15!Original Ghouls
16
17[[folder:General]]
18* BadassAdorable: They may be cute, but the world they live in can get very treacherous. But as they've proven time and time again, they can handle it.
19** Even ''more'' in G3.
20* CuteMonsterGirl: They're monsters who, due to their feminine features and bright, pastel colors, are still quite cute.
21* DarkIsNotEvil: They're the daughters of famous monsters and many of them have a dark, somewhat frightful appearance--but they're not malicious.
22* HeroesLoveDogs: In the reboot, the pets of the four main ghouls are either dogs or dog-like- Frankie has Watzie, which looks like a dog stitched up from different body parts, Clawdeen's Crescent is now a dog (unlike the original's cat-like form), Cleo has Tut, which is a jackal. The only outliers are Lagoona, who got to keep her pet fish and Count Fabulous, Draculaura's pet, who's a bat that can shapeshift to a cat with wings.
23* MultinationalTeam: They consist of a Romanian, American, German, Australian, Arab, and (formerly) an unknown nationality.

32->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/KateHiggins (2010-2016), Creator/CassandraLeeMorris (2016-2018), Creator/IrisMenas (2022-present)
33->'''Played By:''' Creator/CeciBalagot
34A girl created by FrankensteinsMonster and his Film/{{bride|OfFrankenstein}} (mad scientists in this universe), and their daughter. In most Generation 1 continuities, she was stated to only be 15 days old at the start and attended high school as the "new girl".
35
36In G2 starting with ''Recap/WelcomeToMonsterHigh'', she's ''115'' days old and works with Draculaura, Clawdeen, and their respective families to build the school. Plucky, fun-loving, and klutzy, she alternates between series protagonist and {{Deuteragonist}}.
37
38In G3, Frankie is the smartest of the ghouls and is now non-binary. They are once again 15 days old at the time of both the movie and series.
39----
40* AccidentalAthlete: In "Fearleading Tryouts" she trips into the gym and with a bit of convenient pratfalls and a few of her own [[HelpingHands flying limbs]], aces the audition.
41* AdaptationalBadass: In G2 she takes the place of Ghoulia as the smartest ghoul. Even ''more'' in G3, where they have many parts of the brains of ''many'' geniuses, and they have an over-genius level of intellect, despite being clumsy. On the side of powers, G3 is by far more powerful than their past generations' incarnations, they have ridiculously powerful electrical powers, limbs that have magnetic features, rocket-like flying, grapples, super speed, interchangeable parts, glowing lantern eyes, drill-like teeth, among ''many'' other things.
42* AdaptationalGenderIdentity: Frankie was a cisgender girl for the first two generations, but G3 reimagines them as nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.
43* AdaptationalIntelligence: In the original series, Frankie is portrayed as either an average or slightly above average student. Post ''Welcome to Monster High'', she is the resident scientific and technological TeenGenius.
44* AffectionateNickname: Holt Hyde calls her "Frankie Fine" in the web series and movies.
45* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation:
46** She has mint green skin.
47** G3 gives them a more blueish color scheme.
48* ArtificialLimbs: G3 Frankie's lower left leg is made of metal rather than flesh, which fits their lab monster status while also resembling a prosthetic. They accentuate this leg with a bold signature and sometimes footwear that leaves it visible, like a mismatched pair of boots with the right one covering the leg and the left one showing off the metal.
49* BadassAdorable: With big eyes, naivete, and a nearly ineffable good attitude, this Frankenstein girl seems strangely cute!'' [[Recap/MonsterHighFreakyFusion Freaky Fusion]]'' confirms: try to absorb her friends and she will '''take you out'''. Also, as her 2016 SDCC doll proves, she can hold her own as a (non-lethal) [[{{Franchise/Ghostbusters}} Ghostbuster]].
50* ConsistentClothingStyle: Frankie's look is most often anchored to a preppy academy theme with all three signature versions of the character having plaid patterning and outfits that are firmly school-associated. Their G3 clothing also makes consistent use of graphic text accents in their clothing and accessories.
51* CreatingLifeIsUnforeseen: In ''Electrified'', Frankie creates a cute [[EnergyBeings Energy being]] named Znap with a blast of excess electricity.
52* CreepyDoll: Her pet in G2 is a haphazardly sewn-together teddy bear with bolts.
53* CuteAndPsycho: Her Home Ick final definitely shows her scary mad-scientist side, as does the Recap/{{Electrified}} trailer.
54* CuteClumsyGirl: Due to her tendency to fall apart in the least convenient moments.
55* DisneyDeath: In "Freaky Fusion", she uses her own life force, or Spark, to take down a rampaging creation of her grandfather Viktor that's captured her friends and threatens to destroy them. Doing so, however, uses her up, and she's effectively dead until her friends and schoolmates pull together to recharge her.
56* DemotedToExtra: She plays absolutely no role at all in the ''Haunted'' special and toy line.
57* ExoticEyeDesigns: Her Sweet Screams look gives her bolt-shaped pupils.
58* FacialMarkings: Her Ghouls Rule doll has blue lightning under her left eye, and her dance The Fright Away release gives her a yellow [[Music/DavidBowie Aladdin Sane-esque]] lightning bolt over her left eye.
59* FashionableAsymmetry: Her outfits tend to have this to achieve a cobbled-together feel reflecting her origins.
60* FrankensteinsMonster: Her father's the trope namer, and she is the descendant and an example. G1 and G2 Frankie have the requisite green skin, stitches, staples, and bolts, plus black-and-white hair taken from the Bride of Frankenstein. G3 Frankie is a little less like the Universal depiction, as their skin is blue, they only have thread stitches on their body, and they no longer have neck bolts, though bolts and staples do appear on their metal leg.
61* GoodScarsEvilScars: Emblematic stitches and staples (the latter being pre-G3) all over her body, which are all neat and clean.
62* HelpingHands: Frankie’s hands whenever her stitches come loose.
63* TheHeroine: She always changes the way things were for the better.
64* IdeaBulb: Variation. Her neck bolts often spark when she gets an idea.
65* IdenticalStranger: To a human scientist who came to Skull Shores sometime in the 20th century, sharing the same striped hair and heterochromia. Some fans believe that due to Frankie's patchwork nature, that same scientist may have been HumanResources [[FridgeHorror for Frankie's head]].
66* InsufferableGenius: Post-reboot. It's downplayed, but it's there.
67-->'''Moanica:''' ''[relates her plans for world domination.]''\
68'''Frankie:''' ''[[SarcasticClapping [Claps.]]]'' Ooh, nice. Very ambitious!
69* MadScientist: Well, she did build herself a boyfriend once.
70* MythologyGag:
71** Her head mold is squared to reflect her father, and her hair is a more even distribution of her mother's colors.
72** Her Sweet Screams design has a peppermint motif, due to the candy and her hair sharing a stripe pattern.
73** G3 Frankie has a budget doll wearing a dress and belt/tie chain accessory that very closely mimics their G1 counterpart's signature outfit.
74* NaiveNewcomer: At first, but integrates well. She makes it her own mission to help other newcomers.
75* PronounTrouble: Averted in not just the original English version but also in foreign dubs as well: G3 Frankie is referred to with neutral pronouns in ''all languages'', as requested by the American licensors, even in those languages when there are no official neutral pronouns, such as Spanish or French, causing in those cases to resort to unofficial ones instead.
76* QueerColors: G3 Frankie is nonbinary and their color palette features a lot of blue, white, and pink in reference to the colors of the trans pride flag.
77* QueerEstablishingMoment: G3 features two to establish their nonbinary gender identity, which is uncommon in media, and a change from older incarnations of the character.
78** Their intro music video "Sparked to Life" features a brief section in the second chorus with the lyrics "It's 'they' for me, not 'he' or 'she'/'Cause labels ain't a thing for me".
79** Frankie's introduction in the series sees them introducing themselves in an assembly with their pronouns.
80* ReallyWasBornYesterday: Frankie in G1 and G3 was created only about two weeks before the start of the narrative, with this extremely short life story serving as a comical monster explanation for her/their naivete and excitement about the world. G1 Frankie's function as the protagonist and entry viewpoint character makes it even more integrated into her personality. G2 downplays it by having her being a few months old but to a similar effect.
81* ScaryStitches: Naturally. Even her Generation 1 and 2 pets have them: first Watzit, then a nameless stitched-up teddy.
82* SenseFreak: In generation 1: with all the basic intelligence of the average 15-year-old yet little experience outside, everything is new to her and she wants to experience it all. She learns more over time. Generation 2 has her as 115 days old at the start, with more time to process things between her creation and entrance into the story.
83* ShipTease: With both Jackson and Holt in Generation 1-- twice! They sort of got together, took a break so the boys could sort out their issues, and were teasing toward reuniting before the nullification of the Generation 1 canon. Generation 3 now sets them up in a possible relationship with Cleo.
84* ShockAndAwe: Powered by electricity, and can use it in many ways--for example, in direct combat with jumper cable clamps on her bolts while standing on a metal floor.
85* ShoutOut: Her Gaga look is based on the rococo-esque hairstyle Gaga sported at the Brit Awards in 2010.
86* StageMagician: Her role in the Freak Du Chic, where her independent body parts come in handy for the separation cabinet.
87* SymbolMotifClothing: Bolts, both of metal and lightning. Her Scarily Ever After doll has a heavy sewing motif, including needles, thread, and scissors.
88* TomboyishName: Helps the pun.
89* TwoferTokenMinority: G3 Frankie is nonbinary and has a prosthetic leg.
90* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Well, her father ''is'' FrankensteinsMonster.
91* YellowLightningBlueLightning: Both colors of lightning feature frequently in her outfits, sometimes both in the same ensemble.
92* YoungerThanSheLooks: Despite looking like a teenager, at the beginning of the series proper, she's 15 days old. Then, her age was listed as "How many days has it been now?". In G2, she's 115 days old, but G3 brings them back to starting out at 15 days old.

