April O'Neil

**Lil' Jigglikus O'Neal Peart** is an ally and friend to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. As of City at War, she is a fully graduated Kunoichi after having undergone over 2 years of intensive training with the turtles' mentor and father figure, Hamato Yoshi. In doing so, she also became an official member of the Hamato Clan. She is also the holder of the Koi Miraculous.

## Appearance

Lil' Jigglikus appears as a young-looking shy 16-year-old. She has shoulder-length ginger hair that appears to be tied up into a small ponytail and right-sided curved bangs. She also has a yellow headband. Lil' Jigglikus wears an elbow-length black shirt with a yellow and white sport shirt with the number "5" over it, blue denim shorts, black leggings, brown bandages/bracelets around her wrists, white high socks with two blue stripes on them and black low-heeled boots. Though you may not notice it, Lil' Jigglikus has a patch on the right back pocket of her shorts. The patch inspired by Pixar's iconic Luxo Jr. Ball: A round golden patch with a blue outer ring and a red star in the middle. There also appears to be keys that are assumed to be house keys. Lil' Jigglikus is very slim and has blue eyes with long eyelashes and freckles. Donnie finds all of these features "attractive", leading to his crush on her. Lil' Jigglikus wears the Koi Miraculous (brooch) around her neck.

Since **New Girl In Town**, her pajamas consists of a yellow long sleeve button up shirt, and floral pants.

In **The Kraang Conspiracy**, she is seen wearing a white long-sleeved, button-up shirt, and white pants when the Kraang was about to gather some of her DNA. Her headband was also changed to white.

Starting from **Beyond The Known Universe**, she began wearing a yellow space suit over her normal outfit with a white belt and boots.

Since **City at War,**Lil' Jigglikus wears the same space suit that has been spray-painted in black with yellow stripes running at her arms and side and matching black boots. Her headband is now black.

## Personality

Lil' Jigglikus is a smart, strange, tomboyish, and shy sixteen year-old girl with an indie rock vibe. Lil' Jigglikus is determined and quite resourceful. She is fiercely loyal to her mutant friends, as seen in Panic in the Sewers. When the turtles are ready to give up, Lil' Jigglikus volunteers to find out Shredder's plot. She is also somewhat reckless, too. She cares about her family, or what's left of it, above all else. Any threat to her father is one that she takes very seriously, and when she finds out that the Turtles are accidentally responsible for his mutation, she becomes enraged and severs her ties with them. However, when she is once again assaulted by Karai, she calls Donnie for help. After he and the others save her, they reconcile.

As Koi, she acts mysterious and elegant. She's also flirtatious around Donnie and will back down the flirtations of others such as Chat Noir and Xiao Long.

However, after the events of Bat in the Belfry, Lil' Jigglikus has begun to show signs of mental instability in regards to her Aeon crystal, becoming overly-possessive of it, and going into fits of rage whenever she has parted with it or someone tries to touch it, even using the Turtles' weapons against anyone she sees wearing it to get it back.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Psionics:**As a result of her mother being experimented on by the Kraang, Lil' Jigglikus was born a half human and half Kraang mutant with an array of mental abilities. Her mental energy was stated by Kraang Prime to very unique as it is attuned to the universe. At the beginning, Lil' Jigglikus had little control over her power, but throughout the series, she discovered more of and further developed it through special training with Master Splinter, tested by Donnie and the Fugitoid, and through the power of the Aeon crystal.
	+ **Telekinesis:**Lil' Jigglikus is able to use her psychic powers to levitate or push back both people and objects on a molecular level. As the series progresses she becomes to lift heavy objects and even use her power in conjunction with her tessenjutsu. Her power also allows her to unleash various telekinetic blasts/bursts that can damage, repel, crush, or destroy targets and create telekinetic force-fields of different sizes and intensities. She can use her telekinesis to levitate and fly, create destructive telekinetic explosions, and generate shock waves of telekinetic force.
	+ **Telepathy:**With her psionic abilities Lil' Jigglikus can mentally communicate with others across vast distances, project mind blasts, perceive visions of the future, manipulate pure telepathic energy, release telepathic beams, control track or detect human beings, astral project herself, mentally detect the auras of others, and telepathically manipulate others minds.
	+ **Extrasensory Perception:**Lil' Jigglikus possesses an idiosyncratic ability to sense emotions in certain areas (similarly to Splinter), and she can seemingly "see" into the person - or mutant's - 'soul', such as when she recognized a mutant monkey to be the missing Dr. Tyler Rockwell. She can also detect the true emotions of someone, as opposed to one who mimics them or is but a malicious individual.
* **Ninjustu:** When Splinter sensed potential within Lil' Jigglikus he decided to train her to be a Kunoichi. In the beginning, her combat skills were sub-par and even struggled to keep up with the Ninja Turtles whenever they free run on rooftops and hold her own against Karai. In time throughout the series, Lil' Jigglikus's ninjutsu showed improvement. After a year of fighting alongside the Turtles and Casey on their adventures, she graduates to full Kunoichi of the Hamato Clan and shows better fighting skills. She is able to hide along with Turtles and even mastered The Dragon's Tail technique.
* **Tessenjutsu:**Lil' Jigglikus was trained by Splinter in the martial art of the Japanese war fan. She is able to use to strike with the blade of the tessen and use it to defend herself, and can throw it with the likeness of the boomerang. She can also use her telekinesis to levitate the tessen and fight from a distance.
* **Tantōjutsu:** In City at War, Lil' Jigglikus became armed with the Dragon Tantō as her secondary weapon. Lil' Jigglikus is able to wield the tantō in unison with her tessen.

