Overview
Bo lives in a castle with Dezadore (or just "Dezzy" for short) the dragon. He is younger than Bo, and is naturally curious and often gets into trouble as he is not as physically adept as Bo. Bo's mentor on the show is Wizard. When she encounters challenges, he gives her advice and knowledge of how to achieve the quest at hand.Characters

She encourages children at home to go on adventures by actively joining her in a variety of movements that assist her on her quest. Bo faces challenges and obstacles and receives small rewards and achieves victories along the way.
- Dezadore (or just "Dezzy" for short): Dezzy is a pink and green dragon, and lives in the castle with Bo. Since he is younger than his friend, he sometimes needs a little help with things.