100->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/DebiDerryberry (2010-2018), Creator/CourtneyLin (2022-present)
101->'''Played By:''' Creator/NayahDamasen
102The adopted daughter of {{Dracula}}. Initially 1,599 years old before turning 1600 in ''Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love?'', she's peppy, sweet, and loves helping and being around her friends (and her boyfriend Clawd Wolf). Notable as being one of the only, if not the first, true vegetarian vampire, as she faints at the sight of blood and survives mostly on supplements and fruit, and shortly ran her own newsletter on the topic: [[FunWithAcronyms V.A.M.P.]] - Vampires Advocating Meatless Protein. Diaries and other material heavily imply she wasn't always like this. After long being devoid of the powers granted to vampires, she received them in ''[[Recap/MonsterHighFrightsCameraAction Frights, Camera, Action!]]''.
103
104In G2, she's lived a long time with only her father; and along with Frankie, Clawdeen, Clawdeen's family, and Dracula, she builds Monster High. She also has her vampire powers from the start. She's still sweet, slightly ditzy, and vegetarian.
105
106In G3, she is the legitimate daughter of Count Dracula and his vampire Taiwanese wife named Wei Fang. Draculaura now has an interest in sorcery and has lost her ditzy persona from previous generations, having become more calm and level-headed. She is one of the best students (if not the best) at Monster High and she's also an activist. In addition, the series ages her down to 1500.
107----
108* AdaptationalBadass: G3 has her from the beginning with all of her vampire powers, her action scenes are more frequent, but also, she got magic witch knowledge in secret.
109* AdaptationalJerkass: She was a sweet and fun-loving GenkiGirl in the first two generations, whereas she's more sarcastic and aloof in ''Film/MonsterHighTheMovie''. The animated series restores her fun and sweet personality, although she's still as serious.
110* AdaptationDyeJob: In the first two generations, Draculaura's hair was black with royal pink streaks. G3 makes it a half-and-half style, with one side black and one side pink. The pink in her hair is also a bit lighter. Her eyes are purplish-pink instead of greyish-lavender, and her heart-shaped beauty mark is also black instead of pink.
111* ADayInTheLimelight: She's the main star in "Frights, Camera, Action", and the plot centers around us learning some of Draculaura's history.
112* AfraidOfBlood: Draculaura has a tendency to faint even at the mere mention of blood.
113* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Her skin is light pink, with a hot pink heart birthmark on her left cheek.
114* ARiddleWrappedInAMysteryInsideAnEnigma: Her collector's edition doll's box describes her as "A riddle wrapped in sweetness inside an infectious laugh".
115* TheAtoner: Her diary actually implies that she is one. When her dad tells her that he wishes she'd return to "proper" vampire ways, she writes that she is resolved to never go back to how she was before.
116* BreakoutCharacter: It's amazing how much merchandise she gets from the official company and fan works she gets from the fanbase.
117* CannotKeepASecret: Frequently. This is exploited ''mentally'' by the ghouls to set up Scarah and Invisi Billy, since both are scared that Scarah's telepathic powers will make fools out of them. Clawd tells Billy that Scarah has a date in the cemetery, and Cleo tells Draculaura that Billy has a date in the cemetery, knowing that once she sees Scarah, the latter will pick up on her thoughts about the supposed date. It works, leaving Draculaura totally confused when Scarah and Billy are seen walking together the following day.
118* CheeryPink: Covered in pink from head to toe and a very cheerful, upbeat person.
119* CherryBlossomGirl: Her Monster Exchange ensemble has shades of this, with her typical pink in her hair, and her outfit inspired by various elements of traditional Japanese dress including a cherry-blossom branch with bats instead of flowers and blossom patterns on her outfit.
120* ConsistentClothingStyle: Draculaura's look is designed to reflect a sweet, feminine goth look with pink and black accents and often includes some masculine or formal or older-fashioned touches to reflect a modernized version of her father's attire.
121* CuteLittleFangs: She never uses them to suck blood, though.
122* CuteWitch: G3 Draculaura is learning magic in secret, and she is certainly adorable.
123* DarkHorseVictory: In "Talon Show", a webisode mainly focusing on Cleo and Clawdeen going to huge measures to score a role in a play, ''she'' gets the part at the end. And does pretty well.
124* DaywalkingVampire: Subverted in G1, where Draculaura was regularly seen out in daylight, but only through wearing a thick coat of powerful sunblock. It's played straight in G2, which is in line with the representation of vampires in ''Dracula''.
125* {{Deuteragonist}}: ''Ostensibly'', through marketing domination, multiple specials dedicated hugely to her, her own collector's edition doll, and promotion to the face of the franchise in 2016. She and Frankie even shared a SurpriseParty in the Volume 1 webisode "Party Planners".
126* TheDitz: To a very large degree, but she can occasionally show insight. She doesn't have this trait in G3.
127* ElegantGothicLolita: Many of her outfits show degrees of this, with spooky touches like a bat-shaped ruffled collar or a spiderweb-patterned mermaid dress.
128* ExoticEyeDesigns: Her Sweet Screams design includes heart-shaped pupils.
129* FacialMarkings: Her Dance the Fright Away release gives her a [[Toys/EverAfterHigh Lizzie Hearts-esque]] pink heart around her right eye.
130* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Draculaura certainly comes across as one.
131* FunWithAcronyms: Her newsletter "V.A.M.P." -- "'''V'''ampires '''A'''dvocating '''M'''eatless '''P'''rotein."
132* GenkiGirl: In the beginning, she was super flighty and hyper, but she's a little mellower now.
133* GirlishPigtails: A signature of Draculaura's in G1 and G2, used to highlight her sweet and excitable personality and featured in her signature designs for each generation. G3 averts this, with Draculaura's personality changing to be less peppy and pigtails staying out of her looks. Her second G3 signature design brought back the pigtails with an ensemble that adapts the G1 signature design.
134* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Some of her outfits have masculine influences, like her signature look and her collector doll.
135* GothGirlsKnowMagic: She has a gothic aesthetic and is a magic user in G3.
136* GranolaGirl: Vegetarianism is a big part of her character, but with a passion for legendary shopping sprees and luxury items, she's far from a dirty hippie.
137* HappilyAdopted: As revealed in her second edition diary, by Dracula. And later on also by his wife, Ramoanah.
138* HartmanHips: G3 Draculaura's bottom half is notably wider and more shapely than that of her past incarnations.
139* HeroicBastard: Camilla and Gaius never wed, making her this.
140%%* TheHeroine: 2016 onwards.
141* HiddenDepths: Draculaura's 2nd edition diary began to go into her DarkAndTroubledPast--her father, rather than the Dracula we know, is an even older master vampire (Bram Stoker's villain was a ''less powerful upstart'' who used her father's name to impress and terrorize locals till he fell prey to LaserGuidedKarma), who took in Draculaura (perhaps just Laura then) and her mother "when no one else would" over a thousand years ago. The brief diary for her collector doll provided a timeline-- her father was the Roman soldier Gaius who fell in love with her mother Camilla, but he died in battle before she was born. Dracula, having known and been friends with Gaius' great grandfather moved his home to Dacia and took Camilla in. Draculaura was named in his honor at birth. In the year she turned 16, a plague swept the village they lived in and claimed Camilla's life. Fearful to lose Draculaura as well, Dracula turned her into a vampire. The collector's edition diary even describes her as a riddle.
142* ILoveYouVampireSon: A platonic example. Dracula cares a lot about her, and lets her have whatever makes her happy--even if he doesn't completely approve of some of her [[VegetarianVampire less orthodox]] life choices.
143* {{Joshikousei}}: In "Sayonara Draculaura", she gets a SailorFuku at the Shibooya exchange school--matching all the students there, natch. Sailor-type outfits also include her [[Recap/MonsterHighEscapeFromSkullShores Skull Shores]] swimsuit and Shriek Wrecked dress.
144* KidAppealCharacter: Cute, cheerful, and iconically designed.
145* LetMeGetThisStraight: In ''Boo York, Boo York'' after Pharaoh's big performance, she rattles off one of these as a run-on paragraph. True to form for MH's resident MotorMouth.
146-->'''Draculaura:''' So let me see if I've got this right. First Deuce breaks up with Cleo. Then Cleo decides to do that comet ceremony thing with Seth Ptolemy. But Seth is all like, "Nope, never mind, and by the way, I'm that rapper Pharaoh and ''(makes gang signs)'' I want to fang out with Catty Noir." And ''now'' you're saying that this party is ''completely'' out of King Tutankrab-rolls? ''(crying noise)''
147* MakeMeWannaShout: In her bat form, she can scream loud enough to take someone out.
148* MayflyDecemberRomance: She's 1600 and dating a mortal werewolf, who's only 18.
149* MeaningfulName: ''Laura'' is from the Roman laurel, meaning peace. Draculaura is a uniquely peaceful vampire--fully vegetarian and kind to a fault, despite her sad past and fearsome forebears. Also, the Romans held laurel crowns as a prize for winners, making her name mean 'Winner' too.
150* MilitaryBrat: Her birth father and adoptive father both were in the Roman army. The former died in battle.
151* MissingMom: Camilla, who died of TheBlackDeath. Draculaura now has a not-wicked stepmother (Ramoanah) as of "Draculaura and the New Stepmomster". She also appears to be absent in the G3 continuation, as she is never seen or mentioned. It's stated that her mother is a vampire from Taiwan- Draculaura allegedly knows Mandarin (we haven't seen her speak it in any official media as of the writing of this entry), but it's unclear if her mother taught her that or if she just knows it through other means.
152* MotorMouth: While they're driving to school, she puts Clawd to sleep with a gossip tirade.
153* MythologyGag:
154** She fuses with Robecca in ''Freaky Fusion'', as they share a Victorian fashion influence and both were actually alive during that time period.
155** G3 Draculaura's signature doll includes a bottle of SPF 500 sunscreen in a direct rerelease of a G1 accessory.
156* ObfuscatingStupidity: In ''Frights, Camera, Action'' she uses this to distract Stoker from the ghouls, amping up her ditziness.
157-->'''Draculaura:''' Pink's my favorite color. What's yours?\
158'''Stoker:''' ''(exasperated sigh)''
159* NiceGirl: In all generations, Draculaura's not only fun-loving and cheerful, but she's deeply kind. Examples include when she's at risk of expulsion in "Witch Hitch" yet she refuses to use a spell that would hurt Toralei, and later uses a potion on Toralei to prevent her from spilling [[HeroicSacrifice Lagoona's secret instead of hers]], and in "Nightmare Nightmore" while she's jealous of Abbey stealing the attention off her first Nightmore party, she never takes it out on her or blames her, recognizing that it'd be unfair.
160* OfficialCouple: With Clawd, in Generation 1.
161* OlderThanTheyLook: She's 1599 years old at the beginning of the series proper. A big show was made of her turning 1600 as it was used for both a doll collection/line (Draculaura's Sweet 1600) and was the main event of ''[[Recap/MonsterHighWhyDoGhoulsFallInLove Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love]]''.
162* OnlyOneName: One of the few characters who has no last name that we know of.
163* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Not too different though, just [[VegetarianVampire vegetarian]].
164* ParasolOfPrettiness: Justified in this case, as the sun protection her parasols provide is necessary for her.
165* PerkyGoth: Just about the happiest gothic Lolita vampire you've ever seen!
166* PinkHeroine: G2 makes heavily pink Draculaura into the protagonist's character.
167* PinkMeansFeminine: She is one of the more girly characters among the main cast, with pink streaks in her hair, predominately pink outfits, and pale pink skin.
168* PointyEars: Her entire facial design is a bit of a shout-out to Creator/BelaLugosi.
169* ThePollyanna: She's got an idealistic view of life that she never lets go of. Considering the DarkAndTroubledPast we've gotten glimpses of, that could be her way of dealing with life--letting go of old miseries and looking towards the bright and happy things and the monsters she loves.
170* ProperTightsWithASkirt: Her G1 basic outfit ''looks'' like fishnets under a miniskirt. They're actually fishnet tights that end right above the boots. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with her G2 basic outfit, a dress, only having tights in its CGI adaptation.
171* RaceLift: Generation 3 makes her half-Romanian, half-Taiwanese instead of fully Romanian.
172* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: In the original G1 series she was Dracula’s adoptive daughter, who was born to human parents but was turned into a vampire by Dracula to save her life. In G2 and G3 she is Dracula’s daughter by birth.
173* RoseHairedSweetie: Mostly pink hair, and a really sweet kid.
174* ShoutOut:
175** Her ElegantGothicLolita style and tattoo-like birthmark on her cheek recall Music/EmilieAutumn.
176** Her backup-dancer doll seen in the "Gaga For Ghouls" video has Gaga's bow-hair style.
177* TheSmartGirl: Mentioned to be one of the smartest kids in G3.
178* SmittenTeenageGirl: Often in Generation 1, a main plot point including her was her various follies with dating--until she became an OfficialCouple with Clawd.
179* StealthPun: Her Freak du Chic-themed collector doll sees her performing as an acro''bat''.
180* StockingFiller: In her "Day at the Maul" fashion pack, the skirt comes with black stockings over white fishnets.
181* SymbolMotifClothing: Hearts, bows, and bats. Lips will occasionally show up in her outfits, too, due to the association with a vampire's bite.
182* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly Girl to Lagoona's {{Tomboy}}, in the original ghouls.
183* TrueBlueFemininity: G2 makes light blue the accent color to her standard color scheme.
184* VampireLolitaArchetype: Draculaura fits in some of the traits, being the daughter of Dracula (in this rendition) and being one of the somewhat younger members of the group. She dresses in modern goth Lolita clothing.
185* VampireVords: She can pronounce her Ws, at least, but she otherwise has a noticeable (and very cute) Hungarian/Romanian accent.
186* VampiresAreRich: Legendarily loaded--coupled with Cleo, it's seen in ''[[Recap/MonsterHighScarisCityOfFrights Scaris: City of Frights]]'' that their combined shopping power stacks a wheeled cart to the roof.
187* VegetarianVampire: Played ''absolutely'' straight. She drinks no blood at all.
188* VisualPun: Her Great Scarrier Reef transformation gives her a lower body of webbed tentacles, a feature of the ''vampire squid''.
189* UnwittingPawn: In ''Monster High 2'', where Queen Zamara of the Salem Coven plots to use her to destroy all vampires forever.
190* WasOnceAMan: Used to be a human girl before being turned into a vampire.
191* WeakButSkilled: Small in normal and bat form, but thanks to evasive maneuvers and [[MakeMeWannaShout selective supersonic screaming]], she's a worthy opponent against (for example) murderous acrobatic zombies with serious claws.
192* WeaponizedHeadgear: In the G3 series she has a large hat. Not only is it big enough to protect her from the sun, it also can be used as a weapon.
193* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: In the beginning, she couldn't even ''say'' the word blood without [[{{Fainting}} fainting]] (or nearly fainting). As of about Volume 4, this doesn't come up anymore.
194* WingedHumanoid: Her Ghoul To Bat doll gives her a large pair of hot pink satin wings, patterned with fanged hearts and bats. The play factor comes from transforming the doll by pulling the top of its dress out and downward, exposing the wings.

204
205Daughter of Film/{{The Wolf Man|1941}}. A fashionista and neophyte fashion designer, she's forthright and has a knack for looking into tough situations. Fiercely loyal to her friends, fiercely protective of her friends, and all-around fierce.
206
207In G3, she is the main protagonist who is half-human, and half-werewolf, and tries to keep her human side a secret from the other monsters while trying to fit in amongst them in the live-action movie. In the series, she is still half-werewolf and half-human, she discovers her monster self in Monster High and is trying to search for her missing mom.
208----
209* AscendedExtra: As with Twyla, zig-zagged by her Freak du Chic doll: more detailed and different than her minor appearance in said webisodes, but only available at Target. She even became the main protagonist of the franchise, surpassing Frankie, beginning in Generation 3.
210* AdaptationalBadass: Zigzaged in G3. While she is more nerdy than fierce in G3, she is explicitly one of the most powerful werewolves, with a constant demonstration of raw power, strength capable of crushing rocks without effort, crazy agility, and a new werewolf instinct that warns her of danger. G1 Clawdeen's hour power was in the full moon, and even by this, she's not even close to her G3's power level, or at least enough action scenes.
211* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In G1 and G2, Clawdeen is a confident and fierce girl who is very self-assured. G3 makes Clawdeen more awkward and significantly less confident than her other counterparts, despite this, she is still fierce sometimes. This is because, in her g3 background, she was surrounded by humans that made her life miserable (except her dad), in her own words.
212* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Downplayed. In G1 and G2, Clawdeen is a full werewolf, but G3 makes her a half-werewolf, half-human hybrid.
213* AwwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: She has this with both Clawd and Howleen. They do have spats and fight, but at the end of the day, they all do love each other very much.
214* BespectacledCutie: G3 gives her glasses.
215%%* TheBigGuy:
216* BigSisterInstinct: Djinni learns this in ''[[Recap/MonsterHigh13Wishes 13 Wishes]]'': don't mess with Howleen. And in Recap/WelcomeToMonsterHigh, it's implied she would've ''mauled'' Frankie and Draculaura if they hadn't proved themselves to be monsters, and friendly.
217* BrokenPedestal: Moanatella Ghostier was her fashion inspiration until she learned exactly how she'd been keeping her place in the industry.
218* ConsistentClothingStyle: G1 Clawdeen's fashion is usually on the cutting edge and designed to look bold, confident, and trendy with edgy hair colors and clothing cuts, and fur accents. Clawdeen's looks also feature frequent usage of jewelry that is conspicuously and consistently golden as a subtle nod to werewolves' aversion to silver. Even as her future incarnations lessened her edge, she retains gold accents and fur costume elements as well as experimental hair colors and makeup.
219* CuteLittleFangs: Yeah. Not so much in wolf form, where they go full-on MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily.
220* FacialMarkings: Green crescents over and under her left eye in her "Dance the Fright Away" release.
221* FascinatingEyebrow: Her reboot dolls all have a slight version of this.
222* FemmeFatalons: Which she once used to puncture a casketball ''just by gripping it too hard''.
223* TheFashionista: Notable in that she views fashion both as an art and in a business sense; she hopes to one day own her own fashion line, and plans her classes accordingly. She aspires to become a fashion designer.
224* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: Few dolls of hers have been released without a gold accent. This is fitting, since there's no way she'd be wearing silver.
225* HairyGirl: The reboot gives Clawdeen some molded fur on her shins and forearms.
226* KaleidoscopeHair: It's explained in-universe that the one benefit of Clawdeen's [[RapidHairGrowth constantly growing hair]] is that it allows her to be very experimental with it, so in each doll of hers, her hair undergoes a substantial color change.
227* MassiveNumberedSiblings: In G1, it's established that this is her family situation, but we only see three siblings in the MH media, all of whom are in the teen range. G2 begins to play it straighter, with Clawd and Howleen returning and several previously-unseen younger siblings being included onscreen and in the toys. If one takes both the dolls and books as canon, she has eleven siblings[[note]]That's Clawdia, Clawd, Howleen, Howie, Howldon, Howlmilton, Clawnor, Barker, Pawla, Weredith, and Packlyn[[/note]], making her the third of twelve kids. Howleen's diary mentions three unnamed older brothers who have moved out which makes fifteen kids, and Clawdeen the sixth.
228* MissingMom: In G3. The exact circumstances depend on whether you're watching the movie or the cartoon; in the movie, she's all but stated to have died, while in the cartoon, she's been missing for ten years and Clawdeen wants to find out where she went.
229* MySisterIsOffLimits: Brother. This with Draculaura and Clawd in the early stages of their relationship, but she's now come to accept it--and nobody's threatening it on her watch.
230* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Clawdeen can sometimes react like a typical wolf, e.g. howling when excited or growling when angry. It's more apparent in the second generation.
231* MythologyGag: She fuses with Venus in ''Freaky Fusion'', as both are toothy monsters with a spiky fashion sense.
232* NightmareFetishist: In the G3 animated series, it's established that despite being raised in the human world and shunned for being a "monster girl", Clawdeen loves all things creepy and spooky. She loves a grave full of skulls and snakes and later hides in it, her reaction to Spectra wailing in her face is pure joy that ghosts are real, and when she sees that the ice cream is made of eyeballs, she's overjoyed.
233* NobodyTouchesTheHair: She is ''adamant'' about being her own hair stylist, and does a very good job.
234* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent:
235** While Clawdeen's features are consistently wolflike, she usually keeps her animalistic side under control... except during the full moon (when she becomes more daring and energetic than usual). "Fur Will Fly" showed her using this transformation to beat Heath Burns (he didn't know that day was a full moon, and it gave her super-speed, beating him even with his head start).
236** Recap/WelcomeToMonsterHigh gives her a real wolf form, and shows she can switch between a wolflike girl and an actual wolf.
237** Gen 3 seems to have made her [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human[=/=]half-werewolf]] allowing her to shift to a fully human appearance (mostly [[InvoluntaryShapeshifting turning out of anxiety]]). Ironically this makes her ''more'' like traditional werewolves who are able to do so in most myths.
238* TheNoseKnows: It comes with being a werewolf. The [[TropeName phrase]] is even a family catchphrase.
239* RaceLift: She is Afro-Latina in G3.
240* TheRival: At first with Cleo, but they got over it.
241* SassyBlackWoman:
242* ShoutOut: Her hairstyle on her Gaga doll is the soda-can rollers seen in ''Telephone''.
243* SupernaturalGoldEyes
244* SymbolMotifClothing: Crescent moons, bones, and/or animal print patterns feature in almost every outfit she wears.
245* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: The live-action movies' adventures are tailored so Clawdeen's ability to shift into human form comes in handy.
246* TraumaticHaircut: In Clawd's first release diary it's revealed she once accidentally snipped all of her hair off. It grew back quickly, but it still left her pretty down. Draculaura even suggested she and Frankie cut all their hair off too in solidarity... until Frankie reminded her that, unlike werewolves, their hair would take a much longer time to grow back.
247* UnusualEars: Wolf ears, on top of her head.
248* {{Zipperiffic}}: This is occasionally a theme in her outfits.

