| 9 | A werewolf from Crescent Moon High who joins the MH student body after the two schools merge. The most physically imposing werewolf of the school and a close friend of Romulus. |
| 10 | * TheBigGuy: Of Crescent Moon High, but he remains the most muscular werewolf at Monster High and overall one of the biggest students. Only Manny and Finnegan are in his league. |
| 11 | * PunnyName: His name is literally the letters of the word "dog" phonetically spelled out and then squashed back together when pronounced. |
| 12 | * TheQuietOne: Actually has some things to say when he first shows up, but the moment Romulus appears on screen, he never talks again. |
| 13 | * ShoutOut: Definitely designed after {{ComicBook/Wolverine}}, who'd been in the mainstream spotlight since the 2000 movie ''{{Film/XMen1}}''. |
| 14 | * ToylessToylineCharacter: The vampire couple has gotten as far as trademarked names, but neither Dee O'Gee nor Romulus ever had a hint of being considered for a doll. |

| 19 | -->'''Voiced By:''' Cindy Robinson |
| 20 | The daughter of vampires, she joins the MH student body after its merge with Belfry Prep. Never seen without her glasses; and in ''Fright On'', never seen without her boyfriend and partner in crime Bram Devein. |
| 21 | ---- |
| 22 | * AlphaBitch: During ''Fright On'', she unsuccessfully attempts to secure a place at the top of the Monster High food chain. And in ''13 Wishes'' and ''Frights, Camera, Action'', even after the whole vamps vs. Lycans spat is resolved, she still picks on Howleen and Draculaura. |
| 23 | * BreakoutCharacter: Gory's shown up in multiple CG specials and webisodes, and is very well-liked by fans. |
| 24 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Natural for a vampire. |
| 25 | * LaserGuidedKarma: You just ''had'' to pick on Draculaura the day she got selected to be queen of the vampires, didn't you? |
| 26 | * PetTheDog: During her brief stint as a black carpet [[{{Bouncer}} bouncer]] in ''Frights, Camera, Action'' she lets Ygor into Elissabat's premiere. However, she gets back at Lord Stoker for turning her down as queen by ''[[NotOnTheList kicking him out]]'' of the premiere. |
| 27 | * PointyEars: Typical for her monster type. |
| 28 | * RavenHairIvorySkin: As a vamp, yeah. |
| 29 | * SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: Even at the Vampire Majesty world premiere and ''crowning of the next Vampire Queen'', she still wears her Belfry Prep outfit. |
| 30 | * ToylessToylineCharacter: Directly invoked, since she lost a 2014 poll for who the next doll would be to Finnegan Wake. |
| 31 | * VillainDecay: Used to be a hellish AlphaBitch, but now she's a bit nicer. Emphasis on "a bit". |

| 35 | [[quoteright:304:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smallhellscream.png]] |
| 36 | -->'''Voiced By:''' Cam Clarke |
| 37 | An ex-monster-hunter touting himself as a monster-humans relations expert, he comes to MH claiming to help the school with its monster-gration. However, he's actually planning to turn the werewolves and vampires against each other, ensuring that monsters will face an even larger divide. |
| 38 | ---- |
| 39 | * ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: Gets turned to stone, just like he did to Bloodgood with gorgon powder. |
| 40 | * BigBad: Of ''Fright On''. |
| 41 | * BigBadDuumvirate: With Ms. Crabgrass. She's probably the only monster he trusts closely, and aids him in his schemes against other monsters. |
| 42 | * EgomaniacHunter: What he actually is, and most likely where he got all his potions. |
| 43 | * EvilWearsBlack: His most prominent color. |
| 44 | * FantasticRacism: Towards monsters, and believes keeping them separated will keep normies safe. |
| 45 | * FauxAffablyEvil: A baddie without a doubt, but generally genial right up until the monsters go up against him at the gym. |
| 46 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: One over his left eye. |
| 47 | * LaserGuidedKarma: In the last scene of ''Fright On'': he and Crabgrass open the door to the gym for the Skullastic Superintendents to look in, see the monster students fighting, and shut the school down... but they're all happily partying. When he and Crabgrass try to make a break for it, they get TakenForGranite courtesy of Deuce. Bloodgood's suggestion for the new statues? The catacombs. |
| 48 | * ManipulativeBastard: When Bloodgood was gone, he's able to turn the vampires and werewolves against each other in one day by playing to historical wounds and personal insecurities (like Howleen's desire to be important). Since he was willing to attack them all with potentially deadly powders, it's safe to say he didn't actually care about any of them. |
| 49 | * PickOnSomeoneYourOwnSize: His scheme to start a monster interspecies war starts at a ''high school''. |
| 50 | * PunnyName: On Van Helsing, the monster hunter from {{Literature/Dracula}}. |
| 51 | * VillainousCheekbones: But of course- it adds to the menace. |
| 52 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He is convinced that the only reason the humans are still a thriving species is that the monsters have been too busy fighting one another to bother attacking humans. Thus feels his actions are protecting humanity. |

| 56 | [[folder: Kieran Valentine]] |
| 57 | [[quoteright:346:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smallvalentine.png]] |
| 58 | -->'''Voiced By:''' Jonathan Lipow |
| 59 | The antagonist of ''Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love'', he was Draculaura's boyfriend (for a week) before her family had to flee their old home about 500 years prior to her attending Monster High. An emotional vampire, he's ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin (a vampire who subsists off of emotions, not blood). To this end, he'd use his charms and looks to steal love from many ghouls, until he lost his powers attempting to steal Draculaura's heart after his first attempt centuries before was cut short. He regains them later from working in an animal shelter (that's heavily implied to be magical) and learns that stolen emotion cannot sustain any emotional vampire. He was released as a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive doll alongside Djinni Grant in the summer of 2015. |
| 60 | ---- |
| 61 | * AmbiguouslyGay: While the original plan was for him to be an ArmoredClosetGay that eventually learns to accept himself, parts of that character arc have seeped into his journals. One entry mentions he befriended a Monster High boy and exchanged numbers with him, with heavy implications on him saying the day wasn't a total bust thanks to that encounter; and a lot of his more remorseful entries place emphasis on him not wanting to be ashamed of himself anymore. |
| 62 | * TheAtoner: In the second graphic novel "I Only Have Eye For You", he tries to make up for his past actions by "helping" the couples get together before the dance. His actions usually backfired though, and nobody even knew it was him until the last chapter. In the end, they all realize that he really was trying to help and that his actions did help the couples get closer - even if it wasn't the way he intended. They accept him but ask that he acts more openly next time. |
| 63 | ** In his SDCC diary, he becomes the finder of Djinni, and attempts to use his first wish to "fix the things he had broken", but [[ExactWords ends up in a janitor's outfit at Monster High after Draculaura's Sweet 1600]], before being recognized by a minotaur and risking being thrown back into The Bog Of Eternal Stench. He uses his second wish to go back home. |
| 64 | * BigBad: Of 'Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love?' |
| 65 | * BigBadDuumvirate: Had one with Toralei Stripe in ''Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love?'' He wanted Draculaura's heart, she wants Draculaura's unhappiness. |
| 66 | * TheCasanova: Has broken dozens of girls' hearts. |
| 67 | * CharmPerson: Has the ability to hypnotize girls to fall in love with him, which he does to Draculaura to get her away from Clawd. It's part of the deal as an emotional vampire. |
| 68 | * CoolShades: Which he used to tell when a girl's heart is ready to be "harvested"--[[NoOntologicalInertia and break when he's defeated]]. The first pair he had crosses over with RoundHippieShades. |
| 69 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: If not friendship, at least acceptance. |
| 70 | * ExactWords: He tries to use a wish from Whisp to go back to Monster High and "fix what was broken", but he gets sent back to fix the railing around the bog as a repairman, and doesn't get the chance to undo his mistakes. |
| 71 | * GreekChorus: The three clouds who follow him in ''Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love?''. |
| 72 | * HeelFaceTurn: Realizes his wrongs at the end, but he blows his chance to fix things through wishes. |
| 73 | * HypnoticEyes: This is how he captures hearts. |
| 74 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: After finding Whisp and wasting his first two wishes, his last wish is for them to always be friends, which grants each of them automatic contacts and phone reception between the monster world and Whisp's lantern. |
| 75 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Sort of - he never really loved Draculaura, but since he hurt her the most with his past actions he puts the most effort into "helping" her and Clawd in the graphic novel. |
| 76 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Falling into the Bog, along with Toralei. |
| 77 | * {{Yandere}}: For Draculaura. |
| 78 | * ManipulativeBastard: Has little concern for the monsters involved in his schemes, and uses them to further his goals. |
| 79 | * MeaningfulName: "Kieran" means "dark-haired", a classic feature of vampires which he has. |
| 80 | * MommasBoy: He cries for his mom at the end of ''Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love'' when his plans fail. |
| 81 | * OurVampiresAreDifferent: He feeds off emotions, not blood. |
| 82 | * WaxOnWaxOff: A goblin lady sets him to work in an unwanted monster animal shelter after being fraught with stench for a very long time, leaving him with not much company and not much to do. Duties include caring for the animals (which include [[ManiacMonkeys flying monkeys]]) and cleaning their cages, and anticipating [[DungFu what they tend to throw]]. It turns out his dedication to his work pays off and earns the love of the animals which allows his powers to return, getting rid of the stench. His experience also leaves him with a pathological fear of the aforementioned airborne primates. |
| 83 | * SharpDressedMan: Always wears a nice suit. |
| 84 | * SouthernGentleman: Puts on a fake accent to make himself sound like this when he's trying to charm people. His real voice is closer to a general American accent. |

