Some TMNT stuff really isn't for little kids. |
Sheena Murphy is a human-born mutant pig and the lead singer of the mutant band After the Bomb and Jennika's girlfriend.
History[]
Sheena was first shown performing with her band when the Splinter Clan first visited Kennel Klub as a group. Afterwards, Sheena chatted with Jenny, and Jenny offered to buy Sheena a drink.
Sheena was later seen attending martial arts classes at the Splinter Dōjō. TMNT #105
Sheena continued to cultivate a close relationship with Jenny and spent a lot of time with her, even encouraging her to start her own band. She also convinced Jenny to accompany her to a Mutant support group meeting.
Eventually, Jenny decided it would probably be better to give up her dream of starting a band, feeling the pressures of her Splinter Clan leadership position and all of her duties outweighing that project's importance. After discussing this with Sheena, the two went to martial arts class, and Sheena's wig accidentally fell off when attempting a palm strike. Sheena ran off in embarrassment and Jenny ran after her to console her. A grateful Sheena kissed Jenny on the mouth, surprising the latter. TMNT #113
After the battle of the bands, Sheena and Jennika officially became a couple.TMNT #117
Under the radar of the Splinter Clan and Jennika, Sheena attends a Mutant Town fight club with Casey, which Leonardo finds out about and is coaxed into competing in. TMNT #123

She is rescued by Donatello, Alopex, and Venus when they escape, and reunited with Jennika. Afterward, she hides her trauma from her captivity from her girlfriend.
Physical appearance[]
As a mutant, Sheena is a pink pig with her body structure being a little chubby. Due to not having real hair, she wears two different types of wigs, one longer and one shorter, but both being hot pink in color. Sheena also has many tattoos on her body: one saying "After The Bomb" on her chest; one resembling a skeleton arm on her right arm; and one resembling an armband made of bones on her left arm. Sheena also wears some piercings on her two ears.
Trivia[]
- Although the Ramones had a 1977 song titled Sheena Is a Punk Rocker, creator Sophie Campbell has stated that she had never heard of the song prior to the character's creation.[1]
- Before Sheena was revealed to be bald and always wearing wigs, the story had already hinted at her at least sometimes wearing some sort of artificial hair by virtue of her hair appearing so much longer while performing on stage than in most of her other appearances.
