Meet Raphael, aka Raph! He’s always ready for a fight and ALWAYS ready to lay it all on the line for his brothers. Raph never shies away from his enemies and is definitely an "act first, think later" kinda Turtle. He’s a bit of a hothead, too. You could say he’s always seeing red – and not just because of his red mask. Generally speaking, Raph is one tough turtle, but he’s got a soft spot in his shell for his beloved bros.
Raph may be the best fighter of the bunch. He’s got some serious ninja skills, but doesn’t have a whole lot of stealth going on. Raph is also a true master of the sai. Let’s just say you wouldn’t want to find yourself in a fight with this guy.
