How would you fix April O'Neil?

All of the suggestions here are spot-on. There really hasn't been enough development of April outside of Super Spechul Kraang Powers and Love Interest Du Jour. I'd like to know who she is as a person - what makes her tick. I want to see her being a friend to the Turtles, instead of always a burden who needs rescuing. Let her crack a joke every now and then. Let her be more of a surrogate daughter to Splinter. I feel like she takes a lot from the team and doesn't give much back.

I also think it'd help if they actually gave her some down-sides to her powers. One could argue that yes, she has to deal with living in the sewers at times, being in danger and being without a father but IMO that doesn't cut it - that's what we've already got and it's not working.
