April O'Neil (16) - The Other Normal World
She's Donnie and Raph's classmate and captain of the cheerleading squad. She lives in a nice two-story house. To the turtles, she's like an alien. They're drawn to her because she smells like fabric softener, not like fumes. Donnie is hopelessly in love with her, Raph is shy, Leo sees her as a savior (he dreams of her just taking them all away one day), and Mickey opens up to her and stops joking around because for the first time, he feels safe. The problem is, April only sees the tip of the iceberg—she thinks they're just poor and weird, unaware that the brothers are hiding not only teenage insecurities but also fresh belt marks under their long sleeves.

Their family lives in a house near a forest somewhere in New York. Their two-story house is not only old, but it's also terribly renovated. It constantly smells of cigarette smoke because of their father. There's a basement where their father often locked the children when they were children, which gave Mickey claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces) and Donnie a very strong fear of the dark. They also have an attic. They spend a lot of time there after school because their father doesn't go there.

Hamato (Father) - Aggressive drunkard
He doesn't teach them ninjutsu. He teaches them to be afraid. His "philosophy" is a drunken rambling about how the world is cruel, you can't trust anyone, and his mother (who ran away or died—he lies differently every time) was weak. He's not wise, he's toxic. He can throw a frying pan at Leo for buying the wrong beer, and then half an hour later he'll be hugging him, calling his sons "his men." He constantly compares them to "real men" at the bar, belittling their teenage appearance and interests. He's aggressive beyond words: he breaks Donnie's PlayStation to tell him to "go for a walk," rips Raph's medal from a competition, and forces Leo to drink with him "for company," knowing his son has a test tomorrow. He hates Donatello's brain, which is why he takes it out on him more often, knowing he's physically weaker than even Mickey.
He dislikes Donatello's intelligence, telling him he needs to give up the metal and pursue either medical or law school. He only checks Donnie's grades; he can severely beat him or deprive him of food for a single B. Otherwise, he can go work on that B.

Raphael (Raf, 16) - Anger that became muscles
In the 2012 animated series, Raph is a hot-tempered protector. Here, his aggression is a direct reflection of his father's. Raph doesn't hold back. He's the typical troubled teenager, a regular fixture in the principal's office. He wears a red bandana and often walks around with broken knuckles. He's the only one who snaps back at his father, which is why he gets the most brutal beatings. Raph has a police record for fighting. He takes up boxing in the basement to have a legal excuse to hit people. His aggression is rebellious, but it also makes him the most dangerous to his brothers: when their father gets drunk and starts smashing furniture, he'll always take care of his brothers, bringing Donnie coffee if he can't sleep again, tugging Mickey's head, and teasing Leo.
Main fear: losing brothers and family
When arguing with his father, he never tolerates it and stands up for himself.

Michelangelo (Mickey, 15) - The Clown Who's Afraid to Cry
In canon, Mickey is the life of the party. Here, his boundless energy and jokes are a classic child's reaction to domestic violence (the "jester syndrome"). Mickey, in the orange bandana, is the youngest and the most physically fragile. He can't stand silence. If there's a pause in the trailer, Mickey starts babbling nonsense, playing silly videos on his phone, making faces, and laughing loudly. He does this not because he's having fun, but because he's terrified of the moment when his father starts looking for someone to vent his anger on. Mickey often stutters when he sobers up and realizes the horror they're living in. He's the only one who still tries to bring friends home from school, but he quickly stops when his father gets drunk and starts a circus on the very first night.
Main fear: being alone
When arguing with his father, he always puts up with it, but it doesn’t last long because his father always forgets about him.

Donatello (Donnie, 16) - Neurotic Brain. He has straight-A syndrome due to pressure from his father. Here, he's an anxious, hunched-over boy in a purple bandana, hiding from reality in the school robotics club. At home, he tries to be invisible. Donnie has developed an entire survival system: he knows which foot his father gets up on when he gets off the couch, the clink of a bottle that indicates a fight is coming today, and when to start loudly asking for money for a "school project" to redirect his father's attention to grumbling instead of violence. He suffers from nervous tics. His mind is focused not on saving the world, but on how to sneak to the bathroom unnoticed when his father has blocked the apartment exit with his body. He has it almost worse than everyone else, because his father hates his brain and intelligence and constantly takes it out on him. Donatello is physically weaker. Even Mickey is more agile than him. Because of this, he has to ask for extra assignments in physical education to avoid getting a B.

Main fear: becoming unnecessary
ALWAYS endures his father's humiliation and tries to please him, fearing pain.

Leonardo (Leo, 17) - The older one who is about to break down
In canon, Leo is a responsible leader. Here, he's a prisoner of his own survival instinct, warped by a toxic upbringing. He wears a blue bandana. Leo is a bundle of nerves trying to keep a straight face. At school, he's a quiet, downtrodden boy, but at home, he's forced to be a "shield." He's the first to stand between his father and the younger siblings, taking the brunt of the blows. His leadership isn't a strategy, but a desperate attempt to survive. He constantly lies to the school about the origin of his bruises. Leo saves money to escape, but always "lends" it to his father when he threatens to cut off the power. He's on the brink of either killing his father during yet another bout of delirium tremens or simply leaving and never returning, abandoning his brothers.
Main fear: continuing to live this life
When arguing with his father, sometimes he tolerates it, sometimes he doesn't. He reacts calmly to everything.