258
259Daughter of the Sea Monster. A level-headed and laid-back character, Lagoona spends most of her time in the water (either in the ocean or the school's swimming pool) and is the gang's resident surfer girl and school swim captain. Amiable and helpful to almost everyone, she usually has to ground her friends if they get carried away. As a saltwater monster, she frequently has issues with her freshwater boyfriend Gillington "Gil" Webber, because of his parents' [[FantasticRacism prejudice]] towards her.
260----
261* AdaptationalBadass: While in G1 she was mostly a talented swimmer, G2 gives her super speed on land and water for some reason. G3 is giving her ''more'' abilities, such as aqua kinesis, super agility, keen senses, communication with sea creatures, and ''many'' shark-like teeth. In G3 she's also the ''fiercest'' monster in the school.
262* AdaptationDyeJob:
263** Generation 2 has her eyes cyan instead of green.
264** Generation 3 makes her scales pink with some translucent blue parts, making her name a tad [[IronicName ironic]]. Her eye color is also hazel this time.
265* AnimalMotifs: G1/G2 Lagoona is a more generic fantasy fish person, but G3 Lagoona has tropical colors and sometimes shows fangs which make her feel specifically like a human/piranha blend.
266* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In G1 and G2, Lagoona is generally a laidback, friendly and sporty girl. In G3, Lagoona is instead a CuteAndPsycho romantic who loves fairy tales and telenovelas.
267* AwesomeAussie: She fits this trope in G1 and G2.
268* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Howleen makes a wish to turn her into a freshwater monster in ''13 Wishes'', which eventually causes her to become this.
269* ConsistentClothingStyle: Lagoona's fashion trends toward sporty activewear and in collaboration with her monster type, features a lot of mesh/fishnet elements even in some of her more glammed-up looks.
270* CoolBigSis: To three younger brothers and a sister.
271* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Portrayed as a spacey girl who (literally) bathes in moisturizer in the anime adaption.
272* CuteAndPsycho: In Generation 3. She'll be a sweet, down-to-earth girl one minute, then squeeing about cannibalism the next.
273* DayInTheLimelight: The spring 2016 CG special ''Great Scarrier Reef'' has her as the main character.
274* EarFins: Lagoona was the first, but far from the last, doll to have fishy fins in the place of her ears.
275* FacialMarkings: Aquamarine sea stars on her right eye in her "Dance the Fright Away" release.
276* FishPeople: Since fish monsters are an iconic horror trope, a fish girl was a must for the OG 6.
277* FormerFriendOfAlphaBitch: Used to be friends with Kala, and until they talked things out at the end of the Great Scarrier Reef, she was Lagoona's worst nightmare.
278* GrinOfAudacity: In the G3 animated series, she has a tendency to show off her teeth this way. When a (supposed) human crashes onto the stage and everyone else is fleeing in fear, she just grins as if itching for a fight.
279* ImAHumanitarian:
280** ''Implied'' in the first episode of the G3 animated series. When Clawdeen (in her human form) is shown in front of the monsters, everybody ran in terror of a human in the school, except for Lagoona, who had a... ''voracious'' look on her face. Her SlasherSmile does not help.
281** An episode from G3 has her telling Twyla her backstory, and how her family separated by an argument over what they would eat for dinner. One option was ''a human sunbather''.
282* ImprobableHairstyle: Her Dawn of the Dance hairdo includes a gigantic fish-fin mohawk.
283* InLoveWithLove: Lagoona's defining trait in Generation 3. She ''loves'' romance, and wants herself and her peers to have epic love stories [[ThinksLikeARomanceNovel like in her favorite telenovelas]]. However, those telenovelas are marketed for sea monsters, and include a lot of monsters eating each other.
284* LightHairedSwimmer: Blond and associated with water. G3 is pastel pink and blue.
285* MyGreatestFailure: As a kid, she was passionate about dancing and won several awards. Then, thanks to Kala tying up her shoelaces in a fit of jealousy, she froze up at a crucial moment of a performance in front of almost every resident of the Great Scarrier Reef. This incident spurred her on to leave the Reef for Monster High, gave her intense stage fright, and made her refuse to dance in public for years.
286* MyGreatestSecondChance: Posea's the cause of this, [[KidnappedByTheCall dragging her back to the Reef]] with her magic to overcome her fear... which is so bad it's wilting her "sea lifeline", or the flower representing her lifeforce.
287* MythologyGag: She fuses with Jinafire in ''Freaky Fusion'', as they're finned creatures and elemental opposites. Also, Chinese dragons were revered as guardians of water, and each lake had one.
288* NewAgeRetroHippie: The aesthetic of her "Beach Beasties" doll, which bears great resemblance to Viperine Gorgon, who was released later.
289* TheNoseKnows: As a Gill Woman and sea monster, in G3 she has a keen sense of smell. She can smell Abbey's fear, and ''smelled'' Draculaura's saliva in one of her childhood toys. Take note that Draculaura is ''1500'' years old.
290* OfficialCouple: With Gil, and the second oldest one next to Cleo and Deuce.
291* OnlySaneWoman: Lagoona is the most down-to-earth, level-headed member of the main group. Also in the videogame ''New Ghoul in School'', she's the only one in the Council besides the PlayerCharacter who stays un-cursed, and the de facto leader of the un-cursed students.
292* PassFail: In Generation 1, at least, she's actually half ocean nymph, half sea monster. However, she is only called "Daughter of the Sea Monster" and she isn't treated as a Hybrid during ''Freaky Fusion'' by her classmates, but is sympathetic towards the Hybrids. Thus, unless Mattel just forgot, it can be assumed that she's passing as a one-race monster.
293* PerformanceAnxiety: She was humiliated as a child, and now freezes up every time she goes onstage. Thank Kala for it.
294* RaceLift: In Generation 3, she now hails from Honduras.
295* ScaryTeeth: G3 gives Lagoona a mouth full of sharp shark-like teeth.
296* ShoutOut: Her Zomby Gaga doll has hair and a headband evocative of Gaga's looks in ''Judas'' and ''Telephone''.
297* StockingFiller: In her basic outfit, she [[StealthPun wears]] fishnet [[VisualPun stockings]].
298* SuperSpeed: Post-reboot, she has this even on land and on her skateboard.
299* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to Draculaura's Girly Girl.
300* {{Tsundere}}: G3 Lagoona describes herself as the perfect mix of sweet and sour, fierce but also kind. She's got a mouthful of ScaryTeeth that can filet a fish in a snap of a fin, but she also accepts all monsters regardless of stereotypes.
301* UnusualEars: Lagoona actually has fins for ears.
302* YouthfulFreckles: Emphasizing her spacey and amped-up nature.

312
313Daughter of the {{Mummy}}, here Ramses De Nile by name. Resident AlphaBitch and head of the [[CruelCheerleader fearleading squad]], she's known mostly for her [[RichBitch wealth]] and [[IceQueen icy personality]] at school. In truth, she's quite sensitive and down to earth, but has been groomed to think of herself as better than everyone else.
314
315In G2, she's a LovableAlphaBitch from the start, found by the ghouls in her tomb.
316
317In G3, she's the daughter of powerful royal mummies, who is now kind-hearted, but still a bit of a drama queen and close friend to the ghouls in Monster High. [[spoiler: She now has a crush on Frankie]].
318----
319* AdaptationalBadass: In G3. She does not depend on amulets now, and she gets some great scale powers, such as flying, levitating, and casually unleashing a cursed giant plague of scarabs, weather manipulation, and magic storms. Her musical video has her making a curse spell, in the form of purple magic energy from her hand.
320* AdaptationalNiceGirl: G2 gives comparatively off her RichBitch tendencies, although she is still a bit egocentric.
321** She is, even more, this in G3. Despite still being a drama queen and egocentric, she is no longer classist, elitist, and temperamental, as she becomes one of the kindest ghouls in the school. She constantly searches for followers, but she serves as an important emotional support to characters such as Clawdeen and Frankie, her treatment of the other ghouls is generally affectionate, is described as a mummy with a big (removable) heart, and she can [[HeroicSacrifice give away her heart and feelings to help rescue Clawdeen's lost mom to get one of the necessary amulets]], although Frankie made an improved replacement to both with a heart-form rock made by them.
322* AdaptationalSexuality: Presumably heterosexual in G1 and G2, G3 gives her ShipTease with the non-binary Frankie.
323* ArrangedMarriage: In ''Boo York, Boo York'' Ramses and Nefera attempt to manipulate her into one with Seth Ptolemy, named a promise ceremony.
324* BigBad: Of the first TV Special and the first half of the Volume 1-webisodes.
325** Totally evited in G3, where she is one of the kindest monsters around.
326* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Has what might be the strongest and most consistent development of any character in the series.
327* CruelCheerleader: Head ''fear''leader of the squad.
328* ConsistentClothingStyle: Cleo's fashion sense draws heavily from Ancient Egypt and almost always has a very high-fashion spin on it to emphasize her class, wealth, age, and position as a queen bee among her peers.
329* CoolCrown: She'll occasionally wear Egyptian tiaras, such as in her ''Boo York'' and Music Class dolls.
330* CoordinatedClothes: Done subtly with her ''Boo York, Boo York'' two-pack release, where she reflects Deuce's outfit with the snakes on her shoes.
331* EmptyEyes: G3 Cleo's dolls have blue pupils to make her eyes look faded and undead.
332* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her G2 "Meet The Ghouls" video has her hosting a talk show, with ''herself'' as the guest. Naturally, there's a bit of ego-fanning back-and-forth between host Cleo and guest Cleo, but she does take a moment to give a genuinely heartwarming shout-out to her friends, which perfectly illustrates her character.
333* FacialMarkings: Besides her regular crystal-shaped left birthmark under her left eye, she gets five more diamond-shaped ones under her right in her "Dance the Fright Away" release.
334* FamilyHonor: Most of the more ambitious things Cleo does is because she feels obliged to as a De Nile.
335* FreakyFridayFlip: "Freaky Fridate" has this happen with Ghoulia when she accidentally touches one of Daddy's idols that Ghoulia's also holding.
336* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: Not a doll release of hers without a gold accent, and her favorite color (shared with Clawdeen) is gold. Her reboot wrappings are also slightly gold, to tell from her skin.
337* GrapesOfLuxury: Her favorite food is grapes, and this is how she prefers to eat them.
338* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: To go with her JerkWithAHeartOfGold, Cleo takes this to the highest level by having actual streaks of gold in her basic look's otherwise brown hair. All of her doll releases flaunt a splash of gold hair.
339* HarpOfFemininity: Her Music Class release gives her a copper-toned one that resembles a row of teeth. The upper row can be removed to reveal an oversized comb for the owner to use.
340* HeelFaceTurn: Cleo started out as a bit of a snob/bully and the series' BigBad, but has progressed into a supportive friend, especially in the BreatherEpisode about Ghoulia and Dead Fast. She is now a part of the Original Ghouls, and has gone from AlphaBitch to LovableAlphaBitch for good.
341* HiddenDepths:
342** At first a StrawCharacter antagonist, her vulnerabilities and insecurities have now come to light. She's proud and domineering, but she's truly a princess of the people. In ''Boo York, Boo York'', it's shown in her heart that she knows as a queen-to-be, [[ArcWords she must give the people what they want]].
343** As of Season 3, she treats all of her friends as she does Ghoulia - caring and compassionate but still dominant.
344** The diary included in her 'Gloom and Bloom' release is a richly detailed account of her backstory and how her family came to be in their current form.
345* HiddenHeartOfGold: Her growth in becoming a nicer person comes to a head when she sends ''all ten-thousand'' of her royal servants to the comic auction that Ghoulia couldn't attend in order to win said comic for her. But, of course, the comic is slipped to Ghoulia discreetly, and Cleo tells the other ghouls not to let this info get around and ruin her rep.
346* IcyBlueEyes / InnocentBlueEyes: Her sky-blue eyes accentuate her ice queen personality, but also play up her kindness of heart and anxiety about her role. The latter is shown extensively in [[Recap/MonsterHighBooYorkBooYork Boo York, Boo York]].
347* InstantKnots: Post-reboot, she can use her wraps in this way--full body wrap style.
348* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Cleo can be quite stuck-up and mean to the ghouls, but is also happy to help them when there is a problem. She "secretly" thanks Ghoulia for all her help by getting her the rare Dead Fast comic.
349* TheLancer: She has connections.
350* LargeHam: She is extremely dramatic and overacts all of her tribulations. There's a reason she's the "undead diva".
351* LovableAlphaBitch: Cleo acts egocentric and temperamental, but when push comes to shove, she's a kind and loyal friend.
352* MeaningfulName: "De Nile" sounds like "denial", fitting for her original NeverMyFault attitude and superiority.
353* MissingMom: Crosses with ChekhovMIA: Robecca finds her in her SDCC diary! For this, Cleo's indebted to Robecca.
354* {{Mummy}}: Cleo is the brand's primary representation of this classic horror monster, and her depiction as a mummy has become gradually more "undead" across the reboots.
355** In G1, she could be taken as a living human without the context of her clothing's bandage motifs. Despite this, she is still the most "human-like" of the ghouls, lacks on powers and uses amulets, that is closest with the first gothic representation [[SeductiveMummy in novels of mummies]].
356** G2 added bandages sculpted onto her dolls' limbs and showed Cleo being able to control bandages to ensnare people and move around.
357** G3 retained these while also giving her dolls' eyes deadened blue pupils and showing in the fiction that Cleo's organs have been removed in embalming, as she keeps her still-beating heart in a canopic jar. Said this, G3 Cleo is more closest to the traditional "monstrous undead" mummy, giving her powers as curses, magic storms and plagues.
358* MythologyGag: She fuses with Toralei in ''Freaky Fusion''. Cats were sacred to the Ancient Egyptians and often received the honor of mummification.
359* OfficialCouple: With Deuce pre-G3. Also with Clawd offscreen, prior to the start of G1's story.
360* OhCrap: She's given some of the series' more notable examples.
361** In "A Scare of a Dare" Frankie texts some boys "Party at my house, spread the word." Cleo laughs, disbelieving, and says that Frankie's parents will freak out when all those people show up at their house. "My house?" says a puzzled Frankie. "Cleo, it was your phone." Cleo grabs the phone, realizes Frankie was right--and Cleo's eyes go wide with dread as she goes, "Oh no."
362** "Freakout Friday" showed a bigger one when Ghoulia, who Cleo gave the Amulet of Knuck'n'nothin' to, is gone. Since the amulet protected the wearer and those with her, Cleo thought Ghoulia would stay close to her, thus keeping Cleo safe. Realizing she's gone, Cleo realizes she's just as much a target as the others.
363* OhMyGods: Due to being of Egyptian heritage, she often replaces "God" with "Ra".
364* OlderThanTheyLook: Pre-reboot, she's listed as 5843 years old, "give or take a couple". Post-reboot, she's 3357 (according to the website) or 6000 (according to her intro webisode) years old. Give or take a couple, indeed.
365* PestController: G3 Cleo has a small army of scarabs hidden in her wrappings for whatever she needs, whether it's threatening people with a curse or picking up her dropped eye scream.
366* RichBitch: An afterlife's worth of royal reserve cash, and royal haughtiness.
367* RoyalBrat: Egyptian heritage, folks! This behavior was drilled into her by her father whom she was entombed with for several thousand years. She's gotten much better, though.
368* SeductiveMummy: When not royally pissed, she can be sultry, glamorous and romantic.
369* ShoutOut: Her Gaga doll is based on the ''Poker Face'' era, with the long hair and bangs seen in Gaga's earlier videos.
370* SpareToTheThrone: She's next in line to Nefera. G3 Cleo even makes a joke about "accidents" at one point.
371* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Cleo's eyes are golden in G3 to emphasize her non-human nature.
372* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: While she normally relies on Ghoulia for their school projects, her Egyptian background makes her a perfect fit for the mad science project she and Ghoulia do about perfumes. Unfortunately, Ghoulia feels unneeded and sidelined for the first time, and Cleo needs to go and build her confidence.
373* TookALevelInKindness: From a narcissistic, self-serving AlphaBitch antagonist to a generous, loyal true leader.
374* TrueBlueFemininity: She exudes it more than the others.
375* WellDoneDaughterGirl: Exemplified in ''[[Recap/MonsterHighGhoulsRule Ghouls Rule!]]'' and ''Boo York, Boo York'', where she demonstrates that she really doesn't want to let her father Ramses down.

