In anime there is a personality trait called a 'Dere' Type. Dere itself is a sufix slang term used by fans of anime and manga to describe various character attitudes and personality traits. More often then not these types are associated with girls, but I have seen them applied to boys as well.
The four most common types of 'Dere' are:
Tsundere
Yondere
Kuudere
and Dandere
There are other 'Dere' types as well, but these four are the more commonly used.
Tsundere is the most basic of the Dere types.
Tsundere tend to be angry, rude, and mean to the world around them. But occasionally show they have a softer side.
Raph fits the Tsundere Type, at least IMHO. On the outset he's gruff, quick to anger, always has a less then friendly attitude. But yet he's occasionally shown to have a gentle caring side towards animals and towards his brothers when they are injured, in serious danger, or troubled. Particularly when said brothers is Mikey.
Yondere is the exact opposite of the Tsundere.
A yondere is gentle, kind, and open to being with other people. However occasionally they do show they have a vicious streak as well. Particularly when it comes to a love interest as in extreme cases a Yondere will go into a murderous fixation. Such as killing their love interest so no one else can have them, or killing off rivals for said love interest.
Donnie strikes me as a Yondere since he's often calm and level headed. He strives to help out his family where he can. And even if the result isn't favorable, the intention was in the right place...most of the time. However Donnie has also shown he has a dark sense if humor sometimes such as his black widow comment in Turtle Temper. He was also willing to go as far as to kill Karai to save April if it absolutely had to come to that. And also while he does feel bad whenever Casey supposedly dies, he does find humor in seeing Casey getting hurt on occasion.
Leo is harder to place.
I'd say he's somewhere between a Kuudare and a Dandare.
A kuudare is a person is similar to a Tsundere, in that they are blunt, cynical, and cold to those around them but sweeten as they open up to you. A Dandere on the other hand is calm and quiet, but will become more talkative as they open up.
Mike is more of a Deredere character.
Deredere are characters who are entirely sweet and energetic and they show this personality to everybody.
What is everyone else's opinion?
