A03: HardyGal

Hello! My name is [Insert French name here] [Insert Hebrew name here] [Insert German surname here]. But you can call me HardyGal. Presbyterian Christian, the eldest out of four kids, ENFJ, and obsessor of Transformers. I've been lurking about Fanfiction dot Net as a guest, keeping my own fanfictions to myself, but now I emerge, tentative, but enthusiastic.

I call myself HardyGal because of my childhood obsession with all things Hardy Boys. From the original books, to the Casefiles, to the 1970s TV show, to the Undercover Brothers series, my very first fandom obsession was the Hardy Boys. It's because of this obsession that I even heard of fanfiction.

Of course, now I have other obsessions. My most prominent obsession is Transformers. From the 1980s cartoon, to Beast Wars, Animated, Prime, Robots in Disguise 2015, comics, and even the Bay movies, I can't help but love it all. No matter what else I may be interested in, I always end up back here. This is my home fandom.

On Shipping and Romance: I enjoy shipping as much as the… average person. However, I prefer bromance over romance. Sure, I do support a few ships, but unless the ship is canon, you are highly unlikely to see me writing any fanfictions focusing on said ships. Even in regular (non-shippy) fics, I am more likely to write the respective characters as they typically interact in their respective medias. So if you enjoy romance, that's fine. Just don't expect to find much of it here.

Ships I Actively Support:

If a ship is not on this list, I either A) feel indifferent about it, B) like it but I don't feel strongly about it, or C) I DO NOT SHIP IT. If you're wondering whether or not I'll write any fics focusing on these ships, read above. And if you don't support these ships, that is absolutely fine.

Fanfics I've Published:

Opposites …Or Not- A Hetalia oneshot. England receives an unexpected and unwelcome visitor. Just a little analytical writing regarding England and his 2P counterpart, and how I view 2P England to be like.

The Aftermath of One Hundred Swords- A Danganronpa fic, currently in progress. TBA

Stay in the Dark- A Transformers Prime oneshot. A 'missing scene' from episode Inside Job, focusing on what was going on in Smokescreen's mind while Megatron was patched into it.

Forever a Rebellious Streak- A Transformers Animated oneshot. The war is over again, but the Decepticons won this time. Megatron has allowed the Autobots to remain on Cybertron and coexist with the Decepticons to the best of their abilities. But certain Autobots, particularly those who fought against the returning warlord, are not so lucky.

365 Drabbles - Smokescreen, Knock Out, and Bumblebee- A Transformers Prime/Robots in Disguise 2015 drabble series, completed. One drabble written everyday for an entire year, and all of them are either about Smokescreen, Knock Out, or Bumblebee. Genre varies from drama, to humor, to angst. Updated every week with 7 new drabbles, with focus on each respective character alternating every four weeks.

America's Hero- A Hetalia/Captain America crossover oneshot. Following the humiliating tour performance on the war front, an enthusiastic and strangely familiar young officer is eager to show Steve just how important Captain America really is. This was written as special project for American Independence Day.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012: Hamato Andrea- A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) fic, discontinued. Basically, it's TMNT 2012 with an added character. That character is Hamato Andrea, the turtles' extremely teasing older sister. This fic is kind of a nostalgic one of mine and it makes me so happy to see the fans its gained, but it's rather poorly written and I think there are better fics to be investing in, so I have officially discontinued it.

Tickle Target- A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) oneshot. It's nothing more than a bit of brotherly fluffiness and playfulness between the turtles as Leonardo finds himself unable to defend against his little brothers' best weapon: tickling.

Acceptance and Hope- A Transformers oneshot that I wrote for a project. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker have entered the Autobot ranks, but they aren't exactly greeted with open arms. After all, Megatron was once a gladiator too. Who knows though? Maybe one Autobot is willing to see past their past.

Welcome Off the Team- A Young Justice oneshot. Red Arrow is a day away from joining the League, but the Team has their own ceremony in mind for him.

"War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend…" ~ Faramir, The Two Towers, Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien

"All commands will come through the headphones. Once you're given the order to put on the headphones, do not remove them under any circumstances. If you do, you may die a gruesome and horrible death. Thank you for your attention and have a nice day." ~ Walter Bishop, Of Human Action, Fringe

"You know, if there was a job where you earned thousands of dollars every time you pooped on the citizens below, the earth would be drowned in shit." ~ Mark Edward Fishbach (Markiplier)

"Let there be wicked kings and beheadings, battles and dungeons, giants and dragon, and let villains be soundly killed at the end of each book. It would be nice if no little boy in bed, hearing, or thinking he hears, a sound were ever at all frightened. But if he is going to be frightened, I think it better that he should think of giants and dragons than merely of burglars. And I think St. George, or any bright champion in armor, is a better comfort than the idea of the police." ~ C.S. Lewis

"I'd forgotten not all victories are about saving the universe." ~ Rory Williams, The God Complex, Doctor Who

