On October 1997 "Venus' Venerations" were added to the website, coupled with four tremendously excited Ninja Turtles each expressing their feelings on the new member of their team. Starting in 1996 the Turtles would keep journal entries about their adventures in a shared universe with characters from Mirage continuity, Archie comics, and the cartoons all together. On the official website a "second season" of sorts was formed in the letters section. This was done by the writers so as not to eliminate the possibility of a romantic relationship between Venus and one of the four male turtles (with hints leading primarily to the rebellious, quick-tempered Raphael and/or the stalwart, even-keeled leader Leonardo).Īfter the cancellation of the show, Venus' adventures with the TMNT continued for several years.

It was established early on in the series that while the four turtles were raised as brothers, none of them (including Venus) were biologically related. While proficient in fighting techniques, Venus was not trained in Ninjutsu like her brothers in battle, she would use mystical orbs to various different effects. During the show, Venus was portrayed as blissfully ignorant of some parts of Western life and culture and at times, equally ignorant of life in general.
Venus seemed to have lived a sheltered life in China. This earned her the nickname of Venus de Milo after the famous statue, mimicking the other Turtles' artist namesakes. After the turtles win the battle, the female turtle takes the statue with her to the lair. In the struggle, a statue of a woman is damaged with her arms broken off. To celebrate their seeming victory, the five turtles and Splinter went for a picnic in the park but were attacked by Dragons. Unbeknownst to her, the Dragons used this opportunity to enter the physical world. After helping the turtles put an end to the Shredder and the Foot Clan, she then led them on a dream walk to rescue their Master's spirit. The female turtle traveled to New York, where she encountered the four Ninja Turtles watching over the body of their Master, whose spirit was trapped in the realm of dreams. On his deathbed, I Chung revealed to the female turtle her true origin and told her that her place was in New York. The dragons eventually crossed over into the realm of dreams, attacking I Chung and kidnapping Splinter's spirit. It was I Chung's purpose to make sure that the Dragons could never escape the mirror. I Chung also had in his possession a glass mirror, within which were trapped humanoid Dragons. Both of them swapped stories of their turtles but chose to keep this a secret from the turtles themselves until the time was right. He also trained the turtle in the art of Shinobi.Īpparently, I Chung would on occasion travel the realm of dreams where he would encounter Splinter. I Chung took the turtle with him to China where he raised her as a daughter and named her Mei Pieh Chi. Somehow making her way to Chinatown, she was discovered by a shinobi magician called I Chung. When Splinter gathered up all the turtles, he accidentally left Venus behind. Venus was one of the five turtles that were exposed to mutagen in the sewers.
