Many things have happened over the coarse of April's life, from loosing and gaining jobs, being pushed down or fighting for herself, living her normal human life... or embarking on a journey along side four giant mutant turtles, their rat master, and a crazy hockey vigilante. Which in any case seemed most exciting. April was thankful for the road she was put on, for her life lit up a great amount ever since she took a chance to break out of her dull state and become something, someone. It was all thanks to her turtle friends, her family. She loved them dearly - for they and Master Splinter who she now called Sensei had taught her what lies beneath her capabilities, and so she trained herself to become a Kunoichi, not just some reporter who caught eyes in any direction, no. She was more than that! She was strong, she was as smart and sharp as her skills were in her job and her passion, and though her fighting skills had a long way she kicked major ass.
Eventually April was proud to be able to train along side her family when she could, and do nothing but give her all to protect them - allowing traits off each brother to sink into her and make her become stronger. April was ready... ready for anything!
Anything except for one mishap, which started with one accident, that had happened right near where she was reporting and that she overlooked.
The city was in shambles in less than a month and her new job was gone, along with everything she held dear from memories to mementos kept safe in her home as New York became a wasteland of plague - a true horror fest she wanted no part of. This was something she had never expected to happen and had not the slightest clue as to how it came to be, a city once known for its glow, a destination site for anyone around the globe now at a catastrophic danger zone that may never end.
Before it could have gotten any worse April was luckily pulled along with her gang one night, taken from what she called home she watched it crash and burn behind her as those ocean blue pools captured every sight from death and natural disasters. She was just lucky enough to not have been one of those poor unfortunate souls that perished a slow painful death, taken from her comfort area she never had been so thankful;
And with that there was some sort of flash and she was running through the sewers. Her heels clacked and sloshed along the thick waters as it flicked up and sprayed along her yellow jacket, white tank and blue jeans, but her attire didn't matter, she just tried not to fall behind as she was being pulled by the newest member of their group to safety. Casey was the one to got her out that night, and how they all re-joined to get to a safe distance away from the chaos.
But she would never forget that night once they all escaped and Raphael had brought Leo out...
The way the leader collapsed to his knees like he had seen a ghost, they almost didn't get him into the vehicle. And so began the poison that infected the family, causing it to fall ever so slowly from the loss of their beloved father that night.
April prayed Master Splinters survival as much as any, but her sanity began to crumble too as the emotions drained from that farm-house turning everything black and white, she became restless as the house fell silent for weeks on end, you could hear it creak in the dead of night and day.

She didn't know how long it had been since that dreadful night, or if she was loosing her mind or not. April awoke at dawn to take a hot shower and dress into her white tank, yellow jacket, blue jeans and brown booted heels, all somewhat clean from hand washes except her boots that were stained from that haunted night.
The red head exited her room once finished rubbing a towel over her head a few times to get those fiery red locks dried as best as they could, she hated to say it but she did miss those over-priced products she bought to maintain the mess she called hair, but a brush would do. She was becoming some sort of jungle princess, but she didn't mind it too much.
With a deep sigh April went to head to the kitchen feeling slightly peckish when she noticed a scrunched up can on the table and a chair pushed out harshly and instantly her mind went to Raphael, but soon her ears picked up voices and she rotated her head towards the upstairs, seeing the hallway somewhat crowded and those familiar voices bounce off the thin walls. The woman felt a small weight fall off her heart when she scanned those large shadows and the tips of shells out the door.
Adjusting the collar of her jacket April tossed her wavy red hair over her left shoulder and paced herself up the steps. Normally she didn't want to interrupt the brothers in any dire moment but hell, she did miss them, and she only hoped them being together and rambling was them actually working something out to get somewhere...
She knew Leo had been cooped in his room for a long period of time and not taking care of himself, but neither were the others as they all pushed away from one another, she didn't want to butt-in and make anything worse, so now was as good as any to make sure they were all okay... or at least getting there.
Picking up the last of Donatello's sentence the rather short young woman planted herself behind Raph and Donnie outside the door, her small soft hands placed on Raph's and Donnie's shell's as she spoke up.
"...Room for one more?"
April allowed a small smile to stretch against her pink lips as she awaited the others to turn and meet her face to face, it had been quite a long time they had all been this close, and her heart swelled to be able to see them all in the same place once again. April's features seemed a bit tired, her hair tossed messily over one shoulder and her clothes were just slipped on for another day, but regardless April was still April. Just as pretty as she had been on T.V. The woman waited, and once so she looked at each of their faces with those big blue eyes, so happy to see them again even if the circumstances weren't so great.
