Why would she have to be voicing an asian character?

I believe she was the influence behind Karai.
Ninjara is more popular by a fair margin, so I bet it's her.

There's also Aska and Pimiko but I think they ain't owned by Viacom.

Pretty sure Pimiko is, but Aska is still owned by Konami, to my knowledge.

Oh, I thought they meant Asian human characters, and Ninjara is Japanese. I also would like to see her appear on the show, Including Mona Lisa.

No, actually, no she didn't. Karai appeared in Mirage a few years after Lotus's appearance in the OT.

IDW is the best version of TMNT

If they make a TMNT reboot movie retelling the shredder battle/origin, I won't buy a ticket.

I'm still holding onto the hope that they'll bring Ninjara into the show at some point. That would be pure win!

Ugh, no Ninjara! We already have somebody to fill the 'dark ninja chick' role and it's Karai. What could Ninjara even bring to the table other then looking like a non-mutant dog version of Karai?

Yeah, I never understood why Ninjara was so popular. I mean... I kinda get it, but she's still a really poorly written character.

Anyways, I would like to see more Archie characters. Perhaps they'll make Armaggon a foil to Renet, that could be cool.

And now that I think about it, Cudley would fit perfectly in the Nick universe lol.

Actually, Ninjara is more then that, She was under some mind control, until the Turtles were able to break her out of it. Shes is also bad ass, who ultimately joined the Turtles in many adventures, Became romantically involved with Raph for a while.

IDW has Alopex, But she is no different to Ninjara per say.

I like Mona Lisa as it was interesting to see Raph have a love interest and it would be interesting to see nicks Raph have a love interest.

But that stuff makes her even more similar to this version of Karai!

Getting broken out of Mind Control and being enemy of Turtles- Grew up believing Shredder was her father and was enemy of the Turtles until the Turtles broke her out it.

Bad ass -Bad ass

Raph's love interest - Leo's potential love interest

Joined Turtles' side - Joined Turtles' side

Ninja - Ninja

They both fill the 'dark action girl with attitude' trope to a tee, and now knowing that Alopex is the same exact way, I'm wondering if they don't know any other way to make females interesting with out deviating from this. Maybe that's why people liked Irma. She was so normal compared to these that it made her interesting.

I'm definitely due for a TMNTA read through, it's been at least 3 years... but I'm almost positive there was no mind control going on. She was just bad for the hell of it, and enjoyed being a thief. Then one day she just randomly decided she was sorry.

That was after she met Raph, and she saw something in him, That she relates to.

If they feel the need to give Raphael a love interest, I'd rather he fall in love with someone new as oppose to a past love interest.

Yeah, that stuff trends bore me when it comes to franchises like TMNT that get rebooted a lot. It's why Casey/April bore me as a couple. I love their arc in the Mirage books but everything after that just eats screen time. Although I did think the circumstance of their initial meeting in the IDW books was cleverly written.

But Ninjara is a character we haven't seen done in animation yet, There's opportunity for that.

Ninjara is pretty cool. But damn I'm terrified of all the furry artwork it will cause.
They should really make some female characters that aren't love interests.
It's like the writers think guys can't be friends with girls without having a crush on them.

Ninjara was the first major female "animal" character in the series who stuck around. That's the only reason she was memorable because she stuck around for 80% of the Archie run.
