Lucindra Thompkins is a human female martial artist who befriends and spars with Raphael. She is one of the few human characters in the series that is uniformly a better fighter than any of the Turtles. Lucindra first appears in the short story The Name is Lucindra Turtle Soup (vol. 2) 1. Raphael calls her up for a sparring session, and since she isn't too taken aback that he's a giant Ninja Turtle, the two proceed with their kumite. Raphael loses to Lucindra (two falls out of three) and thus he owes her a Pizza.
