Raphael x OC

Rosemarie Bruno is a teenage, Italian-American figure skater that moved to Manhattan with her brother to chase her passion under the tutelage of Coach Linda Christey and escape the memories of her emotionally abusive parents. However, when a walk home turns awry and rumors of Christey drugging students are unveiled, Rose finds herself in a bitter and torn path of chasing a dream or finding safety.

Raphael Hamato is a turtle in shambles. He puts on a faux appearance of bravery and toxic confidence, but inside, he wishes that his brothers could see his worry and fears. The Shredder's power has grown, and memories of a little girl calling his name plague his dreams.

When Rose and Raph's paths collide, their lives intertwine in a way they could've never imagined. Thrown into the worlds of terror and abuse, will either teenager make it through?
