Anatomy & Lingering Wounds
For the anthropomorphic Turtle anatomy, I'm using Athy's pick: the artist ![[deviantart.com profile]](https://i.deviantart.net/icons/favicon.png)

Specifically for Leonardo, this is my physical description for him from his application:
Leonardo's skin is the most mossy-blue of the four turtles, with blue eyes and a richer blue mask. He wears his mask with medium-length tails - not as long as Donatello's, not as short as Mikey's - but it's also well-kept or replaced as his is not as tattered as Raphael's. He is the second tallest and with Donatello standing at 5'8", it's reasonable to assume he stands around 5’6". Like Raphael, Leonardo's side profile shows a much more pointed beak and pronounced cheekbones (unlike Donatello and Michelangelo, whose beak is rounder), but the bridge of his nose is still sloped at a downward angle whereas Raphael's is upturned. His chin is rounder than Raphael's as well.
Formally, Leonardo and the other turtles are considered hybrids of the red-eared slider/terrapin turtle. Each of their hands and feet have only three toes, but one digit of each hand is opposable like a human thumb. Basically imagine walking around making the Vulcan symbol all day. Their feet are apparently tough enough to walk and jump through a city barefoot save for a few loose wrappings. Like all turtles, Leonardo has two main parts to his shell: the upper part (or "back" for anthropomorphics) is called the carapace and the lower ("front") part is the plastron. Leonardo's plastron is the most orange-brown saturated in color of the four and his shell seems to likewise be the darkest peat green.
Lastly, he's sustaining several battle wounds. These pictures are of the fresh damage, but they give you an idea of why he's got a bum left shoulder and is walking with a crutch on his right side.
1) Leonardo gets beaten / cut / laser-blasted to within an inch of his life, then gets thrown through an above-ground window:
2) Hits his head hard enough to go into a 3-month coma in canon:
3) Battle-damage definitely happened front and back:
4) His brothers noticed right away that his shell (plastron side) was cracked - enough that Raphael can peel a corner off Leo's skin. You shouldn't be able to do that to a turtle; it'd be like peeling a toenail off, but worse.
5) Then he gets carried to a van, where he's jostled around in a battle. You can see his backside injuries here:
