my plural!raph (rottmnt) headcanons

Alters who have shown up in the show:

Raph - he/him. host. You know him. Is aware that he has different "versions" of himself but doesnt know he's a system/what a system is. "Yeah I just get in weird moods or mindsets sometimes haha sorry about that". Wasn't always host, formed when he and his brothers started acting more like a "team" rather than " just brothers", when they started taking their lou jitsu roleplay more seriously and identifying with it. His self image is slightly more human adjacent, not a lot but sometimes when he looks at himself in the mirror its a little jarring.

"Mind raph" - he/him. Mutated turtle, looks like the body, more comfortable with his body. Doesnt quite realise he's seperate from raph. Mr helpful. Sooths and gives advice. He and raph are quite connected, he is the more "responsible and logical" one, while raph feels more like a kid and has more heightened emotions. Likes to cook.

"Feral" raph - it/its. doesnt have a name it associates with itself. animalistic turtle/non mutated turtle. Holds isolation trauma, both from general "im a mutant" isolation and a specific event from when they were very young, where they got seperated from their family for a few days. Lashes out at anything it is scared of or doesnt understand. Constantly feels cornered.

"Mean/harsh raph" - they/them. Very angry and distrustful - only trusts themself to do things right. Annoyed at everyone else's incompetence and how they don't seem to care enough, and is sick of having to carry everything themself. Feels as if this is the only way to protect both themselves and others. Holds a lot of anger and resentment towards splinter and his failures as a father and everyone else for openly loving him. After the show ends, doesn't like that Leo is now "leader"

Others:

Red - she/they. little kid, ~5-9. Old host, doesnt front a lot anymore, only during more quiet, low stress times, like meals or movie nights. She's half rat and half turtle, because she's very family oriented. Skittish around april and very wary of anyone who isnt immediate family. Clingy. Likes action figures and is very good with badic electronics, like figuring out how to plug things into the tv and stuff. Very happy she can now reach things that are high up.

Lee jitsu - they/she. 12-13ish. Human. Was originally a self insert character from Red daydreaming about if she was in the lou jitsu cinematic universe, and if lou jitsu became her master/mentor. High energy, loves action, The Biggest Lou Jitsu Fan. Isnt really aware of the rest of the system.

Do you ever cry thinking about how Leo's driving motivation is to protect his brothers' peace? Like he literally just wants to see them safe and happy.

hi does anyone else think about april throwing herself over leo to shield him in the shredder strikes back despite having no weapons no way to defend herself and probably assuming she was going to die. does anyone think about that all the time. every day. uncontrollably

[ID: Digital fanart of Ninja Turtles 2003 depicting a scene from The Shredder Strikes Back part 2. April kneels over an injured Leo, cradling his head and looking back over her shoulder to snarl viciously at the camera, though there is obvious fear in her eyes. Her hair has partially fallen out of her bun, the loose strands sticking to her face with sweat. She has a cut on her cheek. Only a portion of Leo’s face can be seen from behind her shoulder. He looks up at her with a sad, pained expression. He has a swollen, bloody shiner in addition to other cuts and bruises on the rest of his body. They are on the wooden floor of a dark attic. End ID.]
