The "Dragon Lady" is the third most important character in Middle School the Worst Years of my Life. She is the one that always catches Rafe when he is doing his missions. She also is the one that does all his detentions with him. During detention she started doing different things with him. Talking to him, doing art projects, and just talking. It wasn't like a real detention. Rafe didn't mind this though. It was better than doing homework all the time and stuff. I have a feeling that without the dragon lady or whatever, there wouldn't be as interesting parts in the book. There wouldn't be any funny detention scenes or anything. She is the comic relief (if you will) when things go for the worse.
