Emmy, voiced by Andrea Libman , is 6 years old. She commonly appears as the leader of the group until she gave her position to Enrique while helping him get used to Dragon Land. She is Max's older sister. Her best friend is Cassie, and she is perhaps known for saying, "Definitely! Though Emmy is not ashamed to do "girly" things with Cassie, she is also heavily into sports and games and generally is up for any activity regardless of traditional gender roles. Though she experiences occasional jealousy of her brother, the two are otherwise usually together within Dragon Land and share many adventures.
Though a brave, smart natural leader, she is also impulsive and doesn't always think before she acts. She is typically seen wearing a blue button-up dress over a red shirt. Max, voiced by Danny McKinnon, is 4 years old. For the most part, he and Emmy get along fine, but occasionally have arguments. He is prone to anger.
His best friend is Ord. Though Max loves Emmy, he sometimes struggles with being the younger brother, upset about being too little to do certain things, or frustrated when Emmy acts in certain ways. He is an adventurous sort and sometimes helps to give courage to Ord when he's afraid of things like visiting a dark forest.
He is kind to others and encourages Emmy when she is at first reluctant about allowing Enrique to share the secret of Dragon Land. He often enjoys acting silly or goofy. He sometimes acts in a stubborn manner, determined to prove that a child his age can do things on his own, even when he really needs help. Enrique, voiced by Aida Ortega, is 6 years old. His recent experiences in South America provide more opportunities for the characters to demonstrate the meanings of new Spanish words. He rides with Zak and Wheezie, the two-headed dragon who rarely flew with any human friends prior to Enrique's debut.
His personality is somewhat bashful, missing his homeland of Colombia and sometimes shy to join in on new experiences and saddened by reminders of times from his former home that he no longer has.
However, he finds that he enjoys himself when he allows himself to let go, express his feelings and then move forward to have fun. He is raised by his grandparents and described as an intensely smart and logical character. A series of moves throughout his young life has left him jaded and wary of both making new friends and trying new things. He normally wears a bright yellow short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans.
The presence of Enrique on the program, in conjunction with Max and Emmy, was the subject of a study "'They Are?! Ord, voiced by Ty Olsson , is the blue male dragon who can turn invisible when he's scared. He is best friends with Max, who rides on his back. Ord is extremely fond of food and always carries some 'just in case'; a running gag in the show features Ord making "Dragon Corn" by throwing purple popcorn kernels in the air and frying them with his fire breath.
He is also allergic to dandelions. Ord is afraid of almost everything, particularly the forest of darkness, and he possesses a magical tendency to turn invisible when he is upset or frightened. He wants to learn to control these fears so that he can have fun with his friends.
Ord's Dragon Badge glows when he faces his fears. Cassie, voiced by Chantal Strand , is a shy, cute, demure, and sweet pink female dragon and Emmy's best friend.
She possesses a magical tendency to shrink when unhappy, and may occasionally come across as slightly insecure and uncertain, and is prone to worrying. However, Cassie is distinguished by her maternal sweetness as a result of her responsibilities as an older sister and babysitter to a humongous myriad of younger siblings, and has been shown to be gifted with great singing and dancing abilities, as revealed in one episode. Cassie also is characterized by her color combination consisting of pink and yellow, albeit her body is spotted with blue speckles in some areas.
Cassie knows just about everything there is to know about Dragon Land and has a deep love of fairy-tales, both stemming from her love of reading. Her dragon badge glows when she feels confident, but she often worries about making a mistake. Zak and Wheezie, voiced by Jason Michas and Kathleen Barr , are conjoined twin dragons with opposite personalities; Zak green is the male, and Wheezie purple is the female. Zak prefers to pursue things in a logical manner. He is neat and clean, but also worries a lot and is pessimistic about many things.
His catch phrase is "Take it easy, Wheezieee!
Wheezie is very bold, enthusiastic and hyper but can also be quite messy and loud, much to her brother's annoyance, and is perhaps known for saying, "Loooove it! She is a quick, wild, and free spirited. She loves to run and do cartwheels and back flips, which make Zak nauseous and dizzy. They have a shared love of music and performing and they often perform in talent shows and recitals together. Zak and Wheezie always fly with Enrique, although prior to his debut, Zak and Wheezie rarely flew with any of their human friends.
Their dragon badges glow when they work together and get along, though will sometimes glow independently when one of them accomplishes something on their own of significance. Although they fight a lot, they are very close and care about each other a lot. Quetzal, portrayed by Eli Gabay , is an elderly dragon who is the teacher at The School in the Sky where young dragons attend. He has an identical twin brother named Fernando who works in his garden.
