Danny / Mondo (Danny Pennington (2012 AU))

In this AU, Danny is not Mondo (because that's Jason) and stays human for the course of the series, but the two were close friends before Jason got mutated and disappeared. They have similar hobbies and home lives (ie, poor relationships with their families), although in this AU Danny doesn't run away from home. Their bond gets severed when Jason is mutated and they don't really reconnect until they're older and a very nervous Jason calls him to explain things.

I kind of envision Danny's life being pretty different in the 2012 AU. He doesn't run away and join the Foot, or meet the turtles, which means he never gets mutated and basically has to live out a "normal" teenage life. He gives up on skating a little bit after he loses Jason and instead gets more interested in music and even starts learning to make his own. He was also 100% a Minecraft kid. He probably had his own let's play channel with 3 subscribers lmao

2012 Danny has a lot more gender troubles than his Rise counterpart too (the idea of growing into a Human Woman is a hell of a lot more stressful to him than the idea of just being a big lizard- Rise Danny really lucked out with that one tbh), as well as a lot more General Emotional Troubles from being stuck with his family. I'm sure he'll be fine though

Oh and he's even more of a klepto in this version.
