'''Leonardo''' (or '''Leo'''), a [[fictional character]], is one of the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] (TMNT). His bandana is [[blue]], his favorite color (although originally all four Turtles had red bandanas) and his weapons are two [[ninjaken]] (literally "ninja sword"), although every incarnation incorrectly identifies his swords as [[katana]]. He is named after [[Leonardo da Vinci]].

==Personality==

Leonardo is seen as being a very kind hearted, honest loyal true believer in his study's, and in general. Unlike his "brothers", he is more mature, and adaptable than Raphael and Michelangelo. His aims, "no matter how displeasing they are to his jealous brother Raphael", are always in the right place, and are always for the best, just to protect his family and of course please his master. Leonardo's nature is kind, loving, brave and unique.

Leonardo is seen as being very kind hearted, honest and loyal, and a true believer in his studies, and in general aspects of life, which is why he is closest to Master Splinter. He is always eager to please his sensei and do what is necessary within the boundaries of [[bushido]] morals and ethics. He is regarded as the oldest brother, largely due to his adult-like maturity and approach to [[ninjitsu]]. In terms of his inter-personal relationships, he has a complex and sometimes turbulent relationship with [[Raphael (TMNT)| Raphael]]. A lot of the difficulties in their relationship stem from Raph's anger and jealousy towards Leo. Despite the fact that each turtle operates on a different level of morals and ethics, both are really after the same goal, albeit by different means and a different path, and it is usually when this becomes apparent that Leo and Raph's relationship becomes stronger. Leonardo also shares a good relationship with [[Donatello (TMNT)| Donatello]], whom he identifies as the most responsible and reliable out of his three younger brothers.