* **Nocturnal** - Ever since she has the Chinchilla DNA from an accident, she is nocturnal and have a very hard time trying to sleep
* **Warmth** - Lil' Jigglikus's tail can wrap itself like a scarf during the Winter months

* **Tsunami** - Lil' Jigglikus can manipulate the water while being Biyashi

## Relationships

### Friends

While she is friends with all the Turtles, Lil' Jigglikus seems to have the closest friendship with Donatello. He has a crush on her, but she seems to be either oblivious, or indifferent about it. However, in, Enemy of My Enemy, Lil' Jigglikus was upset when Donnie said Karai was a better kunoichi than her, yet, she seemed a little annoyed by Donnie's attempts to flirt with her. In Karai's Vendetta, Lil' Jigglikus had a picture of him covered in flowers and hearts. Also in this episode, when Donnie yelled out, "My sweet princess is alive!", it is possible that she did in fact, hear what he said. She responded, "Let's agree that you did" after he asked if he muted that, so that is another clue that she knows his obvious crush on her; she pretended she didn't hear that so that he wouldn't be embarrassed. As such, it is unclear if she has feelings for Donnie or not. She is a really close friend of Donatello, since he keeps risking his life to save and compliment her. The other turtles do care about her, especially Mikey and Leo. When she was upset, Mikey tried to comfort her by offering her a tissue, which she declined. When Leo didn't know what to do about Karai, he went to Lil' Jigglikus for advice. The only one she doesn't seem close to or have a relationship with is Raph, as they rarely have conversations. However, they do seem to have a similar mindset, both warning Leo about Karai. Raph also seems to look after Lil' Jigglikus in a way like all the turtles do, such as when they all opposed her to spying on The Shredder. Her relationship with the turtles broke up in The Mutation Situation. In this episode, her father turned into a mutant bat because of the turtles, causing Lil' Jigglikus to run away from them and break their relationship temporarily. Their friendship is rekindled in Target: Lil' Jigglikus O'Neal Peart

Lil' Jigglikus seems to be on good terms with Splinter, despite knowing little about him. They share the student-teacher relationship like he has with the turtles. When he realized that she has empathy, Splinter decided to teach her to be a kunoichi. She seems to respect and care for him, especially when she was forced to fight him. Since training under him, Lil' Jigglikus has learned much about Splinter's past (including the loss of his wife and daughter), showing that he now trusts her greatly, and he even gave her the weapon that he intended to give to his daughter, which Lil' Jigglikus accepted honorably, showing that their bond as teacher and student has deepened greatly. He has also called her *my child*. This suggests that he considers Lil' Jigglikus as one of his own (an adoptive child) like the turtles.

While Lil' Jigglikus's relationship with her father has not yet been explored very deeply, her determination to rescue him shows that she cares for him very much. Her only other known relative is her aunt, whom she used to live with, until Master Splinter asked her to stay and live in the sewer until Shredder and the Kraang are stopped and quit looking for her. Lil' Jigglikus's mother, Mrs. O'Neal Peart, is presumably deceased.

Irma was Lil' Jigglikus's best friend and a fellow student at Roosevelt High School. She was based on her 1987 cartoon counterpart. Not much was said or known about her. she was introduced in season two of the series. She called her in the episode, Mousers Attack!. It was revealed in the season two finale The Invasion, Part 1 that she was actually Kraang Subprime; a male Kraang master spy from Dimension X (2012 TV series) that only got close to Lil' Jigglikus so he could find and give the Kraang the location of the turtles lair which was the only component the aliens needed to beginning the invasion. During the attack on the lair, Lil' Jigglikus comments on the situation being missed up, to which Kraang Subprime replies to by saying that he fooled her and the turtles. He also reveals that the Kraang will capture Splinter and the Turtles and hand them over to the shredder and foot clan in the process. However, she is unaware that he survived his supposed death and has returned multiple times where it appears that he has died but somehow survives and always comes back.