383
384Daughter of [[OurZombiesAreDifferent the Zombies]]. Despite only being able to speak zombie, she's widely known as the smartest girl in school. She is also Cleo's best friend (and all-around personal assistant).
385----
386* AdventurerOutfit: In her SDCC 2017 two-pack with Cleo, she wears one to excavate the tomb.
387* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: She's a very light grey in Generation 1, and a pale green in Generation 3.
388* AttractiveZombie: Is very cute for a zombie.
389* AwesomenessByAnalysis: In "Dodgeskull", she calculates in [[Series/NUMB3RS "Charlie-Vision"]] how best to take out a group of heckling classmates with a dodgeball. She gets them all and nails the lead heckler a few times for good measure--[[GretzkyHasTheBall despite the fact she should have lost the game the moment she dropped the ball]].
390* BadassAdorable:
391** In the webisode "Unlife to Live", she single-handedly solves ALL the problems in the school, but nobody knows...and she just appears to be sitting around.
392** And in ''[[Recap/MonsterHighBooYorkBooYork Boo York, Boo York]]'' (along with Abbey Bominable), is able to stop Astranova's ship from crashing into Boo York City, averting an EarthShatteringKaboom.
393* BadassBookworm: Solves big problems through intelligence, and converted a significant part of the school underbelly into her own personal lab.
394* BasementDweller: Averted for the most part (she's much more intelligent and put-together), though she flirts with the idea, due to her preference for fast food and her Scaris hoodie-dress.
395* BeehiveHairdo: Her Love's Not Dead doll has this.
396* ConsistentClothingStyle: Ghoulia's outfits in both G1 and G3 trend toward the informal to emphasize her geeky qualities. G1 Ghoulia had a fifties/sixties theme with red and blue colors, all reflecting retro cinema and the era of the [[Film/NightOfTheLivingDead1968 defining zombie movie]]. G3 Ghoulia has more of a street-skater theme with bright popping colors that have a different modern-retro feeling.
397* CreatorCameo: Named after Julia Phelps, who worked on the original Monster High pitch.
398* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Light blue in G1 and a darker blue in G3, both matching her eyes.
399* CuteMute: Only speaks in moans (the Zombie language) but she sure is cute.
400* TheDragon: To Cleo. She is this mostly in the first movie and the first season of the webisodes, but with Cleo having a HeelFaceTurn, Ghoulia gradually grows into her own character.
401* EloquentInMyNativeTongue: The Zombie language sounds remarkably unintelligent, but her written word proves Ghoulia is downright fluent in SesquipedalianLoquaciousness.
402* ExoticEyeDesigns: Her Sweet Screams doll has gummy-worm-textured irises, and her Love's Not Dead doll gives her red reflections in her eyes.
403* FantasticRacism: In her diary, she implies that zombies are not well-liked for being hard to understand and their sluggish behavior. Ghoulia even buys a "Zombies Are Monsters Too" shirt to make a statement, [[TearJerker but can't bear to wear it openly]].
404* FreakyFridayFlip: "Freaky Fridate" has this happen with Cleo when Cleo accidentally touches one of her dad's idols that Ghoulia's holding.
405* FrozenFace: Though she can occasionally force a rather pained-looking [[TheUnSmile Un-Smile]], a groan, or even, in the case of the webisode "Mad Science Fair," a truly epic SlasherSmile that only manages to dodge as being terrifying as she ''finally'' gets back at Cleo for using her.
406* GadgeteerGenius: Not only is she the smartest ghoul in the school, but she once invented a two-story tall trash-to-fuel recycling machine as a Mad Science Fair project. Also, note the comet-stopping.
407* GamerChick: Not as pronounced as with Kjersti Trollson, but Ghoulia's fond of gaming and regularly gets high scores in a ''Dead Fast'' licensed game. She beats Kjersti twice: in an online MMORPG [[PlayerVersusPlayer PvP]] battle, and in the leaderboard for ''Dead Fast''. When Kjersti comes to Monster High to meet her greatest rival, they end up becoming friends over their mutual love of video games. The trait persists in G3--her signature doll is released with a handheld gaming console patterned after the Nintendo Switch.
408* GoodWithNumbers: As one of the series' girl geniuses, you bet.
409* HollywoodHacking: Ghoulia can hack anything in a few seconds with her laptop, including ''satellites''. Well, almost anything...she couldn't hack the gossip column to find out who was running it.
410* InsistentTerminology: When she has a dream about attending a comic book convention her father wouldn't allow her to, she frowns at the narrator for calling her and the other monsters attending the convention "nerds" and is appeased when the narrator calls them "comic book enthusiasts" instead.
411* IntelligibleUnintelligible: The zombie language is nothing more than groans, but the other monsters mostly understand her.
412* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Her San Diego Comic-Con exclusive doll is her cosplaying as Dead Fast with a haul of Dead Fast convention merchandise.
413* MeaningfulName: It's not just a generic spooky pun on "Julia"--in ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDead1968'', the film that made zombies what they are today and which Ghoulia's retro elements also reference, the only designation actually provided to refer to the undead monsters is "ghouls".
414* MoralityPet: To Cleo as her best friend: in ''[[Recap/MonsterHighFrightOn Fright On!]]'' her unconditional friendship makes Cleo tear up. In fact, a moment of kindness toward Ghoulia is the first indication we see of Cleo's character development.
415* MythologyGag: Her Sweet Screams doll is themed after gummy candy, mainly, gummy worms. This ties into her existing worm motif that is associated with decay.
416* NerdsAreSexy: Even for a zombie nerd girl, she's quite a hottie.
417* OddFriendship: Despite Cleo's rather forceful personality, the pair genuinely consider each other best friends. Even before her character development, Cleo's friendship with Ghoulia was a sign of her softer side.
418* OfficialCouple: With Slo Mo.
419* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Ghoulia can't speak anything other than zombie, but she happens to be the smartest student in school and prefers fast food over brains. Sometimes she might only do one major action but it makes or saves the day in each episode... and movie.
420* OutOfFocus: Ghoulia's prominence in G1 was reduced in multiple ways afterward.
421** Mattel attempted to play Ghoulia this way during G2 due to backlash from her character's notable total absence and made promises of her making a big return, but this return was in the form of a single SDCC collector-doll two-pack release that fell in the G1 continuity, and Ghoulia within the context of G2 was PutOnABus with no evidence she existed in its continuity.
422** None of the 2022 collector-oriented doll lines rereleasing and iterating upon the G1 Original Ghouls (Haunt Couture, Reel Drama, and Boo-riginal Creeproduction) include the full squad of six, but Ghoulia is the only character left out of all three.
423** In G3, Ghoulia is pointedly given a signature release alongside the other Original Ghouls but is no longer played in the fiction as prominently as the other five and has only one doll release in the G3 starting assortment while the others, even Deuce, have multiple.
424* TheOwlKnowingOne: One of the smartest MH characters, and her pet is an owl, Sir Hoots-a-Lot.
425* PerverseSexualLust: Has a longstanding crush on Dead Fast, a fictional superhero.
426* PhraseCatcher: "Ghoulia's right!" Pretty much every one of the main characters has said this at least once.
427* {{Retraux}}: Her theme is decidedly retro, with cat-eye glasses and bold, simple patterns in her outfits, with dashes of modern and nerd playing into her overall look.
428* ShrinkingViolet: The shyest among the ghouls.
429* TheSmartGirl: She's very intelligent, and the others turn to her when something technical needs attention.
430* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She's defined strongly by her intelligence, and wears glasses as a signature. Even her pet owl wears them in G3!
431* SuddenlyVoiced: She speaks in full sentences instead of zombie moans in G3.
432* SymbolMotifClothing: Cherries, brains, glasses, bones, worms, and graves.
433* TechnoWizard: She's great with that laptop of hers, and made a video game ''just to decide who she'd date'' in ''less than a day''.
434* {{Tuckerization}}: Named after Mattel employee Julia Phelps, who was on the original team working on ''Monster High''.
435* VoiceForTheVoiceless: In the anime adaption, Ghoulia's pet owl, Sir Hoots-a-lot, speaks for her in lieu of zombie moans.
436* UndeathlyPallor: Ghoulia is a zombie and thus has grey skin.

445->'''Played By:''' Creator/NasivSall
446
447Daughter of [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti The Yeti]]. A foreign exchange student from the mountains who tends to unintentionally insult other monsters with her awkward grasp of the English language, along with other culture clashes. She often talks about yaks.
448----
449* ActionGirl: Abbey is one of the most athletic ''and'' physically strong girls in school.
450* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Part of the reason she likes Heath. While most other monsters get annoyed with his [[ClassClown various]] [[TheKlutz antics]], she genuinely finds him amusing.
451* AdaptationalCurves: Gets notably curvier in G3, thanks to the new more variable models.
452* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Her skin is light blue. And sparkly.
453* AsianSpeekeeEngrish: Subverted; people worried she'd end up like this when her diary was released because she's from the Himalayas and speaks broken English, but Creator/ErinFitzgerald gave her a Russian accent instead. When she became South Asian coded in G3, her broken English [[DefiedTrope was dropped]].
454* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: She often says words that sound Russian but don't even exist in the language and are clearly fake.
455* BigSisterInstinct: She's protective of her friends and won't leave them alone if they're troubled, such as when she goes to comfort Iris after Manny's faux-pas in the creepateria.
456* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Her monster type. She even is the cousin of Marisol Coxi, the daughter of the South American Bigfoot.
457* BishieSparkle: If you're wondering, it's ice.
458* BrutalHonesty: She's never afraid to speak her mind.
459* CuteBruiser: Abbey is a white-haired girl with fluffy arm and leg warmers, a very slim build... and she can tie a metal horseshoe in a knot with her bare hands.
460* CuteLittleFangs: Tusks!
461* DeadpanSnarker: Usually less due to actual sarcasm rather than to her personality. See DullSurprise and {{Malaproper}}.
462* DefrostingIceQueen: With Marisol in Monster Picchu. Abbey urges Mari to get to the train for Monster High, but as they become increasingly derailed by their adventures, Abbey starts to have more fun and ends up staying behind for an extra week and taking over Mari's vlog in the meantime.
463* DemotedToExtra: Though she was never one of the main characters, she had comparatively larger roles in some movies (like running for school president in ''13 Wishes''), whereas in other ones, she is only present in the background of certain crowd shots and doesn't even have any lines. She is absent from the Gen 2 fiction altogether.
464* DullSurprise: "Of course I am excited. Can't you tell?"
465* ElementalHairColors: White and blue, ice powers.
466* ExoticEyeDesigns:
467** Her Sweet Screams doll has starburst designs on her irises.
468** Her reboot design includes eye reflections shaped like seven-pointed stars.
469* FishOutOfWater: Or rather out of ice.
470* HairyGirl: The reboot gives Abbey some molded fur like her cousin Mari's.
471* HugeSchoolgirl: Easily towers over most of the rest of the female cast. This is not the case with her G1 and G2 dolls, which are the standard height. Her G3 doll, however, is the tallest in the G3 line so far,
472* AnIcePerson: She can freeze things with a touch, and she constantly has snowflakes trailing after her.
473* IceQueen: [[{{Pun}} Naturally enough]], yet subverted; she just unintentionally gives this impression with her words often being short, sharp, and hurtfully direct. She explains in her profile that this is because talking is "an oxygen waste" in the freezing climate of her native home, causing a lot of them to conserve oxygen and words by being more direct.
474* LiteralMinded: Was this when first arriving at Monster High, but has been growing out of it over time.
475* {{Malaproper}}/{{Dull Surprise}}: Due to "Yetish" being her first language and English being her second.
476* MisplacedAccent: She's from the Himalayas but has a Russian accent. G3 Abbey no longer sounds Russian, in keeping with a more accurate South Asian Himalayan portrayal.
477* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: Her voice and personality fit the trope even though she's supposed to be from the Himalayas.
478* MyNaymeIs: It's spelled like the monastery, not like "Abby", which might be to make a StealthPun on her Himalayan origins.[[note]]Tibet is known for its monastic orders.[[/note]]
479* MysticalWhiteHair: Her dominant color, and she's the daughter of a mysterious snow-beast.
480* MythologyGag: Her Sweet Screams design is ice-cream themed, since she's a cold-weather monster.
481* NewAgeRetroHippie: Her Music Festival doll looks like this, with a scarf headband and a flowy top.
482* NewTransferStudent: For a while.
483* PointyEars: For an added hint of beastliness.
484* PoorCommunicationKills: Pretty much her shtick.
485* PrettyInMink: Her basic dress is trimmed with white fur, paired with a white fur headband. Many of her outfits flaunt fur in some way, most likely a holdover from living 24/7 in a mountain range.
486* ProudWarriorRaceGirl: Subverted: yetis aren't really warrior people, just really tough.
487* RaceLift: She goes from vaguely Russian in Generations 1 and 2 to South Asian-coded in G3, likely to more accurately represent Abbey's Himalayan origins.
488* ShipTease: With [[OppositesAttract Heath]], bordering on being an OfficialCouple.
489* SugarAndIcePersonality: In spades.
490* ValuesDissonance: InUniverse. Part of the reason why she's so prone to PoorCommunicationKills is that, in the Himalayas, the air is thin and there's not much oxygen, so sentences are as short and to the point as possible to conserve oxygen.
491* WorthyOpponent: During the frequent sleepover game of "Gargoyles to Gargoyles," to which she is new, Abbey ignores the ghouls' suggestions to [[LetTheBullyWin let Cleo win]]. When Abbey finally wins, Cleo stands up in shock...only to reveal that she's glad she's finally found someone worth playing against, and challenges Abbey to another game.
492* YouNoTakeCandle: Her English is slightly broken.

