Karai

Karai (born Hamato Miwa) is a character in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, usually depicted as a high-ranking member of the Foot Clan outlaw ninja organization. In the 2012 series, she is the only child of ninjitsu master Hamato Yoshi (Splinter) and the late Tang Shen, who had tragically perished in the fire fifteen/sixteen years ago. However, it was revealed she was abducted by Oroku Saki (Shredder) and was renamed Karai, initially, the source of her drive in getting even with Hamato Yoshi for "stealing" Tang Shen from him and relentlessly works to enact his bitter vengeance on Splinter and and his four "sons."
Miwa had grown into a confident and sharp-tonged teenager who naturally believed that Splinter had murdered her mother when, in fact, it was the very man whom she knows to be her father. Upon arriving in Manhattan, New York City, New York, she encountered Leonardo, the levelheaded leader of the Ninja Turtles, whom she was interested in for his somewhat superior fighting styles in ninjitsu than his three brothers', who instantaneously became infatuated with her regardless of working for their archenemy, and tried to get her switch sides as he knew she had more potential than Shredder thinks. She informs him that she is Shredder's daughter, which shocks and disappoints him. 
== Abilities ==
* Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant & Ninjitsu: Having been trained at a young age by her "father", Miwa/Karai is quite skilled at performing different forms of hand-to-hand combat and fighting styles of ninjitsu to match those used by the Ninja Turtles, which she admires from Leonardo in particular.
* Heightened Agility, Endurance and Reflexes: She is quite agile on rooftops, and can easily doge fast projectiles such as arrows. These natural abilities are even more evolved since her unintentional mutation into a purplish-white venomous snake.
==== As a Mutant Snake ====
* Prehensile Tongue: Even in her human form, she can elongate her now forked tongue as all snakes can, from which her highly lethal toxic venom comes from. 
* Enhanced Bite: It enables her to easily inject her deadly venom and toxins inside her victim. 
* Poisons/Venom/Toxin Secretion: Since her mutation, she is capable emitting a lethal and incurable venom from her toxic fangs. It seeps through the skin of its victims in mere seconds and highly toxic in any form, even in water. It quickly causes the victims to feel numb, dizzy and be subjected to hallucinations before blacking out from weakness.
* Accelerated Regenerative Healing Factor: She can heal her injured human/snake skin by shedding it and replacing it with new skin, even if severely burned.
* Heightened Speed: She is much faster than in her true human form, capable of covering large distances in mere minutes.
* Enhanced Tail Strike: Against Tiger Claw, she had whipped her snake tail to knock him out with one strike.
