## Physical Description

### Michelangelo: 2003

Mikey is the youngest turtle of a clutch found on my family's farm. For marking Mikey's shell, I used "Outrageous Orange."

### Michelangelo: 2009 - 2013

Mikey took naturally to the use of the wildly difficult nunchaku, even though he knocked himself out without them in his first week of practice and on the second week knocked Donnie out (leaving him with a chipped tooth). Though Mikey didn't have much motivation to explore the surface world, he did enjoy accompanying his brothers on their adventures. On one such outing with Raphael, Mikey was introduced to pizza after he helped a pizza delivery boy avoid some muggers and the boy told Mikey to keep the pizzas as a sign of thanks. When Mikey took a bite of this boxed food, he knew right then that his life would never be the same again.

### Michelangelo: 2013

When the demons hit the scene, these cool teen did their ninja thing. Out the sewer like laser beams, those demons got rocked by these four shell-shocked pizza kings. Telling you, you can't stop these radical dudes.

Bouncing back to the shadows, becoming myths and legends, the turtles became heroes in a half-shell fighting crime from the shadows and asking for nothing in return. But that wasn't enough for Mikey.

### Michelangelo: 2014

Mikey became obsessed with finding others like him. Not just turtles and rats, but other "mutanimals." He collected fringe newspapers from trash and would go investigating any absurd claim of mutant animals. Mikey did find a couple of actual mutanimals, even befriending some of them. He also found a stray kitten which he named Klunk and brought home.

### Michelangelo: 2016

Recently, Mikey has taken on a student of his own, his favorite pizza guy. The two went to check Mikey's mutanimal friends but found them missing, with signs of them being rounded up by the Foot Clan. Not cool!

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by TurtleGurl84*) According to Splinter, Mikey has incredible spiritual potential and has also shown incredible emotional insight. This is rarely on more display than when Mikey is befriending or attempting to befriend another of Mikey's Mighty Mutanimals. Mikey has also shown a great resistance to magical and psychic attacks in the past.

## Personality

Michelangelo is rather childish. He is quite a glutton, with a fondness for pizza. This passion and his cheerful nature makes him best friends with the pizza delivery boy Keno Andrada. Mikey also has an innate connection to "strays," having befriended a stray cat and the mutant Mondo Gecko.

Mikey's positive, compassionate, open-hearted personality is described by Splinter as a "bright light that shone unceasingly through so much darkness." This is on full display when Mikey voices positive opinions of figures like Old Hob, Rocksteady, and Bebop, characterizing them as pawns in others' games rather than evil in their own right.

Mikey is highly idealistic, and due to his love of heroes, he is very informed and passionate about that culture. He's very eager to properly join its ranks. When the family breaks out in quarrels, Mikey doesn't shy away from taking on the role of peacemaker, reminding them of what is important: each other... and pizza.
