**Luke Ross** (born (Luke Colson as he thought but real born) name is **Luke Olson**) was one of the main characters of *Jessie.* He was shown to be a very mischievous and irresponsible boy. He was adopted from Detroit, Michigan when he was 4 years old. Luke is the second oldest. Luke was portrayed by the late Cameron Boyce.

## History

Luke Ross was born in 1999, in Detroit, Michigan to Vanessa Olson, which was announced in Lizard Scales and Wrestling Tales. He was adopted at the age of 4 by Morgan and Christina Ross. Luke has a stuffed bear named Kenny The Koala.

In his first days of school, Luke quickly became popular among his friends and peers. He is shown to be athletic but does poorly grade-wise. Upon meeting Jessie, Luke quickly forms a crush on her but despite the fact that there's a seven-year age gap between them, he still tries to flirt with her. Luke's favorite thing to do is take advantage of his slightly younger brother, Ravi, but in the end, Luke gets what he deserves.

## Personality

Luke is a mischievous, sarcastic, cool, and a prank-loving boy. Several times he is shown to be bored out of his mind, especially when it comes to school, yet he is clever when it comes to playing tricks on his siblings and Bertram. He loves to do break dance.

Luke is nice and caring. Luke is a good kid, but he is shown to be self-centered when it comes to impressing girls or when he feels entitled to something. He is shown to be intelligent in Identity Thieves, but it was because he never tried, that he did poorly in school. But usually, he's an air-head, as he constantly loses thought when it comes to checking out or crushing on girls or almost anything else.

Luke is very talented at dancing, especially break dancing. He often finds toning his dancing skills down to be difficult. In the episode "One Day Wonders" he break dances while Jessie plays the song "Texas Guys" in Central Park. In "To- Con" he and Emma give Bertram salsa dancing lessons so that he can impress a girl he has a crush on, by showing him some "basic steps," that no novice regardless of their weight can keep up with. When Bertram's self-confidence at the dance contest gets the best of him, Luke takes his place.

The girl describes him as "a bit of a showboat," which is proven to be quite true when he and Emma win the contest hands down. He also had a crush on Bryn Breitbart, but finally realizes Bryn's true colors.

Luke has a terrible sense of hygiene. His gym clothes were able to knock out Mrs. Kipling. He doesn't care that much about his clothes as he has been known to rarely change his underwear. He hardly ever brushes his teeth and has a very smelly armpit smell, which he calls "a gift".

## Changes in Personality

## Relationships

### Jessie Prescott

Jessie is Luke's nanny and best friend who he has a crush on. Throughout the show, he constantly tries to hit on Jessie, as many times as possible, even though she makes it clear she's uninterested, but still doesn't manage to give up. Due to being an air-head he usually misunderstands the idea that Bertram and Jessie are pretending either acting or pretending to be a couple. He even gets creepy when it's revealed by Luke that he saved a DVD video of Jessie hanging out at the beach and that he placed a camera in Jessie's room to spy on her, however, Jessie found out about it and placed a note saying that he's a pig. (SEE: Lessie)

### Zuri Ross

Zuri is Luke's youngest sister adopted from Africa. They appear to have a good brother-sister relationship, due to the fact that they both commonly enjoy pulling pranks or making schemes on other people. (SEE: Luri)

### Emma Ross (2004-Present; older sister)

*"I am happy that you are Ross."*

— Emma to Luke.

Emma is Luke's older sister. They tend to fight a lot, but they still have some fun adventures together and can sometimes get along.

Emma and Luke are in some ways closer to each other than to other siblings.

Or looking at their skirmishes they really love each other. Emma shows how much Luke is dear to her when he wanted to find his biological mother and only Emma agreed to help him, whatever it takes. They also love to make fun of each other, always positive to each other and always there for one another.

She usually doesn't enjoy hanging out with Luke, because of his repulsive and air-headed personality. Also, usually enjoys insulting his sister but also deep down they do care about each other. SEE: (Luma)

### Ravi Ross

SEE: (Lavi)

Ravi is Luke's younger brother adopted from India and his best friend. Luke enjoys pulling pranks on Ravi, but they do share a good brotherly relationship. But, usually either manipulates him throughout his intelligence or constantly insults him about him not being able to get girls, being a nerd, never winning anything, or being nonathletic.

### Morgan and Christina Ross

They are the parents of Luke Ross. Luke is described as the child version of his dad, which is possibly where he gets his air-headed, immature and repulsive personality.

### Connie Thompson

Connie has an obsessive crush on Luke as seen in Creepy Connie Comes a Callin'. However, he doesn't like her back because he considers her fully creepy and insane.

Connie almost "married" him in Creepy Connie 3: The Creepening, as a plan to scare Luke into her arms but luckily, her uncle Boomer shows up in time to stop the “wedding”. See: (Lonnie)
