After seeing the season's debut today, I have high hopes for this season of TMNT!😄 And to start this chain of conversation, I think your right about what you think is going to happen. I'm just hoping that she isn't emphasized in one episode and then just becomes a minor ally like Muckman or Mondo Gecko. Especially in this series where she is Salamandrian warrior who has actual war and combat experience. No turtle ally in this series has had that prior to their first meeting of them so far, unless you want to count the back and forth shifting Karai as an ally. Because of this I think she is more inclined to join the turtles in pursuit of stopping the Triceratons. I say this because the Salamandrians are likely enemies of the Triceratons as well and those dinos may be trying to destroy their planet too. The fact that today's episode ended with the Turtles being directly in front of the Triceraton warships further emphasizes this and may explain how both groups crashed on that moon around the same time. Again though, I feel like she will or at least should be a major character in this season's "Triceraton War" saga. Her warrior background and the fact that it was revealed at Comic-con that Raphael is going to have a relationship with her gives her additional story. There were a lot of crushes, but this would be the first girlfriend of a member of the team. And I'm including April and Casey, who aren't an official couple in this series yet. Although I don't expect any kissy smoochy stuff between these two because of their nature and that's cool with me. Personally, I am very excited to see how the other turtles will react to this. I can already hear Donnie and Mikey saying "Raphael...has a girlfriend? RAPH HAS A GIRLFRIEND!?! And because the writing team thought she was worth mentioning at both comic cons covering season 4, I am looking forward to Mona's role in this season. But not seeing her in the intro worries me, but I still maintain hope.

Sorry about my essay of a comment. I just usually like to clear my head first so I get into specifics when the conversation really picks up.
