[Hobbies] Teasing his younger brothers, scaring the palace servants, causing general mischief. Also, whittling.

[Personality] Mischievous when off-duty, Raph loves to play practical jokes on his three brothers, even under threat of his father and Mike's tirades; despite his love of practical jokes, he hates to have them turned on him. When on-duty, Raph is usually cool and collected, keeping his head through the worst of things, and his loyalty knows no bounds.
[Advantages] He's smart enough to make split-second decisions in the middle of a fight, and he usually ends up with the result he predicted. However, he does see the need to allow sacrifices for the need of the many. His belief, however, is that it would be his job as the leader of his Pack —on Solaria— to sacrifice himself for his fighters if the need arises. He's been taken prisoner several times due to this, but has always been ransomed/broken out by his queen.
[Flaws] He isn't the fastest fighter, and his sai are fairly short. He needs to be right next to his opponent to attack, which gives them several openings depending on their weapon/attack range. Also, since Raph is new to being a Knight, he isn't very strong using his powers yet.
[Self defense/weapon of choice] Twin silver sai set with topaz pommels