"You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful, and then you actually talk to them, and five minutes later they're as dull as a brick? Then there's other people, when you meet them you think, "Not bad, they're ok." And then you get to know them and... and their face just sort of becomes them. Like their personality is written all over it. And they just… turn into something so beautiful. Rory's the most beautiful man I've ever met." ~ Amy Pond, The Girl Who Waited, Doctor Who

"There's so many stories where some brave hero decides to give their life to save the day. And because of their sacrifice, the good guys win, the survivors all cheer, and everybody lives happily ever after. But the hero... never gets to see that ending. They'll never know if their sacrifice actually made a difference. They'll never know if the day was really saved. In the end... they just have to have faith. ...Ain't that a b*ch?" ~ Epsilon/Church, The End, Red vs. Blue

"The world is such a scary place. Sometimes it feels like it's nothing but anger. And violence. And hurt. It can be terrifying when you're out there in it. But if you know where to look for it, the world also has warmth. And love. And forgiveness. The world has joy in it. When you find a place that allows you to experience that joy - when you find people that make you feel safe, and loved, like you belong - you don't leave it. You fight for it." ~ Myka Bering, Trials, Warehouse 13

"Every time you see them happy, you remember how sad they're going to be. And it breaks your heart. Because what's the point in them being happy now if they're going to be sad later? The answer is, of course, because they are going to be sad later." ~ The Doctor; The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe; Doctor Who

"But sometimes you will lose a friend. Sometimes even your best friend. Maybe you grow apart. Maybe you get into a fight. Maybe they're destroyed in a electromagnetic pulse. These things happen. It's just a sad, sad, sad, sad, saaaaaaaaaaaad, sad, sad, sad part of life. But y'know... I think the very best thing about friends - well, the thing that most people forget about, anyways - is that no matter how many friends you do lose, you can always make more. And... that's pretty neat." ~ Michael J. Caboose, Caboose's Guide to Making Friends, Red vs. Blue

"Sometimes there are no words, no clever quotes to neatly sum up what's happened that day. Sometimes you do everything right, everything exactly right and you still feel like you have failed. Did it need to end that way? Could something have been done to prevent the tragedy in the first place? … Like I said, sometimes there are no words, no clever quotes to neatly sum up what's happened that day. Sometimes the day just… ends." ~ Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner, …And Back, Criminal Minds

So, this is the character profile for my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) OC. Hopefully it'll give you more insight on her.

Full name: Hamato Andrea

Nickname: Andi

Parent(s): Splinter/Hamato Yoshi

Siblings: Hamato Leonardo, Hamato Raphael, Hamato Donatello, Hamato Michelangelo

Love interest: She has a mild crush on Casey Jones

Age: 15, like her brothers

Height: 5'5

Mask color: Pink

Species: Anthropomorphic turtle

Hair: Unlike other female turtle OCs, Andrea does not have hair (ok, but if she did, it would be blond)

Eye color: Golden hazel

Personality: Though not the leader, Andi's the oldest and she enjoys reminding her brothers of this, sometimes claiming leadership as the oldest when Leo isn't around to lead. She tends to call all her brothers by their full names, sometimes accompanied by 'my dear'. Andrea often tells her brothers to cut each other some slack, but is never beyond teasing herself. But she will become protective of them if she senses they're hurt. Andrea absolutely hates sexism. She is easily squeamish about a few things (eg. Snakeweed's regeneration). She tends to talk while fighting, taunting her opponent when confident, or shouting at them when angry. Andi is rather perky, but also slightly high strung.

Andi is easily angry about a few things. She doesn't take insults well. If an enemy hurts any of her brothers, she'll attack them without a thought. Unless she doesn't want to hurt the enemy; Andrea's fear is needing to protect her brothers from someone she doesn't want to hurt, such as Leatherhead, Master Splinter, or even themselves, and either failing to protect, or needing to take down any of the afore mentioned.

If Andi loses a fight while with the team, she is sometimes confident they'll get their opponent back. But if she loses a solo fight, she questions her abilities to defeat the opponent. She also sometimes questions her value to the team as the 'fifth wheel' or 'wild card', but not often.

Andrea loses it a bit when her brothers are in danger. She doesn't seem to care who she'll hurt to keep them safe, but is later terrified at what she might've done as a result. She isn't that good at strategy, as she admits. She loves fighting, and especially enjoys beating Leo or Raph in a spar.

Random factoids: Andrea is faster than her brothers, Mikey being a possible exception, but she's hardly ever won a fight against Raph. Andi is named after Andrea Del Verrocchio, the tutor of Leonardo Da Vinci. Her exclamation, 'holy hound', was inspired by Elvis' Ain't Nothing But A Hound Dog. Besides Mikey, Andi is probably the turtle with the most love of music, and collects records, owning an old record player.

Weapons of choice: Two kama, aka double scythes. She is skilled with shuriken and the yuki bow. She once tried using April's tessen, but it didn't work out so great.
