA with whoever it was that handled them before being turned over to Splinter (Hamato Yoshi). However, the alley rat had touched Splinter so that was why he became more ratlike.
