Haha I Found A Description Of My Original Character In My Series 😀

Chapter summary:

The Ninja find the Temple of Light, and Rose's choices come back to haunt her.

Since kai's name has to do with both fire (Scottish I believe) and water (hawaiian) I do wonder if Ray and Maya were like "hey it's a 50/50 shot which element he gets" and then when he was very clearly fire they chose like a very distinctly water name for their second kid

N y a

The call to the sea.

animated mikey's ballet skills combined with his fighting style, hehe

Another Doodle Dump!

Lord bless you! ✝️

At some point we are going to have to discuss how these fuckers can just…control animals??

Like how???

Really???

HOW!?!??

Characters' handwriting in rise (in episode order)!

"Mystic mayhem". Splinter's handwriting is very unique and cool! Love how angular it is, his "o"s are more like triangles

"Origami Tsunami". It's not shown who wrote these signs (multiple turtles?). We see mikey put the "paper on sale" sign up but we don't see him write it. However, after gathering all the samples of the turtles' handwriting, i couldn't find one of leo's and this sloppiness doesn't quite match donnie's, raph's or mikey's, so i'm inclined to say this is leo's handwriting

"Shell in a Cell". Donnie's signature. Donnie writes in cursive in "origami tsunami" too

"Stuck on you". Raph's consistently shown to write in all caps. Also he wrote this on his right palm. Is raph left handed? But! In "pizza puffs" raph writes with his right hand. Maybe raph's ambidextrous orrrrr the artists just forgot

"Pizza Pit". Mikey's handwriting. His letters are offset. How interesting! Mikey writes in all caps in "bullhop" but a bit neater

"Warren & hypno, sitting in a tree". I LOVE that we can see this evolution of april's handwriting through the years, or at least her signature, from elementary school to highschool. I also love that we see her without her jacket

This list of shown handwriting is far from comprehensive, unfortunately, but handwriting is a great opportunity for characterization that i think's often overlooked. Idk if the crew sat down and chose unique handwriting styles for each character but that'd be cool if they did! I noticed most of the handwriting in rise is all caps across characters

On season 8 right now and WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S PART DRAGON?!?! Of course that means from now on Lloyd will have pointy ears
