Lowkey had gifted kid burnout vibes. Martial arts was her escape. ⢠Post-Mutation: Stoic, deadly, withdrawn, struggles with guilt. Glimpses of her old self leak out in rare moments (usually with Leo). ⢠Present: Struggling with the moral fallout of her transformation. Scared of hurting anyone else, especially Leo. āø» 𧬠ORIGINS & POWERS ⢠Backstory: Once a quiet student with a love for gymnastics and martial arts, she was mutated during a Foot experiment gone wrong. Her powers became vampiricādraining life energy by touch, enhanced strength, speed, night vision, and emotional manipulation (uncontrollable). ⢠Major Trauma: Accidentally killed her own parents when trying to convince them she was still human. That moment broke her. Shredder offered her a new āpurposeā and she took itāthinking her humanity was gone. ⢠Powers: ⢠Life energy drain via touch ⢠Supernatural strength and agility ⢠Blood hunger (resisted⦠sometimes) ⢠Healing factor (slow but effective) ⢠Hypersensitivity to light/emotion āø» š LEO x MARA (THE SHIP THAT HURTS SO GOOD) š First Impressions: ⢠Leo saw her before her mutation. She was this fierce loner doing backflips after school. He was intriguedāsomeone else carrying a burden like him. Secretly watched her practice, silently rooting for her. š„ Relationship Status: ⢠Itās Complicatedā¢. ⢠Leo still believes thereās good in her. ⢠Mara tries to push him away, fearing sheāll hurt him (spoiler: she already has⦠emotionally). ⢠Theyāve had moments: a fight turned heart-to-heart, rooftop chats, mid-battle hesitation, shared trauma. ⢠Leoās love is patient. Maraās love is terrified. š Major Scenes: ⢠Rooftop Confession: She tells him she misses being human. He says āYouāre still you. I see you.ā She nearly breaks. ⢠Final Escape from Earth: As she prepares to die, Leo grabs her hand and says, āI need you.ā Thatās the first time she believes maybe⦠just maybe⦠sheās worth saving. š Obstacles: ⢠Her loyalty to Shredder. ⢠Her self-loathing. ⢠Leoās sense of duty vs. his heart. ⢠The fact that she literally could kill him if she loses control. āø» š©¶ LIFESTYLE šÆ Current Living Situation: ⢠Foot Clan stronghold. Probably sleeps in a coffin-shaped bed (Shredderās idea, not hers). ⢠Room is dark, minimalistic. Weapons hanging on the wall. A journal tucked away. A cracked photo of her family buried deep in a drawer. š Habits: ⢠Night-only patrols ⢠Meditation (to control urges) ⢠Sparring (to blow off steam) ⢠Secret stashes of animal blood she hates drinking but tolerates to avoid hurting others ⢠Watches reruns of shows like Voltron (Donāt tell anyone.) š Style: ⢠Black and red Foot uniform, custom-tailored. Think sleek ninja meets Gothic vampire. ⢠On Earth: Dark hoodie, fingerless gloves, combat boots.