495[[folder:Spectra Vondergeist]]
496[[quoteright:294:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reallysmallspectra.PNG]]
497[[caption-width-right:294:[[labelnote:Click here to see Spectra's Generation 3 appearance.]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spectravondergeist20223d.png[[/labelnote]]]]
498->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/ErinFitzgerald (2010-2018); Creator/ValeriaRodriguez (2022-present)
499The soft-voiced, but not necessarily soft-spoken daughter of [[OurGhostsAreDifferent ghosts]]. Introduced as a ruthless and tricky gossip columnist who maintained the "Ghostly Gossip"; she was shown to have misunderstood the influence of her column, but kept it up. As of ''[[Recap/MonsterHighHaunted Haunted]]'', she fully saw the harm rumors could cause and decided to become a trustworthy journalist. She renamed her column the "Gory Gazette" following this change.
500----
501* ADayInTheLimelight: In the special ''Haunted''.
502* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: White with limbs that become transparent at the extremities.
503* ArcVillainess: She's the primary antagonist of the Ghostly Gossip arc in the second season of the webisodes, causing many problems for the heroes/protagonist. However, she's more ObliviouslyEvil, as she doesn't understand the repercussions of her gossip.
504* TheAtoner: Implied with the ball-and-chain motif (see Shout Out). While it isn't clear what her "crimes" may have been, Spectra says in her profile that she "find[s] that it's unhealthy to focus on what one does wrong, especially when contrasted with all the good one does in the unlife."
505* ChainedByFashion: Every doll of hers heavily features chains and shackles. Her Ghouls' Getaway release gives her chains made out of bam[[StealthPun boo]] links.
506* ExoticEyeDesigns: She has purple sclerae to make her especially eerie.
507* {{Goth}}: Likes black, purple, and chains.
508* HeelFaceTurn: From a malicious gossip to a dedicated, kind, and heroic trustworthy news source.
509* HiddenDepths: In Clawd's first diary, she features as a nuisance twisting rumors to attack him. It's shown in her own first diary with Ghoulia that she actually had a pretty rough familial past, left unclear for now. In the short story that comes with her figure, it's revealed that the reason she became a gossip was to deal with the stress she got from moving schools from Haunted High to MH.
510* {{Invisibility}}: Well, she ''is'' a ghost. It comes in handy when you're the school's resident gossip.
511* MaliciousSlander: Subverted, and PlayedWith. In the webisode and CG special storyline, Spectra never intended for her gossip column to harm anyone; she was just fascinated by the lives of the other ghouls and wanted to share their exploits with others, but was too shy to ask them for permission...or to ask them for the whole story, leading to a lot of misunderstandings from her only getting pieces of the story and then using her imagination to fill in the rest. In the diary storylines, she's a borderline-pathological liar who ''doesn't care'' if what she writes harms others-- and gets ticked if people confront her about writing incorrect stories.
512* SchoolNewspaperNewsHound: Was this as the gossip columnist, and still this now.
513* SameCharacterButDifferent: Her doll persona/diary narrative is a stark contrast to her webisode identity - Diary Spectra is malicious, rude, and a pathological liar while her webisode/TV special identity is actually as soft-spoken and sweet as her profile claims.
514* ShipTease: With Porter Geiss in ''Haunted''.
515* ShoutOut: Her ball-and-chain motif is similar to the chains that [[Literature/AChristmasCarol Jacob Marley]]'s ghost wore as a representation of his earthly sins.
516* ShrinkingViolet: While her gossip column is famous, Spectra herself is painfully shy. This is further alluded to with her character's [[VisualPun mostly-purple color scheme]]. Following heavy CharacterDevelopment, she's a lot more outspoken now.
517* TechnicolorEyes: Blue, with purple sclera.
518* TechnoWizard: Not even Ghoulia can hack into her blog!
519* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In ''Haunted'', she gives one to Revenant.
520* UnreliableNarrator: Being the school gossip hound, she has this in spades. For example, while she claims in her first diary that she was once a royal, there's no way to tell if that's fact or fiction.
521* VillainousCheekbones: Played straight for her diary personality, averted for all other forms of media.
522* VocalDissonance: You'd expect her to have a snooty voice since she goes around spreading tall tales. Instead, she has a soft, whispery, childlike voice, which highly contrasts with her angular features and chained-up punk style.
523* TheVonTropeFamily: Her surname, with their components separated, would be "Von der Geist." This may or not be credence to her "descendant from nobility" story. Also, she is most likely from Germany.

525
526[[folder:Operetta]]
527[[quoteright:271:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reallysmallretta.PNG]]
528->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/CindyRobinson
529Daughter of Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera. A bodacious character with a rockabilly style (think the 50s, but goth), she's a skilled musician-- shown to skillfully play piano, violin, guitar, and ''banjo''. Tends to do her own thing most of the time, and won't hang with monsters unless they earn her respect.
530----
531* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Light purple.
532* BrownNote: She notes in her profile that her singing drives monsters crazy when they hear it live.
533* ConsistentClothingStyle: Operetta's fashion is pretty firmly rooted in the [=1950s=], with her prime influence being from rockabilly/greaser culture as a more modern take on a musical Phantom. Other outfits of hers move away from this edge but remain in this era, like her ''Frights, Camera, Action!'' doll having a classic Hollywood look.
534* CoolMask: Operetta has several types of heart-shaped face masks (and one spider web), which cover the left side of her face as a fashion statement. Her ''Frights, Camera, Action'' outfit trades out the eye mask for a fascinator with a veil that covers her scars.
535* CoolShades: Her Frightseers doll gives her purple crystal-encrusted sunglasses, with the crystals more heavily concentrated on the right in an abstract music note to hide her scar.
536* EarlyBirdCameo: Her first mention was in Holt's diary. She's reappeared in Spectra's diary and Cleo's 2nd edition diary.
537* FieryRedhead: She doesn't take well to being threatened, nor being talked about behind her back.
538* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has scars along the left side of her face patterned like swirling musical staffs around a treble clef, which go down to a spider web formation on her shoulder. Like her father, she usually covers the left side of her face. Unlike her father, it's not out of shame, but to make a fashion statement.
539* GoneHorriblyRight: After overhearing Cleo insulting her[[note]] AFTER it was proven that Deuce wasn't cheating on Cleo with Operetta[[/note]], she plans to reaffirm Cleo's suspicions about Deuce and break them up by feigning a relationship with him. Once she talks to him, though, and realizes their genuine affection, she decides to help Deuce instead by writing a song to Cleo to help him express his feelings. However, Spectra appears and snaps a picture of the two going to Operetta's catacombs, causing the original plan to go into effect anyway.
540* MakeMeWannaShout: Shatters a crystal idol with her voice in "Monster Mashionals Part 2", windows in ''Frights, Camera, Action'', and "Uncommon Cold" shows that even her ''sneezes'' can be supersonic.
541* MeaningfulName: An operetta is essentially a smaller-scale opera production, fitting for the daughter of the Phantom.
542* OfficialCouple: With Johnny Spirit as of ''Haunted''.
543* OneOfTheBoys: Maybe this, as she says her best friends are Deuce and Holt.
544* OnlyOneName: Only goes by "Operetta", not even something like "Operetta Phantom".
545* OurGhostsAreDifferent: In ''Haunted'' it's shown that phantoms and banshees count as ghosts and are thus susceptible to [[ChainedByFashion "detention chains"]], chains which cannot be destroyed but merely transferred and only worked off if the original chain-ee (Revenant) does good deeds.
546* ShipSinking: She went out with Holt in the diaries, but because of [[FieryRedhead Holt's]] temper, it didn't last long.
547* SymbolMotifClothing: Piano keys, dice, vinyl records, and spider webs provide the majority of the patterns on her outfits.
548* TheFifties: Dresses in a retro/rockabilly style, and her "Frights, Camera, Action" outfit is influenced by the [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood golden age of Hollywood]].
549* TheRival: Cleo initially sees her as this when it comes to Deuce, but Operetta isn't into him.
550* TwoFaced: Like her father, she has scars down the left side of her face and body. While she does wear facial accessories like her father, hers are intended to accentuate and bring attention to her scars.

558->'''Played By:''' Creator/SalenaQureshi
559
560A werecat who was introduced in the first episode of Volume 2, she's 16 years old and on the first of her nine lives. Her initial story was that when she got tired of Cleo's perfectionist attitude, she and the Werecat Twins left the fearleading squad, and later after seeing how well the squad was doing with Frankie, Draculaura, and Clawdeen, she tried to rejoin only to be rejected by Cleo. In the Monster Mashionals storyline, Toralei leaked the Monster High routine to their rivals Smogsnort's Vampiric Academy as revenge but failed to make them lose. She's later re-inducted to the squad but gets suspended for cheating on a test. She and the ghouls butt heads once more in ''Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love'' and ''Boo York, Boo York''...but it doesn't end well either time, thanks to VillainDecay. Now Toralei's just more of an occasional nuisance than an actual threat. Her online bio describes her as the personification of the [[AlphaBitch mean girl]] with a [[GirlPosse posse]].
561----
562* AdaptationalVillainy: In G3. In G1, Toralei at least has boundaries, such as not bullying depressed people, making alliances with the ghouls when necessary, and never discriminating against other monsters. G3 does away with these qualities, leaving her an elitist, blackmailer, human hater, and manipulator who thinks everyone should bow down to and praise. Despite seeing herself as an upstanding monster, [[{{Hypocrite}} she undermines anyone she considers lower than her]]. She is antagonistic to Draculaura, both for being more popular and a closet witch, and she doesn't have a problem with mauling Cleo, despite [[BullyingADragon Cleo being immortal and far more powerful than her]].
563* AdaptationalNationality: Toralei has an English accent in G3.
564* AlphaBitch: Bitchiness scale rating: under Nefera but above Cleo.
565* BigBadDuumvirate: With Valentine in 'Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love?'.
566* BilingualBonus[=/=]MeaningfulName: "Tora" means "tiger" in Japanese.
567* BitchInSheepsClothing: Based on her artwork, you'd never guess just how malicious she can get.
568* BritishRockstar: In G3, Toralei is lead singer of her band ''The Hissfits'', and speaks with a London accent.
569* CatchPhrase: Frequently prefaces things with "''mrowww''".
570* CatsAreMean: Her crowning moment is stealing Cleo's routine at fearleading camp.
571* CatsHateWater: Being a werecat, she ''really'' doesn't like water. ''[[Recap/MonsterHighGreatScarrierReef Great Scarrier Reef]]'' reveals that she can't swim, and she's not at all happy when she gets turned into a mermaid since it means she's surrounded by water.
572* CatsHaveNineLives: Upon seeing the Werecat Twins chasing mice, she describes it as "so three lives ago".
573* CatGirl: Natch.
574* CuteButCacophonic: In G1, she's a cute CatGirl who ''really'' cannot sing. In G3, Toralei is a talented singer, and she's in a band called The Hissfits.
575* DartboardOfHate: In a FreezeFrameBonus from ''Great Scarrier Reef'', Toralei is shown to have one of Cleo in her locker, along with two photos with the mummy girl's face RemovedFromThePicture.
576* DemotedToExtra: While she still appears in [=G2=], her role as Monster High's main AlphaBitch has largely been taken by Moanica. The role is returned to her in [=G3=].
577* DisproportionateRetribution: Toralei has a habit of taking her revenge schemes too far.
578* TheDragon: To Nefera in ''Boo York, Boo York''.
579* DreadfulMusician: Her singing voice literally stops traffic. Toralei has a mix of awareness and not-caring on the matter, since she knows in order to win the Fierce Rocker's vote, is by being nice to everyone, but deliberately unplugs the rigged mic that was supposed to auto-tune her voice.
580* EvenEvilHasStandards: Stopped Nefera from cheating--also partially out of revenge for Nefera's lack of trust in the werecats' fearleading skills. Also, one diary reveals she doesn't find it funny to kick someone while they're down, and is actually a little hurt when accused of being this.
581* FantasticRacism: In G3, she ''really'' hates humans and witches, strongly believing they don't belong in the monster world, and she's hellbent on getting Clawdeen (who's half-human) and Draculaura (who's secretly a witch) out of Monster High.
582* FieryRedhead: Very quick to anger when her schemes fail, or she doesn't get what she wants.
583* GoodScarsEvilScars: Her left ear is notched, probably as a result of a fight.
584* HellBentForLeather: Toralei's signature look in both G1 and G3 includes a leather jacket to give her a tough, rebellious edge suiting her role as a bully.
585* HiddenDepths: Her diary reveals why she has animosity towards Cleo and showcases her softer side. Not a complete sweetheart, but nicer than one would expect.
586* HypocriticalHeartwarming: This is why she participates in the supportive speech about Lagoona in ''Great Scarrier Reef''. She doesn't like Kala picking on Lagoona, but ''she'' can.
587* IronicName: "Lorelei" refers to a siren-like being with a beautiful singing voice. Toralei's singing voice is a horrendous yowl.
588* LaserGuidedKarma: Often.
589* OhCrap: In ''Boo York, Boo York'', she has this when she realizes the ghouls have followed her to Bloodway to retrieve the voice-holding comet crystal.
590* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Before thinking of taking the voices out of the crystal, the main reason she stole it was for a cash reward.
591-->'''Toralei:''' ''(singing horribly on the bridge)'' TORA''LEEEEEEEEEEEI''! GONNA THROW THE CRYST''[[AccentOnTheWrongSyllable AAAL]]'' IN THE RIVEEER! GONNA GET A LOTTA MONAAAY FROM NE-FE-RAAA!\
592''[honked at loudly to stop]''
593* OrangeBlueContrast: Her Freaky Field Trip and Fierce Rockers dolls play on this, with blue accents contrasting her very orange colors.
594%%* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent:
595* OutOfCharacterMoment: In the time period leading up to Catty Noir's charity performance (where a lucky monster is nominated to sing alongside her), she notices that Toralei is being extra nice to everyone. She fails to realize that this is a ploy on Toralei's part to win the popular vote and get a chance to sing with Catty. Another occasion is more serious when she thanks the ghouls for not just ditching her in Scaris, while it is half-heartedly said, she still seems to mean it, and the topic of being left behind makes her sad.
596* PassionateSportsGirl: In "Field of Screams," the Ghoul Sports tie-in, she's shown to be an ace at every sport. She's no team player by her own admission and mocks the ghouls initially, but when an opponent tries to say she can't play [[ChallengeSeeker the claws are out]].
597* PetTheDog: During the Mashionals, as mentioned above. Also, her diary relates how she secretly helps a troll girl at Math Camp.
598* PungeonMaster: She makes at least one cat pun in every webisode she appears in.
599* RoyalBrat: In Generation 3, Toralei's mother is the current queen of were-monsters. This status goes a long way to explain her selfishness and belief that she's entitled to popularity.
600* SmallNameBigEgo: A key trait of hers is that she's afflicted by overconfidence. When it comes to singing, she won't take any substitutions but her own voice, despite its awful sound.
601* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Sometimes her name has been mistakenly spelled as Tor'''e'''lei.
602* TightropeWalking: Her role in the Freak du Chic. Since she has innate feline balance, she's a natural, which she is quick to rub in her struggling fellow performer's faces.
603* UnusualEars: Pointed cat ears on top of her head.
604* VoiceChangeling: One of her special monster talents is perfectly mimicking anyone's voice and inflections. (i.e. [[{{Pun}} she's a copy-cat]].)

607[[folder:Purrsephone and Meowlody]]
608[[quoteright:293:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reallysmallpurrsephoneandmeowlody.PNG]]
609->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/AmericaYoung (2010-2018), Creator/RikiLindhome (Purrsephone) and Creator/KateMicucci (Meowlody) (2022-present)
610Purrsephone & Meowlody, otherwise also known as the Werecat Twins, largely exist as a silent girl posse for Toralei.
611----
612* AdaptationDyeJob: [=G3=] makes several changes to their appearances; their fur goes from dark grey to lilac, their eyes go from yellow to yellow and purple heterochromia, and the black and white coloration of their hair is distributed differently.
613* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: [=G3=] makes the two of them Toralei's cousins; previously, they had no relation to her outside of being her friends.
614* ADayInTheLimelight:
615** In the special webisode, "Games Ghouls Play," with a pair of weremouse-twin brothers.
616** Meowlody gets a solo release in the "Ghouls' Getaway" line without Purrsephone and Toralei.
617* AlwaysIdenticalTwins:
618** They're this in [=G1=]; while there are some stylistic differences, they're otherwise largely identical, with their outfits usually being {{Palette Swap}}s of each other.
619** [=G3=] goes out of its way to avert this, giving them different hairstyles, outfits, eye colors, and voice actresses.
620* BirdsOfAFeather: They're listed as friends of all of the werecats.
621* {{Cat Girl}}s: Natch.
622* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: In their single diary, Meowlody writes in black ink, while Purrsephone writes in blue ink.
623** Meowlody's white-haired. Purrsephone's the brunette.
624* CoolBike: A scooter. The Wheelin' Werecats playset reveals they share one.
625* GirlPosse: To Toralei. They think of her as a sister.
626* PunnyName: Purrsephone is a reference to Persephone of Greek myth, and Meowlody is a feline twist on "Melody".
627* SingleMindedTwins:
628** Played straight in most of the [=G1=] webisodes and specials, but averted in their shared diary: Purrsephone is slightly less likely to prank and has a desire to break away from her sister while Meowlody is much more chaotic and slightly more dominant.
629** [=G3=] also averts this, with Meowlody being more upbeat and cheerful and Purrsephone being more cool and sarcastic.
630* SuddenlyVoiced: Up until ''[[Recap/MonsterHighGreatScarrierReef Great Scarrier Reef]]'', their spoken lines were limited to meows or hisses. Then, near the end...
631-->'''Purrsephone:''' So [[{{Pun}} mice]] to be able to talk now that Toralei is gone.\
632'''Meowlody:''' Yeah, she always hogs the [[TrrrillingRrrs converrrsation]].
633* ThoseTwoGirls: Little to no dialogue between them. It's implied the reason they don't talk much is because Toralei tends to prevent them from doing so.

