Rayven

this is................Sort of a new Look, I gave her wider hips than normal, and I tried going a little more animal in the face than i did before.  The obvious difference is in the wings; after watching Lucasfilm's "Strange Magic" I decided to try a different way of having her wings fold to her back, I have to say, i like this way better.

Granted they were butterfly-winged Fairies in that movie and not a Mutated Anthro fashioned to look like a Griffon, but still, artistically it looks better, asthetically it's more pleasing to the eyes, plus it leaves me more room to work with the rest of her body.

Leo's main love interest in my TMNT AU universe based on the Brandon Auman Short "Turtles take time and space"

I Picked her as Leo's love interest, namely because she's my first OC ever for TMNT from way back when i was a 10 year old brat.  Now i'm a 30+ year old brat (lol) a little more knowledgable as to what makes a character a Bad Mary-sue versus an Acceptable one.

Yes there are acceptable ones believe it or not, the Acceptable ones are where you make a character according to the rules set for the series/Comic/Game/Movie you're a fan of, even if it's Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu, if it follows the franchise's rules, then it's an acception.

if it flies off the handle and is mostly Self-serving as a character based on whatever you're a fan of, then it's the bad Mary-sue/Gary-stu character and should be killed with fire.

Rayven, i admit, is a little Mary-Sue-ish, i made her specifically to be Leo's Match as a love-interest; She leads her team of female mutants, is responsible for their safety, But being part lion is also a naturally Lax leader, as long as she knows everyone is safe she chills, she doesn't devote 23 hours of her day to training like a certain Leonardo we all know.

and yes, that chill attitude is meant to calm Leo's tight-assed attitude, and yes, that is Mary-sue-ish, but it's the good kind, My take on Talen as a TMNT character follows the TMNT franchise's rules, as within the TMNT universe there's other characters that are as much like Leo as .............well.......Leo is like Leo.

Usagi Yojimbo (Miyamoto Usagi) Is one, Officer Longer, AKA, Nobody is another, there's a female super hero in the Image comics that's like him too, i forgot her name though.  So, by the rules of the TMNT universe, Talen fits in the role i gave her pertaining to TMNT as a whole.

She's Leo's love interest in the AU i'm developing for the Turtles based on the Brandon Auman Short, but it wasn't love at first sight.  Oh he was polite with her from the start, he was raised right by splinter to be so afterall. But he still erred on the side of caution until Don confirmed they were low-jacked and removed Baxter's Pet-chips from her and her sisters' necks to ensure they'd be safe from being found.

there were also points where Rayven's relaxed attitude tended to get on Leo's nerves in the beginning, but over time, he realized she only relaxed when they were at home, safe and out of danger, unlike a certain Michelangelo that kicks back all the time both in battle and off battle.  

when she's in a fight though, you'd swear he was watching himself from the inside out, or outside in, seeing her in battle, strategizing on the fly, setting places for everyone mid-battle where they fit best in their fights and getting everyone out alive.  Pure Poetry to him

the rest is history

Till next time