Quetzal typically speaks with a Mexican accent and is likely named for the Aztec deity Quetzalcoatl. He tries to encourage his young charges to find solutions to their problems on their own, but is a sounding board who offers stability and comfort, as well as sound advice. Dragon Land is the fantasy world where the majority of the show takes place.
It is home to numerous colorful, anthropomorphic dragons and many other fantastical creatures. Max and Emmy travel to Dragon Land by holding an enchanted dragon scale while reciting the rhyme: It appears that it does not matter who does or does not say the rhyme, as long as at least one person says it; whoever is holding the dragon scale while they say the rhyme will be teleported with them.
Returning home from Dragon Land is done in the same fashion, although no dragon scale is needed. The only biological distinction between male and female is that equipment, after all, or we wouldn't bother with calling some people "boys" and some people "girls". Mungus, fortunately for the True Companions. There's also that unnamed troll like Giant who is also quite gentle. The Giant of Nod also counts, as he is only trying to protect his little people.
Getting Crap Past the Radar: Priscilla, the manager at the lost-and-found, who during her first appearance, was feeling embarrassed because her wings often called "feathers" were bigger than other dragons'. She eventually realized that boy dragons like girl dragons with big wings and raises her self-esteem. Cassie has a massive number of siblings— 72 siblings , actually!
Exactly how often were Cassie's parents, um, madly in love with each other that they had that many babies? Gigantic Adults, Tiny Babies: Most of the dragons sizes range from small to medium , to quite large. Ord's mother and father are huge. If that's any indication of how big Ord will become when he grows up After Max, Emmy, Zach, Weezie, and Cassie help Ord overcome his fear of sleeping due to a nightmare he had before, he falls asleep in the field where they all were And sometimes, the original kids too.
At one point they decided to sing "Are You Sleeping? Great Big Book of Everything: Dragon Land is loaded with strange magical creatures and other latent magic such as a cat that makes you copy someone to a weather-vane that when spun makes everyone and everything go backwards. Fortunately, Max, Emmy and the dragons can always consult Quetzal and his "big storybook," which is a full reference to these sort of phenomena, along with the recommended ways of dealing with them. In "Cassie the Green-Eyed Dragon," Cassie takes her cute little baby brother Finn to school and gets jealous when everyone pays him attention and doesn't notice her achievements.
As this is one of those shows that teaches kids how to handle their emotions, Quetzal helps her by explaining how we all feel jealous sometimes and gives her some help to feel better. Happens to some characters like Zak, Wheezie or Cassie, but mostly Ord as he is gifted with a stomach bigger than himself! Zak, to a certain extent. The dragons have marsupial like pouches that they can store just about anything in. Cyrus the Slinky Serpent , included to function as a "bad guy". The worst things he does are done almost exclusively to find food. For example, he takes Emmy's detective kit to find Dragongull eggs to eat, which is seen by the cast as more of an immoral act than the actual theft itself.
Not only that, he gives up very easily , mostly stalking off in a huff. In "One Big Wish," Max is upset because he can't do certain things because he's always smaller than Emmy and the dragon friends. As for what happens next, see Attack of the Foot Whatever above. Hey, That's My Line!
Max and Emmy do this to go home together. It's never stated specifically where the kids live, but what we see of their house sure gives off this vibe. I Have This Friend Used in one episode by Emmy when she breaks Wheezie's trumpet. I Just Want to Have Friends: As Quetzal explains, long ago there was a lonely dragon, and she badly wanted to walk with humans. She very gifted in the magical arts, and so sent out dragon scales to bring children from our world to her world.
Her story ends happily as she made three human friends. She so was desperate for companionship however, she didn't include the part of the spell on her scales that would send them home. Emmy and Max were now trapped in Dragon Land. Fortunately, Quetzal knew how to modify the scale to be able to reverse the teleportation as needed and taught the rhyme to them both. Ord likes to do this a lot in the show. In "Forest of Darkness" he leaves a nice clean outline in the ground when a gigantic gum bubble pops. Ord does this through several clouds in "Stormy Weather".
Max does this a second time with Enrique when they crash their sled in "Super Snow Day". Mondo Mouse sees it fit to send the entire gang doing this through rainbow in "Max's Comic Adventure". We get what they were trying to do with him, but it's still a little jarring to see a dragon in a wheelchair. To be fair Lorca doesn't have seem to have wings, which makes him having a wheelchair make much more sense. Subverted, Ord is upset when the group's boat has to be refitted for him. He gets a chance to shine when the waterfall comes, blocking the water long enough for the others to fly away.
