Description
Dr. Reece Drake is the older sister of Zoe Drake and works as an assistant to the paleontologist Dr. Spike Taylor at his research facility, the D-Lab. She is the daughter of two veterinarians who run the Tatsuno Animal Hospital in Sanjo City.
In terms of appearance, Dr. Drake is a young woman with long blonde hair and purple eyes, and she is rarely seen without her square-framed glasses, which are so integral to her look that others have remarked she is nearly unrecognizable without them. Her typical attire consists of a green top, a brown miniskirt, a white lab coat, and dark red high heels.
Her personality is predominantly calm, reserved, and monotonic, as she rarely displays overt emotions. Despite her quiet demeanor, she can become stern or frustrated when questioned or annoyed, and she is known to occasionally hold grudges. She demonstrates a notable amount of physical strength, which she has displayed by easily restraining Dr. Taylor. She also possesses a fear of deep water.
Regarding her role and motivations, Dr. Drake is the primary technological expert for the D-Team. She designed and built the original Dino Holders, the essential devices that allow the team to summon and communicate with their dinosaurs. She also created the upgraded DinoShot card activator. Her role in the story is largely one of support, providing technical assistance, conducting research, and monitoring the team's activities from the D-Lab. Her motivations stem from her professional dedication to paleontology and a personal drive to protect her sister and friends.
In the second season, Mesozoic Meltdown, Dr. Drake initially remains at the D-Lab with the characters Rod and Laura after the parents of the main cast are captured by the Spectral Space Pirates. Later in the season, she is taken hostage by the villain Seth and his Cryolophosaurus. While held captive aboard the pirates' ship, she is assigned to care for their dinosaurs. Using her resourcefulness, she exploits the dinosaurs' fear of her oversized syringe, nicknamed Big Bertha, to incite a stampede that overwhelms the guards as part of an escape plan. Following her recapture, she participates in a hostage negotiation by contributing family recipes and is ultimately freed after the Space Pirates are defeated.
Key relationships include her professional partnership with Dr. Spike Taylor, whom she often keeps in check with her sarcasm and physical strength. As an older sister, she has a protective and caring, if sometimes exasperated, relationship with Zoe. She also has a connection with Zander of the Alpha Gang, who develops romantic feelings for her, though her own feelings remain ambiguous.
Dr. Drake shows some development over the course of the series, particularly adapting from a purely support-based researcher to a more active participant when necessary, such as during the hostage crisis on the pirate ship. Her notable abilities extend beyond her technical genius to include holding a certified pilot's license for operating aircraft and the Backlander timeship. A well-known piece of trivia about her is her love of cake, and it has been mentioned that she has never had a boyfriend.
