Figured I'd have ago at colouring in Paint Shop Pro 7. I never use computers to colour anything, but I wanted to have ago.

I left it looking a little sketchie, because I like my stuff that way.

It also saved on the scanner screwin' up my colours. Though I'm not 100% set on these colours as I've grown quite attached to the ones my scanner messed-up. ^_^;

So, yeah, just for a bit of fun.


--- Character ---


At presant, not a great deal is known of this mutated lizard girl. She was first spotted by Michelangelo during a mission with his brothers pursuing The Foot.

Nicolosa is the name given to her by Splinter, and it's unknown what her previous name was, or if she even had one to begin with. Her species and origns are also unknown at this point. It's apparent that she's some kind of lizard, but Donatello is hopeful that some tests will help find out the spesifics. Though, that may be easier said than done due to the mutation process and it's effects on her and her DNA. And this is all assuming that she is indeed a mutant. Though she was first referred to as a mutant, there's nothing so far that ellimates the chance of her being an alien from another world.

Her green skin is more pale than that of the Turtles, and she's also shorter than them too. Her eyes are blue and, though she has a tail, it's shorter than expected of a a lizard breed. It's so far unknown weather she once had a long tail, or if it's an effect of being mutated. Or, if it's just a typical feature of her alien race (if that's what she actually is).

She's easily amused, and can get over-excited. Her bubbly personality and friendly nature makes it easy for her to get along with others. But she isn't as two-dimentional as she first comes across, as she's the kind of being who'll smile on the outside, even if they're crying on the inside. She has feeling just like everyone else, and she can be easily hurt. Being that she doesn't know where she came from or any deatils from her past, she also had alot of questions floating around her head and a part of her felt very alone as she thought that no one really understood her.

During her short time with the Splinter and the Turtles, she's found real friends (as well as complications). She's enjoyed watching the interaction of the brothers, and their father too. To her knowledge, she's never had a family, and it fills her with a warm feeling to be (some sort of) a part of this one. She likes to observe their relationships with eachother, and gets a good giggle out of things whenever Michelangelo is being told-off about something.

Splinter seems to have taken a sort of fatherly interest in her. When she first awoke in the lair, Splinter was the first to meet with her, and with words alone, calm her from the panic she was feeling after having woken-up in a strange place, and then being faced with a giant rat in one room, and seeing a giant turtle in another. Splinter explained his families past and present, and introduced her to his four sons, and, as I said before; gave her a name (just as he did his sons).

Leonardo seems to interact with her the least. Perhaps because he's observing things from a distance, or perhaps because he hardly gets a chance to. Or perhaps it has something to do with Rapheal's views on her, as, eventhough Leonardo claims not to agree with Raphael, he's always been one of the more cautious brothers. And, as a leader as well as a big brother, he's always protective of his family. But he does seem to get along with Nicolosa, and defends her from any in-coming accusations from Raphael.

Raphael is at conflict with his own mind about Nicolosa. He has great suspisions about her being a spy for The Foot, and worries that she's simply misleading everyone into thinking they can trust her. He worries the others are getting too attached to her, especially where Donatello and Michelangelo are concerned. Yet, at the same time, he's found himself to be "sucked-in" as well. A part of him wants to accept her for who she claims to be, but another part of him seems to yell at him that that's exactly what she wants him to think, and if he drops his guard like everyone else has; they'll all end-up in big trouble.

Donatello gets along with Nicolosa just fine and doesn't suspect her of any wrong doings. Nicolosa enjoys peeking at whatever Donatello's upto, and thinks his inventions are really cool. She's amazed at how clever he is, but, while at first she can be really interested to hear how he does things, she doesn't always understand what he's talking about when he starts to get techical. Donatello enjoys her company and likes having someone around who finds an interest in what he does. He's also very interested in finding-out just where she came from. He also likes having some around who's (almost... maybe) as computer savvie as he is.

Michelangelo seems to spend the most time with Nicolosa. He has alot in common with her and has been enjoying having someone else around who likes to live life to the fullest - which, to them, means having as much fun as possible. He's also aware that she's alot deeper than first thought (much like himself). They enjoy eachother's company alot and have been growing closer and closer. A recent happening has left them both wondering just how deep their feelings go, but this may never be explored as neither of them like causing awkwardness, or like feeling awkward themselves. It could be a simple matter of best friend feelings as they get on so well and spend so much time together. For now, at least, it seems best they keep anything complicated hidden... at least until they know themselves just what's going on. They think life should be enjoyed, so it's unknown if they'd dare to complicate things.

One of her favourite hobbies is video-gaming. And one of her favourite games at the moment is Guitar Hero. But could an upgrade to Rock Band be on horizon?

At present, she doesn't have any weapons or (as far as is known) any battle training.

Perhaps the Turtles will be able to help her rediscover her past. Or will she prove to be a "wolf in sheep's clothing" afterall?

Only time will tell...
