❥ Folkmore Roles & Attributes
Skills: Casey is a highly skilled martial artist who is specifically trained in the ninja arts. She is also proficient with a number of bladed weapons.
Canon Abilities: She has no special abilities to speak of
Role: Legend
Role Qualities/Attributes: She will have permanent wings and eye colors changing with emotions, as well as enhanced strength/durability/pain tolerance and the sixth sense for others in need.
Role Reasoning: Even though Casey acted as a villain for most of canon, the series ended just as Casey turned on her master and switched sides. She only made a cameo in The Movie, which indicated that she was continuing to do good and had become friends with April. I would like to explore Casey's journey from being a proud villain to being a hero, starting from right after the series finale. So being a Legend feels like a good way to put a spotlight on her new role, which she has not fully grown into yet. This role will inspire her and urge her onward on her path, but it will also challenge her, as she is used to approaching everything as a member of the Foot Clan. Through this journey, Casey will learn more about what it actually means to be a hero and what kind of hero she truly wants to be. Despite her heroic journey, I set nothing in stone, as I do also like the possibility of a Legend falling and becoming a Myth. I simply want to continue developing Casey's character and see where it organically goes.
❥ Personality
Option 1:
Casey Jones is known for her intensity. She is especially intense with her words, as she will often declare things loudly (and typically with an excessive formality), although she is still capable of speaking more casually and at a more normal volume. Still, Casey can be quick to anger and can be quite petty when things don't go as she seeks. She is also generally very ridiculous and does not often think things through, as she once set a plan into motion to take over the world by using the selling of brownies through girl scouts as a way to slowly seize control of world leaders and other important figures, only to break into tears when she realized her plan would take many years to actually bear fruit.
Generally, Casey has a propensity for violence and a love of destruction, which she mostly channels into martial arts. It has also led her to work for those who seek destruction and domination, in the form of the Foot Clan and Shredder. As a member of the Foot Clan, she showed both dedicated loyalty as a footsoldier and her own ambitions to be in control. While she has turned on her masters (Foot Lieutenant and Foot Brute) during her own bids for domination, she ultimately had a soft spot for them, as she wanted to help them when they were hurt, only for the Shredder to force her to leave them behind.
In a sense, Shredder represents everything Casey thought she wanted as a force of senseless destruction, but working with him caused her to realize that there was a part of her that cared for people. Splinter convinced her to appeal to that part of herself, which led her to turn on the Shredder at the final hour. This marks the beginning of a new chapter in Casey's life, as she now accepts her former enemies (the Turtles, Splinter and April) as her friends, even inviting them to call her by her nickname of 'Casey'. While she originally sought to be a destroyer, now she seeks to be a protector of the weak., While Shredder was one influence on her, Splinter was too, as she became a fan of his alter ego Lou Jitsu's films from her first appearance. Lou Jitsu has inspired her as a fighter, while Splinter slowly got through to her as a positive mentor figure. He also helped her to realize her similarities to April O'Neill, in how stubborn and determined they both were even in the face of constant failure.
This all leads to Casey's new path, as she seeks to use her fighting power in positive ways, primarily for the sake of protecting others and defeating evil. At the moment, she seeks to do so through continuing her constant training and approaching this as she would everything else, although she still has a mindset fostered by her time in the Foot Clan of thinking of the whole as being more important than individuals and thinking that total destruction (or death) of enemies is the way to go. Casey is now determined to become a hero, but she is still learning what it means to actually be a hero.
