Antonia

Antonia (sometimes called Ton or Tones for short) is a papergirl, who guided Nelson on his first day. She is seen to be good friends with Nelson and is often seen with him when they are not delivering newspapers.
==History==
===Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu===
====The News Never Sleeps!====
After their boss made some announcements, Antonia was paired up to help Nelson as his first day as a paperboy in Ninjago City.
She casually hands out papers while the city is under attack by Elemental Cobras. She told Nelson to do the same, much to his confusion. They eventually watched as Samurai X fight off some of the snakes and continued their route.
During their break, Antonia informed him that Ninjago is always under attack. She then offers him a sandwich after his got hit by a fireball. She then has a pep talk with Nelson, and he was able to get around the city easier.
After delivering some papers, they see Clutch Powers fall from the sky and made sure he's not hurt. Clutch then tells them that the ninja are trapped in a pyramid before fainting and being sent to the Hospital. Antonia says he'll be fine, but Nelson convinced her they need to find help at the Monastery of Spinjitzu.
She encouraged Nelson to cross Route 23, which is a "quadruple black diamond" according to their boss. They arrived at the Monastery, and she watched as Nelson told Wu about the ninja's whereabouts. They then rode back down the mountain.
====The Message====
Antonia was riding her bike with Nelson and Leroy.
===Prime Empire Original Shorts and Prime Empire===
====Let's Dance====
Antonia was among the students learning to dance in Vlad Tutu's dance class and partnered up with Nelson.
====Would You Like to Enter Prime Empire?====
Antonia and Nelson were doing their daily routines of delivering newspapers throughout Ninjago City before fist-bumping upon completing it. Later, she went to Benny's Arcade Emporium and was present when Prime Empire interrupted every screen.
====Gayle Gossip: A Closer Look====
Antonia was lined up along with the other kids waiting to play Prime Empire.
====Game Over====
Antonia was helping a child evacuate when the Empire Dragon starts attacking Ninjago City.
===Seabound===
====Papergirl====
When their boss announced Antonia was quitting, everyone disbelieved it, until she told them she got a new job at Dairy Dragon, but only Nelson was still disappointed as she was the one who taught him about being a paperboy. She was able to convince him that he can get all the ice cream he want before coming across the Explorer's Club building, where Kai, Cole, Wu, Misako, and Ray were battling Kalmaar and the Merlopians to prevent them from taking the Storm Amulet, which she retrieves before escaping with it alongside Nelson with Kalmaar pursuing them. During the chase, Kalmaar commandeered a garbage truck, which he used to pursue them, briefly interrupted by Kai's interference before coming across a drawbridge, which they manage to jump as it was rising while the truck, with Kai and Kalmaar still inside, landed and sunk into the canal. Managing to seize from her and Nelson, Kalmaar asked some questions about her before becoming amused at being told she was a papergirl and dives into the canal to escape. Antonia then dove in to retrieve Kai for Nelson to resuscitate him before Cole, Wu and Ray show up. Inspired by being thanked for her attempt to keep the amulet away from Kalmaar, Antonia decided to stay being a papergirl.
====The Turn of the Tide====
Antonia attended the ninja's memorial they held for Nya.
===Crystalized===
====Ninjago City vs. Ninja====
Antonia was at the Ninja's trial, sitting next to Nelson.
====Crystastrophe====
Antonia teaches some paperboys how to throw a newspaper before Lloyd and Wu show up, asking about newspaper clippings with a tag on them. Antonia shows the recent one to Nelson, who says it is an address to an apartment on his paper run, owned by Vinny Folson.
====Quittin' Time!====
Nelson and Antonia spot Wu falling into the canal before the former pulls him out, and they bring him back to the warehouse, where he learns the paperboys plan on fighting back, and he demands they evacuate as well. While Wu explains his plan, Antonia remarks at how the news finally sleeps, until they help Wu save two people, making him change his mind, take leadership and proclaim everyone honorary ninja through a speech on the warehouse's radio.
====Return of the Ice Emperor====
Antonia escorts some people to the warehouse before one of them asks to see Wu.
====Safe Haven====
Antonia saves Kai, Cole, Skylor and Jake from some crystal zombies before bringing them inside the warehouse, where Jake reunites with his parents.
====An Issue of Trust====
Antonia clears some space for the ninja and observes them attempting to use Dragon Form, but fail.
====Roots====
Antonia was among the crowd and resistance fighters to cheer for the ninja's victory. She later helps rebuild the monastery.
==Appearance==
Antonia has short, dark red hair with a few black streaks swept to one side on the front and black lipstick. She wears a black top with a white lightning bolt symbol, a tan jacket with a red "X" patch on the top right, short blue shorts over black stockings, and maroon boots with black shoelaces.
From "Safe Haven" to "Roots," Antonia wore armor made of newspaper and duct tape over her clothes, as well as her helmet, riding goggles, and shoulder pads.
==Personality==
Antonia is a laid back and carefree person, who does not fear the danger that roams around Ninjago City, as she remains calm all throughout. She appears to be rather sporty and audacious in performing her stunts as shown when successfully attempting risky tricks on her bike. This is further unveiled when she was brave enough to stand up to Kalmaar and his army, alongside the Elemental Cobras. During those events however, she can be hesitant in involving herself in serious situations, wanting to avoid any trouble that could cost her, but it does not stop Antonia from doing the right thing as she continues to help out in any way she can. 
Her connection with Nelson also softens her tough exterior as displayed when giving him, her sandwich when his got burned, encouraging his self-esteem whenever he lacked confidence, and watching over his back when he gets overwhelmed by pressure and fear. On the other hand, she seems to hold some display of a toned down attitude and diffidence when first presented to others. This was seen when she didn't speak to Nelson right away the first time they met, letting him enlighten Wu of the Ninja's whereabouts instead of her, and shyly informing the Ninja about Kalmaar's trail.

*She is based on a Ninjago fan named Antonia who wrote to Brent Miller, the letter being one of her last wishes as she was ill.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpubHxY5xiU Tommy Andreasen saw Miller's video and sought to make her a new character.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHp3M9hTr0U
*Tommy Andreasen tweeted a photo of Antonia and stated she would appear in Season 11.https://twitter.com/tommyandreasen/status/1058315136451121152
**Along with the statement, he revealed that Antonia is a "street smart Ninjago City girl with a lot of moxie." This is shown when she chose to deliver newspapers instead of fleeing throughout the Elemental Cobras attack on Ninjago City, and when she stood up to Kalmaar. 
*She shares the same hairstyle as Racer Seven, originally used on a citizen in the LEGO City 60202 People Pack - Outdoor Adventures set.
