The thing about normal people is that in an action cartoon, when **** gets real, they have to either stay the hell out of the way, or become victims. You can't have it both ways. Can't have April be normal.... and then take ninja training. It's one of the other. Ninjitsu isn't also the kind of thing any random person can just up and start practicing either. She's lucky she wasn't horribly out of shape when she met the Turtles.
.I mean, one solution if having April be some kind of martial arts fighter before she met the turtles, but many would complain about the change. And it would also feel like TMNT and April, and the show is supposed to be about the turtles.
April sorta exists to introduce us to the turtles and give them an excuse to spill their origin story. After that, it's hard to find what else to do with her character.
