April O'Neil is the wife of the late Casey Jones I, mother of Casey Marie Jones and ally of the Ninja Turtles.
History[]
At some point, April met the turtles and befriended them, eventually meeting Casey Jones.
Not long after the turtles defeated the Shredder and made a truce with the Foot Clan, something she was against, Casey proposed to April, who accepted and invited Splinter and the turtles to celebrate. Unfortunately, it turned into a disaster when they came in, carrying a wounded Splinter before deciding to call a doctor friend of theirs. During that time, Raphael ran out of the apartment, believing Splinter was dead, which led to him attacking Karai at the cost of his life and leaving her in a coma.First to Fall
Several years later, Karai's son and successor, Oroku Hiroto, declared war on the Hamato Clan in retaliation. During the battle, Michelangelo was tasked with getting April and Fugitoid to shelter, but an explosion separated her from him, which costed her her left arm and right leg, as well as the lives of Leonardo and her husband, Casey. Sometime later, April was rescued and was put through multiple therapies to recover from the trauma as well as discovering she was pregnant with a girl, whom she gave birth to, named her after her husband, and moved into the turtles' old lair.Fight or Flight
Many years later, Casey Marie found a mutant turtle suffering from internal injuries after a failed infiltration in Hiroto's tower and brought him to April, who nursed him back to health, discovering it was Mikey.Wish for Death

Personality[]
April was very close to the Turtles, Splinter, Casey and her friends. Their loss had affected her a lot, overcoming this difficult ordeal a long physical and mental therapy. The fact of having learned this, possibly, gave her the strength to move forward for those she loves and her baby. Especially for a better and free future.
She is smart and brave and also a good mother. After Hiroto conquered New York, she had to hide to stay alive with her daughter. April played the role of mother and father to educate her only daughter in safety and instill good worth in her. She is fairly close to her friends and her husband.
April had the courage to continue the fight alongside the rebels for several years. She was well resolved to see that justice is done and to restore freedom to all those who have lost it.

- Melee skill: April likely received training from Master Splinter and the Turtles and is skilled in hand-to-hand combat. She was able to throw a punch hard enough to stagger Baxter Stockman, even with his robotic enhancements.
- Longevity: Due to her blood being irradiated with mutagen due to exposure from Splinter and the Turtles, April has a longer lifespan than a normal human. Like Michelangelo, whose mutation increased his longevity and is claimed to be one hundred years, April only looks as if she was in her late fifties.
