TMNT: Raphael — Description

Drawn by me. Commissioned for @shockRG
Rebellious, Hot-tempered, Violent, these words describe Raphael to a tee.
Though if you ask the turtle himself he'd say that he's just....enthusiastic about stopping crime.
A straight-up brawler, he has very little patience for things like stealth, hiding in shadows, or keeping his voice down. While he's fiercely loyal to his brothers, he's also often the one giving them a hard time.
If it were up to him, they would simply, kick bad guy butt and ask questions later.
However underneath lies a compassionate and gentle soul, Raphael cares a lot about helping others and would do anything to protect his brothers from harm. He also has more issues with his anger than he'd like to admit, the guy isn't even sure why he's angry half the time, once when he and Leo were training, Raph lost control and ended up giving Leo a concussion. Raphael ran off in tears, his brothers just didn't get it, he didn't want to be like this, he just was, luckily he would find a kindred spirit in hockey mask wearing vigilante.
Despite his flaws, Raphael is a true hero—courageous, loyal, and always the first to step up when the fight begins. He may be rough around the edges, but his heart is always in the right place.