| 88 | [[quoteright:294:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smallcupid.png]] |
| 89 | -->'''Voiced By:''' Erin Fitzgerald |
| 90 | The daughter of Eros, she runs the school's love advice radio show and is featured in the 2012 special ''Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love?''. Her Monster High doll was sold exclusively at Wal-Mart stores alongside a diary in its second release. Currently transferred to Toys/EverAfterHigh. |
| 91 | ---- |
| 92 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Stark white with limbs that fade into black with a lace pattern. |
| 93 | * ATeamFiring: Her freaky flaw is her seriously bad aim, which was a plot point in the special. |
| 94 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: She's in charge of teenage love, but she's a terrible shot, and winds up causing as many problems as she solves. Young love is notorious for being messy and confusing. |
| 95 | * ElegantGothicLolita: A natural fit for a creepy Cupid. |
| 96 | * {{Foil}}: To Abbey. C.A. encourages people who follow her radio show to flirt and laugh at the other person's jokes even if they aren't funny, while blunt, outspoken Abbey says they should just be brutally honest. On a more direct level, the two are also seriously divided between winter and spring for the best season of the year. |
| 97 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: The reflections of light on her eyes are shaped like hearts. |
| 98 | * HappilyAdopted: Reveals this in an interview with the official Monster High Tumblr. Her true monster heritage is unknown to everyone, herself included. Ghoulia thinks she may be a bone elemental, but Cupid realizes that she's not a monster or a [[Toys/EverAfterHigh fairy tale]], and that she just goes wherever she's needed. |
| 99 | * InnocentBlueEyes: This helps to offset her creepiness and tie her to her theme. |
| 100 | * InLoveWithLove: Maybe not herself, but she says anyone like this is considered her friend. |
| 101 | * LampshadeHanging: She just sort of shows up out of nowhere as a radio host, but her diary reveals that that was exactly the intention- she had been attending MH invisibly for a while Bloodgood sought to find a plausible way to introduce her to the monster population. |
| 102 | * LoveGoddess: Daughter of Eros, but a much creepier take on the idea. |
| 103 | * MeaningfulName: Subverted. While Chariclo and Arganthone were both women from Greek mythology, neither really has anything to do with Cupid's character. |
| 104 | * OverlyLongName: Alludes to this being the reason that she goes by C.A.: "I use my initials because my name is scary long, hideously unpronounceable and you know you're just going to call me 'Cupid' anyway." |
| 105 | ** Confirmed in the diary, where we learn that it stands for Chariclo Arganthone. |
| 106 | * PerkyGoth: While she's one of the creepier-looking students at MH, she's genuinely cheerful and sweet. |
| 107 | * PutOnABus: Destination: Toys/EverAfterHigh. |
| 108 | * SymbolMotifClothing: Hearts, as seen on her dress, hairstyle, make-up, shoes, and archery equipment, included in her bow-and-arrow earrings, quiver bracelet, bow-and-arrow ring, and bow-shaped heels. |
| 109 | * TimeAbyss: She's as old as teenage love. |
| 110 | * TheMatchmaker: Her hobby. Varying degrees of success in this field. |
| 111 | * TheReveal: She is the reason that Cleo & Clawd were a couple for a short time-- she mistakenly believed they were meant to be together. |
| 112 | * ShotInTheAss: '''Simultaneously''' with Clawd in ''Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love?'' by '' '''[[HoistByHisOwnPetard herself]]''' ''. |
| 113 | * UncannyValleyMakeup: She only paints the middle of her lips, giving her a blank or harsh look resembling a porcelain doll. |
| 114 | * WingedHumanoid: Subverted. Cupid appears to have heart-shaped wings made out of a ribcage, but these wings are actually attached to her with a collar around her neck and seem to serve as a costume piece to fit into Monster High better, rather than being any part of her anatomy. This continues into ''Ever After High'', where Cupid's now-feathery wings tellingly go through ''multiple'' distinct versions, and all continue to attach with a pretty transparent collar that disguises the attachment less than the other winged EAH characters with the same. |

| 119 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smallandy.png]] |
| 120 | -->'''Voiced By:''' George Newbern |
| 121 | A monster boy who lived alone in Skull Shores for a long time, as he was sent away by his parents due to a [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk-like condition]] that makes him grow in size and ferocity when he's angered. He also has a strange sense of familiarity with Frankie-- despite never having seen her before-- apparently building statues of her all around the island. This is actually because Frankie's the IdenticalStranger to a human scientist whom he had a great friendship with years prior, but that doesn't stop him and Frankie from becoming good friends (it actually helps). She convinces him to return to civilization, and stay at Monster High. |
| 122 | ---- |
| 123 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Purple. |
| 124 | * BeastAndBeauty: With the scientist girl and Frankie. |
| 125 | * GeniusBruiser: A big dude who can rip an intercom out of a wall, but is very eloquent and able to build a very complicated home out of a [[BambooTechnology wrecked boat and rudimentary jungle stuff]]. Also able to build near lifelike statues. |
| 126 | * TheHermit: He was tired of constant fear and apprehension at his condition, so he willingly decided to begin living on Skull Shores. The [[HollywoodNatives Tikis]] are too scared of him to confront him, so he was happily living by himself until the scientist (and later, the ghouls) find him. He's isolated himself from contact with others for so long that he's shrouded in legend. It's legitimately surprising for Frankie and the viewers when we find out the Beast of Skull Shores is usually... a kid. |
| 127 | * HornedHumanoid: In both forms, bigger when he becomes the Beast. |
| 128 | * {{Mutants}}: By his account he just inexplicably has the ability to transform into a giant beast when stressed. |
| 129 | * NatureHero: Shipwrecked on Skull Shores as a child, he's attuned to the place. |
| 130 | * OlderThanTheyLook: The ghouls find him in the 21st century, and he looks like a (horned, musclebound and purple) teenage boy, but he was probably born in the 17-1800s. |
| 131 | * PointyEars: They're also [[ExpressiveEars expressive]]. |
| 132 | * ToylessToylineCharacter: Fandom poster boy for this trope. |
| 133 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Although he's supposedly going to Monster High now, he pretty much hasn't been seen since ''Escape From Skull Shores''. |
| 134 | * ShipTease: With Frankie in ''Skull Shores''. |
| 135 | * ShoutOut: A giant monster from the jungle who forms an attachment to our beautiful heroine and can only be calmed down by her when provoked to horrifying rage? Film/KingKong much? Also, his first name is one to Creator/AndySerkis, who did suit work for everyone's favorite ginormous gorilla. |
| 136 | * YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: When he experiences hate, anger, or fear, he becomes so terrifying that he "becomes the Beast". He loses almost all coherence in the special when driven to this, and the only thing that brings him back to normal is Frankie. |

| 142 | A human [[ConMan conman]] who initially plans to exhibit the ghouls in a freakshow when he finds them adrift, but when he sees Frankie's uncanny resemblance to a human scientist he decides to use her as bait for the Beast of Skull Shores (that's Andy). |
| 143 | ---- |
| 144 | * BadBoss: To Kipling, a young monster he keeps as his assistant. Farnum berates him on his "horrible" appearance (that is, he looks perfectly fine except for his [[UnusualEars big ears]]) and forces him to wear a BrownBagMask. The ghouls teach Kipling not to take that treatment anymore, and at the end [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal he finally gets back at Farnum]]. |
| 145 | * BigBad: Of ''Escape From Skull Shores''. |
| 146 | * FantasticRacism: Considers himself intellectually superior to all monsters. |
| 147 | * FauxAffablyEvil: As a showman, he uses a façade of congeniality to get what he wants-- but if his plans are failing or he's getting challenged he quickly becomes aggressive. |
| 148 | * GoodHairEvilHair: A pretty DastardlyWhiplash-esque mustache-- sans the beard. |
| 149 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Throughout the movie, he prides himself on his humanity but at the end when he makes ready to give Andy to a freakshow, his beleaguered monster assistant Kipling flings him over a ledge into tar after he's fallen through a passing fleet of birds-- effectively [[TarAndFeathers tarring and feathering him]]. He's then carted off by the employees of the freakshow, who mistake ''him'' for a freak. |

| 176 | * MeaningfulName: His name sounds like "rock", while the spelling is based on the French art style Roc[c]oco. |

| 179 | * StrawMisogynist: A light case that only applies to SKRM, but is definitely in play. Of note is his reaction when his longtime teammate turns out to be a girl (Rochelle) and leaves the team in anger over their behavior. He's only embarrassed over having played with a girl on the team. He does eventually see the error of his ways. |

| 243 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Last we got to see of her is when she's left alone in the desert and walks off while the story follows the fate of the lantern. |
| 244 | * YouthfulFreckles: It's the white dapples deer usually have. |

| 248 | [[quoteright:298:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smallgigi.PNG]] |
| 249 | -->'''Voiced By:''' Jonquil Goode |
| 250 | The daughter of a genie who initially appears in the ''13 Wishes'' special. While her powers are abused by Whisp's manipulations, by the end Whisp takes her place and Gigi loses her powers...mostly. That's not a bad thing, as she's finally able to reap the benefits of longtime friends. |
| 251 | ---- |
| 252 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Bright pink. |
| 253 | * BenevolentGenie: She cares for her Finders and hates that she has to leave after her service is over, and is very upset when Whisp shows up and corrupts Howleen. |
| 254 | * CreepyLongFingers: Part of her magical features, and possibly to invoke scorpions' large pincers. |
| 255 | * GenieInABottle: She's found and freed from this status by Howleen. Due to her long periods of imprisonment, Gigi is claustrophobic and loves to see new places once she's relieved of the genie job. |
| 256 | * GoldMakesEverythingShiny: Gigi wears a ''lot'' of it, and an orange-gold tone is even one of her main hair colors. |
| 257 | * LiteralGenie: It's not of her own volition though, that's just how genie powers work. Tries her hardest to warn people of this before they start wishing because when they start she can't help them. She once got her mouth ''forcefully shut'' until her servitude was up after trying to warn a finder. |
| 258 | * MythologyGag: All of her hairstyles include a ponytail section, due to said style being a staple of a genie's look ([[{{WesternAnimation/Aladdin}} male]] or [[Series/IDreamOfJeannie female]]), and all of her shoes have an upturned point (yes, even her high-tops), which is also a classic genie feature. |
| 259 | * OlderThanTheyLook: [[VagueAge No official age]], but since her father lost her birth certificate between the rule of King Darius and [[UsefulNotes/JuliusCaesar Caesar]] she's definitely at least OlderThanFeudalism. Her father says she's around 15 physically, however. |
| 260 | * OurGeniesAreDifferent: Has some scorpion-like biology. Also, she offers thirteen wishes instead of three--which is actually an attestation to her experience. We learn from Djinni's diary that, in the MH universe, genies ''start'' as only being able to grant three wishes. |
| 261 | * PointyEars: Rounded upward with a point that echoes her shoes. |
| 262 | * PunnyName: "Gigi" sounds similar to "genie", and "Grant", while a fairly common English last name, is used to invoke the verb "to grant" [wishes]. |
| 263 | * RedOniBlueOni: Much like Jackson and Holt, she serves as the blue to Whisp's red. Gigi is more calm and timid, and Whisp, even after her redemption, is more active and a bit snarky, too. While this is a reversal of their hair colors, their eyes correspond to the idea. |
| 264 | * ScaryScorpions: Her main motif, due to her desert origins. Her skin is plated like one, she has long fingers and a scorpion tattoo, her signature hairstyle is shaped like a scorpion tail, her pet is a scorpion, and they feature in her accessories. |
| 265 | * ShipTease: With Finnegan in his basic release diary. |
| 266 | * ShoutOut: In "Scareful What You Wish For", she [[Series/IDreamOfJeannie folds her arms and blinks when granting wishes.]] |
| 267 | * SymbolMotifClothing: Scorpions, and abstract symbols resembling rounded scales. |
| 268 | * YouthfulFreckles: These help to add to her innocence and appeal. |

| 272 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lilwhisp.png]] |
| 273 | -->'''Voiced By:''' Jonquil Goode |
| 274 | Gigi's LivingShadow, created by [[Characters/EverAfterHigh Giles Grimm]]. Was officially released as a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive doll alongside Kieran Valentine in the summer of 2015. |
| 275 | ---- |
| 276 | * ADogNamedDog: "Djinni" and "genie" are essentially two terms for the same thing, making her this. |
| 277 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Purple. |
| 278 | * BigBad: Of ''13 Wishes''. |
| 279 | * {{Bookworm}}: Once she gets some free time in the lantern, she's surprised to discover that she is an avid reader. |
| 280 | * BrickJoke: Before he meets Whisp, Valentine's diary details an unpleasant community-service experience cleaning up after flying monkeys, leading him to never want to see one again. Whisp's diary profile says she's heard about flying monkeys, and that she might consider one for a pet. |
| 281 | * CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Howleen figures out what drove her to megalomania and uses her last wish to let Whisp trade places with Gigi as the new Genie of the Lamp, thus freeing Gigi and giving Whisp the position she always wanted. However, this still counts as a punishment-- Gigi now gets to chill out with monsters at her own leisure and on her own terms, while when Whisp's not with a Finder, she has a lot of pretty lonely downtime, and she's bound to the rules of the lamp. Valentine's pretty much her only constant friend and [[LongDistanceRelationship he can't really hang out with her, since her time as his genie is up]]. |
| 282 | * DarkIsNotEvil: When she's reformed, she decides to keep her shadow look and still shows interest in a darker fashion, but she's much better morally. |
| 283 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: With Gigi, the Monster High ghouls, and Kieran Valentine. |
| 284 | * DrivenByEnvy: She ''really'' suffered from jealousy over Gigi's role as the Genie, and that helped her stir the same feelings in Howleen. |
| 285 | * EvilTwin: To Gigi. |
| 286 | * FacialMarkings: Black symbols over and under her right eye, depicting the phases of a lunar eclipse. |
| 287 | * FogFeet: This is what she has in her shadow form. When the eclipse and Howleen's wicked wishes turn her solid, she gains legs. Her SDCC doll has a unique system that allows you to choose between the two, with a pair of legs and a shadowy tail that connects to her torso. |
| 288 | * TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: A world-domination variant. Whisp's jealousy of Gigi's success led her to go out and corrupt Gigi's finders and use them to abuse Gigi's wishes to give herself more power and eventually take over the world with the aid of an eclipse. |
| 289 | * HeelFaceTurn: Probably brought about by her realizing all her years of scheming came to nothing, and that being able to travel around the world is better than slavishly trying to control it. |
| 290 | * LampshadeHanging: She realizes that her work-wear and causal wear are pretty much identical, and she's well aware that her favorite food (scarrot cake) has no relevance to her monster type or personality, [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall unlike everyone else's]]. |
| 291 | * LivingShadow: In ''13 Wishes'', she became visibly more "real" as the Finder -- in this case, Howleen -- makes the wishes she suggests and grants her more control. Even so, her legs still turn into shadows much like Twyla's. |
| 292 | * LoopholeAbuse: Whisp eventually realized that she wasn't restricted under the same rules Gigi was, so she left the lamp and began her treachery. |
| 293 | * {{Lunacy}}: The solar eclipse boosts her abilities, with the moonlight solidifying her shadowy form and granting her power. |
| 294 | * MeaningfulName: "Djinni" is the older Arabic version of the Anglicized "genie", with the former often used in modern works as a more ominous or sinister term for the being. "Whisp" is short for "whisper", her manipulative method of reaching the dark side of a Finder's subconscious, but also sounds like "wisp", referring to her shadowy matter and initial FogFeet. |
| 295 | * MirrorCharacter: With Howleen: both feel overshadowed by their older sister figures. This never really becomes a direct part of the conflict, but it does help Whisp appeal to Howleen's darker side, and later helps Howleen sympathize with Whisp and come up with her final wish. |
| 296 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: If you had only seen ''13 Wishes'' and not known the dolls' billing, you wouldn't know that "Whisp" wasn't her actual name. |
| 297 | * OrangeBlueContrast: In her brief makeover as a lamp genie, Whisp gets blue accents whereas Gigi has orange/gold. |
| 298 | * PaletteSwap: As Gigi's shadow, excepting her tattoos, earrings, colors, and lower body, Whisp is just an alternately-colored version of Gigi. Her second doll gives her some different fashions to avert this more, but her hairstyle still mimics one of Gigi's[[note]]Freaky Field Trip Gigi's, to be exact[[/note]]. |
| 299 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Until her redemption, this definitely applied. |
| 300 | * {{Retcon}}: She becomes a "lamp genie" like Gigi at the end of ''13 Wishes'', becoming physical flesh and blood and looking just like Gigi with white and blue swapped in for black and gold. However, her SDCC doll release says she changed her appearance back to her old shadowy look (though it's her solid form as seen in the movie's climax) to stay true to herself. Out-of-universe, of course, this is to allow collectors to have a doll that represents Whisp's most recognizable (and more unique) design. |
| 301 | * RunningGag: The lantern's "You are summoned" notice in her diary, and her frustration with the actual voice until she finally gets it to sound encouraging and friendly. |
| 302 | * ScaryScorpions: See Gigi, as they're physically identical. Her only difference is that she has more scorpion tattoos than Gigi, with some going down her left arm and the back of her right hand as well as their shared chest tattoo. |
| 303 | * SealedEvilInACan: The lamp, which she shares with Gigi. Eventually, she realizes that she doesn't need to stay behind while Gigi's active... |
| 304 | * SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Her "I ♡ Fashion" doll has a pair of knee-high shoes made of scorpion-like bones. |
| 305 | * TheSleepless: She offhandedly mentions in her diary that she doesn't need sleep. |
| 306 | * SymbolMotifClothing: Chunky zig-zag shapes, as seen in her earrings and one of her second doll's skirts. These seem to reference the shards of her magic mirror. |
| 307 | * VagueAge: Since she's Gigi's shadow. She just goes with 15, to go along with Gigi's age. |
| 308 | * WeCanRuleTogether: She offered Howleen unlimited power at her side even after it becomes clear that that's not really what she wants anymore. The offer was most likely a desperate farce. |
| 309 | * WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: When the eclipse occurs, she gains this look, either out of some effect of the moonlight or her desperation for her plan to succeed. |

