Raphael (TMNT)

Raphael (or Raph), a fictional character, is one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). His bandanna is red (his favorite color) and he carries two sai. He is usually depicted as being aggressive, sullen, and rebellious. He could arguably be the strongest and best fighter of the turtles. He is named after Raphael Sanzio, the Renaissance painter.

The origin of Raphael's anger is not always fully explored, but in some incarnations appears to stem partly from the realization that they are the only creatures of their kind and ultimately alone. He also has a close love/hate resentment toward Leonardo, the unofficial group leader. He is generally the most likely to experience extremes of emotion.
