Ms. Birch

All info was provided http://adjl.wikia.com/wiki/Ms._Birch Ms. Birch (voice by Suzanne Blakeslee) is a fictional character from the cartoon series American Dragon: Jake Long''. She is Hayley and Olivia's new teacher at the School for Gifted Children, replacing Mrs. McGuire from Season 1. She only appears in the episode "Switcheroo" in Season 2.

Physical Appearance
Ms. Birch is a skinny and somewhat old woman (probably around 40-50 years old). She has about shoulder-length dark grey hair tied into a low bunion. She wears a teal vest over a plain white shirt, a long dark blue skirt and a pair of black shoes. She also has a pair of eyeglasses resting at the tip of her nose and a tear-shaped necklace around her neck.

Personality
Being a grade school teacher, Ms. Birch is a very friendly and kind person, especially towards children. She stands in front of the school gates every morning to welcome the students in. She constantly praises everyone, and even holds Haley in very high regard and seems to favorite her over other students (as shown in "Switcheroo" when she restlessly waited for her to arrive at school when she came in late). She always tries to see the positive side of things and will rarely lose her smile.

Although she still retains her positive attitude, Ms. Birch later develops a better sense of discipline towards her students in response to Jake (trapped in Haley's body) causing constant havoc during class hours in "Switcheroo". For example, in the very same episode before this ordeal, she accepts Haley's late entry to school without giving out a sanction. It is no longer the case when Ms. Birch makes a quick reappearance in "Being Human".
