Profile

April is a field reporter for Channel Six 'Eyewitness' News in Manhattan. She also runs an internet YouTube / Podcast called 'Truth Seekers' in which she has garnered a wide following of fans. Her internet work allows April to cover the investigative reports that the TV Station won't let her air, but the TV gig has helped spread April's name and face across the city, which has been mutually beneficial to her online persona.

Note: This iteration of April O'Neil is primarily inspired by the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle film, though the physical appearance is borrowed from the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle film for modernising the character more easily, visually. This April O'Neil is primarily an internet personality, though she still works for Channel Six 'Eyewitness' News and will sometimes do remote pieces for them and on-scene interviews.

History

History:

April's father was a brilliant scientist and teacher. April's mother was an avid historian and lover of anthropology and archaelogy. As a child, when April wasn't in her mother's antique store, she was in her father's classroom... or with either of her parents in a library searching for answers to whatever her parents were seeking at the time. April grew up loving books and researching to find the answers to
questions she had and this was only aided by quality parents that treated
their only daughter with respect and love.

When April was ten her mother contracted cancer and fought hard for 6 months, but passed away just before Christmas of that year. At age fifteen her father passed away in a lab accident, leaving her parentless and forced to move in with relatives. At age 18, April enrolled
in a new Berkeley campus in Manhattan and she has just recently graduated.

Now, on her own, April is using what her parents taught her to apply it to her own goals in life, to become a seeker of truth and to spread it through quality journalism about all the madness going on in their world. April's stubborn resilence is the fuel that fires her flame and her wits are what keep her alive.

Personality

Personality:

April is a kind person who wants to help the world and leave a mark upon it where people remember that she was one of the 'good' ones out there. She is a strong willed woman with a desire to expell corruption from the city and help preserve innocent lives. She's a generally very happy and positive personality to have around, though does have a bit of a temper when she's upset. She's naturally nosey and curious, and is likely to get herself into a lot of trouble due to her desire to uncover hidden truths in dangerous places.

Abilities

Click to expand.

Awareness:
Whether through biking through the City's busy streets has made April extremely aware of her surroundings, or just generally searching the city for the next news story to cover and bring to her boss for proof of her ability as an up-and-coming reporter, April is always 'watching'. She's trained herself to have a situational awareness that is paramount to achieving her daily goals. A> Don't get run over B> FIND THE STORY! (these two things are scribbled on her bathroom mirror in a black marker near the bottom edge of the mirror).

Willpower:

Both of April's parents were positive influences on her life, though her father stands out more in her mind as the true inspiration behind her desire to 'never give up' and remain Unyielding in the face of adversity.

Skills

Click to expand.

Cyclist:
April's sport of choice since she was a little girl has been bike riding. A hobby encouraged by her parents, April rode competitively through her school years and continues to ride a perosnally-modified bicycle through the streets of Manhattan to this day as she considers it to be a superior way to get around the city during peak traffic hours.

Fitness:
April spends most of her day riding on her bicycle so that alone is enough to keep her at great cardio levels. However, there's also a community gym near her home that she spends time at each night to do light weight training, which allows her to be at her best physically and mentally. "We have to take care of ourselves on every level, April. Otherwise we're cheating ourselves." She could hear her father saying this to her on many occassions.

Toughness:

One of the common exercises at the gym is a boxing ring and a mixed martial arts octagon. Since early on in college, April has participated in these training sessions and its helped improve her ability to defend herself from would-be-thugs or nare-do-wells that might wish her, or anyone around her harm. April is not master ninja... but she's capable enough in a fight with your average thug.

Resources

Antique Store:
This store used to belong to April's mother. But with both of her parents no longer living, the store has remained closed for some time. April resides in the apartment above the store and she rarely tends the store that often, but it is her place of solitude, so to speak... She'll often wander through the store if she needs a place to calm down or find peace in her life. The store, however, is located in a dangerous part of the city... but she's too stubborn to let it go.

College:
April got her Graduates Degree in Communications and Media at the Manhattan campus of NYU. She's been an A+ student her entire life and can't mentally, or physically, allow herself to be anything but the best at what she's focused on doing.

Farmhouse:
April's father left her his family's farm and farmhouse located in Northampton, Massachusetts. Its a large plot of land that has a three story tall house and a large old barn. April visited the farmhouse many times as a child and has a lot of fond memories of it... part of her wishes she could live there all the time, but she knew she'd go stir crazy in a small town setting.

Press Pass:

April is a member of the Press and comes with credentials that should allow her access to most all crime scenes/press events and potentially many other venues that the average citizen is kept out of. Flash the press badge and be waved on in!

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Nosey:
April tends to get rather curious about things around here and subsequently starts to pry into people's business, or situations unfolding around here. Her nosiness can get her into all manner of trouble and it has.

Stubborn:
April is as stubborn as they get. When she gets her mind set on a task or a goal, she refuses to quit on it until she reaches a resolution on the matter that satiates her curiosity. She rarely backs down on anything that she wants to see through to completion.

Trouble Magnet:

Wherever April seems to go to try to find a story, trouble seems to follow her. Though she doesn't intentionally mean for trouble to happen, it just seems to be the case. Its made her quite sneaky and stealthy, in order to escape the trouble... but none-the-less this is an ongoing issue for the young girl throughout her life thus far.