639[[caption-width-right:330:[[labelnote:Click here to see Nefera's Generation 3 appearance.]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/neferadenileg3phone.png[[/labelnote]]]]
640->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/WendeeLee (2010-2018), Creator/KrystinaAlabado (2022-present)
641Cleo's malicious older sister who rejoices in asserting her authority over her younger sister and anyone else around. Along with Ramses De Nile in ''Boo York, Boo York'', she seeks to establish a dynasty with the Ptolemies to gain fabulous wealth and power--at the cost of Cleo's happiness with Deuce.
642----
643* AdaptationalHeroism: She's no longer a villain in Generation 3. Cleo and Nefera's rivalry doesn't come from the older sister being awful, but from Cleo trying to measure up to the crown princess' perfect status.
644* AdaptationalNiceGirl: In G3. She constantly hugs Cleo and her friends.
645* AlphaBitch: Even Toralei and Cleo cannot compare to Nefera's bitchiness.
646* ArrangedMarriage: In ''Boo York, Boo York'', Ramses initially wants to marry Nefera to Seth Ptolemy, since she is the eldest daughter of the De Nile family and the heir to his throne. However, Nefera refuses to go through with it, calling Seth "weird", and instead convinces her dad to have Cleo go through with the ceremony, citing her sister's people skills as the reason she would be a better fit.
647* BigBad: Of ''Boo York, Boo York''.
648* BigSisterBully: Very clearly enjoys tormenting Cleo and, based on how Cleo reacts to her, always has.
649* BitchInSheepsClothing: Sometimes, she has to be sneaky with her evil, like sending a group of rival models to a wonderful five-star restaurant but not paying for the meal [[ShockinglyExpensiveBill they can never afford]], or tapping into Deuce's insecurities to break him and Cleo up so her sister can be married into the Ptolemy dynasty.
650* ConsistentClothingStyle: Much like Cleo, Nefera features a high-fashion spin on Egyptian clothing with mummy motifs.
651* CruelCheerleader: Was this during her tenure at Monster High--she was even the captain before passing the reins onto her sister.
652* DaddysLittleVillain: Has all of the ambitions of her power-hungry father.
653* EarlyBirdCameo: First mentioned in Clawd's first and Cleo's second diaries before making an appearance in the webisodes.
654* EstablishingCharacterMoment: After making a grand entrance, she taunts and then blackmails her sister into doing her bidding after finding out about the party thrown behind their father's back. This is all within about ten seconds.
655* EvenBadWomenLoveTheirMamas: Averted. Among her many other sins, Nefera has no respect for her parents. Given her legacy (as the daughter of Ramses de Nile), it's not hard to see why.
656* EvilIsPetty: While she may have some grand schemes, she'll also try to prevent her sister from raising more charity money than her or blackmail her when she has a party.
657* {{Foil}}: To Cleo: she's an example of what her younger sister could have been if she hadn't gained a sense of compassion.
658* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Again, with Cleo. Even pushed forward by her father.
659* HateSink: Nefera is never given any redeeming characteristics, and is always a petty, cruel antagonist who signals trouble for the other characters.
660* ItsAllAboutMe: Nefera only ever thinks about herself and her own desires, and when things start to fall apart, she ''flips out''. This is best shown in ''Boo York, Boo York'' when her scheme to have Cleo forcibly married to Seth is foiled, and the comet ceremony is stopped. Nefera immediately starts whining about how she'll never get her own empire.
661* LaserGuidedKarma: In "Monster Mashionals Part 2" Nefera uses the family idols to get her team of fearleaders to win, but this prompts the catgirls to help Cleo as they learned their lesson from last time and wanted to win fairly this time around. Ghoulia shows Scary Murphy a video of Nefera cheating, and in turn, Nefera is stripped of her previous awards, causing her to give an anguish-filled, glass-shattering scream in defeat.
662* MakeMeWannaShout[=/=]GlassShatteringSound: When Ghoulia exposes her cheating to Scary Murphy, this is her reaction to Scary Murphy's judgment against her. And her scream in ''Boo York, Boo York'' makes the entire gala look at her.
663* MeaningfulName: Obviously a PunnyName on "nefarious", but like her younger sister, it also refers to a famous female ruler of Egypt (Nefertiti).
664%%zce* MissingMom
665* PickOnSomeoneYourOwnSize: She's an adult who likes to make the teenage ghouls and her sister miserable, likely because [[{{Manchild}} she hasn't really grown up]].
666* RichBitch: She puts Cleo's early nastiness to shame, and is shown in ''Boo York, Boo York'' to still not be satisfied with her massive wealth.
667* RoyalBrat: She's the crown princess of the De Nile dynasty, something she ''never'' lets anyone forget about. Much like Cleo, this behavior was drilled into Nefera by her father to make her an ideal ruler, but unlike her younger sister, Nefera relishes in her lofty position and loves making other people subservient to her.
668* SymbolMotifClothing: Wrappings, hieroglyphs, and scarabs.
669* VillainousWidowsPeak: This is the hairline on all of her dolls, and she's definitely a nasty piece of work.
670* VillainSong: She shares one with her father in ''Boo York, Boo York''.

673[[folder:Howleen Wolf]]
674[[quoteright:293:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reallysmallhowleen.PNG]]
675
676[[caption-width-right:330:[[labelnote:Click here to see Howleen's Generation 3 appearance.]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/howleen_8.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]
677->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/AmericaYoung (2011-2016), Creator/VictoriaTWashington (2022-present)
678Howleen is one of the many younger siblings in the wolf family and shares a room with Clawdeen. After being mentioned several times in diaries, she officially made her appearance in the second Monster High TV special ''Fright On''. She was released as a doll in a 2-pack with Clawdeen in early 2012.
679----
680* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: She's no longer Clawdeen's sister in the G3 animated series.
681* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Clawdeen, as mentioned from the beginning. Highlighted in ''Fright On'' with her "borrowing" several of Clawdeen's things without permission. [[{{Squick}} She's even wiped snot off on one of Clawdeen's jackets.]]
682* ConsistentClothingStyle: Howleen's outfits follow a theme of looking more laid-back and eclectic/experimental, as she is characterized as having a disjointed and thrown-together fashion sense that directly contrasts her against her cutting-edge fashionista sister Clawdeen.
683* CuteLittleFangs: Natch, for a werewolf.
684* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Her development in ''13 Wishes'' and ''Fright On'' largely involved her trying to find her place among the student body and distinguish herself from her two older siblings.
685* EarlyBirdCameo: Mentioned in Clawdeen's first diary, and later in Clawd's and Abbey's.
686* EvilMakeover: In ''13 Wishes''. Slashed and edgier clothes, heavy black eye makeup, orange eyes, and a darkened color scheme to complement the [[EvilKnockoff Shadow Ghouls]].
687* HatesBaths: In one of Clawdeen's diaries, she claims that Howleen doesn't take showers very often. However, Howleen herself attempts to refute this in her own diary, claiming that she just showers more quickly than her sister. [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation It's not clear exactly who's more accurate, however.]]
688* KaleidoscopeHair: Not on Clawdeen's level, but definitely.
689* LittleMissSnarker: Definitely has her moments.
690* OddNameOut: Of the Wolf siblings seen--''Claw''d, ''Claw''dia, and ''Claw''deen. However, in the books, she has siblings who share her name theme; triplet brothers ''Howl''don and Howie, and another brother named ''Howl''milton.
691* OnlySaneWoman: In [=G3=]; Romulus might be the leader of the wolf pack, but she's shown to be the smartest and least antagonistic member.
692* PassionateSportsgirl: In the diaries, she beat Clawdeen in football.
693* PluckyGirl: Brash and hyperactive, but definitely resilient--she will not give up on something she wants.
694* PrecociousCrush: Not as bad since they're both in high school. Howleen (14) gets a crush on Romulus (17-18) during Fierce Crush. She does get over it by the end of the episode, though.
695* RedOniBlueOni: Between her and her best friend Twyla. Howleen's the red, which is assisted by their color schemes when she dyes her hair hot pink.
696* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Short, with big hair, a lopsided ear, CuteLittleFangs, and big ol' eyes. Aww.
697* RummageSaleReject: She describes her fashion sense as "taking lots of different styles and mashing them together to make something totally new and creepy cool." Clawdeen says it looks like she got dressed in the dark.
698* SheIsAllGrownUp: Played with. Draculaura mentions her being all grown up, as she's starting Monster High. Also, as of 13 Wishes, she gets a hair upgrade.
699* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Natch for the Wolf fam.
700* SymbolMotifClothing: Pawprints are her main motif.
701* UnwittingPawn: 13 Wishes has [[EvilCounterpart Whisp]] manipulating her to use her wishes for dark purposes in an attempt to take over Monster High.

706->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/ErinFitzgerald
707The daughter of [[OurGargoylesRock Scarisian gargoyles]], she's incredibly protective of her friends.
708----
709* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Light grey with stone speckling.
710* ConsistentClothingStyle: Rochelle's outfits often capture a vintage Parisian tone and cathedral architecture, with weathered black-and-white stripe patterns, accessories, and clothing that reflect old ironwork designs.
711* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Pink eyes, partially pink hair.
712* CuteBruiser: A pastel style and a lilting French accent, and hard to beat on a roller derby maze track... for monsters.
713* LivingStatue: It comes with being a gargoyle.
714* MeaningfulName: "Roche" is French for "rock". It also means "Peace", which is appropriate for a protector monster.
715* MythologyGag: She's constantly in safety work since gargoyles were meant to be protective symbols/beings for their respective buildings.
716* NonMammalianHair: She's a creature with a body of stone, but her hair is soft and fluid like a human's.
717* PaletteSwap: Her Ghoul Chat and Love in Scaris dolls have the same hair and makeup colors, but the distribution's reversed.
718* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: She's 415.
719* SmittenTeenageGirl: In her diary, she develops a crush on Deuce after he accidentally runs into her and, after getting his sunglasses knocked off, explains that his [[BlessedWithSuck stone gaze]] does not work on gargoyles and basilisks. She knows that [[OfficialCouple Deuce and Cleo are an item]], but this does not stop her from getting her pet, Roux, to steal Deuce's casketball in order to lure Deuce to her. Though nothing more than talking occurred between Deuce and herself, Rochelle does admit to feeling somewhat guilty afterward. She's reunited with her actual boyfriend, Garrott Du Roque, in ''Scaris: City of Frights''.
720* SymbolMotifClothing: Fleurs-de-lis, vintage stripe patterns, and architectural designs taken from French cathedrals.
721* TechnicolorEyes: Pink.
722* UnusualEars: Shaped like bat wings and situated on top of her head.
723* WingedHumanoid: Following the classical gargoyle.
724* YellowSashOfPower: In "The Halls Have Eyes", Rochelle is appointed with the position of Safety Monitor, and grapples with its' responsibilities when she feels like she's actively being a killjoy. It turns out her proactivity and dedication promoted her to the leader of the school's Safety Team... which consists of [[SurroundedByIdiots Heath, Manny]] and Slo Mo.

729->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/JulieMaddalena (2012-2016), Creator/CassandraLeeMorris (2016-present)
730Daughter of the [[PlantPerson Plant Monster]]. By her own description, she's a nature-loving eco-punk -- which makes sense, considering her scaritage. Dedicated to promoting recycling and going green.
731----
732* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: She has bright green skin.
733* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: Can inflict a mild form of this on fellow monsters (see her JediMindTrick section for more info)
734* ConsistentClothingStyle: Venus is a punk plant monster whose clothes often use the aesthetic to feature spikes, rips, and tatters that reflect a flytrap's menacing teeth.
735* CuteLittleFangs: Comes with being a carnivorous plant. Curiously absent in CG.
736* ElementalHairColors: Green streaks, plant powers.
737* FreakyFashionMildMind: Well, relatively so. Despite her punk-rock fashion sense, Venus is surprisingly mild-mannered and peaceful, though definitely passionate and loud when it comes to saving the planet.
738* GreenThumb: Has been shown to have an ability to magically grow and nurture plants on a few occasions. At other times she's seen caring for plants, and Venus will be seen using ordinary gardening methods, at which she still seems to be excellent.
739* GranolaGirl: She's obsessed with saving the environment. Howleen slightly fears her eco-spiels.
740* JediMindTrick: She can use her "Power of Pollen Persuasion" to get others to do her bidding. However, she can only affect one monster at a time. (Unlike Batman's Poison Ivy, this works on all monsters, not just ones attracted to her.)
741* ManEatingPlant: Her monster type, with sharp fangs and plant-like attributes. She does stick pretty close to the real-life inspiration for such monsters, though.
742* PlantPerson: Has sharp flytrap teeth, leaf ears, vine accessories (the vines are molded on post-reboot), and bark-textured hands.
743* SymbolMotifClothing: Vines, flytraps, and tooth-like spikes.
744* TalkingToPlants: She does this constantly, talking to trees even after they've been ''processed into paper''.

749->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/JulieMaddalena
750The [[RobotGirl robot daughter]] of a missing MadScientist, and extremely proficient with her rocket boots.
751----
752* AmbiguouslyBrown: At first glance, she appears to be brown-skinned, until you realize she's a robot and her "skin" is actually riveted copper plates. Yet her father's implied to be Desi, so it isn't a stretch to think she is too.
753* CallBack: The patterns on her Gore-geous Accessories dress are mechanical sketches for her Art Class welding mask and robot clock.
754* ClockworkCreature: Robecca is a steampunk humanoid robot powered by a lot of gears--the irises of her eyes are even gears and the back of her legs have spinning gears halfway inside her calves, which can rotate freely in her legs on her dolls.
755* ConsistentClothingStyle: As a steampunk robot, her fashion is appropriately Victorian in influence with the addition of patterns that reference gears, clocks, machinery, or mechanical sketches.
756* CuteMachines: She has an adorable pet mechanical penguin named Captain Penny.
757* DisappearedDad: Her father is Hexiciah Steam, a mad scientist who went missing during an expedition a hundred years ago, though it's implied he may be still alive. She gets to briefly meet him again (from the past) in ''[[Recap/MonsterHighFreakyFusion Freaky Fusion]]''.
758* ExoticEyeDesigns: Her irises are gears.
759* HappilyAdopted: Lives with Kindergrubber, the Home Ick teacher at Monster High.
760* JetPack: She has rocket boosters built into her high-heeled boots -- and enjoys performing daredevil stunts with them.
761* IAmVeryBritish: Robecca is the series' first British character and speaks with a posh English accent.
762* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: Yes, she is, but with more daredevil traits than the traditional type.
763* LivingMacGuffin: The Vampire's Heart (the artifact that decides the rulers of the vampires) was built into her chest by Hexiciah.
764* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In ''Frights, Camera, Action'': leaving out the book, marking all the ghouls' destinations out for Lord Stoker to follow was '''not very bright'''.
765* OlderThanTheyLook: Robecca's creator designed her to look like a teenager--''116 years ago''.
766* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Robecca lives a mostly ordinary life of a teenager despite being built in a laboratory and made of metal.
767* RobotGirl: She's a Victorian steampunk robot built in the shape of a teenage girl.
768* RobotHair: Robecca's a copper robot with soft humanlike hair, though this is easily justified as a deliberate in-universe design choice for realism, as she was built by a human cyborg who wanted a daughter.
769* {{Steampunk}}: In both her body design and her fashion sense. Justified, seeing as she was built during the Victorian era. Accordingly, she favors Victorian or steampunk technology over modern inventions.
770* {{Tuckerization}}: Named after a character designer for the series, [[PunnyName Rebecca]] Shipman.
771* VocalDissonance: She's a robot, but doesn't have a staticky, mechanical voice like you'd expect to hear from one.
772* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Or monster rather, mixed with DoAndroidsDream. Her diary reveals that she has been exposed to some FantasticRacism during the party at Draculaura's, courtesy of some goblin.

