Raphael is my favorite Turtle because of the old cartoon. He was sarcastic which fit in to my style of humor. Also he said "damn" a lot in the first movie which was cool to me at the time because I was so young. I didn't really appreciate the darkness until later. He was probably the least popular turtle between me and my friends which was another reason I liked him (I could use him in all the video games; I could be him while playing with action figures). Also for some reason I thought Sai were the coolest weapons. Swords were too generic, and nunchucks and a boe staff were made of wood and therefor less cool in my eyes.
I can relate to him more now that I'm older (to be fair I can relate to most all of them in some way). I can understand not wanting to be told what to do by an older sibling and I have my loner moments. I tend to wear my emotions on my sleeve and I have the tendency to bear the emotional weight of people around me on my shoulders.
Plus he was the one who met up with Casey Jones and is arguably his best friend out of the turtles and Casey is an awesome character.
