Michelangelo Hamato [ROTTMNT]

Physical Appearance

Mikey is a yellow-green skinned anthropomorphic mutant turtle, displayed to sport a relatively round, yet somewhat sculpted build. Similar to that of his brothers, Mikey has a very toned physique. Albeit, he is a tad more rounder than his brothers, which is probably just to accentuate the fact that Mikey is the youngest out of all of his brothers'. Commonly, he is seen clad in his trademark orange bandana mask (which in contrast, have relatively shorter bandana tails than his brothers), however unlike his older incarnations, this Mikey features three big freckles on each his cheeks, followed by prominently large and round baby blue eyes.

In terms of overall accessories, Mikey wears brown elbow and knee pads atop each his limbs; followed by matching brown bandages residing on his ankle and forearms, followed by a pair of of white bandages on his three-fingered knuckles. Tied over his waistline is a light brown belt, which has a pair of holsters wear he can place his duo nunchakus at. Mikey's hands have two fingers and a thumb and three little toes on his feet.

Personality

Mikey is the baby of the family. He is the smallest, energetic, and least mature of his turtle brothers. However, it was confirmed that his maturity slowly increases as the episodes go on. He is labeled as "The Wild One" and "The Party Dude" as he is the most "fun" out of all the turtles. He is also very social and wants the outside world (humans) to accept him and his brothers. He seems to have ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), so overall, he's very impulsive and he can be very excited in certain situations. In battle, his weapon of choice is a pair of nunchakus.

Mikey might seem unintelligent due to him not thinking things through, but he is actually incredibly smart in his own way. He is very creative and loves to use his imagination a lot. He loves to dress up. He would wear unique creative costumes like "Savage Mikey" for instance. In addition, he has a high EQ (emotional intelligence quotient).

He loves pop culture and readily accepts opportunities to widen his social group. He is enthusiastic, silly, social, positive and adaptable. This is how he expresses himself. He is proud that he could come up with creative ways to name things. He loves to cook. He is always openly playful, affectionate and has an honest heart and would accept outsiders like Leatherhead. While not very bright or book-smart, he can surprise others with his intuition, his keen sense of heart, and his quick reflexes even in the absence of conscious thought.

Mikey is prone to being silly rather than focusing on his training. However, he is still an impressive fighter. His natural affinity for the martial arts is present with his ability to learn moves after seeing it only a few times. He also has the ability to fight without "thinking (logically)", once deflecting Splinter's blows while listening to music with his eyes closed, which was something that Donatello had to learn (Although he was unable to do this when directly asked to fight without thinking in their first fight with the telepathic Victor Falco).

Mikey is very cute and innocent. However, he is also sneaky, mischievous, and scatter-brained, which sometimes causes trouble for the team. He would sometimes be inconsiderate as he tends to playfully mock his brothers, especially his second-oldest brother, Raphael, and use the latter's fear of cockroaches against him to try and get permission to read his comics. He also doesn't always respect personal space as shown when he pokes Raphael during a mission. His pranks may be annoying but he is not usually as rude as Donnie and especially Raph.

When his big brothers get annoyed with Mikey's antics, Raph and Donnie would be the ones who lash out at Mikey the most. Although Mikey's brothers find his idiocy annoying, Mikey surprises them with his good ideas. Mikey loves to name stuff but someone else names something before he could, he would get very upset about it.

Mikey may have a tendency to make a lot of mistakes, but all of his brothers care very deeply for him. They all show great distress when he gets hurt or is in trouble, and anger at the one who threatens him, i.e. when Baxter Stockman is throwing Mikey around he is in his more advanced armor. More often than not, Raphael is the one to shout Michelangelo's name first and attack whoever has harmed his baby brother, and was distraught when Michelangelo was injured during his (Raphael's) brief period as leader of the team.

Michelangelo is not above snapping at others if he feels they're acting like jerks. This happens often whenever his brothers and/or friends refuse to take him seriously ("Mikey Gets Shellacne"; "Buried Secrets"; etc). Therefore, he goes to drastic measures in order to prove his point (i.e. fighting the bad guys alone). He also calls them out for hurting each others' feelings or other people's feelings. (e.g. "Newtralized!"; "A Foot Too Big"; etc.)