775[[folder:Wydowna Spider]]
776[[quoteright:335:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smallwydowna.PNG]]
777->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/ErinFitzgerald
778Daughter of Arachne. Introduced playing a semi-villainous role in the Polterghoul's story.
779----
780* AllThereInTheManual: The webisodes and movies make no effort to characterize her or even include her for the most part, meaning that her diary is the most information one can get about her.
781* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Stark black, #000000.
782* ArachnidAppearanceAndAttire: ''[[SarcasmMode NO]]''[[SarcasmMode , really?]]
783* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Refers to having hearts in the plural, even though spiders have one heart, like humans.
784* ConsistentClothingStyle: Wydowna's fashion is based on her passion for comic books and comic writing, so her clothes include bright graphic text balloons, comic panels, and bitmapped dot gradients to reflect the way color was shaded in old comics.
785* CuteLittleFangs: Black ones!
786* DarkIsNotEvil: Look at her, then read her bio. Different than you might expect, right?
787* ExtraEyes: Has two pairs of insectoid eyes above her main humanoid ones.
788* {{Fangirl}}: Describes herself as a "fanghoul at hearts" and dresses in a "rock 'n' roll geek" style.
789* TheFashionista: Makes her own clothing, and is willing to make outfits for her friends.
790* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Has six arms, and her comic book self-insert is a villain.
791* MythologyGag:
792** [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Arachne]] was an arrogant weaver whose skill and blasphemous attitude and artwork enraged Athena, and was punished by being turned into the first spider. Wydowna is a spider monster who reflects her mother's behavior by making her own clothes.
793** From the diary, we learn more about Arachne. Apparently, she once wove a tapestry predicting Bloodgood's failure, reflecting the versions of the myth that blame her curse on her offensive artwork, and she goes "way back" with Medusa, as both were cursed by Athena.
794* NoBrows: Justified, since her six pairs of eyes (with only the bottom pair being humanoid) would complicate eyebrow placement.
795* OutOfFocus: Her appearance must really spook some people because she rarely shows up in the animated materials. Appears heavily in the Ghoulfriends books, and that's... about it.
796* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: Hates when monsters make black widow jokes about her.
797* PunnyName: "Black widow spider" meets Creator/WinonaRyder.
798* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Subverted. Baddie in the comic, but a really nice ghoul.
799* RedEyesTakeWarning: Six of 'em.
800* ShoutOut: Her doll's middle left-hand hand is posed in the [[ComicBook/SpiderMan web-slinging manner]].
801* SpellMyNameWithAnS: W'''y'''downa, not Widowna.
802* SpidersAreScary: Her basic premise, taking visual cues from the black widow.
803* SymbolMotifClothing: If you didn't guess "spider webs", then you must not have read the rest of this entry. Her outfits also tend to have comic-styled sound effect bubbles.
804* TrademarkFavoriteFood: "Fonboo" [[note]] Fondue[[/note]], since her six arms make it easy to try different flavor combinations.
805* VisualPun: Has a widow's peak hairline.

809[[quoteright:272:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smallscarah.PNG]]
810->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/ErinFitzgerald (webisodes), Creator/PaulaRhodes (''Haunted'')
811Daughter of the [[OurBansheesAreLouder Banshee]]. Possesses [[{{Telepathy}} the ability to read minds]]; and can also communicate telepathically over long distances (albeit not well), as demonstrated in "I Scream, You Scream".
812----
813* AlliterativeName: ''Sc''arah ''Sc''reams.
814* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Bluish mint, which is identical to Frankie's color on the dolls.
815* AscendedExtra: Originally a background character in the webisodes.
816* ConsistentClothingStyle: Scarah is firmly sixties mod in sensibility, with her clothing featuring long boots, blocks of solid color, and a sense of striking simplicity that characterized fashion of the era.
817* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: Assisted by one of Ghoulia's inventions, she and the ghouls take one to Hoodude's head in "Undo the Voodoo" after her initial attempt to read his mind doesn't exactly work.
818* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Scarah's SDCC diary characterizes her as a quiet girl who tries not to stand out, and she observes that other monsters tend to treat her as part of the background. These are thinly-veiled allusions to the fact that Scarah started off as just a generic "backgrounder" character model to populate the scenery in the webisodes and had not gotten characterization before that debut SDCC doll release.
819* MakeMeWannaShout: Averted. She says that her scream is not a weapon and that it isn't destructive.
820* MythologyGag: She tends to shy away from others because her words are always interpreted as prophecies of doom.
821* TheNotLoveInterest: To Hoodude.
822* {{Oireland}}: {{Justified|Trope}}, considering banshees originate from Irish folklore. She doesn't like it when people try to imitate her voice, and she says she dislikes certain cereal-brand jokes that people bring up around her.
823* OfficialCouple: With Billy as of "Scarah-voyant".
824* OurBansheesAreLouder: Or quieter. She actually doesn't scream much at all.
825* PointyEars: Likely because banshees are [[TheFairFolk fairy spirits]].
826* ProphetEyes: Her eyes are blank white, and she has psychic powers.
827* PsychicPowers: She possesses telepathy, likely to explain how banshees in myth know about impending deaths. She mentions that she goes to camp to train it, though, suggesting it may actually be an acquired skill that banshees are more apt at learning.
828* SensoryOverload: This causes Cleo's plan for Scarah to telepathically tell her a Home Ick recipe to go wrong. There are too many students in the halls, and Scarah ends up transmitting some of their thoughts, resulting in a catastrophic recipe in the classroom.
829* TheSixties: All of her outfits are influenced by this era.
830* SymbolMotifClothing: She doesn't have a single symbol theme uniting her outfits, but her Student Disembodied Council dress is covered in pop-art screaming faces, and her Ghoul Fair car wash outfit is themed on green soap suds and splatters.

833[[folder:Iris Clops]]
834[[quoteright:220:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/irissmall.PNG]]
835->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/PaulaRhodes
836Iris is a klutzy {{cyclops}} who's kind, poetic, and passionate about astronomy. She had a crush on Manny for a while but was turned off seeing how [[{{Pun}} bullheaded]] he usually was. After discovering his inner poet with the help of the Inner Monster app and getting to know him better, she realized his HiddenDepths and the two have been dating ever since. Her initial release was with him as a 2014 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive two-pack.
837----
838* AscendedExtra: From a stock background character to a full-fledged one (across the comic ''and'' webisode canon) as of the "Inner Monster" webisodes.
839* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Green skin.
840* BeastAndBeauty: The beauty to Manny Taur's beast: he's a hulking [[HairTriggerTemper temperamental]] JerkJock [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold with a heart of gold]] who towers over her and many other students, she's a soft-spoken and friendly ghoul who's the same height as Draculaura.
841* BirdsOfAFeather: She and Gigi become close over their shared love of astronomy.
842* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Green hair, green eye.
843* CuteClumsyGirl: Yeah. She wants to use her depth perception as an excuse, but she knows that's not the case.
844* DoubleDate: In the comic ''I Only Have Eye For You'', she and Manny have one with Draculaura and Clawd... combined with a shopping spree, of course.
845* EyeMotifs: Her clothes: She loves all patterns, but has a real thing for eye designs. Exaggerated with her second doll's main outfit.
846* HugeGuyTinyGirl: The Tiny Girl to Manny's Huge Guy.
847* InformedAttribute: Her "I ♡ Fashion" box says her love of space leads her to shop for clothes at the Planetscarium gift shop, but none of her outfits are astronomically themed.
848* NoBrows: Since eyebrows only emote as a pair, this makes sense.
849* OfficialCouple: With Manny Taur.
850** OppositesAttract: She's a demure, clumsy, and affectionate aesthete, while he's a loud, boisterous, excitable, and athletic LovableJock.
851* PunnyName: The iris is the colored part of the eye around the pupil.
852* TheSixties: Her "I ♡ Fashion" release gives her a psychedelic eyeball-themed outfit.
853* SymbolMotifClothing: Eyeballs, with winged ones featuring particularly in her second doll.
854* TrademarkFavoriteFood: [[{{Pun}} Black-eyed peas]].
855* YouthfulFreckles: To go with her sweet, inquisitive disposition.

858[[folder:Jane Boolittle]]
859[[quoteright:281:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smalljane.PNG]]
860->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/StephanieSheh
861Daughter of Doctor Boolittle. Helps to promote the "Secret Creepers" line of secret-hiding representations of the characters' pets, as she looks after and talks to them.
862----
863* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Purple skin, which may be a VisualPun on her [[ShrinkingViolet personality]].
864* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Turns out to have better social potential than she thinks, due to observing everything that goes on at MH and thus having information to talk about with others.
865* ConsistentClothingStyle: Her clothes feature accents to make her look tribal, and have fur, feather, and bone details to emphasize this background.
866* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Her Ghouls' Getaway doll.
867* DarkestAfrica: While not played as seriously as it would have been in the past, Jane invokes this trope by being from a mysterious unidentified jungle and was discovered by British explorers.
868* FacialMarkings: Lines of blue dots under her eyes on her first two dolls.
869* FemmeFatalons: Her nails are very long, and her doll's hand mold is clawed (to be exact, it's the same mold as Rochelle and Clawdeen's). She herself isn't villainous.
870* FriendToAllLivingThings: Can communicate with animals, and loves to observe them.
871* HappilyAdopted: By an {{Expy}} of [[Literature/DoctorDolittle Dr. Dolittle]] and his colleague, an expy of [[Literature/TheIslandOfDoctorMoreau Dr. Moreau]]. Her true monster scaritage is unknown, as they found her at either 5 or 6 alone in the jungle.
872* IAmVeryBritish: Has a posh English accent.
873* ImprobableHairstyle: In her "Ghouls' Getaway" release, part of her hair is tied back into a high ponytail that's gelled into a fan shape.
874* InnocentBlueEyes
875* {{Irony}}: Although her theme is pets and animals, her own pet, Needles, doesn't appear in the webisodes.
876* JerkassRealization: A very minor case, and one against herself, as she realizes that she was wrong to complain about her appearance (and set off the other ghouls) after a lesson from Marisol Coxi.
877* JunglePrincess: This definitely contributes a bit to her theme and her name.
878* LethalChef: The reason Home Ick is her least favorite class. As she puts it, she can assemble the ingredients just fine, but trying to put them together ends in disaster.
879* NatureLover: Loves to explore the jungle, and thus is listed as a friend of Venus, Gilda, and Batsy.
880* NoSocialSkills: Yeah. Actually was crawling through the vents in her first few days at MH just to avoid interacting with other students. She's gotten better since, but won't completely be out of her shell for a while.
881* PrettyInMink: Subverted. While she does have fur accents in her outfits, it's to convey a wild theme, rather than elegance.
882* ScaryStitches: Needles is a "voodoo sloth" stitched together. Given Jane's ability to communicate with him, it's likely he's made out of real sloth parts.
883* ShoutOut: Her first name is likely one to the Jane of {{Literature/Tarzan}}.
884* ShrinkingViolet: She's so shy that at first, she doesn't even go to class, preferring to hide in the vents and observe the goings-on at school. Eventually, she becomes confident enough to come out in the open and become friends with the main ghouls.
885* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: While the colors imply that they're not real, she has a few bones and teeth in her accessories, a belt of skullettes, as well as a skullette-topped staff. [[FreakyFashionMildMind None of this is at all indicative of her personality, though.]]
886* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Her "monster power," which she uses with the pets who have sneaked into Monster High.
887* SymbolMotifClothing: Bones, feathers, and tribal skulls.
888* VagueAge: She's either 15 or 16.
889* WildChild: It's how she knows how to talk to animals.
890* WitchDoctor: While her specific monster type is unknown, this is her theme. Her outfits are influenced by African tribal fashions and include feather, bone, and skull accessories, neck coils on her signature doll, and there are patterns of hands clutching mysterious plants on her Ghouls' Getaway dress. Her pet is a stitched-up voodoo sloth and she has the ability to talk to animals. However, due to being raised by scientists, her personality is that of a highly analytical junior anthropologist, studying the most mystifying creatures of all--high-schoolers.

892
893[[folder:Amanita Nightshade]]
894[[quoteright:285:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/small_amanita.PNG]]
895->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/HeatherMoiseve
896A plant monster born from the seed of the Corpse Flower, an extremely rare flower that only blooms every 1300 years, Amanita is very beautiful but also very selfish. She has a history with Cleo de Nile's family and Deuce's mother, Medusa. She's the signature doll corresponding to the "Bloom and Gloom" line.
897----
898* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Tea green.
899* ArtisticLicenseBiology: In real life, the corpse flower is simply a horrible-smelling flower (which is referenced in the webisodes). In this universe, it's also monstrous, and its offspring is a humanoid girl. However, the flower itself and Amanita match its real-life colors, and Amanita's green skin makes her the center of the flower when it opens.
900* BirdsOfAFeather: With her past owner [[AlphaBitch Nefera de Nile]], as both are incredibly narcissistic and obsessed with their own beauty.
901* TheBusCameBack: After abruptly disappearing from the story, she gets a new doll with Nefera in the "Scream and Sugar" bakery line.
902* ConsistentClothingStyle: Amanita's dolls follow a Victorian-influenced delicate style with purple, green, and black tones and floral themes with skeletal leaves.
903* ElegantGothicLolita: Her outfits follow this theme, with an outdated style, purple and black colors, and lace accents.
904* GreenThumb: In "Bad Tomb-mates," it's shown that she's able to manipulate vines. She uses this ability to escape the De Nile tomb. And leave the de Niles behind. It's also implied that she can summon or regrow the Corpse Flower when she feels like an extra-long nap.
905* HighClassGloves: Her second doll has these, molded with leafy patterns.
906* ItsAllAboutMe: She seems honestly confused when people don't worship her and do everything she asks of them.
907* ItsPersonal: Cleo's grudge against her. She could have saved Cleo's family from the tomb but pretty much forgot about them entirely once she was out.
908* {{Jerkass}}: [[SarcasmMode Gee, you think?]] Amanita's completely self-absorbed, and frequently "borrows" other peoples' things without ever returning them. She's billed as a "bad seed" for a reason.
909* KarmaHoudini: Amanita's favorite trick, although she likely doesn't realize what she's doing is wrong. She abandoned the de Niles in their tomb without consequence, and 1,300 years later, she steals all of Draculaura's belongings and disappears from the series.
910* {{Narcissist}}: The thought of thinking about other's needs before hers seems like an utterly alien concept to her, to the point that it's almost a case of BlueAndOrangeMorality.
911* MeaningfulName: ''Amanita'' [[GeniusBonus is also the name for the genus of some of the most toxic mushrooms in the world]]. Well-fitting her toxic personality and "creepy plant" theme[[note]]Yes, mushrooms are fungi. And yes, they have nothing to do with her outfits. But it still stands.[[/note]].
912%%* NeverMyFault:
913* ObliviouslyEvil: She's just too wrapped up in herself to even begin to consider the effect of her actions on others.
914* OlderThanTheyLook: Has probably existed for millennia, but looks like a teen girl.
915* OnlyFriend: To Nefera while she, Cleo, and their father were trapped in the tomb, and apparently resumes her companionship once she wakes up again. Also, lists her BFF as "Amanita Nightshade", so she's apparently her only true friend.
916* PlantPerson: A fancier version than Venus. She's the offspring of a corpse flower and is able to control plants including her own flower whenever she feels like resting.
917* PointyEars: Likely to evoke the shape of a leaf.
918* ShadowArchetype: To Cleo, as both are superior and think highly of themselves. Cleo cares about others, though, whereas Amanita only thinks of herself.
919* StickyFingers: Stole Cleo's clothes when they were both in the tomb, various makeup items from the other ghouls at varying times, and the entirety of the contents of Draculaura's huge closet, ''[[ImpossibleTheft while in the same room as her and all of her friends]]''.
920* SymbolMotifClothing: Flowers and skeletal leaves are recurring patterns in her outfits.
921* ThirdPersonPerson: While she speaks in the first person, Amanita writes in the third person all the time in her diary and profile. It's probably because she feels the narration is more dramatic in the third person, but more likely is that she loves the sound of her own name.
922-->'''Amanita:''' ''"You want Amanita to run? Oh no, no, no! Monsters run to Amanita Nightshade or for Amanita Nightshade. Amanita does not run."''
923* ThirteenIsUnlucky: She sleeps for 1,300 years, and she's a negative force among the cast.
924* UnwantedFalseFaith: Completely averted. When other monsters mistake her for a goddess, she happily accepts their worship.
925* ValleyGirl: Speaks with this accent.
926* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Disappears shortly after her introduction, though nobody's likely to miss her. Averted, as of her second release in the Scream and Sugar line, which shows that she's decided to stick around.

