A masseuse, a twin, a dedicated performer: Her character gave a charming face-lift to the sometimes drier, more sardonic escapades of her peers, and if she could inspiring passing New Yorkers to adopt a cat or two, then even better.

Diana Kingston- Gabai thinks Guy Flanagan as Mitchell plays his role very well. She loved Flanagan's “more sardonic, constantly-bemused performance and his chemistry with the co-stars” and was sad that he was replaced with Aidan Turner. Daniel Martin from The Guardian thinks that Guy Flanagan's Mitchell was too stylised and too vampiric. So he believes it is good that he got replaced by Aidan Turner.

We have had nothing like it, I repeat, and assuredly there is here that which will make the whole civilised world akin."

In Daria's first incarnation as a recurring character on Beavis and Butt-Head, she formed an intelligent female foil to the two main characters. She went through three different outfits, had a stockier figure, and initially was a more expressive character; her iconic monotone voice developed over time. While she later became more sardonic, she showed early on that she could hold her own against the two and could react quickly to their antics. In her debut episode, "Scientific Stuff", she was forced to do a science class presentation with Beavis and Butt-head and turned it to her advantage by using them as the presentation's experiment.

Raphael's personality in the 1987 animated series deviates the most from all other incarnations, though the show's theme song states that Raphael is "cool, but rude" (he takes a slice of pizza with his sai and shoves the rest of it onto the screen). Although Raphael’s violent temper is toned down, Raphael still can get cranky when annoyed or angry. Raphael is a sardonic wise-guy, and supplies comic relief alongside Michelangelo, whose humor is usually attributed to his ignorance and spaciness, whereas Raphael is more sardonic and sarcastic. Michelangelo and Raphael’s relationship is not exactly confrontational. However Raphael would make fun or get annoyed with Michelangelo’s antics. Raphael’s relationship with Leonardo is not strained.

In the 2003 series, Raphael is voiced by Greg Abbey and speaks with a Brooklyn accent. In this incarnation, he has a dark, bright green skin color, much more vivid than those of his brothers. This version of Raphael has a personality which is more akin to his original incarnation - he is angrier and more sardonic, but not quite as violent as his darker personality from the comics, unless furious - as proven in one incident where he almost smashed Michelangelo's head in with a pipe after Mikey beat him in a sparring match. The theme song for season 1-3 did not have a part that actually described each turtle individually, but from season 4 onwards it was changed, and stated, "count on Raphael to throw the first punch".
