Shadow Jones

Shadow Jones is the adopted daughter of Casey Jones and April O'Neil, raised within the extended family of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Growing up alongside Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and their allies, she navigates life in the Turtles' gritty, street-level world.

Introduced in 1993 by the legendary duo Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, Shadow Jones stepped into the pages of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles during the Copper/Modern Age of comics and carved out a place in one of indie publishing's most beloved mythologies. A Mirage Studios creation through and through, she grew up surrounded by an extraordinary cast — sharing her world with Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, April O'Neil, and Casey Jones — which tells you everything about the rich, street-level universe she inhabits. Her story threads through nearly 25 years of TMNT publishing history, from her 1993 debut all the way to 2018, a quiet testament to the lasting depth of the Mirage era's storytelling. With only a handful of catalog appearances, she's a rewarding discovery for dedicated fans who want to explore the corners of the TMNT universe that go beyond the familiar green foursome.
