magical creatures living in the city, but as his ordinary self, Jake
has issues with his deep crush on his schoolmate Rose (Mae Whitman)
who, unbeknownst to Jake, has a dark, magical secret of her own: she
is a natural dragon-slayer known as the Huntsgirl, a member of the
Huntsclan that slays dragons and who Jake has fought consistently. The
leader of the Huntsclan is the Huntsman (Jeff Bennett) who raised
Rose.Jake navigates the city with his two best friends - Trixie Carter
(Miss Kittie), a witty, blunt, and sharp-tongued girl who is usually
the most logical and mature of the group; and Arthur P. "Spud"
Spudinski (Charlie Finn), who appears to be slow-witted but is
actually a genius. When Jake gets home, it is to an extended family:
Jonathan (Jeff Bennett), a businessman dad originally from the Midwest
who is unaware that he is married into a family of dragons from his
Chinese wife named Susan (Lauren Tom) (who lacks any dragon abilities,
as they skipped her generation). Jake's maternal grandfather Lao Shi
(Keone Young) trains his grandson in the magical, mystical ways of the
dragons. Other characters include Jake's younger sister Haley (Amy
Bruckner) (a nascent dragon), and Grandpa's cynical sidekick who's
also Jake's animal guardian and another best friend, a magical
Shar-Pei named Fu Dog (John DiMaggio).American Dragon: Jake Long was