| 312 | [[folder:Twyla Boogeyman]] |
| 313 | [[quoteright:326:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smalltwyla.PNG]] |
| 314 | -->'''Voiced By:''' Jonquil Goode (2010-2021), Creator/KaylaCromer (2022-Present) |
| 315 | Daughter of the Boogeyman. Reserved and non-confrontational, she has the power to move through shadows (called shadow-jumping). Although now very skilled at it, her signature diary reveals that it took a substantial amount of practice. She's introduced as Howleen's closest friend in Generation 1. |
| 316 | ---- |
| 317 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: A unique example; she has lavender skin, with her limbs fading into dark grey (in G3, pink) shadows at the extremities. |
| 318 | * AnimalMotifs: |
| 319 | ** Twyla tends to have an association with rabbits. Some of her dolls, such as her G3 and unreleased Howling Hoodies doll, have rabbit motifs or invoke rabbits. Also helps by the fact that her pet is also a literal dust bunny (named Dustin). |
| 320 | ** She also has a dust mite motif- her G3 signature doll has cobwebs in her ears and a pair of dust mite earrings. |
| 321 | * AnimalEaredHeadband: Her G3 doll comes with a pink hat with bunny ears, ala [[{{WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers}} Louise Belcher]]. |
| 322 | * AscendedExtra: Her Freak du Chic release zig-zags this. While it's more elaborate and unique than her appearance in the corresponding webisodes, it's a Target exclusive. |
| 323 | * BigCreepyCrawlies: A pattern that shows up in some of her outfits, likely to represent dust mites. |
| 324 | * BreakoutCharacter: Out of any of the special-introduced characters, Twyla may have had the biggest impact. She had several G1 dolls after her debut and enjoyed narrative focus in multiple following webisodes and specials, and became the first character introduced by a G1 special to receive dolls in all three incarnations of the franchise. Her debut in G3 was also early, with her being one of the starting-assortment cast members alongside the Original Ghouls and bigger cast staples like Deuce and Toralei. |
| 325 | * ConsistentClothingStyle: Her dolls all feature a Victorian-influenced style with ornamental details based on features of beds, doors, and old furniture to incorporate fears of a creepy nighttime bedroom (the monster under the bed or in the closet) and a classic haunted house. Twyla's clothes also often reflect pajamas, befitting her nature as a monster who frightens people trying to sleep. |
| 326 | * CoolHouse: The family Boogeymansion, which is also a BigFancyHouse and has {{Bizarrchitecture}}. A huge place with stairs that seem to go wherever they please, doors that act akin to in-house portals, multiple secret passageways, plus a huge room of tons of bottles of magical morphing sand. Basically, like a disorienting not-quite-nightmare in house form. If it weren't for Twyla with them, the ghouls would get lost every time they visit. |
| 327 | * CloudcuckoolandersMinder: To Howleen most of the time, but also to Toralei in ''Frights, Camera, Action'' during her stint as the judge in "Cute Court". |
| 328 | * CreepyBlueEyes: Her G2 eye color. |
| 329 | * CreepyMonotone: Speaks quietly in a dull and gravelly voice. |
| 330 | %% * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Post-reboot (see above). |
| 331 | * DeadpanSnarker: Goes with her quiet demeanor. |
| 332 | -->'''Draculaura:''' *after being transformed with boogey sand* Twyla, you're a genius!\ |
| 333 | '''Twyla:''' Draculaura, you're a ghost! |
| 334 | * DamselInDistress: In Electrified, when Moanica locked her in a cell. |
| 335 | * DisabledInTheAdaptation: In the G3 reboot, Twyla is confirmed to be autistic and hypersensitive to noise, wearing noise-canceling headphones made of cobwebs to help soothe her discomfort. |
| 336 | * DreamStealer: A good example, as she hides under normie beds to take their nightmares and eat them, rather than adding to them like she and her father are rumored to do. |
| 337 | * ElegantGothicLolita: Has shades of this due to her Victorian fashion sense, but her ''Electrified'' doll plays it straight, with a huge hair bow and collar. |
| 338 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: G2 gives her some lighter swirls in her irises to resemble shadows. |
| 339 | * FriendToAllChildren: As revealed in her New Scaremester diary, Twyla is shown to be this as she is fond of eating the nightmares of children, especially those who are orphaned or in vulerable situations, since it helps makes their situations better. |
| 340 | * GlowingEyes: All the better to '''[[CreepyCute watch you sleep with]]'''. This also applies to all of her physical dolls before Freak du Chic--her sclerae had glow-in-the-dark paint, which was not advertised on the box, serving as a spooky surprise feature. |
| 341 | * HighClassGloves: Her Supercharged doll gives her one arm faded into shadow from the elbow down, rather than both fading from the wrist down, creating an [[FashionableAsymmetry asymmetrical version]] of this effect. |
| 342 | * LampshadeHanging: Does this occasionally, such as telling Spectra in ''Haunted'' that they've already been told they're not supposed to be on River's yacht? |
| 343 | * LivingShadow: Subverted. Twyla can melt into the shadows and use them for transportation, and her limbs are usually faded into shadows, but she's solid for the most part. Her various doll appearances play with the distribution of the shadows on her body, suggesting that they either shift organically or can be concentrated according to her preferences. |
| 344 | * MamaBear: Her pet peeve is vacuum cleaners because her pet is a literal dust bunny who would be quite vulnerable to them. |
| 345 | * MeaningfulName: "Twyla" is a real name that both sounds like and means "twilight", the beginning of the night. Since kids usually have early bedtimes, this is when she'd be active in the normie world. |
| 346 | * MythologyGag: Twyla's first G3 doll is in the "Creepover Party" line, playing into her heritage as a dream monster, and said doll happens to be wearing what is essentially a comfier pajama version of her G1 signature outfit. |
| 347 | * NiceGirl: Twyla is a shy but kind ghoul, and despite the animosity between monsters and humans, Twyla uses her powers to undo the nightmares her dad creates, especially those of children. |
| 348 | * OnlyOneName: Initially no last name had been given for her. Her Scaremester planner and Freak du Chic poster give "Boogeyman" as her last name. |
| 349 | * ThePigPen: Dustin is shown to be. When he tries to help Watzit clean his kennel, he only makes it dirtier. |
| 350 | * RedOniBlueOni: Between her and her best friend Howleen. Twyla's the blue. Their sides of the paradigm are outlined in their color schemes, too--[[ColorCodedForYourConvenience Howleen's current shock of hot pink hair and omnipresence of warm color]] [[HairContrastDuo contrast to Twyla's mellower mint, violet, indigo, black, and lavender scheme]]. |
| 351 | * ShrinkingViolet: But if Howleen needs her, she'll be there. |
| 352 | * ShyBlueHairedGirl: She's shy, and both of her main hair colors are blue-toned. |
| 353 | * StealthHiBye: Anywhere that's dark, Twyla can and will do this. |
| 354 | * SymbolMotifClothing: Cobwebs and four-legged bugs. |
| 355 | * ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: Comes with being the daughter of the Boogeyman. Each of her dolls has different variations on the "nightmare monster" and "creepy bedroom" motif, though each features bugs or spiderwebs in some way. |
| 356 | ** Signature Twyla has doorknob earrings and a door knocker belt, a spiderweb dreamcatcher design on her purse and bracelet, and the heels of her platform creepers are made to resemble carved wood from antique furniture, like bedposts or closets. |
| 357 | ** Twyla's New Scaremester outfit resembles pajamas, and her purse and portfolio are textured like damask wallpaper, which, as ''Franchise/TheHauntedMansion'' references, can often be interpreted as forming scary faces in the patterns. |
| 358 | ** Twyla's Coffin Bean release has a spiderweb dreamcatcher-patterned outfit, that resembles pajamas. |
| 359 | ** ''Haunted'' Twyla has bed-shaped shoes. |
| 360 | ** Freak du Chic Twyla is a clown, invoking coulrophobia which is common in children, and her legs are extended to an [[UncannyValley uncanny level]] with stilts. Said stilts are carved in the same way as signature Twyla's heels, and the Dustin that comes with this release is [[CymbalBangingMonkey holding cymbals]]. |
| 361 | ** ''Electrified'' gives her a lolita ensemble to invoke a CreepyDoll, and her shoes have doorknobs and windows on them. |
| 362 | ** And lastly, her pet dust bunny, Dustin, who's made from dust under the bed but also resembles a worn-out [[LivingToys plush rabbit]]. |
| 363 | * QuirkyCurls: Her Freak du Chic doll gives her an updo of tight curls to go with her clown look. |
| 364 | * UnusualEars: G3 Twyla's ears give the character her first unusual sculpted detail--the outer folds of her ears connect to the side of her head by fanning out into a cobweb shape. |
| 365 | * VictorianLondon: She borrows her fashion sense from this era to add to her creepy-bedroom theme. |

She was having a huge amount of conflict and didn't believe she was feeling the emotions she was singing-- turns out when you pay a teenager to sing songs you wrote about your love life it can be creatively limiting. |
| 372 | ---- |
| 373 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Like Wydowna, she's stark black. |
| 374 | * AscendedExtra: Her first appearance in ''13 Wishes'' was relatively minor. Later she was a major character in several webisodes and the movie ''Boo York, Boo York''. |
| 375 | * CatGirl: A black cat monster. |
| 376 | * ConsistentClothingStyle: Catty's dolls often have a striking ostentatious quality that reflects her pop star status and feature broken mirror motifs to tie into her superstition theme. |
| 377 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Pink hair, pink eyes. |
| 378 | * FirstNameBasis: She gently reminds Billy that she is now a Monster High student and that he doesn't need to call her by her full name. |
| 379 | * IdolSinger: When she's seen in Boo York it causes a stampede. |
| 380 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: While she doesn't hate her position, she never forgets that underneath her talent and fame she is a normal ghoul and prefers to be treated as such when she attends Monster High. That's an endeavor with varying amounts of success. |
| 381 | * InformedAttribute: More like informed clothes, as she mentions shoes with opened-umbrella heels in her New Scaremester planner, but none of her dolls have them. |
| 382 | * MeaningfulName[=/=]ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: "Catty" is obvious, and "Noir" is French for "black". |
| 383 | * MythologyGag: Her relationship with Seth Ptolemy, since cats were sacred to the ancient Egyptians. |
| 384 | * OfficialCouple: With Seth... ''Pharaoh'' Ptolemy. |
| 385 | * OpenTheIris: In ''Boo York, Boo York'', she does this regularly. And it is ''[[CutenessOverload ADORABLE]]''. |
| 386 | * StandInPortrait: Utilizes this technique to hide from a fan stampede after learning it from the Disappearing Club (Twyla and Invisibilly) in "In Plain Fright". |
| 387 | * SymbolMotifClothing: She always wears a hint of broken mirror or silver on her clothes or, at the very least, wears patterns with shattered designs, and she'll wear the number 13 wherever she can. This highlights her belief in good luck, which in the Monster High universe comes in instances reverse to ours--[[NumerologicalMotif the number 13]], walking under ladders, seeing black cats, etc. |
| 388 | * TechnicolorEyes: Hot pink eyes. |
| 389 | * TeenIdol: 16. |

| 401 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Golden, scaly skin. |

| 403 | * CombatHaircomb: In "Tough as Scales", she throws one of the parts of her headdress to slice through a stalactite. |

| 406 | * DraconicHumanoid: Duh. |
| 407 | * DragonsUpTheYinYang |
| 408 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: She has narrowed pupils to look reptilian, and the irises are yellow with green spike designs radiating out from the pupil. |
| 409 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Her original outfit displays this, with one long sleeve and one bare arm. |
| 410 | * HairTriggerTemper: Lost an iCoffin that way. |
| 411 | * MassiveNumberedSiblings: The only daughter in a family of eight children. Because of such a competitive environment, she learned to be clever to stay on top. |
| 412 | * MeaningfulName: 'Long' (龍, Lóng) means "dragon", and 'Jin' (金, Jīn) means 'gold'. |
| 413 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Her bio makes clear she's been around for at least two centuries. If you interpret scales as years, she's 1500 years old. |
| 414 | * PlayingWithFire: Natch. She uses it for entertainment in her Freak du Chic act. |
| 415 | ** A little strange detail, as Chinese dragons do not normally breath fire unless [[WildMassGuessing they've been punished]]. |
| 416 | * PointyEars: Elongated, with a scalloped lower edge. |
| 417 | * SilkHidingSteel: She's elegant and fashionable, but she has a fierce temper and dangerous fire powers, and is clever and resourceful. This is more literal in the case of her dolls; her silky, sleek and slinky outfits cover up a more beefy body sculpt. |
| 418 | * UsefulNotes/{{Shanghai}}: From "Fanghai", China. |