In "No Hitter", Max is practicing kickball and asks Emmy if he could pitch. She agrees, but when they go to Dragon Land to participate in the dragon ball game, Emmy is pitching instead, which the two argue over. This was because Emmy didn't hear Max ask to pitch.

At the end of the last episode, Max, Emmy, and Enrique decide to write a book about their adventures in Dragon Land, and Emmy suggests naming it Dragon Tales. The Grudge in "The Grudge Won't Budge" has one that plays each time he speaks to Zak, wheedling him to hang on to him, along with his feelings of anger and resentment towards Wheezie.
Like Arthur , this show makes a direct connection between wardrobe and setting. The kids each have helmets, pajamas, winter clothes, and swimsuits. The dragons pull this when Emmy must perform a cartwheel over a bridge guarded by a troll in order to get to Quetzal's sick brother. Being the only one still struggling to do one, they choose to help her finish the move as the troll never told them this was against the rules.
How Emmy and Max activate the Dragon Scale and transfer worlds: That's not the way friends play. Wyatt, a wishing well in the shape of a walrus who grants wishes when coins are thrown in. Cassie's family, numbering at seventy-two and counting. Unsurprisingly, only three of them actually receive names and an introduction over the course of the series. Quetzal essentially calls it out as bull and Enrique feels better after crying. One episode has the group helping an air pirate capture a whale.
But they're two entirely different individuals. Of two entirely different sexes Fire breath is often used as a substitute oven or microwave. Can get confusing at times. It may be sunny outside when they leave for Dragon Land, and then when they get back, it'll be pouring rain. Then, Emmy tells Quetzal that Cassie's Pooozie died. Though Poozie wasn't dead. Caterpoozle is equivalent to caterpillar— Poozie just made a cocoon and was growing into a butterfairy. The first time Zak tells the Grudge to leave, he's only doing it because he's told to, and the Grudge senses Zak's insincerity since Zak is still mad at Wheezie.
It feeds off his anger and grows larger, but if Max calms down, it shrinks until it's small enough that he can stuff it back in the shell he accidentally released it from. Another one involving Zak and Wheezie: Emmy tries to teach them to jump rope, but they accidentally toss the rope upwards, sending it through the open window of the school, where it hits a cabinet, causing Quetzel's special mixture to pour onto it— bringing the rope to life! Quetzal states that the only way to change the jump rope back to normal is that the ones who caused the rope to come alive Zak and Wheezie must jump over the alive rope three times in row.
Lucky for Zak and Wheezie, Quetzal has another rope that they can use for practice, while Max, Cassie and Ord try to chase and get the live jump rope back. Can we eat later? Other World of Adventure: Dragon Land itself, of course. Our Dragons Are Different: One with the stomach of a bottomless pit, a little shy one from a extremely reproductive family, a two headed one, one in a wheelchair, a few Hispanic ones, one that is essentially an organic roller coaster Our Gnomes Are Weirder: There are quite a couple. There's Simon, Norm the Number Gnome, and a few others. One episode starts at dawn, and another starts at sunset.
Ord gets one in "Big Funky Cloud" when he's really sad about having lost his favorite blanket down the "lost forever hole. It's also said that this always happens to a dragon who's really sad about something, though it's never seen with a sad dragon in any other story on the show. Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Cassie and Ord, respectively. The Giant of Nod, who is only giant to the nodlings but miniature to the dragons and humans. Despite this, he's capable all of the three main dragons and the siblings up at the same time and chucking them into a tree off in the distance.
Please Keep Your Hat On: In "Musical Scales," Enrique spends most of the story wearing a bright, multicolored hat, trying to hide a bad haircut that his abuelita grandmother gave him. As it turns out, the males of the Doodle Fairy kingdom that Zak, Wheezie and Enrique are performing a song number for all sport the same hairstyle, which they show Enrqiue by removing their ceremonial hats. So, ultimately, more or less subverted. What kicks off the plot of No Hitter.
When Max and Emmy are preparing to leave for Dragon Land to partipate in game of Dragon Ball which literally just kickball , Max, after demonstrating his pitching skills to Emmy asks her if he can pitch in the game while she is fetching the scale. She does not hear him and says "Okay Max", meaning "Okay Max, we're all ready to go" which Max misinterprets as "Okay Max, that's fine. Very unusually for a show this recent.
