OT April a tomboy?

[Sage Ninja]

Would you describe OT April as being a tom boy in the show? She didn't dress in a particualrly feminine way and she had no problems getting her hands dirty doing rough stuff and she didn't mind jumping into the sewers or following the turtles on their adventures or jumping into the fray of a battle to get her story with the turtles or doing the tough boyish stuff to help the turtles out, like driving or playing back up with Splinter to help execute a plane.

And she also seemed to have some pretty ungirly talents too for the time period the show came on in. She could ride a motorcycle, and fly a helecopter all by her self and figure out heavy machinary. In one episode she figured out a a crate lift and helped the turtles get their van free from a bunch of boxes that had fallen on them. And in another episode she apparently knew how repair the rutters on a her helicopter all by her self.

Tomboy? People still use that word? 

Nah, I'd say she was someone who was self sufficient.
