Legend of The Dragon (TV Series) - Characters

Characters

Ang Jouyan

Ang (voiced by Alan Marriott) is fifteen years old. He is highly accomplished in martial arts and knows of the ancient philosophies of the Golden Dragon, along with his powerful twin sister, Ling. Ang has always thought that Ling would be the next Golden Dragon, mainly because she is the better fighter. They both go with Master Chin to the Dragon Temple to select the Temple's new Guardian; to the amazement of both twins, the Powerband selects Ang as the next Golden Dragon, not Ling. To power up, Ang must say "Empower the Dragon". His Powerband is gold color with an orange-gold gemstone and makes him muscular and lets him shoot orange/gold fire blasts and fly ('Dragon Fire').

Ang is torn once he finds out that Ling has joined the Zodiac Master and become the Shadow Dragon. Throughout the first season, Ang tries again and again to bring Ling back to the light of yang, but Ling, though she does help him out from time to time, is still bent on getting his Powerband. Ang still strongly cares about her, even if she is working for Zodiac Master. In Season 2, Ling has become the 2nd Golden dragon making them "Double Golden Dragons". With new abilities, they can fly, teleport, and become a real dragon.

Ang’s best friends are Xuan Chi, Guardian of the Temple of the Monkeys, and Beingal, Guardian of the Temple of the Tigers. Ang likes computer games and music; in fact, he devotes much of his spare time to these activities.

Ling Jouyan

Ling (also voiced by Alan Marriott) is fifteen years old. She is highly accomplished in martial arts and knowledgeable of the ancient philosophies of the Golden Dragon. She has a twin named Ang. Ling has always thought that, since she was the better fighter, she would be the next Golden Dragon. When Ang is selected, she is left filled with hatred, depression, anger and humiliation.

After leaving the Dragon Dojo, Ling is approached by the Zodiac Master, who asks her to join him with the promise that he will make her a Dragon. Ling agrees and becomes the Shadow Dragon. Her first attack on Ang fails, as he defeats her with one energy blast; she sticks with the Zodiac Master, who is trying to gain at least four of the Powerbands (preferably all of them) and revive the Emperor of Darkest Yin.

Ling still cares about her twin brother, even though they are now enemies by her choice. Ling loves animals and will never harm an innocent animal. Her allegiance to the Zodiac Master often wavers based on personal or family issues. Most of the time, she fights for him, but there are occasions when she helps Ang and his friends. To power-up, Ling must say, "Empower the Shadow Dragon". Her Powerband is dark blue/gold colour. Later, she also becomes a golden dragon and returns to good, this time when they are together they must say "Empower the Double Golden Dragon" to power up. Her powerband now looks just like Ang's. In the episode "The Heart of the Dragon," they can use their "Double Golden Dragon" powers to turn into an actual dragon with two heads, a red body and a golden stomach.

Ling's only romantic love interest seems to be K-ho the Shadow wolf guardian. Whenever the team needs to split up, Ling is always willing to partner with K-ho. In the last episode, Ling is seen shopping for clothes that K-ho will find attractive.

Beingal

Beingal is the barefoot Guardian of the Temple of the Tiger. The Temple is hidden on an island far away, deep in the jungle behind a waterfall. The Temple is filled with Tiger statues down each side of the aisle. She is tough, and when is transformed, she can fire long nails from her hands to injure her enemies. She has fallen in love with Ang, and gets very angry when another girl wants to steal Ang away. She is seen to be pretty by all the other temple guardians but Ang does not notice because he has always known her. Throughout the series, we get subtle hints that something is going to happen between her and Ang. To Powerup, Beingal must say, "Empower the Tiger". Her Powerband is green colour with a red/orange gemstone, gives her tiger stripes, lets her fire her tiger claws at her enemies and shoot green powerblasts.

Xuan Chi

Xuan Chi (voiced by Marc Silk) is the barefoot Guardian of the Temple of the Monkey. He is the only Temple Guardian that does not wear his Powerband, mainly because Temple Raiders raided his Temple and supposedly took his band when they kidnapped him. He escaped from them and went to the Dragon Dojo for help. Later on, he travels back to his temple to discover his Powerband was always there. The Temple Raiders came back to take it, but they lost it and Xuan has since been on a wild goose chase for his Powerband, eventually managing to get it back from the Zodiac Master. During the two part episode "The temple of the shadow dragon" the Emperor of the Darkest Yin, the Zodiac Master and some backup attempt to destroy the Dragon temple so that no one will be able to defeat him in the future. When a power blast from the Emperor and the Double Golden dragons hit Xuan Chi, the power from these blasts was enough to turn him into a real monkey. His Powerband is white colour with a light green gemstone and gives him extra agility.

Xuan loves his bananas and often acts like a monkey. He is sometimes seen by others as rude and stupid, but he has been Ang’s best friend since they met. His role in the series is mostly comedy relief.

Master Chin

Master Chin used to be the Guardian of the Temple of the Pig. He now runs a small little dojo/school for younger people to be hopeful future Guardians, such as Ling, Ang and Beingal. He taught Ang and Ling as their personal mentor. He is skilled in fighting and often uses old proverbs to teach Ang and his friends.