She is also a proficient designer with practical roots who likes to infuse her culture and unique spirit into her work, which is a reason she came to Scaris to study under Madame Ghostier. |
| 426 | ---- |
| 427 | * TheApprentice: The bubbliest about her work of the three apprentices, she designs because it gives her a chance to infuse her own family heritage into her work. She continues designing after leaving Moanatella and Scaris, as well as other art fields. |
| 428 | * ArtisticLicenseBiology: Skelita has a nose[[note]]Though it's usually painted to look like the proper nasal cavity[[/note]] and her rib cage is contoured to resemble breasts, likely to make her outfits look more natural and to avoid implications of an anorexic body. Of course, since she's a skeleton monster and not the animate remains of a human, these features might be normal for her. |
| 429 | * AscendedExtra: She's a minor recurring character since her debut, but she's one of the only characters to appear in all of the other MH merchandise lines (vinyls, minis, Beast Freaky Friend, Pop!, Mega Bloks, etc.) |

The majority of her dolls have blue eyeshadow and star designs around her eyes, but Art Class gives her lavender eyeshadow with pink flower patterns, and the collector's doll has flower patterns and her usual designs done in white, which are picked out by grey masking. |

| 440 | * UsefulNotes/{{Mexico}}: From "Hexico" and based on the heritage of character designer Natalie Villegas. |

| 445 | * NonMammalMammaries: She's a ''skeleton'', but her body still has to fit the fashion dress template. To this end, her doll's upper ribs are rounded to mimic a bust. |
| 446 | * OrangeBlueContrast: Her Scarnival outfit gives her blue accents with a mostly orange-and-red ensemble, and her Art Class hair has a blue section and an orange one. |
| 447 | * ThePowerOfLove: This calls the family necklace back to the Calaveras family after thieves tried to take it. |
| 448 | * ShownTheirWork: Real sugar skulls have a name carved in the back, that of the deceased they represent. Under Skelita's hair, the name "Katrina" is molded on the back of her skull (which is a reference to a major Mexican figure in Dia de los Muertos, La Catrina). |

She has designed for so long that she ran out of ideas on her own, which is bad news for her: without constant attention, she literally fades away. To stave that off, she decided to start using up-and-coming designers to sustain her brand... by locking them up and forcing them to design for her until they run out of ideas, too. This racket gets found out by the ghouls, and she's upstaged so well by the designers she tried to kidnap that she [[DeaderThanDead disappears for good]]. |

| 520 | * GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Lavender and purple feature in all her released outfits (and for Freak du Chic, it's the main color of her hair). |
| 521 | * MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Sharp teeth protrude out from between her lips, resembling those of a bayou gator and are also CuteLittleFangs.

| 540 | %% * BlackAndNerdy |
| 541 | * CoolBigSis: Frequently writes to and chats online with her siblings to check up on them, and does her best to offer good advice, and makes a point to keep up with Howleen and sends her her latest outrageous stories. |
| 542 | ** [[AllThereInTheManual In her basic release diary]] after a group online chat checking up on her siblings, Clawd asks to speak with her solo. When she does, she learns he's sincerely terrified he'll lose Draculaura after she joins vamp royalty--he thinks he's losing "his best friend". Clawdia can see he looks like hell from how worried he is about her. He ends the call early with [[IHaveToGoIronMyDog an excuse about sports]], cementing her determination to get to the bottom of the situation. The entire encounter really throws Clawd's goofy behavior in the special into a different light. He was acting like that to keep Draculaura happy. |

| 562 | ---- |
| 563 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Lemon chiffon skin with a slight shimmer. |
| 564 | * ConsistentClothingStyle: Viperine's fashion is firmly seventies in style, with all of her dolls having long center-parted hair that gets paired with other features like headbands, wide sunglasses, and loosely-flowing dresses and psychedelic patterns for a bohemian look. |
| 565 | * CoolShades: The pink ones she sports in her basic and Ghoulebrities in Londoom release. |
| 566 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Reptilian pink eyes, and streaks of pink hair. |
| 567 | * CuteLittleFangs: Unlike the other two Gorgons, these are visible on her dolls. |
| 568 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: Her irises have silver sparkling centers and she has very narrowed snake pupils. |
| 569 | * FacialMarkings: She has a pink diamond-scale pattern on her forehead, much like the one Deuce has on his left shoulder. |
| 570 | * GorgeousGorgon: While not unattractive, she's a lot snakier than Deuce, though she also has humanlike hair in addition to snakes. |
| 571 | * GratuitousSpanish: Considering that she ''is'' Spanish, it's not a surprise. |
| 572 | * MyFriendsAndZoidberg: While she's fairly renowned herself, the Londoom pack of Elissabat, Catty, and Viperine places her at the bottom, with the box describing the trio as "The queen, the pop star, and the ghoul who makes them look good". |
| 573 | * PointyEars: They're flat and elongated. |

| 576 | * TakenForGranite: Averted in a case of ShownTheirWork. Medusa was usually said to be the only Gorgon who had a petrifying gaze; her sisters weren't. Thus, Viperine only wears her shades for fashion purposes and is perfectly fine without them. |
| 577 | * TheSeventies: Dresses in a bohemian hippie style, with flowy dresses, of her snakes forming a headband, and simple pastel outfit patterns. Her second doll has Skullette-shaped peace sign earrings. |

She takes her rule back after being found out and promises to change the vampire world for the better... not giving up her acting, of course. |
| 585 | ---- |
| 586 | * AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: It happens in ''Frights, Camera Action'' when she regains her position as queen, and it's double awesome for Draculaura finally getting her full vampire powers at the same time. |
| 587 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Pale purple. |
| 588 | * IAmVeryBritish: Has a British accent. |
| 589 | * BloodyHorror: Since she's a bit more gothic and not explicitly anti-blood, her dolls vaguely allude to it with her signature droplet earrings and her later dolls' usage of conspicuous bright red colors among her typical dark purple and black. |

| 594 | * DefectorFromDecadence: Initially flew the coop after realizing what the crown would've been under Stoker's indirect control--a tyrannical regime of vampire supremacist subjugation which flew in the face of what her and Dracula had been trying to prevent. When she realizes Draculaura has been chosen as a puppet ruler, she decides to do something to protect her friend. |
| 595 | * DramaticIrony: Draculaura doesn't like Veronica von Vamp's film work, considering her a sellout for the inaccurate films she stars in. Of course, she isn't aware that von Vamp is actually her old friend. |
| 596 | * ElegantGothicLolita: All outfits sport flairs of Lolita style, like bows, ribbons, and lace. She also carries herself with great elegance. |
| 597 | * TheGlassesGottaGo: Part of her disguise, as she used to look quite similar to a stereotypical nerd complete with braces. |
| 598 | * GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Purple hair, outfits, and (arguably) skin. |
| 599 | * InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: She's practically a purple version of Draculaura, and they were often mistaken as sisters. The dolls themselves do have different face molds, but they're very similar. |
| 600 | * KingIncognito: Her major plot point in "Frights, Camera, Action". |
| 601 | ** A smaller example in "Master of Hiss-guise", she comes to Monster High as a "normal everyday student" to do research for a new film. Thanks to Clawd she gets found out, and [[DraggedIntoDrag he's made to dress up as her to divert attention]]. |

| 603 | * NerdGlasses: She wore a chunky black pair of these with tape on the bridge and braces-- [[AnachronismStew 500 years ago]]. This is also part of her disguise when she pretends to attend MH. |
| 604 | * OlderThanTheyLook: She's 1,601. |

| 606 | * PaletteSwap: Invoked to highlight her similarities to Draculaura. While Draculaura's hair accent color is pink and her eyes are purple, Elissabat's hair accent is purple and her eyes are pink. |
| 607 | * PointyEars: Much like Draculaura's. |
| 608 | * PowerGlows: The Vampire's Heart: the ancient artifact that glows in her presence and marks her as the true vampire queen. |
| 609 | * PunnyName: On [[UsefulNotes/ElizabethI "Elizabeth"]] and "bat". |
| 610 | * RebelliousPrincess: She was destined to rule the vampires, but upon realizing her uncle wanted to instill her in a puppet regime ran away with the help of Dracula and Hexiciah Steam. |
| 611 | * TechnicolorEyes: Pink on her doll. |
| 612 | * TookALevelInBadass: The reason she originally fled was that she felt too weak to go against Stoker, but when the ghouls find her again there's no such luck for him. |
| 613 | * {{Retraux}}: Her Londoom outfit has some Brit-retro themes to it, being a bit schoolgirl-ish but retaining touches of her Victorian lolita style. |

When she returns to the castle with him (her ghoulfriends in tow), he reveals his plans to instill her as a puppet ruler and return vampires to what he perceives as their former glory.

| 695 | * UnusualEars: She has moth antennae on top of her head in lieu of ears. |
| 696 | * VisualPun: Because she's a moth and a skeleton, she has a humanoid interpretation of "exoskeleton"- that is, an exposed ribcage above her moth lower body. |
| 697 | * WingedHumanoid: She has huge hot pink wings that somewhat resemble a roaring toothy face. |

| 707 | * BreakoutCharacter: Since her introduction, she's also featured in several webisodes and was in Haunted as well, making her this to the other Freaky Fusion monsters. |

