Raimondo

**Raimundo Pedrosa** is a Xiaolin Warrior and the current Xiaolin Dragon of Wind.

## Appearance

### Xiaolin Showdown

Raimundo has short, brown hair that is spiky and has thick brown eyebrows. He is Brazilian with a light tanned complexion, a round face, and has green eyes. He is the second tallest monk after Clay Bailey and seems to be the same height as Jack Spicer. He has a lean but muscular figure, as seen in "The Deep Freeze" and "Dream Stalker".

In the first season, when travelling outside the temple, Raimundo wears a golden medallion around his neck (which he also wears inside the temple) and a white hoodie along with red wristbands on both arms. He also wears a pair of green khaki pants and a pair of red shoes. From the second season to the end of the series, which consists of an orange and green long-sleeved shirt, tan khaki pants, and a pair of black shoes.

## Personality

Raimundo is generally depicted as a laid-back, resourceful character who can be mischievous at times. He is known to be a slacker; avoiding his chores by either the use of Shen Gong Wu as seen in "The Shard of Lightning" or having others such as Ping Pong or Vlad do them for him instead. Although in the end he means well, his teasing of the other monks can come off mean-spirited. Omi and Clay are usually his main targets, and in "Big as Texas" Raimundo admits that’s part of the reason he misses Clay when he returned home.

He does not take losing well; in "Shen Yi Bu", he spent the rest of the day brooding because he lost the Sword of the Storm to Tubbimura, and expressed his frustration when Jack Spicer made off with the Rio Reverso in "Oil in the Family". There are situations when Raimundo tends to action before figuring out a plan beforehand, which then leads into more trouble than needed. It’s because of this he was initially withheld from being promoted to Xiaolin Apprentice by Master Fung. However, he does own up to his mistakes and learns from them.

## Relationships

### Omi

Raimundo and Omi have a relationship that is contentious at times but also brotherly as well. Both have teased each other several times throughout the series, though when Raimundo teases Omi, either Clay or Kimiko will tell him to stop it. While they have their differences, Raimundo and Omi have shown to be good friends who trust each other deeply. Either one was distressed when the other turned to the Heylin side in the first and season finales. As Raimundo became the Shoku Warrior, Omi bowed in respect to him and was delighted to see his friend chosen as the monks' leader.

### Clay Bailey

Raimundo's relationship with Clay is good for the most part, although there are moments when it becomes vitriolic. He is usually the one Raimundo likes to make fun of after Omi, as revealed in "Big as Texas" and the most common jabs directed at him are about his weight and intelligence. At the same time, Clay has shown to be passive-aggressive to Raimundo, as seen in "Pandatown" when make a snide comment about his competence. Despite this, they consider themselves friends nonetheless and support each other. Clay is often shown manhandling Raimundo throughout the series.

### Kimiko Tohomiko

Raimundo's relationship with Kimiko is good for the most part, although there are moments when it becomes vitriolic. While he mainly teases and pokes fun at Clay and Omi, Raimundo has antagonized Kimiko to get a reaction out of her, as shown in "Tangled Web". Despite this, the two have shown to be supportive of each other throughout the series. In "Dream Stalker", Raimundo is revealed to have a crush on Kimiko. However, whether Kimiko reciprocates those feelings or not has never been elaborated.

### Jack Spicer

Raimundo and Jack Spicer's relationship can be described as tumultuous at best and then antagonistic at worst. He has endangered him and the monks several times, and in "The Last Temptation of Raimundo" Jack almost destroyed Raimundo's hometown with a volcanic eruption. Raimundo has little patience for his incompetence and finds him to be a huge jerk. Nonetheless, the two have worked together when it suits their mutual benefit, in "Saving Omi" Raimundo provided a distraction while Jack helped Kimiko retrieve Omi's good chi and restore him to normal. Furthermore, Raimundo did not object to Jack's offer about treating the monks to ice cream on their down time.

### Wuya

Raimundo has a complicated relationship with Wuya. She managed to convince him to join the Heylin side in "In the Flesh" and resurrect her physical body in the process. After being resurrected, Wuya treated Raimundo quite well, providing him everything he desired and never double crossed him. Following her second resurrection, she still treated him a bit better than the other monks, complimenting his muscles in "The Life and Times of Hannibal Roy Bean". During his dream sequence in "Dream Stalker", Raimundo sees Wuya cleaning a throne for him, dressed in Kimiko's kimono.
