Introducing my TMNT OC; Beatrice!

Beatrice is 15-16ish, useing She/Her pronouns predominantly but doesn’t mind others. She’s based off of a fruit bat/flying fox! This ref can be used for all versions BUT is heavily depicted for TMNT MM (and ROTTMT.)

She’s my child fr

A ball of sunshine who is kinda a push over. A bit (a lot) of a people pleaser, but she’s trying. Smiles a lot, like 24/7 and is usually always in a good mood. A bit of a dreamer and romantic who likes all things space. Thinks the whole zodiac thing is interesting. Also a Hozier Enjoyer. Always has some kind of fruit thing on her, Fruit snacks, dried fruit, fruit juices, etc. Also enjoys training with the boys, especially with Raph. He pushes her even when she thinks she can’t do it anymore.

And yes, she’s shipped with Raphael. I love grumpy x sunshine tropes <3 In most/99% of versions their relationship features them (or maybe just Bea?) learning something from each other(?)

Some (mm) backstory!

Was previously a bat before being mutated by Baxter Stockman, being the last to be mutated. And was only a tube baby during Utrom’s raid. She got lost a bit after the escape and was later presumed dead by Superfly, only to be found by a couple who thankfully did not freak out about some chubby human like baby bat crawling around an alleyway. She really doesn’t know how they didn’t buttt she’s been living with them in secret ever since, being home schooled and is only let out at night. She has a few internet friends from around New York. (Don’t tell her parents but they know about her being a mutant and are also surprisingly chill with it? She got lucky and basically thanks whatever decided to pity her every day for it.)

Don’t be afraid to ask questions or submit requests about her! CX

I would love to answer or talk about her 🙏

I’ll probably update this as i go bcuz i don’t want people to be confused

I feel like Ryan is in an echo chamber. I went on his page to see what he said about the name and after being disappointed by his not response I see retweeeting Matt propaganda!! This is my weekly question to you, how can anyone call themselves PR fans and be okay with the poor treatment of iconic characters. These aren’t like nobodies. This is the same cast as the movie! Like how can you mess up so many characters and be okay, even proud of that? I guess I got a follow up. As a writer is this just unchecked ego? Or misguided understanding of PR?

i mean......i don't want to psychoanalyze the guy, that's not my business. i don't know anything about him except the projects he writes, so that's the only thing i can judge

i don't this the problem is not understanding PR. we know from years of his books that he understands PR. again, rereading pre-Forever Rangers GGPR and even MMPR/TMNT, while they had some flubs, they were not the mess the relaunch is. even with their problems they were enjoyable to read and felt like PR. even Necessary Evil, as much as i criticize it overall, had its high points

but i've said this before about his writing, i think he has a problem of taking on too much at one time, and when he does that, he has trouble holding everything together. ESPECIALLY when he throws all these big plots into one convoluted story. like, it's obvious he has really ambitious plans here! Zordon and Zedd's backstory and how that relates to Eltar and Angry Bearded Zordon being in control of the Empyreals, Candice being a secret Eltarian Guardian, Grace creating a new ranger from the stolen Dragon Coin...and not even going into everything happening on the Power Rangers side. they're all great ideas! but it's SO much at once, and it feels like the actual Mighty Morphin team are just pawns used to get to these parts of the story he actually wants to tell instead of actually making the story.....about the Mighty Morphin team. in early stories, no matter how huge the scope got, the story was ALWAYS driven by the Mighty Morphin team and their unique dynamics and how they affected, and were affected by, the plot. to contrast the rangers just feel SO secondary in #9 - passive and almost interchangeable in their dialogue. because....they just don't feel important to this story

WHICH, believe it or not, is FINE, if that's the story Ryan wants to tell. and some of the parts of MM ARE interesting! i've grown to like Candice! i want to know what Zedd's deal is! Ryan's genuinely good at world-building! but that's why he should stay on the Power Rangers side and maybe just be a consultant for a new author on the Mighty Morphin book. i'm not reading a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers book......that's not going to give me the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. at least not in a meaningful way

while i'm on that though, that's why everything with Matt is so annoying, because the actual MMs being so secondary while Matt takes the spotlight and drives the New Green storyline is why he comes off as being a Creator's Pet at best and a self-insert at worst. it's always been clear that Matt is one of Ryan's favorite characters, so showing him off as the Cool New Ranger!!!!!!! on twitter isn't at all a surprise (and maaaaaaybe related to how, if we're looking at overall reaction and book sales, his reveal as the New Green was kind of a flop. don't believe Twitter stans)