She mainly spies on Draculaura, who inspires her to become less shy and more fashionable. She keeps this power secret due to rumors stirred up by Revenant, her fellow ghosts' distrust of solids, and the potential consequences if they found out. |
| 751 | ---- |
| 752 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Usually blue, but [[ColorCodedEmotions changes colors based on how she feels]]. |
| 753 | * TheBlank: The face she has is a projection, and she can vanish it at will. |

| 755 | * CherryBlossomGirl: Pink hair, a ghost, and blossoms feature heavily in her clothes and accessories. |
| 756 | * ColorCodedEmotions: Changes colors based on how she's feeling. For example: the minute she recognizes Draculaura, whom she had been haunting, she turns green with shame or fear. |
| 757 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: Since her face is merely a projection that can disappear at will, her eyes are faint white outlines. |
| 758 | * GratuitousJapanese: Her bio is peppered with this. {{Justified|Trope}}, as she ''is'' Japanese. |
| 759 | * INeverSaidItWasPoison: She mentions the boogey sand the ghouls used to transform into ghosts, revealing that she had been the one haunting Draculaura. |
| 760 | * IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery: She evolves from a morose wallflower into a peppy and popular diva by copying Draculaura. At the end of the movie, she learns her lesson and even gets a hug from Draculaura. |

In her diary it's revealed that she's gained confidence, as well as a new fashion sense, from spying on Draculaura and friends and imitating them. Her favorite color, purple, likely reflects this. |
| 766 | * SpockSpeak: She writes like this, likely a result of her bilingual nature. Speaking, though, she doesn't exhibit it. |
| 767 | * SymbolMotifClothing: All of her accessories have faces, probably to make up for the lack of her own. |

| 770 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Kiyomi started haunting Draculaura out of admiration and a desire to emulate her. Unfortunately, her actions alert the ghouls to a disturbance in the Ghost World, kicking off the plot of ''Haunted''. |
| 771 | * {{Youkai}}: Noppera-bĹŤ are a type of faceless ghost from Japan, that sometimes imitate other people's faces to play tricks. Which makes sense when you consider she's been copying Draculaura lately, including her fashion sense and outgoing personality. |

| 781 | * CreepyCrows: Her pet, Cawtion. |
| 782 | * DemBones: While she has skin, her arms and legs are translucent, revealing the bones within, and her face appears to just be a bit of skin stretched over a skull, with no ears, skeletal lips, and a nose darkened in the shape of a nasal cavity. Judging by Monster High's guidance counselor (who is implied to be the exiled cousin of her father mentioned in her diary), reapers are fully skeletal when mature. River's pet crow is also stated to be skeletal. |
| 783 | * DontFearTheReaper: Lively, kind, and gregarious. |

| 789 | * MythologyGag: Named after the River Styx in [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek mythology]], which is the river new ghosts are boated down to enter the Underworld. She fills a similar role to Styx boatman Charon, providing transport from the world of solids to the ghost world (who is actually her uncle) |

| 795 | * SymbolMotifClothing: Chain bows appear everywhere in her ensemble. |
| 796 | * TemptingFate: In her diary (written before the movie), among the list of guidelines her father left for her before leaving for a reaper convention in Las Plague-as is don't use the boat to transport solids (aka living ghouls). She ends up laughing at it. Guess what happens during her introduction? |

| 826 | The Principal of Haunted High. As the Red Lady she went after various monsters and conducted fierce hauntings, but in doing so amassed a large amount of "detention chains"-- the indestructible but transferrable chains given to baddie ghosts --and was subsequently trapped in her own home in the Ghost World. Seeing how large her home was, she transformed it into a school and formed a plan to transfer all her chains to the students under the guise of punishment. There still weren't enough students to reasonably chain up, so she had the Hall Moanitors begin kidnapping ghosts from other schools (beginning with Spectra). This brings some of the MH kids to the school to investigate and rescue Spectra, and along with some of her old friends they find out Revenant's old identity and plan. After a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech (courtesy of Spectra) she realizes that she'll never be able to push all her chains on others, and [[HeelFaceTurn regretfully asks the students to accept her as principal knowing what she's done]] so she'll be able to truly earn her freedom. They forgive her, and the boundaries between the Ghost World and solid world are lifted. |

| 828 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Periwinkle. |
| 829 | * BigBad: Of ''Haunted''. |
| 830 | * ChildHater: Implied. Let's be real. If kidnapping only children and using them to carry your imprisoning chains for you doesn't scream hating a child, then nothing will. |
| 831 | * HartmanHips: This is part of her figure. |
| 832 | * HeelFaceTurn: She realizes her errors and takes back her punishments for herself, vowing to work off the chains honorably. |
| 833 | * HoistByTheirOwnPetard: It would have been better for her to wait out her sentence peacefully rather than craft another scheme. Now, she has even more chains to work off--a link at a time. |
| 834 | * LargeHam: Being a famed villain will do that, even when undercover. |
| 835 | * PickOnSomeoneYourOwnSize: Kidnapping and isolating monster children to shirk your chains definitely counts. |
| 836 | * QuirkyMinibossSquad: The Hall Moanitors, which include Present, Past and Future. The three are also a BigThinShortTrio: with Present as the short, Past as the big, and Future as the thin. If you didn't guess, they're expies of the infamous spirits of Literature/AChristmasCarol. |
| 837 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Combined with GlowingEyesOfDoom, when she's revealed as the Red Lady. |

This is most clearly exhibited by their diary covers. The metallic accents of the "City Schemes" dolls also count. Nefera's theme is gold, and Catty's is silver. |

Mouscedes, who hails from a classic fairy tale and wears 1900s socialite attire, represents the past, Luna's the daughter of an enduring cryptid legend, and has a very bold and modern look, representing the present, and Elle is a sci-fi concept with cool-toned shiny electronic outfits, thus, she represents the future. |

| 864 | * PowerCrystal: While not functional, her crystalline accessories reference this for her futuristic theme. |
| 865 | * PunnyName: Her name is a pun on LED[[note]]Light-emitting diode[[/note]], a type of light or display commonly used in 21st century devices. |
| 866 | * RidiculouslyHumanRobot: With the occasional snag in programming, due to catching stray alien distress signals. |

| 927 | An alien who comes from the rare and magical Crystal Comet, but the one that's in the movie is actually a SleeperShip. Her purpose for coming to Boo York is to retrieve a missing comet piece after she gets too far from home. |
| 928 | ---- |

| 930 | * AncientAstronauts: What her race was to the MH universe's Egyptians. |
| 931 | * ApocalypticLog: She came out fine, but the diary that comes with her doll reveals she's actually accidentally way far from her home planet. |
| 932 | * BizarreAlienBiology: A completely faceted/polygonal body, no toes, huge eyes, and three fingers on her hands. |
| 933 | * CameFromTheSky: Her spaceship has been orbiting in stasis for a while now, and she finally gets to land safely at the end. |
| 934 | * DistressCall: The six-note sound that comes from her spaceship. It becomes a leitmotif and part of ''Boo York, Boo York'''s final song, "Shooting Stars". |
| 935 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: 8-point-stars in her eyes. |
| 936 | * {{Herald}}: Keeps contact with Raven Queen and Apple White of Toys/EverAfterHigh, having been on a mission to confirm the existence of Monster High. She reports back to them in TheStinger of ''Boo York, Boo York''. |
| 937 | -->'''Astranova''': Monster High! It's real!\ |
| 938 | '''Apple White''': Ooh! Fableous! |
| 939 | * IChooseToStay: After landing from her comet, she decides to stay at Monster High. |
| 940 | * InnocentBlueEyes: She's a nice alien, so this applies. |
| 941 | * [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Indigo Skinned Space Babe]]: Or mauve, in the later release. |
| 942 | * MeaningfulName: "Astranova" means "new star" , which is fitting for both a young cosmic being and a budding musician. |
| 943 | * GlamRock: One of her favorite things and an inspiration for her style. |
| 944 | * PowerFloats: And makes others float too! |
| 945 | * PowerGlows: Sets the city aglow with her ship's fragments. |
| 946 | * SymbolMotifClothing: Similar to Catty's mirror shards, Astranova has a theme of crystalline comet accessories. |

| 951 | --> '''Voiced By:''' T.J. Smith |
| 952 | He's a kid {{mummy}}, and heir apparent of the prestigious Ptolemy family. He's also talented poet and street rapper who is forced to hide his talent to respect Lux's wishes for him to create a great dynasty, wearing a mask around her. In the events of ''Boo York, Boo York'', he finds love with Catty and finally gets to live his dream out of his mother's watch. |
| 953 | ---- |
| 954 | * ArrangedMarriage: His mother and the De Niles try to manipulate him into one with Cleo. |
| 955 | * CoolMask: While with his mother, he wears a solid gold one emulating King Tutankhamen's iconic funerary accessory. |
| 956 | * DeadpanSnarker: Shades of this. |
| 957 | -->'''Catty:''' So... where did you learn to [[FunWithHomophones rap]] like that?\ |
| 958 | '''Seth:''' Well, I don't know how to tell you this... [[CaptainObvious but I'm a mummy]]. |
| 959 | * DoNotCallMePaul: He prefers to be called '''Pharaoh''', not Seth Ptolemy. |
| 960 | * {{Guyliner}}: Heavy black eyeliner, justified with being from AncientEgypt. |
| 961 | * OfficialCouple: with Catty Noir. |
| 962 | * RebelPrince: Referred to as the "Prince of Boo York", he rejects his mother's plans to instill him as a mega-rich mega-powerful king of a dynasty to pursue his music. Raps about it, too. |
| 963 | * SharpDressedMan: When not dressed as Pharaoh, he dons a black tux with gold accents thematically similar to his mother's suit. |
| 964 | * ToylessToylineCharacter: A prominent case after other key male characters getting dolls, including in movie lines. |

