Trixie Carter[1][2] is one of Jake Long's best friends, and one of four non-magical humans to know he is the American Dragon.
She currently attends Millard Fillmore Middle School.
Background[]
Trixie is a girl living in New York. Her best friends are Jake Long and Spud. She’s Jake's best bud and only female friend. Trixie attended Millard Fillmore Middle School. Trixie likes to help Jake protect the magical community.
Personality[]
She is sassy, vivacious, and somewhat of a tomboyish character. Although initially annoyed at Jake for how long he kept his secret from her, she liked to help protect the magical community. She’s supportive of both Jake and Spud, but for a while, she has shown a dislike and distrust toward Rose and was a bit unsupportive of Jake's feelings for her[3], but soon began to accept their relationship. She even comforted Jake when the two of them broke up during the school's Valentine's Day field trip event[4]. After Rose nearly surrendered herself to save Jake and every magical creature in the world[5], she tried to help Jake move on.
She is also a trustworthy friend because even though Jake's grandfather did not initially trust her and Spud, they kept Jake's dragon secret[6].
She can be very rude and inconsiderate because she threw away her longtime friendship with Spud and Jake just to be with the "cool" girls and have girl talk with the cheer squad. But in the end, she saves both of her friends and proves to be considerably loyal[7].
Physical appearance[]
Trixie is an African-American teenager with black hair (matches her eyes) that she ties into puffs using purple scrunchies. In season 1, She wears a cropped blue tank top with a red butterfly on it and a purple T- shirt underneath making her stomach exposed. She also wears green cargos and lavender/purple sneakers.
In season 2, Trixie has dark brown eyes, though her hairstyle is roughly the same. She now wears a blue short-sleeved hoodie with a drawn panda on it and a pastel blue long-sleeved shirt underneath. She also wears baggy olive green pants and grey sneakers.
Family[]
Trixie's presumably an only child and her immediate family consists of herself, her mother, her father, and her grandmother (not to be confirmed if maternal or paternal). Trixie's father is a fighter pilot for the United States Air Force[8] while her mother works for an airline (either as an attendant or a pilot). Since Trixie's parents are often away for long periods of time (more so in her father's case), Trixie's grandmother appears to be her primary caregiver/parental figure.
Trixie's family appears to be relatively wealthy (or, at the very least, financially well-off), because Mrs. Carter often buys her daughter designer clothing whenever she goes out-of-town (such as to every foreign country). However, Trixie doesn't normally wear the clothes, as they aren't her usual style.[7].
Talents, interests, and abilities[]
Trixie has great talent in cheerleading and acrobatics, although her complete fight with the Millard Fillmore Middle School cheer squad has turned her off from using them[7]. She enjoys skateboarding and hanging out with her friends. She also has a big interest in money, as well as great interests in biology and aspires to become "Doctor Trixie Carter"[9][10].
Love interests[]
She has a big crush on another student in her school named Kyle Wilkins[4]. She constantly boasts about her crush and will let everyone know about it.
She also once accidentally flirts and dated with this one boy at a video game convention who she doesn't know and who is wearing a costume so she doesn't know who he is, thinking he was someone her age. She totally freaked out when she found out the truth about him. He turns up to be around 8-years-old, his height was boosted up by the help of his bulky costume, and the younger brother of Kyle Wilkins[11].
