Big brother to Megan and stepbrother to Josh, Drake is an expert musician and a ladies' man but he fails academically and is pretty lazy outside doing his hobbies.
Portrayed as a smooth, charming, laid-back slacker, Drake seems to care very little about any work he is asked to do, although he is quite intelligent musically - as he shows interest in playing the guitar. Besides music, another big interest of Drake's is his interest in women. However, it is mentioned many times throughout the series that does not do well in school - mainly due to his laid-back, carefree attitude, and in general, seems to care very little about doing terrible in school. An example of this is in Season 4 when he almost fails the 11th grade due to his bad tardies for gym class. Not only does he find women very attractive, but he also happens to be very successful with women - although part of this can be chalked up to his status as a musician (as this tends to single-handedly win many women over.) Drake, while being academically dumb, seems to be quite socially intelligent, as shown by his ability to charm others easily. Not only is he smooth when it comes to persuading others and asking women out, but he is also an amazing kisser, as many of his girlfriends seem to enjoy making out with him. Proving this is the fact that he is credited to be the best kisser by his current girlfriend Carly, and his ex-girlfriends Lucy and Christine, While he is a player when it comes to dating, he doesn't appear to be one to cheat on the girl he is currently dating.
Despite this, however, Drake seems to be quite the misogynist, as he often uses women as kissing poles and nothing more - at one point even comparing them to candy. This makes him a very shallow person, and his relationships - romantic and platonic - don't seem to go past the "having fun" phase. This makes him a very superficial person, and this superficiality is often mocked by his intellectually superior peers, such as Mindy and his teachers, Drake starts off the show as a very selfish person, as well as being very egotistical. Not only does he seem to have something of a superiority complex - actively demeaning nerds like Craig, Eric, and even Josh, because of his better looks and natural charm, but he is also a foolish person. He is seen to use, convince, and manipulate many people throughout the series, and seems to care very little about using these people. Drake is also occasionally dishonest, as he has a bad habit of telling lies, especially to his mother, Audrey. Megan, also, tends to lie to her parents - much like her brother. But, being the "baby girl" of the family, she tends to get away with it - unlike Drake. Despite his flaws, however, he is not above seeing the error of his ways, breaking down and full-on crying after his life falls apart when Josh cuts him out of his life. Drake also learns to be more selfless as the show goes on, such as when he gave Josh his blessing on his relationship with Mindy, as well as vowing to keep his Christmas promise to Mary Alice despite the high chance of him being arrested. He also learns to appreciate Josh more as a brother, calling him brother rather than step-brother as the show goes on.