| 971 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: They all have dark blue pupils instead of black to add to the fishy look. |
| 972 | * UnscaledMerfolk / OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Seashell bra'd ladies with requisite two-part fishtails and humanoid skin tones... these are not. Instead, we have a monster who literally embodies the reef, with coral, critters, and seaweed, a brightly-colored squid ghoul, and conjoined snake sisters. |

| 981 | * TheChooserOfTheOne: Transports Lagoona [[KidnappedByTheCall against her will]] to the GSR to overcome her greatest fear. |
| 982 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Very much of one. Though she's very knowledgeable, sometimes her thoughts get jumbled and she can't access information when she'd like to. |
| 983 | * FishPeople: She has notched gills in the side of her face, fin ears, echinoderm-like spines all over her skin, and very webbed hands. Slightly downplayed with the doll, which didn't keep the gills from the prototype. |
| 984 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: As a deity-to-be, she exercises kindness to and appreciation for all sea creatures, even having some living in the mass of seaweed that is her lower body. She's adamant about not getting a pet, as she doesn't think of sea creatures that way. |
| 985 | * GreenThumb: Creates vines to lead the ghouls into the crevasse where the Kraken lives. |
| 986 | * LargeHam: When she's trying to act as a goddess in front of other monsters, her attempts to be regal are... [[NoIndoorVoice dramatic, to say the least]], and are frequently interrupted. Despite this, she's actually fairly laid-back. |
| 987 | * LittleMissAlmighty: Daughter of a god who can't quite muster the impact of her father. |
| 988 | * MakingASplash: She can control the tides at her whim. |
| 989 | * OurGodsAreDifferent: Kid of a god, and possessing godly powers herself. |
| 990 | * PlantPerson: Her lower half is made of seaweed tentacles, and Kala refers to this aspect in her diary. |
| 991 | * PunnyName: A combination of "Poseidon" and "sea", and pronounced to sound like "Posy". |
| 992 | * UnscaledMerfolk: Her bottom half is a mess of green seaweed, with small monster sea creatures clinging to it. |

| 999 | -->'''Voiced By:''' Lyndsy Kail |
| 1000 | A beautiful squid-maid, a star dancer, one of the most popular monsters in the reef... and the daughter of the Kraken. |
| 1001 | ---- |
| 1002 | * TheAce: Numerous trophies and accolades for her dancing and athletic skill, and she's captaining the dance team. |
| 1003 | ** BrokenAce: Being hailed as the greatest dancer in the GSR is not enough for Kala to move past her insecurities and envy of Lagoona. |
| 1004 | * AlphaBitch: Yeah. She's catty about other monsters, and doesn't like many fish in the reef. Pearl treasures her friendship with Kala for this reason, but it's to be determined if she's a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter. |
| 1005 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Magenta skin for her humanoid half, purple, with pink patterning that fades to yellow into the tentacles for her squid half. |
| 1006 | * BigBeautifulWoman: The curviest sixteen-year-old character in the line, and never described as unattractive. |
| 1007 | * BrightIsNotGood: While she has many vivid tropical colors, she serves as an antagonist for much of Lagoona's life. This is averted after her HeelFaceTurn. |
| 1008 | * DrivenByEnvy: Kala pushed herself to one-up everything Lagoona's done, and shows outright resentment in her diary after discovering that she, her friends, and Gil showed up in the reef. She also envies Lagoona's happiness with her family. All of these are contributing factors to why Kala started bullying her. |
| 1009 | * EasilyForgiven: Despite giving Lagoona permanent stage fright and attacking Monster High, Kala's own insecurities are apparently enough to justify her actions, and she gets [[KarmaHoudini no punishment]]. |
| 1010 | * FacialMarkings: Over her eyes, she has areas of pale magenta. |
| 1011 | * FantasticRacism: Kala is suffers from an indirect example of this. As everyone considers the Kraken, her father, a disgusting monstrosity, she believes that everyone thinks this of her as well, even though nobody is aware of her parentage. |
| 1012 | * FishPeople: Has the lower body of a squid, and the appropriate eight limbs. |
| 1013 | * FreudianExcuse: She knows how unpopular her father is and is afraid of being judged by her parentage. This goes a long way to explaining her control-freak behaviors and her need to be the best at everything. |
| 1014 | * HartmanHips: Due to her squiddy lower body, she's got bigger hips proportionally than any ghoul released. |
| 1015 | * HugeSchoolgirl: Her doll is bigger than the Big Sister mold. And her size is a birthright as daughter of ''the '''Kraken'''''. |
| 1016 | * LoserSonOfLoserDad: Kala's DarkSecret is that the Kraken, the sea monster all sea monsters fear, is her father. Not only has she been forced to keep her parentage a secret for fear of this trope taking effect, but as the Kraken is confined to his crevasse, he has never seen his daughter dance. |
| 1017 | * MultiArmedAndDangerous: Has four arms to complement her four tentacles, and serves as an antagonist, bringing the Kraken to attack Monster High. |
| 1018 | * NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Kala lives in her universe's equivalent of Australia, but has an American accent, unlike her former classmate Lagoona, whose Aussie accent is prominent at MH. |
| 1019 | * PassThePopcorn: When it doesn't interfere with dance practice, Kala gets a kick out of sitting back and watching Peri and Pearl squabble. |
| 1020 | * PunnyName: A pun on calamari, or cooked squid. Given her four arms and monstrous nature, it may also reference Kali, the Hindu goddess of death. |
| 1021 | * SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp: To Lagoona. |
| 1022 | * TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Kala is quite a lovely squid-maid, whilst her father, unlike most MH parents, does not even look remotely humanoid. |
| 1023 | * UnusualEars: They're water siphons. |
| 1024 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: With Lagoona, but now she resents her so much she's [[RemovedFromThePicture ripped her]] ''and her family'' out of all her old photographs. They make up at the end of ''Great Scarrier Reef''. |

| 1029 | -->'''Voiced By:''' Rachel Staman (Peri), Creator/CheramiLeigh (Pearl) |
| 1030 | Daughters of the [[Characters/ClassicalMythologyMonsters Hydra]]. They're in the dance team and initially the only monsters Kala considers friends. |
| 1031 | ---- |
| 1032 | * AlliterativeFamily: Both have names that start with the letter P. |
| 1033 | * {{Chatterbox}}: Both of them. Even when they're not fighting, their mouths are never shut. |
| 1034 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Their hair, and their room. Peri's the blue-haired one, and Pearl is the white-haired. |
| 1035 | * ConjoinedTwins: Dicephalic, which basically means two heads on one body (though it also affects organ structure). |
| 1036 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: For both, but more with Peri. |
| 1037 | * GoldMakesEverythingShiny: Gold accents in their room, gold jewelry all over them. |
| 1038 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first time we see them talk, Peri complains about Kala, and Pearl teases her about being the better friend. This immediately degenerates into shouting and slapping, at which point Kala covers their mouths with her tentacles. |
| 1039 | * EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: These are two blinged-up kids. |
| 1040 | * FishPeople: Sea snake sisters, with webbed hands, fins, gills, and scales. |
| 1041 | * IdenticalTwinIDTag: Besides the obvious ones being their hair, makeup, earrings, and side of the body, Peri and Pearl each have textured scales on their faces, with Peri's being on her left temple and right cheek, and Pearl's being on her right temple and left cheek. |
| 1042 | * InformedFlaw: Peri's apparently ditzy, but she's not so much ditzy as really nice. If anything, Pearl comes off as more ditzy, with Peri smart enough to see that Kala doesn’t care about them. |
| 1043 | * MeaningfulName: Peri's blue hair could be described as ''peri''winkle, and her sister's is an iridescent white, better known as ''pearl'' (their sea-lifeline flowers are the same colors). Their names also refer to the gemstones peridot and pearl, alluding to their shared passion for jewels. Their last name, "Serpentine", accurately refers to their reptilian features, but it's also the common name for silicate minerals, like quartz. |
| 1044 | * MultipleHeadCase: They're two heads on one body. |
| 1045 | * MythologyGag: The Hydra, their parent(s), was a monster with several serpentine heads, which explains why they're conjoined. |
| 1046 | * NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Like Kala, they don't sound like Australians despite living there. |
| 1047 | * RedOniBlueOni: Pearl's the red to Peri's blue. |
| 1048 | * TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Due to Peri's somewhat air-headed personality and Pearl's aggressive one, they [[{{Pun}} "butt heads"]] a lot. In their diary after Peri eats swellfish(which Pearl's highly allergic to) the fallout is so bad Pearl decides they [[ThisIsMySide should split their room down the middle.]] This is remedied soon after they calm down and realize it's a problematic arrangement, but they keep some of the changes. It gets frustrating because they can't get away from each other, but they do consider themselves best friends and do care about each other deep down. |
| 1049 | * SeaMonster: They're an aquatic hydra, though they're amphibious. Perhaps it's because their parents fought Hercules on land. |
| 1050 | * SnakePeople: Their lower body is that of an aquatic snake monster. |
| 1051 | * SymbolMotifClothing: All of their jewelry is joined together across their loops, as Peri and Pearl are joined onto one body. |
| 1052 | * UnusualEars: Fin-ears. |

| 1062 | * CheerfulChild: She's rather optimistic and happy. |
| 1063 | * NerdGlasses: She's a shy and passionate character, and has glasses to reflect this. |
| 1064 | * NonIndicativeName: "Kelpie" is also the name of a type of Scottish water monster, which resembles a horse, unlike Kelpie's Gil Man inspired design |

