Thrust in the role of American Dragon at a young age, Jake struggles to balance the responsibilities of being the guardian of the magical community and the struggles and experiences of being a young teenager in New York City.

Looking at Jake, you can really tell that he was meant to be a young, hip teenager from New York: never without his skateboard and rocking a fleece jacket, cargo shorts, ankle socks, and skate shoes like only a cool kid could.

About Jake Long
Voiced by Dante Basco, Jake Long is known to be cool and hip, even among his peers. This is evidenced by the things he’s interested in like skateboarding and video games as well as the wide network of people he hangs out with. Despite a wide network, however, Jake’s group of close friends is tightly knit. You can often see him hanging out and having misadventures with his closest best friends Spud and Trixie, who are practically family to him.
Just like any young teenager, Jake is also convinced that he is in love with the perfect girl. In this case, that perfect girl is Rose, a character later on revealed to be the Huntsgirl – an enemy of Jake’s in the magical world. Despite this big drawback and the many challenges that come with it, Jake and Rose are able to move forward with a romantic relationship against the odds.
