A general rule of thumb for any type of story telling media is to not have more than five main characters. Often, these five are separated into categories, the leader, the smart one, the hothead, the Woman, and finally, the dumb one. While the others are given chances to express their talents and skills in carefully planned arcs, the dumb one is often neglected. No, the dumb one is meant to entertain, he makes a mistake and you are to laugh at it. He is not allowed to have a moment of realization, not given the chance to prove himself, not allowed to be more than the dumb one. A joke. The unwilling jester meant to make his blind peers look smarter, clever, at the expense of his pride and shame. Michelangelo, youngest ninja turtle, is Doing Just Fine. He means it. The teasing words of his brothers doesn't feel like scalding water against his skin, thank you very much. He Doesn't feel hurt when they brush him off as childish and immature, when they refuse to listen. And he Absolutely Does Not need any help because he doesn't have any problems. He doesn't feel bad. He doesn't really feel anything at all. Mikey can't exactly say there's anything wrong when he can't identify it, but how can he ignore his inner world falling to pieces and his mental health declining? Well, apparently the kid on the computer can relate to that.

How do you fight an enemy who wears your brother's face? ​Mikey is drowning in a depression his brothers can't see. When frustration boils over into a devastating argument, he runs into the night, looking for escape. Instead, he finds the Foot Clan.

Through brutal reconditioning, the Foot systematically erases who he was, rebuilding him into a loyal, merciless soldier. Weaponized against his own flesh and blood, Mikey becomes the Foot's cruelest masterpiece, leaving his brothers to face the ultimate horror: fighting to survive the brother they failed to save.

The providers of nickeloden are the original owners. Mikey's brothers want him to smile again. But, it never happens. As they try, but never knew the truth. The young one has been hiding something from his brothers from all these years just to make him HAPPY. the smile fades from him. His brothers smiled fades. All mikey ever knew was ' happiness is a lie'

Mikey couldn't take it anymore. When everything got to much for him he sometimes started hiding in a mask of happiness to keep being like he always was. It's no wonder his brothers didn't notice a thing. Lately he's been putting up his mask more and more. But now... He can't take it off anymore. He's become a fake, a liar, an empty version of who he used to be while the his real self is locked inside. How will Mikey take back control? How will he stop hiding in his mask? And what was he gonna do now that every body else starts to notice somethings off? And what was that voice in his mind? I DO NOT OWN TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES
