Alopex (TMNT 2012)

Alopex is a minor antagonist-turned-minor protagonist in the 2012 incarnation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. She is a mutant ninja fox, former assassin, the sister of Tiger Claw, and ally of the Ninja Turtles.
She was voiced by Minae Noji.
==History==
When Alopex was a young human girl in her small village, she and her brother Takeshi (who would one day be known as Tiger Claw) were playing in a playground when they came across a Kraang portal which they decided to enter, believing it to be a magic door. Afterwards, the Kraang mutated and experimented on them. After many months of hardships, they escaped together through a portal back to Earth. Believing that they were monsters now, they fled their home and found refuge in a circus sideshow, but felt their skills were much too valuable for that and eventually became top-level assassins in the criminal underworld, who were notorious and feared. Overtime, Alopex manifested a personal vendetta against Takeshi, blaming him for ruining her life due to her mutation, raising her in the assassin life, and bringing about a yet unnamed fate to their parents. This led her to the point where one day Alopex turned on Takeshi, attempting to kill him, and the two savagely fought in a lethal duel. The fight resulted in Alopex cutting off Tiger Claw's tail with her sword, taking it as a trophy, and escaping, but also being severely wounded in the process. Although she escaped, Tiger Claw initially believed that her wounds would be too grave for her to survive. However, as he learned later on, he was wrong, and she now wears his tail around her waist as a belt, a memento, and trophy to remind her of what he put her through.
==Personality==
When she was a girl, Alopex seemed to be in good terms with her brother and enjoyed life, however the moment they got mutated, she and Takeshi had nothing but pain and suffering because the Kraang made experiments on them and after they escaped they had no choice but to abandon everything they once knew.
It is unknown if she liked working at the circus, but it is clear that she had deep regrets when she became an assassin for doing horrible things to good people, presumably including her parents, while Tiger Claw embraced their new ruthless and violent lifestyle, Alopex blamed her brother for forcing her to become like this instead of having a normal life.
At first, she was more than determined to kill Tiger claw no matter what, and she even used the cursed blades of vengeance on Casey to prove her point and refused to remove the curse before killing her brother, but Leo gave her a speech of how revenge is consuming her and destroying everyone around her, with that argument, Alopex realizes that she would be trapped in a endless cycle of pain and she would be no better than Takeshi if she killed him. Just as she had the chance to cut his head off, she warned him that she will spare him in exchange of him quitting his shady business, and just as she gave Takeshi her warning, he took the chance to shoot her in the back but she dodged the bullet and cut his arm, then she told him to never forget that she could have killed him for betraying her trust.
==Powers and Abilities==
*Superhuman Speed: Alopex's primary and most noticeable skill is the ability to move her body at super speeds. She is able to outrun speeding vehicles, see things on a slow motion-like plane, and catch, redirect, and literally dodge bullets. In her initial appearance, she ran so fast that Leonardo mistook her for a missile when she showed up on the Party Wagon's scanner, and even after she passed him he still couldn't get a good look at who or what she was and could only identify her as a "fast moving object". This speed of motion can be channeled through any singular part of her body as well, including her arms, hands, legs, and feet.
*Superhuman reflexes
*Master Martial Artist
*Sixth Sense: Alopex has been shown to detect when Tiger Claw is near even when he is nowhere in sight or earshot. She can even see brief visions of what he is doing at her current moment.
==Quotes==
==Trivia==
*Alopex was originally created in 2011 for the TMNT IDW Comics, making her the only character from the more recent comics to be adapted to the 2012 series. While her role in the comics is similar, one notable difference is that in the comics Alopex was depicted as an artic white fox instead of a red fox.
