Jake (Pirate)

Jake is a young pirate boy who is under the wings of Peter Pan and serves as the main protagonist of the Disney Junior series Jake and the Never Land Pirates, voiced by Colin Ford.

Personality
Jake is a young pirate who was given the task to protect Never Land while Peter Pan left the island to explore the outside world. Before Peter left Jake was given a wooden sword made from a the Forever Tree in Never Land with special abilities so he can be a good leader.

Jake is a natural born leader, handsome, fearless, caring, and daring who cares very much for his crew and ship and is easily annoyed by Captain Hook's schemes. Jake treats Cubby much like a little brother and Izzy like a sister and more than a friend. Jake's closet friend and sidekick is his parrot Skully.

Jake's mermaid friend, Marina is said to have feelings for him as well. In the episode Jake's Starfish Search, Captain Hook kidnaps Marina's pet starfish and unlike most of the other times Hook's nabbed certain things, Jake seemed more worried than angry like usual most likely due to their feelings for one another. He seemed disappointed and worried when he invited Marina to a dance party but realized he doesn't know how to dance, believing he'll embarrass himself. He also shows to be a little nervous at times when he greets her in the episode "Pirate Rock".

Jake and the Never Land Pirates
In the show Jake constantly challenges Captain Hook and his crew as they commonly steal Jake, Izzy and Cubby's treasure. Along the way to get Captain Hook, the pirates collect gold doubloons which act as rewards for completing a task, which are called "pirate problems". At the end each episode, Jake and his crew gather up all of their gold doubloons and store them in their team treasure chest.
