Description
So I thought I'd create a series of images that follow the timeline of Yoko's life. Because I can. Heh.NOTE TO THE ONES NOT IN THE FANDOM: Yoko is a character that I'm using in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles roleplay, so you will be finding aspects of that peppered into her backstory. Just thought I'd warn you!
And here's the first one. Her original backstory was slightly changed to fit in better with the 2K3 universe and accommodate Ryuu's existence.
Yoko's from an alternate faniverse where Hamato Yoshi and Tang Shen actually had a baby. She was born to them out of wedlock although Yoshi already made a promise to marry Tang Shen.
The night that Yukie Mashimi murdered Tang Shen in a jealous rage, he took Yoko with the intention of throwing her in the river. However, at the last minute he regained his senses and hesitated. He brought her back with him to the Foot Headquarters, still undecided whether he should kill Yoshi's child, or if he should raise Tang Shen's daughter as if he had fathered her.
Meanwhile, Yoshi and the Ancient One found Yoko's baby blanket by the river, tattered and torn. They believed that she has indeed been fed to the crocodiles.
Yoshi stormed the Foot Headquarters where he faced and killed Mashimi to avenge his family before Mashimi could explain to anybody in the Foot about the baby. They found Yoko in his quarters as she was crying. No one knew who this baby was, or if it was even Mashimi's. She had the name "Yoko" monogrammed on her clothes but no family name. Nevertheless, they gave her Mashimi's surname and took her into the clan. And so she begins her life as Yukie Yoko.

Can you make one where Yoshi raised and trained the mutating Splinter and Turtles?

I have had similar thoughts about them having a child and how it would be able to play into the 2003 series. I am glad to know I am not the only one and lovely picture. Now in the 2012 series I am thinking on a story for Miwa aas well and have pic for her in my gallery.

Well, Yoshi and Shen are gone, but it would get better for Yoko eventually..
Although since she's a villain, it's inevitable that things will go bad for her again. Because that's what usually happens to villains T_T

Hard to bear!
With no one to love you you're going nowhere!
Sorry. Bad habit of bursting into song whenever something reminds me of a lyric XD
I wonder what the psychological explanation is regarding people who love to torture their OC's. Haha!

Thanks!! I had a slightly different backstory for her that fit in with the comic and movie origins (with Oroku Saki being human and being the one in love with Tang Shen). And then "A Story of Master Yoshi" came up in Season 4 of 2k3 and I was like FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU-
But it just needed some minor tweaks

that sounds good too
i think its cause there are so many different universes its hard to make an OC compatible to it. but if you give an OC a good base, then its fun making a story for him/her. that seems like what you've done, its really cool

Tell me about it. I love that the turtles' story is still going and growing and all, but I started my fan-world-building back at the end of the second movie. So much stuff needs reworking!
I'm glad Yoko's origin story tweaks were simple.

Haha, I know, and now Nickelodeon is gonna create another universe that will eff ours up again! XD
The worst part of the retweaking was trying to figure out how to put Yoko in the Foot Clan in the new continuum. In the old story it was easy because Yoshi was already dead. But in 2K3, Shredder freaking let him live for a while! Gragh.
80's TMNT was easiest. She was Yoshi's daughter who he left behind in Japan with the Foot Clan and now she followed him to New York because the Foot had gone bad. YAY. Hey, I was a kid. I wasn't capable of complicated storylines yet XD

LOL. I don't think anyone would hold childhood fan-stories against you. I think you get mad props for being a girl who didn't automatically make 4 turtle sisters. (Lord knows I did it ).
I think there's a fangirl gene that's triggered when you start writing for TMNT. A dominant "create 4 turtle girls" gene.
Kudos for being a recessive.

Hahahaha! Four turtle girls! That's funny! It actually never crossed my mind. Mostly because I didn't really think of "partnering" them with anyone, I just wanted to join in on the adventure! I did have a crush on the wise-cracking Raphael, though, but even then I guess I was just too much of a kid to really make anything romantic, haha.

LOL, that's amazing. You really can't turn around in OC-land without bumping into Leah, Michelle, Donna, and Raphaela/Rachel. (And I wish I could claim that I was a unique snowflake who named her girls something else, but at the age of 8, I was sure I was a creative genius).
It's kinda cool, actually. I've had conversations with amazing TMNT writers who will blushingly admit, they did it too. I have so much shame-love for femme-turtle quadruplets, you don't know.

DOooo eeet! It's never too late. It's a freakin' rite of passage!
I spent my first 3 years in the online fandom writing about sets of femme-turtles or just forcing the guys to cross dress. (My first 4 femme-turtles may have been when I was 8, but I didn't really outgrow it until well after I discovered the online fandom).

She's a really great OC with an interesting back story Maybe it's a nice twist for the turtles to never find out she's Yoshi's

yapi In reply to prefight-DONUT [2010-02-28 17:24:34 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! I'm glad you think so ^^
It's a plot device that helps her transition from bad guy to good guy though. I originally intended for her to end up with Raphael, but with Ryuu now in the mix (he was just recently added into her story when :devwarriorking4ver: and I merged our characters' stories together), it almost seems like a shame to turn her over to the good guys!
I'm thinking maybe in the end, she and Raph just couldn't make it work because she has way too many issues, and ends up with no one. Oh why do I love torturing my OC's

I've always had bits and pieces of her story floating around in my head but I never bothered to write the plot down properly so everything's all a primordial soup of ideas
