About Master Splinter from TMNT
Master Splinter is many things: a wise sensei, a defensive parent, a loving father, a figure of authority, a quirky master, and a Zen philosopher. He is fully determined to train and protect his new family, no matter the cost.
His decades of ninja training allow him to always be a fierce foe, added to the fact that he is remarkably in tune with the universe. As such, he is also a very strict mentor and guardian to his sons.
Regardless, he is a very loving father who only wants what’s best for his children, willing to go to great lengths for them. His worst fear is losing his family again, which at times causes him to go overboard.