He teaches Ang how to be the Golden Dragon and how to improve his skills. He is always ready for every attack. Ironically, he taught Zodiac Master before he turned evil.

Zodiac Master

The Zodiac Master's real name is Woo Yin. He was born in the year of the Snake and thought he was going to be the Snake Guardian. Ultimately, the Snake Powerband selected someone different, and he chose evil as a result. His dream is to get all the Powerbands of the Chinese Zodiac, making him invincible.

His main goal is clear: Get four Powerbands and revive the Emperor of the Darkest Yin. He mainly goes after the Snake Powerband since he feels it should be his. He has a pet snake called King Cobra and uses it as a spy or to help him in fights.

When empowering a stolen Powerband, like the Snake, he would normally say “Empower the Darkest Yin, Snake.” He is always a great threat to every Guardian, but Ang the Golden Dragon often saves the day.

On an interesting note, despite supposedly being very powerful, he is often easily defeated even in situations in which he has the clear advantage (such as having three Powerbands to Ang only using his Dragon Powerband).

The Emperor of the darkest yin

Main antagonist in episodes 26-39. Little sister is called Yin-wi.

Lo Wang

The Guardian of the Temple of the Rooster, an excellent strategist. His appearance and voice are based upon a young Sean Connery. His Powerband color is white colour with a purple/blue gemstone and gives him armour that resembles a rooster. His character is an obvious parody of James Bond.

Chow

The Guardian of the Temple of the Dog. His Powerband is gold colour with a purple/blue gemstone and gives him more body hair and longer claws.

Shoong

The Guardian of the Temple of the Pig. His Powerband is black colour with a light purple gemstone and makes him more muscular than fat and gives him armour. In one episode Shoong appears to be Ang and Xuan chi's Master.

Ming

The Guardian of the Temple of the Rat. Her Powerband is black colour with a deep pink gemstone and gives her a long plait like a rat tail and long metal 'claws' and armour. She also has similar appearances to the rat, such as the teeth and her ponytail looking very similar to a rat tail. The rat powerband allows Ming to change into whatever she wishes. However this transformation is not perfect as there is always something noticeable one can tell the difference (such as when she turned into a snake the Gem was seen on the back of her neck, and when as Ang she still had her ponytail).

Robbie

The Guardian of the Temple of the Ox. An 8-year-old boy, but when he impowers the ox, he turns into an older man. His Powerband is gold colour with an orangey-pink gemstone and gives him armour with an ox-horned helmet.

Billy

The Guardian of the Temple of the Ram. His powerband is gold colour with a turquoise gemstone and makes him look half ram half human with curley ram horns and rock-like skin, he is able to create small 'earthquakes'.

Cobra

The Guardian of the Temple of the Snake. Her Powerband is red colour with a bright yellow gemstone and gives her green, snake-like skin, gives her venom and a very elasticated body.

Hye

The Guardian of the Temple of the Rabbit. Seeing as she cannot afford to allow herself strong emotions, she cannot quite feel anything much for Ang, but tells Beingal that she is Ang's comrade in arms, and that she can not ever be replaced. Her Powerband is green colour with an orange gemstone but we never see her empowered. Her first appearance is in the episode Sister Sister.

Mana-Ho

The Guardian of the Temple of the Horse. A tall blonde woman whose laugh is reminiscent of a horse's whinny. Her powerband color is red colour with a blue gemstone but we never see her empowered. However in "The Last Dragon" the zodiac master empowers it along with the ram band so it probably looks similar to that.

K-ho

The Guardian of the Temple of the Shadow Wolf. Ling seems to be head over heels for this handsome young man, but Ang, on the other hand seems to dislike this "Lone Wolf." K-ho shows some signs that he likes ling but does not let it interfere with his concentration. He is, unlike most of the Shadow Guardians able to care about the universal balance, not taking over the world. In the later episodes K-ho teaches Ang and Ling skills to be better dragons, teleporting in particular. His power band is very similar to the old shadow dragon band before it was turned to a golden dragon band, with a dark bluish color. To power up, he must say "Empower the Shadow Wolf."

Yin Wi

The Guardian of the Temple of the Shadow Rat and "The Emporer's" sister.

Victor

The Guardian of the Temple of the Shadow Ox. Like the light ox guardian he is also a kid.

Chang Wo

The Guardian of the Temple of the Shadow Ape.

Sabre-Claw

The Guardian of the Temple of the Shadow Tiger.

All of the guardians can shoot power blasts which are the colour of their powerbands gemstone. An exception is Beingal who's power blasts are green.

The Jaguar King

A dead king that strongly believed in jaguars.

He appears in spellbound and falls in love with Beingal and hyptonises her so that she becomes his queen.

Tex

The Guardian of the Temple of the Shadow Stallion. We do not know if Tex is his real name or just an insulting nickname Yin Wi gave him. Similar to K-Ho, he does not want to join forces with the emperor and seems to care about the universal balance.
