[edit] Character Information

Drake shares a bedroom with his stepbrother Josh, and sometimes blame each other into various schemes launched by Drake's

sister, Megan Parker. Drake currently does work, and appears to have a habit of "collecting" as many girlfriends as possible.

Even though he has good grades in all of his subjects, it has been implied that Drake has an aptitude for math; he received 60 on his algebra test (after studying past 2 pm). In addition to this, Drake managed to calculate how long they could ride the Demonator and get home before their parents in the episode The Demonator (when asked by Josh how he could figure that out and still be failing math, Drake replied, "Because this is important."). However, there is a contradiction to his "math skill"; he is seen forgetting and misplacing a decimal in a division problem. He appears to be skilled in chemistry, albeit with the help of Josh. It is also given that Drake can speak French fluently. Preferring to just relax and play his guitar, Drake merely does not bother to put any effort into his studies, or much of anything else, including mispronouncing "America" as AH-mar-EE-kah and coming up with medical excuses featuring impossible medical problems (such as "twisting his liver" so that he could no longer read, write, or bathe) and ridiculous final signatures (such as Bob the doctor). Drake is known to act out and never get caught, but was eventually caught in Dune Buggy and after that, Drake has been grounded numerous times. Drake always wants most of the action. When he thinks there's a burglar in the house he uses a golf club and gives Josh a sprayer that makes things smell like a "nice spring meadow."

Drake is shown as a "typical teenager"; he does not know what a transcript is, what dehydrated means, that there even is a New Jersey, who Mark Twain was, the difference between cumin and cinnamon, or how to spell "television". He is also a poor driver; he had taken his driving exam six times before finally getting his license (even then, he nearly killed himself, Josh, and Megan by failing to look at the road; he almost crashed into a truck).Drake's style of clothing is peculiar. He always wears tight blue jeans. He never wears shorts. He also never wears anything sleeveless. He either wears a long-sleeve or short-sleeve T-shirt(it is unknown why Drake never wears anything sleeveless because many of his short-sleeve shirts nearly reach his shoulders). Drake regularly performs and rehearses with his band (he plays lead guitar). His favorite band is the fictional Zero Gravity, whose lead singer Devin Malone he met backstage at one of the group's concerts.

In the 48th day, he cries because he lost all the girls to his brother Josh Nichols.
