History Characters / JackieChanAdventuresTheChanClan

--> "So this is why your niece is always with you? And here I just thought you were horribly irresponsible."

* {{Badass}}es: They've battled all kinds of evil, from low-life criminals to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu demonic overlords]].

* BadassFamily: While Tohru isn't related to the others, he is still considered part of the Chan clan, and the family business is demon busting (and selling antiques).

* {{Badass}}: He regularly takes on mobsters, sorcerers, and demons.

* {{Badass}}: She follows her uncle anywhere to take part in his adventures, regardless of what may be said to her or attempted to keep her home. She uses her cunning mind to outwit grown-up villains and [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu supernatural foes]], and gets away with her all of her blunders either by fixing them up or turning them into advantages. Yep, that's one little {{badass}} GuileHeroine.

* LittleMissBadass

* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Before he [[HeelFaceTurn became a good guy]], he threw his weight around.
* {{Badass}}: He could at times be the better of Jackie in his early appearances. Later on, he also defeated the original three Dark Chi Warriors single-handedly, after Jackie struggled with them the entire episode.

* TechnologicallyBlindElders: Uncle doesn't know how to use computers and fax machines. In fact he smashed Jade's laptop because he thought it was cursed by dark magic.

** TheHero: Jackie.

* GlassCannon: Jackie could be seen as a downplayed version of this trope. For one thing, he's quite fast and agile, and decently strong. He's not by any means frail or a sucker in defense, but he appears to be somewhat susceptible to pain as he often winces when he gets a hit.

* YouWatchTooMuchX: He several times responds to Jade's peculiar comments as her reading comics or seeing movies too much.

* NiceGuy: Seriously, even his yang side turned out to be a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.

* WouldntHurtAChild: In "Through the Rabbit Hole", he has the opportunity of hurting the past Valmont, but ultimately doesn't use it. Chow lampshades it.
-->'''Chow''': ...Chan wouldn't hurt a kid. Not even mini-Valmont.

%%* BavarianFireDrill: She has used this technique a couple of times, especially in "And He Does His Own Stunts".

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: She has her share of moments, like unwittingly solving Valmont's riddle ("Tohru Who") and kicking Ratso to an Oni Mask ("Samurai Ratso"). In the first season's finale, she attempts to destroy Shendu after he has been turned into a statue again, but that makes the demon a spirit able to try and free his siblings.
-->"''Oopsie.''"
* OneOfTheBoys: She doesn't get a female role model until [[ClassyCatBurglar Viper]].

%%* PreAsskickingOneLiner: Loves to give these.

* DetectEvil: He gets the "willies" when evil forces - Daolon Wong, Dark Chi Warriors... - are near. But he doesn't get them when Oni are near.

* CassandraTruth: She keeps sharing her outrageous stories of adventuring with her uncle. Naturally, her teacher and classmates won't believe her.

* GoodIsNotSoft: Jade has occasionally shown to be more ruthless than the other heroes. For example, without hesitation or remorse, Jade fires the Dragon Talisman to kill Shendu, who had already lost his {{immortality}} and was [[TakenForGranite turned into a statue]] again. Granted while [[AssholeVictim Shendu]] is an [[AlwaysChaoticEvil evil]] [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman demon]], he was already defeated and defenseless.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: She has her share of moments like unwittingly solving Valmont's riddle ("Tohru Who") and kicking Ratso to an oni mask ("Samurai Ratso").

* PluckyGirl: This girl is not easy to break.

* {{Badass}}: She follows her uncle anywhere to take part in his adventures, regardless of what may be said to her or attempted to keep her home. She uses her cunning mind to outwit grown-up villains and gets away with her all of her blunders either by fixing them up or turning them into advantages. Yep, that's one little {{badass}} GuileHeroine.

** The Fighter: Jackie engages in physical combat the most, rarely using magic at all. And he tends to fail in speaking things out.
** The Mage: Uncle's main purpose is to prepare the spells, participating in action the least.
** The Thief: Jade is the [[SnoopingLittleKid most]] [[StealthHiBye stealthy]] and [[GuileHeroine cunning]].
** Tohru becomes a mix of the Fighter and the Mage.

** The Cynic: Uncle rarely gives a crap about the concerns of others when he is trying to focus on the duty of saving the world.
** The Optimist: Jade is not easy to discourage from adventuring.
** The Realist: Jackie is the OnlySaneMan who tries to maintain the peace of the group.
** The Apathetic: Tohru is mostly a background assistant who rarely brings forth his own opinions.

** The Sanguine: Jade is the most keen on enjoying the life at hand, ditching anything boring.
** The Choleric: Uncle can be quite bossy, especially when he is focusing on the task at hand.
** The Melancholic: Jackie is the most easy to stress out and he [[OnlySaneMan vocally laments about the craziness around him]].
** The Phlegmatic: Tohru is a reserved helper, who tends to suffer everything quietly.

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: In "Little Valmont, Big Jade".

* BadassNormal: She doesn't even have Jackie's experience and she still holds her own against supernatural threats. However, she is also more willing to use the Talismans.
%%* {{Badbutt}}

* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Despite being a mischievous BrattyHalfPint, she shows signs of this trope at times. It's even lampshaded in "Lost City Of The Muntabs".

%%* FreudianTrio:
%%** Id: Jade
%%** Superego: Uncle
%%** Ego: Jackie (with traits of a Superego) and/or Tohru

* AfraidOfNeedles: Other than dangerous criminals, the one thing he dislikes is getting a shot.

** Throughout the series, he continues questioning the believability of new supernatural threats/phenomenons and Uncle's expositions. Unfortunately for him, he's almost certainly proved wrong 2 seconds later.
