“Raphael’s got the most attitude on the team.”
Gruff, snide, and short-fused, Raphael is the turtle most likely to ignore orders and go off on his own to solve things by the most direct means possible, even if that isn’t the best idea. His tactics are simple; punch, stab, and otherwise break until there’s no one left standing but Raphael and his brothers. His short-sightedness has gotten him into trouble more than once, but he is slow to learn his lesson and quick to charge off into the fray once again.
He does have a softer side, though. He has twice taken on pets; one, a turtle named Spike, mutated into the lone vigilante known as Slash, with which Raphael has a complicated relationship. The other, a space turtle named Chompy, will some day grow up to be a kaijou monster like its mother. Raphael also has a love interest with the Salamandarian known as Mona Lisa.