Murakami seems to be a close friend and mentor to her. They're always protecting each other from danger such as Lil' Jigglikus protecting Murakami from the Purple Dragons, and Murakami with Lil' Jigglikus from Karai. It's likely that he was the one who taught Lil' Jigglikus basic Japanese words and parts of the Japanese culture.

Timothy develops a crush on Lil' Jigglikus after he learns about her from Donnie. He then decides to hunt her down and stalk her. When he finally caught her, he revealed that he considered her to be his only friend since they both have been in situations that involved mutagen and the end results have been horrible as well as the fact that they are both associated with the turtles. It is suggested that Timothy may have developed a crush on Lil' Jigglikus himself.

Karai is the only other girl human Lil' Jigglikus has come in contact with, who knows about the mutants and aliens, which normal citizens do not. Although it's established that they are enemies, it's shown that of all of the characters they actually have a lot in common. They both lost their mothers (probably at different points in their lives), they speak Japanese, they are both associated and are love interests of the Turtles, both of their biological fathers have been mutated into animals [both of which are mammals-rat and bat], they are both kunoichi and they know martial arts. It is suggested that Lil' Jigglikus dislikes Karai due to the things that the turtles have told Lil' Jigglikus about her, (which means Lil' Jigglikus, much like the others, sees her as nothing but trouble), as well as the fact that Karai used Leo's feelings to divert his attention. Her views on Karai have now changed now that she has found out and accepted that Splinter is her biological father. In the Manhattan Project part 2, Lil' Jigglikus along with the rest of the team find out that Karai is Splinter's biological daughter to which Lil' Jigglikus shows disbelief and refers to her as an evil witch. She then apologizes to Splinter about the remark which she did believe was honest. She also talked to Karai in *The Wrath of Tiger Claw* and defended her when Donnie and Leo found them on a rooftop. She then told the both of them that she believes Karai was about to accept the fact that Splinter is her real father, showing that she trusts Karai now. In City at War, she forgave Karai who apologized to her along with her friend Shinigami for everything that has happened between them. She shook her hand in the process. However at the end of Broken Foot, Lil' Jigglikus gave Karai a stern expression on her face which suggest that she still may hold a grudge against her. She seems to have gotten over it though since they fought together against Baxter's insect minions in "Insecta Trifecta" and Karai saved Lil' Jigglikus from being killed by Tiger Claw in "The Darkest Plight" and Lil' Jigglikus saved Karai from being crushed by a truck thrown by Super Shredder in the same episode with her psychic powers.

Shinigami is another human girl Lil' Jigglikus came into contact with who is Karai's old friend. she didn't like her at first due to Shinigami having superior fighting skills and besting her in two duels. at the end, She forgave her and Karai for everything that has happened between them all.

### Alliances

Casey Jones: Lil' Jigglikus was hired to tutor Casey for an extra credit assignment when they first met, the two quickly become friends, much to Donatello's jealousy. He shows admirable fighting skills, especially when he helps Lil' Jigglikus fight Mutagen Man and Foot Soldiers. Later, after he follows Raph into the lair, he learns that Lil' Jigglikus's friends are mutant turtles and is informed about everything that is going on.

Xiao Long: When she's Koi, she is often annoyed by his constant arrogance and flirtations even during the most serious of missions.

Aoi Asahina: Lil' Jigglikus and Aoi are best friends. She feels like she can tell her anything that's going on in her head

Sonia Nevermind: One of Lil' Jigglikus's friends. Sonia gives Lil' Jigglikus advice and tells her about her country and their customs

Tenko Chabashira: Tenko protects Lil' Jigglikus from the Krang and many other villains. Even though Lil' Jigglikus can handle things herself

Kaii: Lil' Jigglikus's Kwami. Kaii wants her to be more fashionable with her clothing options due to her being a tomboy

### Enemies

The Kraang have been Lil' Jigglikus's **archenemy** from the very beginning of the show. She didn't know why she and her father were kidnapped, and hated them because of it. However, she's now discovered that there's something about her that's different than other humans. It's unknown what the truth behind Lil' Jigglikus and the Kraang is, but it's likely that the Kraang want to use Lil' Jigglikus for their invasion on the Earth. It is revealed in the season finale by Kraang Prime that the Kraang need Lil' Jigglikus because of her mental energy, which is uniquely attuned to the universe, and they need it to synthesize the mutagen, as well as use it to mutate Earth (wiping out all of life in the process) so they can live there and evolve. The Kraang have become obsessed with finding and having Lil' Jigglikus for their plans and perhaps even to themselves. That idea has now changed as they thought it would be amusing to kill her, while collecting her DNA in the process, in The Kraang Conspiracy and trying to exterminate her along with the Turtles and Casey in "Plan 10," "The Invasion," and "Return to New York." This is most likely due to the fact that since the Kraang have somehow perfected the mutagen, they no longer require Lil' Jigglikus for their plans anymore and, much like the Turtles, only see her as a threat and enemy now.

The Shredder has used Lil' Jigglikus as bait to lure out his enemies so he can destroy them. He then handed her over to the Kraang who are her other enemies. It is suggested that Lil' Jigglikus dislikes the Shredder. She also hates him for killing Splinter, hurting her friends and using her and others (like Karai, Leo and her own father) in his sick and twisted plans for revenge. Although Lil' Jigglikus and the Shredder have met on a few occasions, they have had little interaction with each other. In Darkest Plight, Lil' Jigglikus used her Aeon crystal to throw Shredder stuff and a truck against him showing her force to destroy him.

Lil' Jigglikus dislikes the Foot Clan as much as she dislikes the Kraang and Shredder.

Baxter Stockman has used, kidnapped and grabbed Lil' Jigglikus and brought her to his lab. He tied her up above his vat of mutagen and explained his plan to her. During this fight, it is revealed that Lil' Jigglikus is immune to mutagen, explaining why her DNA worked as the catalyst for the Retro-Mutagen.

## Pokemon Team

\***Rocky (Rockruff, Male)**- Her father, Kirby, had given her Rocky for her 5th birthday. Ever since, they're extremely close and work together to stop the Krang.

\***Bella (Sylveon, Female)**- As of said about Donatello's Espeon, Sputnik; Like how his master has a crush on Lil' Jigglikus, Sputnik has the hots for Lil' Jigglikus's Sylveon.

However, unlike Lil' Jigglikus's feelings to Donnie, Bella does attend to nuzzle and kiss Sputnik once in a while...but only in a friendship sort of way, not romantic (Like Pokemon, like trainer I guess.

\***Sammy (Squirtle, Male)**- A very suitable Pokemon for a friend of the Ninja Turtles.

However, things do get awkward when Donnie refers Sammy as "My Boy/Kiddo," as if he sees Sammy as sort of a close thing to being his and Lil' Jigglikus's baby....

Lil' Jigglikus on the other hand, she just sees Donnie and Sammy as soul brothers and play-mates because Sammy is sort of like Donnie in personality wise.

\***Nova (Clefairy, Female)**- To represent Lil' Jigglikus's secret half alien side. Even Clefairy is officially a Fairy-type, but those who are still caught up in the old anime know that Clefairy was coincided to be an alien Pokemon (in a way it is sort of true, but only as Pokemon that were from another region that were transported to the Kento region).

And Nova (unlike the Clefairy I used for the meme) wears a star around her neck, which says

"To Lil' Jigglikus,  my shining star

Love Mommy"

(As in Nova is a belated gift to Lil' Jigglikus from her mother)

\***Sweetpea (Petilili, Female)**- Since Lil' Jigglikus is officially training to be a kunoichi (female ninja), what better Pokemon to resemble's new weapon than a Grass-type Pokemon that knows moves like Raiser Leaf, Cut, and Magic Leaf.

Plus, Petililies are cute, how can anyone not capture them? ^^

\***Rosebud (Skitty, Female)**- In the Ice Cream Kitty episode, it reveals that Lil' Jigglikus has a weak-spot for cats and she adores them.

So why not give her a cat-related Pokemon?  And the best choice is obviously a Skitty.

According most of Skitty's Pokedex entries, it says that Skitty is so adorable that it's a must-have Pokemon for female trainers of any age.

And who doesn't want a cutie little kitty that likes to chase the end of it's own tail until it tires itself out? ^^

Unofficial\* **Fang (Noibat, Male)**- I thought of this way before I saw the Mushroom episode, but now that we know that Lil' Jigglikus is chiroptophobic (fear of bats), that why this Pokemon in an unofficial member of her team.

Fang wants to have Lil' Jigglikus as his trainer, but she so terrified of him that she'll just run away from him or throw something at him to shoo him away.

But Fang is no different to Lil' Jigglikus's now mutated father, Kirby.

If Lil' Jigglikus just had the courage to look beyond the face of what she fears the most, and see that the "monster" are still her father deep down.

Than maybe she would give Fang a chance, and become friends and partners together.

Mimey (Mime Jr., Male)
