Raphael James Hood is one of the Zodiac Heroes and one of the Grade 7 students. He is the deuteragonist of the series.

## Background

### Official Description

Raphael James Hood is a 14-year-old Australian secondary school student. He suffers from cystic fibrosis, diabetes, bronchiectasis and lactose intolerance. With the help of his amulet, he can wield his sword and can transform into a spirit.

### Appearance

He is shown to have short dark brown/black hair with light brown highlights on his bangs moved to the right (his left), brown eyes and fair skin with a tan tint. He brings an oxygen tank and nasal cannula along the way (and it is stated that it is secured at the back of his head). He occasionally wears black-framed glasses and wears a loose dark blue short-sleeved shirt over a white long sleeved shirt, black jeans and black and white sneakers. His sword is shown to be red and translucent like the other dark syndrome victims. His sleepwear consists of a navy blue hoodie and black sweatpants. His student uniform consists of a navy blue blazer over a white dress shirt with a red necktie, warm grey pants, white socks and white sneakers. He stands on 5 ft. 3 and is of average weight. His party outfit consists of a white rolled-sleeved jacket over a white shirt, blue jeans and white shoes. Raphael turns red in his spirit form.

## Personality

He can be somewhat immature. Like his sister, he shows a lot of energy and loves playing in the zip line. Unlike his sister, he doesn't like animals besides turtles. But sometimes, he can be serious like when he and his friends are doing some investigations.

He can also be caring like when he is always looking out for his sister. At times, he can be really brave like how can she deal with blood, scars and anything disgusting to Troye better than him. He is also really optimistic and really fun-loving. He is also shown to be interested in Jackie Chan. He can also be stubborn according to Calum whenever he wants to take off his nasal cannula so the best solution is to secure it at the back.

As of Season 8, he is shown to speak Maori whenever he gets stressed out. He also finds wearing a kilt ridiculous.

## Etymology

(First name) Raphael is a name of Hebrew origin, from rāp̄ā (רָפָא "he has healed") and ēl (אֵל "God").

(Middle name) James is a classic, traditional and Biblical name (Saint James, of course, was one of Jesus' 12 apostles) meaning "supplanter" or "replacer." It's derived from the Latin Jacomus which also means "may God protect."

(Last name) English and Scottish: metonymic occupational name for a maker of hoods or a nickname for someone who wore a distinctive hood, from Middle English hod(de), hood, hud 'hood'. This was the name of an Ulster family who were bards to the O'Neills of Clandeboy. ... It was later altered to Mac hUid.
