I combines 3 things. My love for Raph, my newest interest in Harry Potter's world and turtles.
This is what I created, Professor Raffaello of Hogwarts School.

He's gotta tragic background. He's not a mutant, but born that way. His mom was an Italian magic user who simply was rescued by a member of a village made up of turtle people - they look a little rougher than Raffaello, his more human appearance is from his mom. Eventually she dies of a sickness they had no cure for, his father dies from loneliness and Raff's outcasted from the fear that he being a half breed and magic user. He travels to world, settled in Japan, learned the way of life and adopted it. He isn't ninja. He simply studies the arts and can kick butt pretty good. Of course he is proficient in sai, but also blade as well- he studies Iaido and uses it for relaxation.
After a dozen years there he returns home only to be pushed out again, this time his home burned to the ground and he's left with a few things he could get, a change of clothing, trinkets and his wand. He wanders alone until befriends Hagrid who helps him get a position at the school.
he was fun to create.