| 1072 | A ghost pop singer, who masquerades as a human popstar under the name Tash. |
| 1073 | ---- |
| 1074 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: When solid, she has light blonde hair and pale brown skin. |
| 1075 | * BritishRockstar: A popstar technically, but she has the accent. |
| 1076 | * ChainedByFashion: Like all of the preceding ghost characters, chains feature in all of her outfits-- e.g., chain patterns and accessories. |
| 1077 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Purple hair and eyes in ghost and human form. |
| 1078 | * CuteGhostGirl: Like her predecessors. |
| 1079 | * DamselInDistress: Gets kidnapped by Moanica as Tash, and the ghouls must work together to save her. Despite their best efforts, Moanica still gets a clear shot to kill her. Thanks to {{intangibility}}, it's a NoSell. |
| 1080 | * GlamourFailure: Ari can make herself opaque temporarily to appear as a human, but she will occasionally "spook out" and lose the look. |
| 1081 | * MarkOfTheSupernatural: Tash's purple eyes are pretty uncommon for a human. |
| 1082 | * MeaningfulName: Seems to go two ways. For one, it matches "airy" in reference to her ghostly state. Secondly, it is derived from "aria", befitting her musical nature. |
| 1083 | * MythologyGag: Spectra's last name was originally going to be "von Hauntington". MH must have liked the name, and used it for their next ghost to join the main cast. |
| 1084 | * NewAgeRetroHippie: With tassels, braids, flowy dresses, and a ''chain'' headband in her pop star release, her fashion sense takes inspiration from this-she describes her style as [[{{Pun}} "Boohemian]] Rocker" in her bio. |
| 1085 | -->''When I'm bolting out pop ballads under hot stage frights, I like to wear cool, gauzy fabrics that float around me, while still looking shriek and modern.'' |
| 1086 | * NiceCharacterMeanActor: Subverted: she screams for security when she realizes Draculaura's vampirism in her Tash glamour--but it's actually to keep up her ruse. She's just as friendly as her public persona. |
| 1087 | * RememberTheNewGuy: Zig-zagged. In the canon proper she's been around since WTMH, but she's gotten so much marketing that it seems Mattel may be trying to make her one of the main six ghouls in lieu of Ghoulia. |
| 1088 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her Great Britain site bio spells her name as Ari ''Huntington''. |
| 1089 | * SymbolMotifClothing: Her outfits feature musical notes and staffs, and piano keys, much like Operetta's. |
| 1090 | * TeenIdol: 15. |

| 1097 | A [[EverythingsDeaderWithZombies zombie]] ghoul strongly implied to have used humans to create a personal zombie army. |
| 1098 | ---- |
| 1099 | * AlphaBitch: Most definitely--her favorite activity is listed as any one where she's in charge and others do her bidding, and her personal [[{{Pun}} monstra]] is to command! Her concerns are less with ruling the school and more with ruling the world, but decides the former could help her with the latter. |
| 1100 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Grey, although a darker grey than Ghoulia. |
| 1101 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Green eyes to match the hair streak. In the film proper, they're more of a vivid robin's egg blue. |
| 1102 | * CuteLittleFangs: She has these (along with some of her zomboys) though on her doll we don't see them since her mouth is closed. Crosses with FangsAreEvil. |
| 1103 | * CreepyCemetery: She dwells in one taken over from the humans. Her masquerade doll has tombstone earrings to reflect her zombie nature, as well. |
| 1104 | * CreepyShadowedUndereyes: With a very slight version of TaintedVeins. |
| 1105 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: Drives Tash's stolen tour bus right into the middle of Monster High's frigging dance floor. Combo with IncomingHam. |
| 1106 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Moanica's entire ideology and motives hinge on a belief that humans and monsters cannot peacefully coexist. |
| 1107 | * EvilLaugh: A [[GigglingVillain giggle]] dripping with condescendence and false innocence. |
| 1108 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Her dance outfit has a single-strapped dress and one glove. |
| 1109 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Charismatic and inspirational to try and win people over, but quickly homicidal when that starts taking too long. |
| 1110 | * FemmeFatalons: Long, pointy, unpainted ones. They're retractable, which explains their absence from her doll. |
| 1111 | * FilleFatale: Less overt than most. |
| 1112 | * ForTheEvulz: Peace between normies and monsters is boring to her, as are normies (and when she thinks about it, most monsters). Solution? Create a zombie army to blindly follow you, manipulate monsters to follow your side, and come to dominate the world... all in the interest of keeping things interesting. |
| 1113 | * GenericGraffiti: Her outfits have graffiti-inspired patterns, to further reflect her grungy theme. |
| 1114 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: She has these (combined with CreepyBlueEyes), along with her "zom[[{{Pun}} boy]] army" (who combine it with RedEyesTakeWarning). |
| 1115 | * {{Grunge}}: Her personal style: |
| 1116 | -->'''Moanica:''' ''Some may call it Glam Grunge, but I think of it as Cemetery Chic: I can go from the tomb to the ballroom and always be the gravest dressed ghoul around.'' |
| 1117 | * ImprobableHairstyle: Her "Dance the Fright Away" doll gives her a Seussian high ponytail gelled into a curled shape. |
| 1118 | * LargeHam: Milizia obviously had a lot of fun with the role, and even gestured and moved in the booth. |
| 1119 | * ManipulativeBastard: Admits it herself--as she isn't capable of turning other Monsters to zombies, she sometimes has to "recruit the old fashioned way: through charm and manipulation". |
| 1120 | * MonsterProgenitor: While most definitely not the first zombie in the world, Moanica has the power of [[TheVirus zombifying humans via a scratch]]. The result is her army of zomboys. [[spoiler:She tries to do this to Tash in the climax of ''Welcome to Monster High'', who fortunately reveals herself to be a ghost named Ari, and therefore immune.]] |
| 1121 | * NightOfTheLivingMooks: Her zomboys. |
| 1122 | * ObviouslyEvil: Even though many MH characters have dark designs, she goes beyond to let you know she's not one of the good guys. |
| 1123 | * OurLichesAreDifferent: Not a lich, but takes many traits from one: the unnatural intelligence, the hunger for power, the power over a horde of lesser undead, and the actual state of undeath. |
| 1124 | * OurZombiesAreDifferent: Fanged, clawed, polysyllabic and acrobatic. |
| 1125 | * PunnyName: D'Kay is phonetically identical to "decay", which is pretty much what zombies do. |
| 1126 | * RedemptionRejection: Even after all Moanica's done, Draculaura tries to help her as she falls. And immediately after recovering from her fall, Moanica lunges at Tash. |
| 1127 | * TheRival: She's this to Draculaura in the movie. Her two-pack release with Draculaura is even called "Monstrous Rivals". |
| 1128 | * SayMyName: Draculaura, ever the sweetie, asks Moanica's name when she first meets her--even after a cold reception. |

| 1132 | '''Moanica:''' Who's asking?! |

| 1134 | * SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Bones and guts! In her signature outfit alone she has... |
| 1135 | ** A vest with a graffiti design resembling a viral pattern |
| 1136 | ** A shirt with a ribcage pattern including a bleeding heart |
| 1137 | ** A ribcage bracelet and a ribcage necklace hanging on cords made of worms, and worm earrings. |
| 1138 | ** A plush-style brain purse, a belt with a brain texture, and boots on a brain heel with the oxford-style leather over brains. |
| 1139 | * SomethingAboutARose: Her dance outfit's belt has one, probably to invoke gravesite offerings. |
| 1140 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her voice actress repeatedly spelled her name Moani'''k'''a. |
| 1141 | * SpicyLatina: Complete with GratuitousSpanish, and a [[RegionalRiff guitar]] {{Leitmotif}}. Her voice actress has said that Mattel asked for a Latin American accent and she, being Peruvian, has given Moanica a Peruvian accent. So that's one interpretation. Another is that, judging by the architecture of the cemetery she and her zomboys took over, Moanica originates specifically from Mexico. |
| 1142 | * SymbolMotifClothing: As detailed above, ribcages, worms, and brains. |
| 1143 | * TeensAreMonsters: Pun not intended. She's a manipulative, megalomaniacal, murderous aspiring world dominator with a zombie army... '''at 15'''. |
| 1144 | * TodayXTomorrowTheWorld: She's set up camp in a cemetery, and when the ghouls find her she's first apprehensive, but then after realizing they're also monsters she openly considers that [[WeCanRuleTogether they could be on her side]]. She then relates her plan to first take the cemetery back from the humans, and then take over the entire human world. |
| 1145 | * VillainExitStageLeft |
| 1146 | * VillainousBreakdown: At the climax of ''Welcome to Monster High'', when [[spoiler:the students of Monster High stand up to defend the ghouls and Tash from her zomboys]], Moanica loses all semblance of charisma and control, and claws at Draculaura in a mad rage. |
| 1147 | * WeWillMeetAgain: Moanica promises that the ghouls haven't heard the last of her at the end of ''Welcome to Monster High''. She keeps her promise by being the antagonist of ''Electrified''. |

| 1157 | * OfficialCouple: With Clawdeen Wolf, at least as far as the TV specials are concerned. |
| 1158 | * PunnyName: The whole reason his species can even be deduced is because "Raythe" is a phonetic match to "wraith". |
| 1159 | * ToylessToylineCharacter: Raythe is the only G2-exclusive character without a doll at the moment. |

| 1167 | ---- |
| 1168 | * BraveScot: A fierce rocker and werewolf with a Scottish brogue. |
| 1169 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Bright blue hair with a pink streak, bright blue eyes with pink undereye lashes. |
| 1170 | * EightiesHair: As the signature for the heavily eighties-inspired ''Electrified'' line, natch. |
| 1171 | * HairyGirl: Molded fur on her arms and legs, as is the form. |
| 1172 | * MeaningfulName: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin She's a grey wolf.]][[note]]"Timberwolf" refers to grey wolves, and "Silvi" invokes her silvery color. It may also double as an IronicName, since silver is deadly to werewolves.[[/note]] "Sylvia" and "sylvan" both refer to the forest, and her name may also be connected to Rhea Silvia, the mother of Romulus and Remus before they were raised by wolves. |
| 1173 | * PrettyInMink: Subverted--her necklace is rendered and illustrated as pink clear plastic, but it's meant to evoke this. |
| 1174 | * UsefulNotes/ScottishEnglish: Townsend gives Silvi a Scottish accent. |
| 1175 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: She's had her name spelled as Sylvi, Silvia, Silva, etc. |
| 1176 | * UnusualEars: Like the other werewolves', but molded with a furry texture. |
