So my sibling and I developed a theory a couple of years ago that your top 2 favorite turtles say a lot about who you are. Example: My sibling's 2 favorite turtles are Donnie and Raph. She is very cerebral like Donnie and passionate like Raph.
Someone else I know's favorite turtles are Mikey and Raph. This person also has a short fused temper like Raph and a goofy side like Mikey.
My favorites are Mikey and Leo. Like Leo, I have a need to protect/take care of others and have an artsy side like Mikey.

What I want to know is who are your two favorite turtles and do you share any personality traits with them?

Leo is my #1 guy and his perspectives and approaches to things tends to be very much like me. (Heck, even 2003 Leo just yelling "Watch the graham crackers!" still makes me laugh because I can hear myself in that. Though I'd have also snatched the box out of harms way and Mr. Ninja didn't move fast enough. :tlol:)

Generally, I consider the others all my 2nd faves, though out of the three of them Donnie would be the most similar in the inquisitive, analytical side.

Both of them share that thinking, problem solving type of mind from different perspectives. (Which itself is part of creativity, making them both a little like Mikey underneath as well in their own ways.)

I'll consider your answer proof that the theory is sound!:tlol:

One of my favorite things to do is take a fictional charter and figure out which two turtles their personality is a combination of.

Raph is my favorite over all. I have anger issues, I like to isolate etc.

Wonder though, am I like that because Raph is that way, or do I like Raph because he's that way. Or is it just because red is my favorite color?:lol:

A challenge eh? Well I'd say Leo and Mikey. He has Leo's organizational and leadership abilities while having Mikey's jolliness.

Mikey and Donnie. It's no secret I love the easy-going, fun-loving, creative type, as that is a big part of my own personality, but Donnie's curious, inventive, and often analytical traits appeal to me as well. I love science and artistic pursuits equally, and am usually quiet and laid-back unless excited or seriously annoyed by something. So, yeah, I can dig this theory.

Leo and Raph are my favs and I do see bits of myself in them.

The arts and the sciences. That's a cool mix and one I haven't come across often.

What about them do you see in yourself if I may ask?

It's a bit hard for me, since I love them all.
But I used to choose Donatello and Leonardo as my favourite turtles during my childhood.
Donatello because of his importance as the "support", and Leonardo for his plans and temperance.

Leo: Quite serious and self-doubting at times
Raph: Angry, sarcastic and cynical at times

Mikey: I just want to play video games and chill all day.

Leo: I want to just play video games and chill all day but I don't because I got r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s...

Raph: I also have a bit of Raph but I keep it under-wraps in public. I'm a quiet cynic and a grouch.

Don: I have the least of Don. I'm not as smart as I think I am or would like to be.

I don't know. I have a hearty mix of Michelagelo (Townsend Coleman) and Leonardo (Micheal Sinterniklass) as far as my personality goes. The TMNT are portrayed slightly different in each interation and of the TMNT my favorite is Michelangelo (Townsend Coleman) with Raphael (Rob Paulsen) a close second. However, I am not like Raphael in general or my preferred version of him. I am two sides of the same coin fun loving and easy going as well as goofy (Mike '87), but also protective and disciplined, and wanting to lead in example (Leo '03). I know its an odd combination of two turtles that make up my personality, but I am not a lazy athlete with punching power or assertiveness.
