Biography[]

After the mutants were finally able to breathe again, a member of Jerusalem's military, Private Ariella Yahuda visits the room that the mutants are in and they immediately have to hide. She has been assigned to act as April O'Neil’s guide/babysitter while she covers the conference. April isn’t thrilled about it, but has no choice. Once Ariella leaves, the Ninja Turtles and Ninjara engage in a rousing pillow fight while Splinter turns on CNN. They’re met with a horrible sight: everyone in the streets of Jerusalem has gone berserk, breaking out into mob violence over matters of faith. Making things worse, two monsters have joined the brawl: Katmandu and Al'Falqa. April and Oyuki Mashimi attempt to check the situation out, but Ariella refuses to let them leave their room. The Turtles, however, sneak out the window.

Elsewhere, Private Ariella decides that the situation has left her no choice. Transforming into a scaly, blue-skinned creature, she declares that she must call forth the powers of Golani.

Powers and abilities[]

Golani possesses many magical abilities, such as being able to fly, project energy blasts, and take the form of a blue-skinned female creature.

Trivia[]

  • In Hebrew, Golani's name is written גולני, and Ariella Yahuda's name is written אריאלה יהודה.
    • In Modern Hebrew, the name Yehuda is typically pronounced and transcribed with an E. Yahuda with two A's is more characteristic of the Arabic form of the name, which is written يهوذا. The Arabic form could more commonly be found among Jews in the Arab world before most emigrated to Israel during the 20th century.
  • Golani's tentacles on the head is inspired by the Twi'leks' lekku from Star Wars.
