You Get To Meet All Sorts In This Line Of Work

 Continuing the TMNS idea, I'll throw out some character details.

 

tell me about the news reporter lady they are friends with

 

Every good team of mutant heroes needs a reliable human ally, so let me introduce:

Cassidy “Cass” Lane – Investigative Reporter

Cassidy Lane is a fearless, street-smart journalist working for Channel 6 News. She’s in her mid-20s, sharp-witted, and always chasing the next big scoop—sometimes into places she shouldn’t be. While covering a string of bizarre crimes in the city’s parks, she accidentally discovered the Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirrels during a late-night chase involving their nemesis, Dr. Ratticus.

Why They’re Friends:

• At first, she was shocked by talking, ninja-trained squirrels, but after they saved her from the Verminion Horde, she quickly warmed up to them.
• She helps them by uncovering secrets, hacking into news databases, and exposing corruption that threatens their home.
• They, in turn, protect her when she gets in over her head with criminals, mutants, and mad scientists.

Personality & Skills:

• Clever & Determined – Won’t stop until she gets the truth.
• Tech-Savvy – Uses gadgets, cameras, and drones to gather intel.
• Quick on Her Feet – Good at escaping trouble (when the squirrels aren’t around).
• Signature Look – Wears a red leather jacket, carries a messenger bag full of reporter gear, and has auburn hair often tied in a ponytail.

She serves as their link to the human world and sometimes even sneaks them information through coded messages in her news reports.
