Purpose
This is a question I hope someone positive will answer: what is or would be Venus' purpose in TMNT or in the family? For example Leo's purpose in TMNT is being the leader of the team, as well as the "best ninja" and his purpose in the family is being the responsible older brother who leads and looks after his younger siblings and is willing to do anything to keep them safe. Raph's purpose in TMNT is being the muscle of the team, as well as its rebel and his purpose in the family is being its gaurdian and a protective brother showing tough, but caring love. Mikey's purpose in TMNT is being the comic of the team, as well as its optimist and his purpose in the family is being the laid-back younger brother who hardly shows worry and will joke at almost every given turn. Don's purpose in TMNT being the brains of the team, as well as its inventor and his purpose in the family is being its personal "Mr. Fix-it" repairing and bulding things that can be useful to him and his siblings. So I think if Venus has or were to have a purpose I think its this: Venus' purpose in TMNT is the peacekeeper of team, as well as its best fighter and her purpose in the family is being the caring and sweet sister who is a force to be reckoned with, but prefers peace over violence. What do you think?

Maybe Venus could serve as the moral compass?

I agree, I think Venus can definitly tell what is right and what is wrong.

Representation
What does Venus represent in terms of traits or characters? For example Leo represents honor, order and loyalty. Raph represents protection, confidence and passion. Mikey represents comedy, joy and youth. Don represents imagination, wisdom and compassion. My guess for Venus is this: Venus represents peace, love and beauty. What do you think?

Personality
This topic is about Venus' personality, what we know and like about it, and, if possible, how it can be changed. As it was shown in the Next Mutation, her personality is similar to that of a child, as she was raised in China and therefore has no knowledge of New York or it's cultural aspects. She is also shown to be quite naive about many of the things her brothers know and at times is confused about their activities. When it comes to fighting or sparring Venus becomes more competitive, but is the least competitive against Raph as she defeats him practically all the time. She is, however, quite sporty since she battles with honor and fairness, but only with her family and allies. Her personality is simply this: Venus is childish when having fun and possesses a cute, innocent child-like persona and when fighting her enemies she loses her child-like persona and becomes more serious. She tries to be mature when her brothers act up, but can have a habit of having pointless bickering with rivals like Aska. She cares very deeply for her family and detests the violence and fued within her family. When a "brother fight" starts Venus is the one who ends it. She is also quite stubborn about her brothers helping or saving her as she claims that she does not want to rescued especially to Raph who calls her naïve, Venus dislikes her brothers treating her like a delicate flower that needs to be protected. I like her cute and child-like innocence and her naitivity especially when she plays sports. If I were to change her personality I really wouldn't to be honest because I like her just the way she is, but I think she would be more of a spunky mother figure to her brothers in the 2k3 series and in the movies and unlike most other girls Venus is a bit tomboyish because of how much time she spends with her family as all of them are men, but still possesses girly and somewhat womanly traits. What are your thoughts? Feel free to respond.

Ideas
This topic is about other ideas for Venus' origin or role in TMNT, IF and only if she was not a part of the Turtles team in the first place. For instance an artist on deviantart had come up with an origin for Venus as an anti-hero who fights with or alongside the turtles depending on her goal, another made her as a deadly assassin or villain who was taken and works for one of the turtles most difficult enemies like Bishop(think Karai working for the Shredder), others made her as a mutated creation of a powerful villain raised and trained to kill her enemies and is partnered up with Slash, and others insist on keeping her as the turtles long lost sister who the turtles try to rescue. Also, just like how it was originally intended in the Next Mutation, if the turtles were not blood related Venus would become one of the guys' love interest and start a relationship one of them mainly because she is a female mutant turtle. Others decide to make her as a mystic warrior who allies with the turtles from time to time and others suggest that she can be a ninja warrior from the same world as Miyamoto Usagi, not as a mutant, but as natural born anthropomorphic girl turtle who becomes fast friends with the turtles when they enter the Battle Nexus. Of course many fans insist to make Venus as the Turtles only sister who has been with her brothers since they were born and mutated and were also found and raised by Master Splinter when they were babies and all five were trained by him in the art of ninjutsu, while the boys were named after the Renaissance artisans, she was named after an ancient Greek statue to symbolize Venus' beauty, like her brothers she was given her own signature weapons, in my case a pair of tessens and all the events and battles the turtles were in she was in as well. If you have an idea for her origin then please share, if not then forever hold your peace...er, or piece.

Potential
Here in this topic it discusses Venus' true potential in TMNT if she was still with the turtles. Many fans have been disappointed that she was apparently scrapped from the franchise, but I am not going to repeat the same thing twice since every fan already knows about her. Venus de Milo has so much potential to be a great TMNT character as many great things can be done with her that was already done with her brothers. Granted the only show she appeared in was not all that good by some fans, but it was not her fault, her portrayal in the show was a little messed up, like most other characters. For instance: they made Venus as a Shinobi, which in this rendition was a mystic shaman specializing in almost all fields of magic and chi energy, which was a major controversy by fans since the word "shinobi" is the original name for "ninja". She also made many mistakes when she is with the turtles like when she fails to do her spells correctly and when she says many incorrect comments and wits, having the guys correct her almost always. It should also be noted that they also made the turtles not blood related specifically to have Venus start a relationship with one of them which was possibly the reason why the guys were all attracted to her when they first met esspecially Mikey who flirts with her throughout the course of the series and Venus admits that she loves her family, more specifically her brothers. The Next Mutation takes place about 3 years after the initial date of TMNT which explains why Leo, Raph, Don, Mikey and Venus are all 18 years of age. And because she was raised by a Chinese shaman in Shanghai, China, Venus possesses a Chinese accent. She had no primary weapon of her own except for these metal spheres called "kai mi" which she uses for throwing and distractions similar to shurikens. A few fans thought that Venus was something of a burden to the turtles who had changed their story completely and caused the show's cancelation, this however is not true since she had nothing to do with it and Eastman co-created her and intended on adding her to the group permanently, but Laird outspokenly said otherwise. Venus was never a burden to anyone and deserves a second chance. She has true potential to be a part of TMNT and, hey come on, you got to admit the turtles need a girl in their team and I don't mean a human girl like April, no, they need a female mutant turtle like the one and only Venus de Milo. She has potential, thats all I have to say at this point, I hope you all agree and thank you for your time.

Favorite Turtle
I am not afraid to say that Venus is my favorite turtle when asked. I dont remember the show much from when i was little, and never got to see the series again while growing up. But I remember I was really fond of her, and intend to stay faithful to her as a fan. Ixbran (talk) 01:55, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
