The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are four fictional teenage anthropomorphic turtles who are named after four Renaissance Italian artists. They were trained by their anthropomorphic rat sensei in the art of ninjutsu. From their home in sewers of New York City, they battle petty criminals, evil overlords, mutated animals, and alien invaders while attempting to remain hidden from society.
Leonardo, more affectionately called Leo, is the eldest of the four and older brother to Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo. He is the tactical, courageous leader of the team and devoted student of his sensei Splinter, who firmly believes it's his ninja duty to protect the people f New York. As the most conscientious of the four, he often bears the burden of responsibility for his younger brothers, which commonly leads to conflict with Raphael. He can be identified by his blue mask and twin katana blades which he wields in battle.
Raphael, also known as Raph, is often regarded as having an aggressive nature as well as a rebellious streak (often struggling to comply to orders), and seldom hesitates to throw the first punch. He is often depicted with a very pronounced New York accent. His personality can be fierce, sarcastic and maddened, and oftentimes delivers deadpan humor. Despite his anger issues and fiery temper, Raph is determined and would stop at nothing to fight against evil, even when suffering from life-threatening injuries such as a broken shell. He wears a red mask and wields a pair of sai.
Donatello, also known as Don, is the "official" scientist, inventor, engineer, and technological genius of the brothers. is perhaps the least violent turtle, preferring to use his vast knowledge and calculative talk to solve conflicts, but never hesitates to defend his brothers. Don is known to be very calm and measured, and often being able to stay composed under stress, as seen when he managed to stop the toxic poison activated by Shredder on Sacks Tower in the first movie. He can be identified by his purple mask, and wields a telescopic bo staff in battle.
Michelangelo, more commonly known as Mike, is free-spirited, relaxed, and often goofy jokester and known for his love of pizza. He provides the comic relief, though he still has an adventurous side. The least mature and youngest of the four Turtles, he shows characteristics of a "surfer" type and is often depicted with a Southern Californian accent. Though identified by Master Splinter to possess the most "raw talent" of the brothers, Mikey seems to be more interested in goofing around. He wears an orange mask and wields a pair of nunchucks in battle.
