Veronica is a character from the television show American Dragon: Jake Long. She is voiced by Tara Strong.
History[]
She is a female Arachne, a half-human/half-spider. She works as a merchant at a stand in the Magus Bazaar selling magical items.[1] Upon Fu and Jake's first encounter, Jake was taken by surprise to discover her arachnid lower half. Fu was trying to help Jake find a date for a school dance and tried to get him to ask her, as he thought Jake might be into girls with legs. However, Jake had a little problem with Veronica's "eight hairy spider legs".
Veronica was one of Fu's many "lady" friends, and apparently one of his still-active love interests. She made another appearance as an entry in the Miss Magical World Beauty Pageant to help provide Jake and company cover for their mission.[2]
Veronica was also seen in three other episodes,[3][4][5] where she phoned Fu with a warning that the Biker Trolls were back to wreak havoc. While she makes several appearances in the show, she generally did not play vital roles except for her part in the Miss Magical World Beauty Pageant as Jake's way onto Eli Pandarus' island, and in helping rescue Lao Shi from the Dark Dragon.[5]
