History Characters / TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012HamatoClan

* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Does she have feelings for Donnie or not? probably not even she knows. [[spoiler: She HAS kissed him several times at this point, once even on the lips when he more or less hinted at the feelings he has for her]].

* {{Hypocrite}}: When she learns Casey lost a friend for injuring him, she assures she didn't on purpose, while she refuses to acknowledge her father's mutation in hands of the Turtles was an accident. She was [[JerkassRealization taken aback]] when Casey advises her that some things can't be controlled, which is the same thing Donnie told her earlier.
And to her credit, April realizes she's in the wrong and apologizes to the turtles.

She was [[JerkassRealization taken aback]] when Casey advices some things can't be controlled, which is the same thing Donnie told her earlier.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Although many of the actions to conquer April can be considered as stalk, this seems simply because he has no social skills, instead of being a pervert or something.

* AdaptationalJerkass: A {{downplayed}} and subtle example. She's prone to being mean towards the Turtles if they do anything to upset or disappoint her. When her father was accidentally mutated into a bat and Mikey confessed they were the ones who released Mutagen canisters from a Kraang ship, leading to said mutation, she instantly accused them of mutating him on purpose, and swore to never see their faces again, even refusing to believe their claims that the whole disaster was an accident. However, during a visit from Donnie and hearing Casey tell her how he lost a friend from an accident as they both said that some things can't be controlled, April realized her harsh behavior towards the Turtles, especially Donnie. Also, during a Foot attack, April realized that Donnie and Casey were right as she call the Turtles for help. After taking care of the Foot Clan, April forgives them for their honest mistake and apologies to the Turtles for yelling at them.

* UnstoppableRage: When he sees Shredder [[spoiler:apparently kills Splinter]] in "The Invasion", he goes into an absolute fit of pure unadulterated anger and very nearly punches Mikey during it. [[MoralityPet Mikey]] is luckily able to [[CoolDownHug calm him down before he does anything irrational.]]

* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Michelangelo, all the time. Raph is able to overcome even his fear towards a Terminator-esque Cockroach mutant the second Mikey's in trouble. He shows this towards Donnie occasionally as well, such as trying to kee him from embarrassing himself more than he already has, or ditching Spike when Donnie is missing. And yes, this even includes Leonardo, especially in regards to Karai and the last battle of "Showdown". It seems that this instinct is what makes him a great second in command but a poor leader; he's not willing to sacrifice his brothers and doesn't want them hurt.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Michelangelo, all the time. Raph is able to overcome even his fear towards a Terminator-esque Cockroach mutant the second Mikey's in trouble. He shows this towards Donnie once as well, keeping him from embarrassing himself any further than he already has. And yes, this even includes Leonardo, especially in regards to Karai and the last battle of "Showdown". It seems that this instinct is what makes him a great second in command but a poor leader; he's not willing to sacrifice his brothers and doesn't want them hurt.

* AdaptationalJerkass: {{Downplayed}} with the Turtles themselves. Make no mistake, the Turtles in this series are still [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold heroes and willing do the right thing]], but they are ''much'' more prone to squabbling and infighting, and their personal flaws[[note]]Leo's rigidity and desire to have everything ''his'' way, Donnie's [[EntitledToHaveYou bordering-on-entitlement]] crush/obsession on April, Raph's anger and BigBrotherBully behavior for absolutely no reason, and Mikey's [[NeverMyFault refusal to recognize when he's at fault]][[/note]] are given more focus, making the Turtles come off as much meaner and less reasonable than they are in most incarnations. It also doesn't help that the Turtles in this series have a bad habit of occasionally [[ItsAllAboutMe putting themselves and their desires]] over other people (including their family) and making morally questionable actions, such as betraying Karai despite a greater threat being on the loose or most of them agreeing to let Pulverizer spy on the Foot despite the threat. Fortunately, they get much better on these fronts through CharacterDevelopment, but it's still noticeable.
* AdaptationalWimp: The Turtles suffer from this ''hard'' in the series. While they are still skilled ninja, the Turtles are more prone to losing fights, pulling a BadassInDistress, receiving a lot of humiliating beatings, and/or being forced to retreat during battles compared to most versions. It also doesn't help that in the rare moment any one of them or the group as a whole manages to win an impressive victory, none of them seem to retain their experience or newfound skills in future battles and continue to remain inept when fighting a new MonsterOfTheWeek or even one of their old foes like the Shredder, Xever, Bradford, or Tiger Claw, whom the Turtles should be able to solidly defeat after multiple seasons worth of battles but yet... still have trouble against them even by the time of the final season. To put it into perspective, the only enemies who don't subject them to at least ''one'' CurbStompBattle across the entire series are... the Purple Dragons. Also, pretty much the ''only'' Shredder they can fight without being put in life-threatening danger is the goofier, less competent 1987 Shredder, whom Leo and his 1987 counterpart easily dispatch together in "The Big Blowout".

* BrotherSisterTeam: He works best alongside his older half-sister Karai, best shown in the "City at War" arc (second half of Season 4) when they secretly fight together to successfully topple Sherdder's Foot criminal organizations all throughout New York City. The first 4 episodes of Season 5 also has both of them as the main focus, working together to find out more about the reborn underground Foot clan lead by Tiger Claw to resurrect Shredder and retrieve the last few key items (the Shredder's helmet and his heart). Their romantic relationship and teamwork is again seen in the "When Worlds Collide" two-part episode saga.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: All of the Turtles except Michelangelo suffer being this in "Parasitica".
** It happens again in "Pizza Face" to everyone except Mikey.

