So! What's your 🔥 take for Raphael? I'm interested in hearing your overall opinion about him, really.

(feel i always gotta preface these things with a "i dunno if this is really a hot take but it's my take so yeah" sticker lmao but ye)

I really like that among the cast he's the only one (that I can readily think of) that both has a tragic backstory but it still allowed to be a simple character. Even other "simple" characters like Caspar have supports that show them going through some sort of conflict, but Raphael is just. Chill. Very chill. It makes him a really good bouncing board for characters to feel comfortable around while still managing to have a distinct personality of his own, and also lowkey makes him come off as kinda mature imo?? Like he still has his worries but he feels like he's got most things in his life figured out already. He also has massive Big Bro vibes which are a big plus

How it actually works:
