By the end of "Body Guard Duty", he clearly took it too far. He may actually like being a girl, so he remains in his disguise and change his name to Frankie. His buddies are weirded out by his [[CreepyCrossdresser lifestyle choice]].

The first Huntsclan members (who probably weren't called the Huntsclan, but whatever) were human warriors that aided Dragons against evil magical creatures before TheMasquerade set in. They were gifted with power from the Dragon they partnered with in the form of a dragon-shaped birthmark that passed down through their bloodline and made them stronger when fighting with their chosen dragon (like Pactios in ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima''). As the Magical World faded into hiding the humans felt abandoned by their partners and gradually turned into the Huntsclan; they still drew on the power of dragons through the trophies they took from them like the skull helmets all full Huntsclan members wear, though this was a weaker and perverted use of the relationship. They kept track of the bloodlines so they could steal infants like Rose when they manifested the mark, now sincerely believing it was their destiny to kill dragons instead of being partners with them. Rose's relationship with Jake reopened the original partnership and explains why she can handle multiple Huntsclan members and fight the Dark Dragon to a stand-still.

[[WMG: Dragons of [[MixedAncestry mixed human/dragon heritage]] will take at least some features from the non-dragon parent's heritage.]]
To clarify, Jake and Haley having more European-looking forms is because their father is Caucasian/of European descent and even though he's not a dragon, he still had an impact on their genetics, which translated into traits from European dragons entering their genetic code. It's possible that humans of other ethnic backgrounds would have similar effects on part-dragon offspring.

[[WMG: Humans who reproduce with dragons can affect their children's dragon forms.]]
Given that in real life, a child can have features that neither parent displays, the idea that a dragon could inherit hypothetical dragon traits from a human parent isn't completely out of left field.

[[WMG: Male dragons undergo multiple form changes but keep the same basic color scheme while female dragons keep a fairly consistent appearance but undergo several color changes.]]
This is the most logical explanation for why Jake went from Western dragon to more Asian Lung with minimal to no color changes while Haley went from purple to pink.

A variation on the above, the Dark Dragon was originally a protector of the magical community like Jake. But unlike Jake, he couldn't handle the stress and lack of respect the job demanded, and eventually broke in [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope the worst way possible]], turning on the people he once defended.

* Alternatively, it's possible that Susan's potential for dragon powers simply manifested ''extremely'' late compared to other dragons, but by the time they did, everybody had assumed that the magic skipped her and had given up trying to develop her powers. So while she does have dragon powers, she lacks the proper training and motivation to access them.

[[WMG: Magic didn't skip Susan's generation]]
* In-universe, the episode "The Rotwood Files" reveals that the dragons actual form is that of their dragons' form. If the shapeshifting abilities truly skipped her generation, then by all logic how can a dragon who cannot shapeshift continue to masquerade as a human? If dragon powers "skipped her generation", then she would be locked in dragon form, not her human form.
** So it's possible that her mother was a member of the Huntsclan[[note]] In the first episode when Jake notes how hot Huntsgirl is, Lao Shi warns "Grandpa has been there." We haven't heard anything about Jake's grandmother, so it's plausible that Grampa keeps silent about her - and discourages Jake's romance with Rose - because things between Grandpa and his Huntsclan girl eventually went very, very bad.[[/note]] and found a way to permanently lock her daughter in human form, especially considering that we are shown that it's entirely possible to remove a dragon's powers, and Susan simply uses the excuse of "magic skipping a generation" to avoid talking about it.
* According to Eddie Guzelian and Matt Negrete, Susan was originally going to be a dragon herself.



* I believe you are sort of correct. But Disney higher ups said no to that.
* AFAIK, Disney said "No" to Chang being Jake's grandmother. Producers [[WordOfGod Eddie Guzelian and Matt Negrete]] said that the issue of Jake's grandmother would have been dealt with in the third season, if it had come to pass. At one time, there ''was'' a plan to reveal that Jake's grandmother was killed, and so Jake would seek revenge, but was dropped early on. Still, it doesn't rule out the theory.

In Season One, we mostly see him with sandals. A few times we see him barefoot indoors. But in Season Two, he seems to go barefoot outdoors as well. That's another reason why he wears a robe, so no one can see [[DoesNotLikeShoes he doesn't wears shoes]]. His foot fungus seen in "Old School Training" is either the result of being barefoot or the reason why he goes barefoot.

During the second season he never noticed that the dragon Rose supposedly slayed at the Academy was in fact the American Dragon until #88 and #89 didn't flat-out told him that, and was later convinced it wasn't when Rose brought Jake's moulted skin, without noticing any difference. Also, he somehow failed to notice that the American Dragon was identical to the Dragon that kicked him in a pit with a giant crab monster years earlier, triggering his deep hatred for dragons and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking deepening his then-highly pitched voice]] (thanks to a bit of TimeTravel). Either he's an idiot, or his sight is so low he's pratically half-blind, and he will never wear glasses.

Not only was one of Rose's parents is related to him, s/he was also once a Huntsperson. My guess points to Rose's mother. She and the Huntsman were very close, and their family were members of the Huntsclan and a very high-ranking and influential class. But then Rose's mother began to think their ways is wrong. The Huntsman was shocked to hear that and tells her never think that again. She herself fell in love with a Dragon she was chasing. The two have a secret relationship like Jake and Rose. But the Huntsclan soon finds out and ambush him. Rose's mother was devastated to find her lover's [[DeadGuyOnDisplay dragon head mounted]]. The Huntsman was furious of his sister's transgression which shamed their family within the Huntsclan ranks. Realizing there's nothing left for her in the clan, she decides to defect (a move that's considered treason and punishable by death), changed her name and began a new life. She eventually meets her future husband who's in the dark of her past. After many years, the Hunstclan was able to find her upon her pregnancy, which the Huntsman handled personally by taking Rose to raise her as a Huntsgirl to make up for her mother's shaming of the family. As far as the Huntsclan is concern, Rose's mother is dead to them. She'll likely approve of Rose's relationship with Jake because it reminds her of something she once had that could have grown.

[[WMG: Rose's sister became a slayer in the new timeline.]]
The skulls granted Jake's wish by making the Huntsman take her instead of Rose.

[[WMG: There's no new timeline, only memories of it. Due to this, Rose's twin is still around the world searching for her lost sister, and their parents have both sets of memories]]
Jake and co. remembers only the timeline of Rose as a member of the Huntsclan (and Jake kept ''physical proof of it''), and Rose somehow kept her skills as member of the Huntsclan and could recover her memories of the old timeline. This makes little sense and create a time paradox (including how or why Jake made his wish), unless the Skulls didn't have enough power to actually change the timeline and did the best approximation they could: change memories and various records to make it look that way. Jake and co. kept their memories because, being present when Jake made his wish, their memories were too strong to be changed.
In the meantime, Rose's twin had ran from home to try and find the twin sister her parents always complained of having lost and to which she was unfavorably compared (like "If Rose was still here she'd act better than this"), if only to show them what her sister actually was. When Jake made his wish, the Skulls tried to change her memories, but her wondering 'why the hell am I here?!' prevented it, and she's still searching for her.
Finally Rose's parents got both sets of memories due the other daughter's escape to search for Rose, but fakes remembering only the set where Rose was not kidnapped due to fear of losing their daughter again, and react harshly at Jake because he's there to take her back to the old life of danger. Sadly for them, Rose recovered her memories of the Huntsclan by seeing the picture...

[[WMG: American Dragon is [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Zutara]] in an alternate universe.]]
Jake and Rose are voiced by the same people who voice Zuko and Katara, and the two of them are in a relationship. The fact that Jake happens to be able to turn into a dragon and even looks a little like Zuko only adds to the theory.




to:

* Confirmed. It's revealed in the episode "The Rotwood Files" Jake's ''true form'' is that of his ''dragon form'', because Professor Rotwood is shown to be in possession of chemicals that can transform dragons back into their true form.

[[WMG: The show is an alternate timeline to ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'']]
One in which the Shadow Men choose not to create ''the'' Slayer. Instead, they opted to create ''many'' Slayers, of both genders and easy activation. And when the Slayers became the Huntsclan, they created the Dragons to contain them ''and'' do the Slayers' previous job, and it worked.

[[WMG: The Dark Dragon Refused The Call]]
We've seen what being a dragon does to someone. It drove Jake's sister into a complete wreck in less than a month. It's hell on Jake. People don't choose to become dragons. They're born into it and stuck in the role unless they screw up sufficiently. Maybe the Dark Dragon saw what this job did to people and refused the call. Maybe he decided that this was basically a caste system, and they were born into and stuck doing a thankless job nobody else wanted and suffering for it; and half of the job just existed to maintain a masquerade. The Dark Dragon is considered evil by the council because he rebelled against the system, and he's considered by the leaders to be more dangerous than the Huntsclan because he's the only one with the will and power to overthrow the system.

[[WMG: Jake's first season form was because the Dark Dragon was unofficially the "first" American Dragon.]]
Basically the Dark Dragon is native to North America but due to his actions, the Dragon Council doesn't consider him to be an American dragon. However his status does effect things; Jake and Haley look American at first because the Dark Dragon is technically the first American Dragon but the world acts on the principles of Fisher Kingdom and once the half-Chinese Jake has been in his protector role long enough, his heritage affects his form, setting a precedence for dragons in America to reflect the "melting pot"/"salad bowl" nature of the country's citizens; given Haley is Jake's sister, her form changes in a similar fashion though because in America, there's some personalizing of forms, she doesn't match him exactly. It's just that no one realizes this in the canon time-frame since it's the first case of it. It's likely there are native dragons in other countries that influence the forms of the protector dragons and if other countries suffered a "Dark Dragon", they might go through a similar process.
