□ Name: Hamato Michelangelo aka "Mikey"
□ Journal: dr_prankenstein_md
□ Series: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012
□ Canon point: End of Season 2
□ History: here and here
□ Personality:
Out of all the turtles, Michelangelo is by far the most accepting and easy going. He has a tendency to be rather manic and excitable in nearly any situation, most of the time to the frustration of his brothers. He's the posterturtle for ADHD, complete with difficulties learning and retaining information. It is possible for him to force himself to focus, like when he was the only one able to finish Donatello's attempt at creating an antidote before mutant wasp venom turned him into a zombie. Unfortunately, it doesn't come at all natural to him and leaves him burnt out afterwards.

Mikey clearly has a learning disability, which has left him ignorant of some commonly known facts, though it's just as likely that he may have forgotten a lot of what he's learned. When it comes to book-smarts he is severely lacking and doesn't seem to have any interest in changing that fact. His brothers or father don't make any effort to try and change him, as they all have their own strengths and challenges.

While he does come off as being downright stupid at times, it doesn't mean he's completely incompetent. In ninjutsu he is just as skilled as his brothers. His sensei, Splinter, has said he has the most potential out of them all. He just lacks focus and forethought. What makes him a difficult opponent to beat is the fact that he fights without thinking, making him unpredictable. Unless someone tells him to fight without thinking, then he can't help but think about it.

Another notable thing about Mikey is his imagination. Whenever they run into a new villain or Donnie creates a new gadget, Mikey is the one that names it. In fact he gets upset if someone names something without him. He's always cracking jokes and coming up with wild stories. Unfortunately, he seems to honestly believe these stories to be real, which makes it hard for his brothers to believe him when he's trying to warn them about something important. Whether or not it's all part of some elaborate prank or if he's actually suffering from some sort of dementia remains to be seen.

He enjoys spending his free time listening to music or playing video games, and more recently the four have taken up tabletop gaming and LARPing. Mikey has taken it upon himself to be the cook of the family, and after they started going to the surface his culinary expertise has expanded beyond attempting to use algea in different ways. Most of the time the others don't seem to have a problem with his cooking, but once in a while he comes up with something that nobody but him would touch.

This is also the guy who'll eat moldy, lint covered pizza he pulled out from under the couch and not blink an eye. In fact, he's kind of dubious when it comes to hygiene all around.

All of them have their own ways of dealing with stress. Over eating tends to be his main go to when something is bothering him, often complaining about being hungry when things are getting hectic. Michelangelo is the kind of guy that wears his heart on his sleeve. It's easy to tell what he's feeling by looking at him most of the time. While he tries let things roll off his back as much as possible, he tends to take a lot of things to heart, especially if it's coming from his brothers. He even went so far as to try and use a mutagen-based cream he found in Donnie's lab because he misread the label. It ended up nearly killing him even though all he wanted was to be better so his brothers would be proud of him for once.

He also seems to be more attune with how people are feeling, showing a degree of empathy the others lack. Mikey can be very affectionate, hugging and nuzzling up to his brothers whenever the mood strikes, or when they (or he) need it. He was even able to calm the raging Leatherhead, a giant mutant alligator, even going so far as to curl up with him while he was unconscious. When Raphael was on the verge of a mental breakdown, Michelangelo was the one to bring him back from it, holding on to him until he was able to calm down, then staying close by.

On occasion he's even managed to surprise them, pulling completely lucid words of wisdom out of nowhere that they can't deny are not only relevant but impressive. Despite their rough patches, Mikey remains loyal to his friends and family. They look out for each other and take care of each other when they need it, also kick each other in the ass when they need it too.

Despite all his challenges, Mikey has continuously proven himself to be more than a capable, valued member of the team. As well as a loving, if not free spirited, brother.
