Raphael!!  My first thought was Donatello, although I ended up settling on Raph. His happy and extroverted nature is great at combatting symptoms of depression. Whenever you’re having trouble getting out of bed, showering, eating, etc. He’ll be right there to help. He won’t force you to do anything you can’t do, either. If it’s one of those days, he’ll be right there with a mug of tea that looks just a little too small in his hands. It’s cute, really. He’s also great with managing panic attacks! One would think he would choke under the pressure, but he’s had a lot of practice with his brothers. His responses are automatic, at this point. He’s great at sitting patiently, waiting for your okay to touch or hold you. His “gentle voice” is actually really, really calming.  He super digs the Lo-Fi as well. You don’t have to wear headphones around him: he’s more than happy to chill out too! (He really likes Jazz Hop Cafe, although he’ll listen to pretty much anything.) He’ll listen to the scary stories too, but you might have to hold his hand afterwards! If it’s the true ones, they don’t scare him as much. He’s never gonna be able to use Craigslist anyways, so who cares if someone tries to lure him in and kill him? He can just beat ‘em up anyways. Creepypastas & the paranormal though? He can’t punch ghosts!!!  (He’s still gonna listen to em anyways.)  He’s also your number one supporter with everything you do!! He’s not a great beta reader or art critic, but he knows he likes it! He always reblogs your stuff. <3 He also likes to lay down next to you while you work! He thinks the vibes are nice. He also loves how you look when you’re focused.  - Loves to carry you around. Whenever you go somewhere in the hidden city, he’ll put you up on his shoulders. Not only do you get a good view, but you’re also put above the crowd! Considering how tall some of the yokai are, it’s actually not even a weird sight.  - He’s not a great cook, but he makes good drinks! His coffee and tea are supernaturally good, and you have no idea how he does it. He also has your favorite brands and flavors memorized.  - Loves learning about the things you’re interested in! Into a new show? He’s there to binge it with you! New game? He’ll look up some playthroughs so he can get into it too! Movies? He has trouble sitting through them if they aren’t animated/Jupiter Jim, but he’ll do his best!! Worst comes to worst, he’ll split it into parts so he can digest it easier. He loves to hear you talk about the things that make you happy <3  - Advice king. He’s always here to listen to what’s troubling you, and he gives really good advice on overcoming it!  - Always asks if it’s a punchable problem. You can never tell if he’s joking or not, but either way, it’s funny.  - Definitely tries to get you out of the lair a little bit. You don’t have to do anything crazy, but he’s definitely for “out-on-the-town” dates.  - Whenever you guys go to Run of the Mill he always asks for those kid’s mats and crayons. He just wants to see what you can do with the tiny crayons. He always gets you to laugh about it.  - (The next time you come in, you see the doodles hung up in the Kid’s Art section. Apparently not many yokai kids can keep their papers in one piece, so having a drawing make it is a bit of a rarity. Hueso REFUSES to tell anyone an adult drew it: He needs a paper up there, damn it. It becomes an inside joke between you and Raph.)  - Cuddle king. <3  - Honestly, he’s just really supportive. He’ll always be there for you, no matter what.
