Not an exact Mary Sue, but it's coming close to it if you ask me...

Did you selectively read that?
* She's exceptionally talented in an implausibly wide variety of areas
- So...her psychic powers and being a seemingly quick learner in Ninjitsu is a "wide variety of areas"? That's 2...2 whole things...

* may possess skills that are rare or nonexistent in the canon setting.
- I might give you this one...not sure who aside from April and maybe the Rat King have any psychic powers.

* She has an unusual and dramatic Back Story.
- Not really unique to Nick April. Mirage April was a living drawing. And to be honest we're getting only hints of her back story. Not sure yet how dramatic it is.

* quick to adopt her as one of their True Companions
- All Aprils and Caseys fall pretty hard into this one. Has there ever been a universe where those 2 aren't practically the 5th and 6th Turtle, with no real worry about whether or not they're reveal the Turtles? Well...maybe Fred Wolf Casey...

* canon characters are quickly reduced to awestruck cheerleaders, watching from the sidelines as Mary Sue outstrips them in their areas of expertise
- I added a little to this, because it seems disprove April as a Mary Sue because she hasn't, as of now, out shined the boys. Don is awestruck because of the crush, not because April is out smarting or out ninjaing him...

Aside from those things she's not exotically beautiful and I'm pretty sure she's not the idealized Ciro....or whom ever else. She might be an idealized female so that girls have a strong capable character, but she's still in training...heck the Turtles flat tell her she's not ready several times, and she complicates the mission because she refuses to listen. Not a Mary Sue trait. They are generally perfect in all actions.