* AdaptationalWimp: The Turtles unfortunately suffer from this ''hard'' in the series. While they are still skilled ninja, the Turtles are more prone to losing fights, pulling a BadassInDistress, receiving a lot of humiliating beatings, and/or being forced to retreat during battles compared to most versions. It also doesn't help that in the rare moment any one of them or the group as a whole manages to win an impressive victory, none of them seem to retain their experience or newfound skills in future battles and continue to remain inept when fighting a new MonsterOfTheWeek or even one of their old foes like the Shredder, Xever, Bradford, or Tiger Claw, whom the Turtles should be able to solidly defeat after multiple seasons worth of battles but yet... still have trouble against them even by the time of the final season.

* TheClan: While originally a prosperous clan, Saki's FaceHeelTurn led to its near destruction after inducting most of its grunts into the Foot, killing Tang Shen and adopting Miwa as Karai after Yuta dies of old age, leaving Yoshi as its sole survivor.

* BadassBaritone: From season three onwards, courtesy of Seth Green.

-> "''That's incredibly stupid! Or brilliant...Or both.''"

* FourTemperamentEnsemble:
** Raph is choleric. Livid, short-fused, cocky, and stubborn with a HairTriggerTemper, and tends to overestimate his abilities [[LeeroyJenkins and dive into action headfirst without thinking things through.]] He's also overconfident, HotBlooded, and loyal to his friends and family.
** Mikey is sanguine. He is the [[ThePollyanna cheerful,]] [[MotorMouth talkative,]] [[FunPersonified and just plain fun to have around and be around.]] He's also weak-willed, [[StepfordSmiler covers up his problems and insecurities with a smile.]]
** Donnie is phlegmatic. He's TheSmartGuy, who is also [[UndyingLoyalty loyal to his family and allies,]] and [[NiceGuy very polite]].
** Leo is melancholic. He's steadfast, patient, and very trustworthy. He's also burdened by TheChainsOfCommanding, the most brooding under dire circumstances, stubborn when he puts his mind on something, and at times does unethical and questionable actions that get him in trouble.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: [[TheChainsOfCommanding The Melancholic]].

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: [[TheQuietOne The Phlegmatic]].

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: [[HairTriggerTemper The Choleric]].

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Raph has been shown more than once to be very friendly to animals (for example, Spike and the pigeon in "Showdown, Part 1") but this may just be a case of NotGoodWithPeople. See HiddenDepths. The notable exception to this seems to be horses, who he consistently has trouble dealing with. It's arguably a RunningGag.

* TheLoad: Several episodes in the first couple of seasons are based around Mikey getting himself into trouble due to carelessness, impulsiveness, or outright naivete, and his brothers having to rescue him. Happens occasionally later on too, but it's rarer. Special Mention to "The Creeping Doom" in Season 4, when he turns ''Donnie'' into TheLoad with his fooling around.

* AdaptationalWimp: {{Downplayed}}. Michelangelo is usually depicted as the most laid-back and even bumbling member of the turtles in most versions, but he is a complete idiot in this series. From nearly getting the Turtles killed by Shredder because he wasted all their smoke bombs previously for the most trivial of reasons, to nearly getting himself killed by pouring experimental goo of Donatello's on himself that was clearly labeled as toxic and dangerous. The episode "Journey to the Center of Mikey's Mind" even revealed he never mentally matured past the age of six.

* AdaptationalJerkass: {{Downplayed}} with the Turtles themselves. Make no mistake, the Turtles in this series are still [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold heroes and willing do the right thing]], but they are ''much'' more prone to squabbling and infighting, and their personal flaws[[note]]Leo's rigidity and desire to have everything ''his'' way, Donnie's [[EntitledToHaveYou bordering-on-entitlement]] crush/obsession on April, Raph's BigBrotherBully behavior for absolutely no reason, and Mikey's [[NeverMyFault refusal to recognize when he's at fault]][[/note]] are given more focus, making the Turtles come off as much meaner and less reasonable than they are in most incarnations. It also doesn't help that the Turtles in this series have a bad habit of [[ItsAllAboutMe putting themselves and their desires]] over other people, including their family. Fortunately, they get much better on these fronts through CharacterDevelopment, but it's still noticeable.

* BackFromTheBrink: After the Shredder's raid on the Hamato Clan, the sole survivor was Hamato Yoshi himself, unaware that his daughter survived and was being raised as Karai. After Yoshi's mutation, the Turtles would increase this number to five, April becoming an official Hamato Clan kunoichi in Season Four and having a strong allyship with Casey Jones, the Mighty Mutanimals and various others.

** Leonardo is [[TheLeader the Leader]], who is levelheaded in addition to eagerly volunteering for the role and then growing into it properly. Raphael is [[TheBigGuy the Muscle,]] and he's also Leo's {{Lancer}} and {{foil}} for leadership. Donatello is [[TheSmartGuy the Brains;]] he's the go-to turtle for [[OmniDisciplinaryScientist engineering, hacking, and biology.]] Michelangelo is [[FunPersonified the Wild One]] and goes between PluckyComicRelief to full on CloudCuckooLander. Splinter is their [[TeamDad father figure,]] [[OldMaster master,]] and BigGood behind the scenes. In this series, April joins fairly early on as TheChick in addition to being aged down from being the TokenAdult in most other incarnations. Casey finally caps off the team as TheSixthRanger via acting as a second BigGuy alongside Raph or Donnie's romantic Rival.

* TheChick: Towards the Turtles as usual, but a more action oriented one than her previous versions.

* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Leo
** TheLancer: Raph
** TheSmartGuy: Donnie
** TheBigGuy: Casey
** TheChick: April and Mikey
** TheSixthRanger: [[spoiler:Karai]]
