Raphael For the TV show, TMNT creator Peter Laird decided to give each Turtle a different color to make it easier to tell them apart: Leonardo has a blue bandana, Raphael a red bandana, Donatello a purple bandana and Michelangelo an orange bandana.

Donatello Donatello, nicknamed Don or Donnie/Donny, is a superhero and one of the four main characters of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics and all related media. He is the smartest and often gentlest of his brothers, wearing a purple mask over his eyes.

Judith Hoag was not called in to reprise her role as April O'Neil after the director was unhappy when she derided the way they mistreated the stunt doubles and their unfair schedules changes.

Lean more about Leonardo, the oldest brother of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Leo is your classic oldest sibling. He's a little bit bossy, but he firmly believes he has everyone's best interest at heart! As the oldest, Leo considers himself the leader of the brothers.

Since Raph had to look out for himself during his formative years, he usually goes off by himself whenever he's stressed, overwhelmed, or has a problem he needs to solve. This also explains his short temper, and his near-constant internal rage.

Raphael is a classic example of a crime-fighting vigilante while Leonardo is more akin to a wartime general, which is why Leonardo is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' leader while Raphael is their greatest hero.

He is not afraid to express his true feelings and also has a crush on April, who does not return her feelings to him. In the end, when the Turtles are leaving in their van after Mikey blows up Vern Fenwick's car, Mikey tries to impress April by singing The Turtles' "Happy Together".

Raphael Compared to the pious leader Leonardo, the cautious tech-wiz Donatello, and the impulsive party-animal Michelangelo, Raphael is easily the coolest of his brothers with his action-heavy, rule-breaking attitude.

Raph is the only turtle not to have a crush on April in any incarnation.

Donatello Donatello: Out of all the Turtles, Donnie is the one April is closest with. Donnie has a HUGE crush on April and fell in love with her at first sight.

All of the Turtles: Leo is both the oldest and the leader of his brothers and little sister of the TMNT. And he likes to be the one on the team who is not afraid of anything. That's why Raph refers to him as "Fearless Leader" sometimes.

Raph is the only turtle not to have a crush on April in any incarnation.