930[[folder:Casta Fierce]]
931[[quoteright:251:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jsdjvf.png]]
932->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/KateHiggins
933Daughter of Circe, and a famous pop star in the monster world. When her nerves overtake her while singing live, she's prone to flubbing lyrics, which throws out accidental hexes on her fans. It happened so often that she now only sings live once a year, on Halloween (and doesn't get a pet because [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore everyone would say it was an ex-fan]]). The webisode, "Casta Vote," shows the venues for live performances are decided by an online vote, and Monster High gets picked. She officially performs at Monster High on Halloween 2014, and the ghouls help her lose her stage fright with help from an interrupting Toralei.
934----
935* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Green skin, in reference to the [[WickedWitch old trope]].
936* Myth/ClassicalMythology: Circe, her mother, was a sorceress in Greek mythology who held up Odysseus and turned his men into pigs. Hence Casta's MythologyGag of turning monsters into animals.
937* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: She loves glittery outfits and accessories, and her dress is almost completely covered in glitter.
938* ExoticEyeDesigns: Purple, with orange starbursts around the pupil.
939* FacialMarkings: She has a small gold slash coming down from her right eye.
940* FemmeFatalons: Has clawed fingers, as witches tend to do.
941* ForcedTransformation: This is what happens to her fans when she makes a mistake in her songs. The mansters ask for this at the end of "I Casta Spell On You", and get turned into love bugs with little top hats!
942* GenerationXerox: As "Casta Vote" shows, she possesses the same hair color, skin color, immense beauty, and immense talent as her mother.
943* HellBentForLeather: Her ensemble includes a strappy studded leather neck harness complete with shoulder cages and purple leather high-heel booties. She's no baddie, though.
944* HotWitch: Tall, beautiful, and vivacious, with a body-hugging Halloween-styled outfit.
945* InnocentlyInsensitive: Genuinely thanks Toralei for providing the distraction she needed[[note]] Crashing after losing control of a spare broom while trying to fly onstage and take over the performance[[/note]] to stop overthinking her lyrics. However, to Toralei, her idol Casta essentially thanked her for humiliating herself in front of everyone.
946* MythologyGag: Her friendship with Catty Noir. Not only are they fellow pop stars, but black cats are most well-known for being [[AllWitchesHaveCats witches' companions]].
947* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Based pretty transparently on {{Music/Beyonce}}, with Casta's name mimicking Beyoncé's one-album alter ego Sasha Fierce and Casta's hairstyle taken from the "Single Ladies" music video.
948* PeripheryDemographic: In-universe. The mansters are unashamedly as into Casta as the ghouls are, becoming instant fans, and they provided the necessary final votes to get Casta to perform at Monster High.
949* PointyEars: To emphasize her magical qualities, and also reference the traditional wicked witch look.
950* PowerIncontinence: Simply invoking an animal in her lyrics is enough to turn her audience into whatever creature she accidentally referenced.
951* ScaryMusicianHarmlessMusic: Wears an over-the-top rock outfit, and her doll's face especially lives up to her name, but her music is bright pop with some rap-like verses before the chorus.
952* ShoutOut: The belts and ribbons tied to her mic stand are a reference to [[{{Music/Aerosmith}} Steven Tyler]] tying scarves to his microphone stand.
953* SignatureSong: In-universe, "The Witching Hour."
954* StatuesqueStunner: Taller than the rest of the cast, with the Big Sister doll mold.
955* TeenIdol: Toeing the line--she's 19.
956* WickedWitch: Her mother, Circe, plays with this by having the traditional green skin, but otherwise, she looks like the Ancient Greek sorceress she is. Casta herself puts a pop-star twist on the idea but still retains the classic buckles, boots, clawed fingers, pointed chin, and wart.

959[[folder:Gooliope Jellington]]
960[[quoteright:262:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smallgooliope.PNG]]
961->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JulieMaddalena
962A giant SlimeGirl adopted by circus folk. More comfortable there with the circus folk than in the outside world where she's odd even by monster standards, she nevertheless ends up at Monster High. The online bio describes her as the personification of a girl that feels like an outsider. Not inspired by any particular monster, but a spiritual descendant of creatures like ''Film/{{The Blob|1958}}'' with elements of ''Film/AttackOfThe50FootWoman''. Signature doll of the Freak du Chic line.
963----
964* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Made of shimmery pink goo.
965* TheBusCameBack: Existed largely to justify the Freak du Chic line, and was seemingly dropped afterward, but she makes a return in the Shriek Wrecked line.
966* CircusBrat: Raised by the circus; in her diary, she also talks about the trope of TheRunaway who wants to join the circus, saying they wouldn't be so eager if they knew how much downtime and hard work goes into being part of the show.
967* CostumePorn: Signature Gooliope's shoes have skeleton carousel horses for heels.
968* DoorstopBaby: Of a sort, as she was left at the circus by her creator.
969* ExoticEyeDesigns: The reflections in her eyes are shaped like radioactive trefoils [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_symbol (☢)]], and her irises have flourish patterns.
970* TheFreakshow: Her circus family includes some that are considered "freaks" even by other monsters. She hates it when they're treated as such though.
971* GiantWoman: One half of her inspiration.
972* GentleGiant: A giant goo monster. Despite her size, she feels very shy and out of her element when not performing in the Freak du Chic.
973* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: All of her jewelry and accessories are gold and her hair matches.
974* HappilyAdopted: By the ringmaster and all the circus folk. They treat her like family (and throw the occasional prank). Even though she's happy, she still wonders about where she came from and has cried over the note from her scientist creator.
975* HeyLetsPutOnAShow: Helps the ghouls put on their own Freak du Chic performance to raise enough money to save the school's arts programs.
976* HugeSchoolgirl: Though proportionally she's the same as the standard dolls, she's a giant at 15 feet 2 inches. A photo posted by MH shows her keeping track of casketball scores, so it's safe to assume she plays and gives a huge advantage to her team.
977* LargeAndInCharge: Takes the role of ringmaster in the ghouls' act, and is the biggest character yet.
978* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Her signature doll's box uses the packaging as a medium to communicate that she's not a novelty large-size version of a character and that she's canonically that large next to the other ghouls. Her box is minimally larger than the other Freak du Chic boxes, and Gooliope is bent and crouched in an uncomfortable way to emphasize that she's too large for her packaging--her hands are even posed behind cracks in the plastic window over her hands as if pounding on it to break out!
979* LeetLingo: Her laboratory designation is Experiment 816, batch 8708, with the numbers translating to letters as "BIG BLOB"!
980* MadScientist: R.S., the person who created her and gave her up for adoption.
981* MeaningfulName: Named after goo and the name Calliope, which is here used to connote the calliope steam organ. The calliope is responsible for a lot of circus music, particularly of the [[CreepyCircusMusic creepy variety]], and a calliope features on her signature headband to drive the association further.
982* {{Metaphorgotten}}: She does this on her Shriek Wrecked box. "You know what they say: you can take the ghoul out of the circus...but, apparently, you can't take her out to sea!"
983* MonsterClown: She's a circus ghoul who knows all the tricks and is a skilled acrobat, with bouncy multicolored hair.
984* NiceGirl: Helps the Monster High ghouls save the arts program at their school out of sympathy for the cause, encourages them when it seems like their show is doomed to fail; she won't even choose a pet for herself because she doesn't want to make the rest of the circus creatures jealous. Her "Personal Monstra" is to understand other monsters because she empathizes with feeling ostracized due to her attributes.
985* NotDrawnToScale: Her signature earrings are supposed to be real wagon wheels, but when placed next to the in-scale standard dolls, they're only about the size of a dinner plate.
986* NotSoForgottenBirthday: Her sixteenth birthday goes completely unnoticed, until the emergency alarm sounds during Gooliope's pity party. It turns out that she's been summoned for a surprise party with gifts from everyone at the circus.
987* PunnyName: As usual for Monster High, but also applies to her original number names - Experiment 816 = BIG, and Batch 8708 = BLOB.
988* QuirkyCurls: Curly hair, and she's an acrobatic contortionist circus ghoul with a trend towards the performative.
989* RaisedInALab: Averted. She's a BlobMonster who was left with a traveling circus when she was just a baby goo. She still has the glass jar she was found in and the note that came with it that identifies Gooliope as Experiment 816, Batch 8708. It also contains an explanation as to why she was made a foundling: "A cold sterile world is no place to raise a little goo. I can give her everything, except a community where the only thing about her that will ever be measured is the size of her heart. I know that you can give her the unlife I cannot."
990* RousingSpeech: Delivers one to the discouraged ghouls when they think they won't perfect their acts in time.
991* ScavengedPunk: This is part of her fashion sense, as her size necessitates the re-purposing of objects to create her outfits. For her first outfit, her dress is made out of tent fabric, her earrings are wagon wheels, she has epaulets recycled from her old lab collar, and her headband is made of organ parts. The other pieces of her outfits are made to invoke this, but due to their scale, seem to be sized-down replicas of the original objects.
992* ShoutOut: Part of her box art references ''Film/AttackOfThe50FootWoman''.
993* ShrinkingViolet: Oddly enough. Despite her theatrical nature as a performer, Gooliope doesn't like to call much attention to herself off-stage. She notes that talking to 'normal' monsters makes her feel nervous.
994* SlimeGirl: Her basic physical nature.
995* StatuesqueStunner: She's over 15 feet tall.
996* SymbolMotifClothing: Radioactive trefoils in her first outfit, and dripping patterns in her Shriek Wrecked outfit.
997* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Due to her own composition, she enjoys gooey food such as jelly donuts, gummy candy, and boba (bubble tea).
998* YouAreNumberSix: Her original designation was Experiment 816, Batch 8708. The folks who adopted her gave her a more colorful name.
999* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: In "Freak du Chic Act 3", it's shown that when she's mad, she involuntarily starts shaking hard enough to make the ground below her tremble.

1002[[folder:Gilda Goldstag]]
1003[[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jjkhkk.png]]
1004Daughter of the [[Characters/ClassicalMythologyMonsters Ceryneian Hind]], and ToylessToylineCharacter until her release in the We Are Monster High 5 pack.
1005----
1006* AlliterativeName: ''G''ilda ''G''oldstag. Bonus assonance with the "ld" repetition.
1007* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Bright gold, with pink dots on her face.
1008* BoyishShortHair: One of very few.
1009* FacialMarkings: Two curved paths of pink dots (same color as her hair) above and to the left and right of her nose.
1010* FormFittingWardrobe: Canonically factors into her fashion sense--tight clothes don't snag on stuff when you're running.
1011* FreakyFashionMildMind: Has a bright pink fauxhawk and a leather jacket, but she's really a calm ghoul.
1012* GranolaGirl: Being a deer will do that. As such, she's friends with fellow nature lovers Venus and Jane.
1013* HornedHumanoid: She has two brown, pointed, and curved horns.
1014* InnocentBlueEyes: A calm and peaceful ghoul with light blue eyes.
1015* LastOfHisKind: Not literally, but she's described as "the living proof that golden hinds are not extinct."
1016* MeaningfulName: "Gilda" means "golden," and Goldstag is pretty self-explanatory.
1017* NiceGirl: Won't race other monsters because her [[SuperSpeed running skill]] gives her [[TallPoppySyndrome an unfair advantage, and she doesn't like humiliating her friends]].
1018* NoBrows: In their place, she has her horns and some pink dots.
1019* SuperSpeed: Downplayed, but her deer-like qualities extend to her running speed.
1020* TheMarvelousDeer: The mythological variety.
1021* TheVoiceless: Has made several background appearances in the webisodes and even got produced as a doll, but she's never had a speaking role.

1026Daughter of DavyJones, and themed after [[{{Pirate}} pirates]]. Signature doll of the "Shriek Wrecked" line.
1027----
1028* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Golden skin.
1029* DressedToPlunder: Has a treasure-chest hat, a big dress, tall boots, and hoop earrings of emeralds carved into [[PirateParrot parrots on perches.]]
1030* ExoticEyeDesigns: Fitting her love of stars, her eyes have stars in them.
1031* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: Her hair and skin are gold, her dress flips around to reveal a golden layer on the other side, her hat opens to reveal some coins, and her shoe heels can be removed to expose the golden coin heels underneath.
1032* GoodScarsEvilScars: Her body is molded with engraved constellations.
1033* MythologyGag: Officially friends with Vandala and River--one a ghost pirate, and the other a teenage reaper. Fitting friends, since her father is the personification of where many pirates meet their end.
1034* OddNameOut: The only character thus far to be marketed with a middle name.
1035* PimpedOutDress: The underlying layer qualifies with a GemEncrusted bodice, glitter, and an elaborate golden pattern of gemstones.
1036* PirateBooty: Her hat, shoes, and dress all have a "hidden treasure" theme. She even states in her bio that she likes her fashion how she likes her treasure--"shiny and jewel-y and gold, and a hint of mystery is always sea-sational!"
1037* PirateGirl: Naturally, being the daughter of pirates' greatest fear.
1038* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name is spelled Da''y''na, not Dana, as preliminary materials showed.
1039* SymbolMotifClothing: Map patterns on the blue side of her dress, and gems on the gold side.
1040* TalkLikeAPirate: Her bio counts with liberal use of piratical turn of phrase as well as replacing [[FunetikAksent 'my' with 'me']].
1041* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Though she's themed heavily after the traditional pirate, her bio states outright that she can't stand thieves or thievery. Instead, she prefers scavenger hunts, even if there's no treasure to be had--she prefers the adventure more than the treasure.
1042* TreasureMap: The blue side of her dress has this theme, and her outer heels have an "X" to let you know they're removable.
1043* YouthfulFreckles: They're stars, a recurring symbol on Dayna, which may be because seafarers often used the stars as a guide because maps didn't exist yet.

1047[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smallzomby_8.png]]
1048A monster representation of [[Music/LadyGaga Mother Monster herself.]] A special collector's doll designed by Gaga's sister Natali, produced for the Born This Way Foundation, and serving as the symbol of MH's "[=#KindMonsters=]" movement.
1049----
1050* TheAgeless: "Like my love, my age is infinite".
1051* AllLovingHeroine: What she stands for and aims to spread, just as the real Gaga does.
1052* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: A very pale bone-like color. This isn't far off Gaga's natural pale skin, though.
1053* BadassInANiceSuit: She's Gaga, after all, and she's wearing her flared-cuff/bell-bottom suit seen in "Born This Way".
1054* CelebrityParadox: A consequence of the aim to make her a more accessible collector's doll. Her tattoos read "LADY GAGA" as they did in the video, even though that's not her name in this world. Likely, the intent was to have her as an accurate piece of celebrity merchandise despite the Monster High context and name.
1055* CoolShades: One of her accessories.
1056* DemBones: She has the skeletal/zombie makeup from the "Born this Way" music video.
1057* ExoticEyeDesigns: Her eyes have heart-shaped light reflections.
1058* FacialMarkings: The aforementioned makeup/tattoos, with airbrushing to denote [[CreepyShadowedUndereyes sunken eyes]], forehead, and cheeks, with brow contours and veins at the forehead.
1059* FemmeFatalons: Her fingers have sharp nails.
1060* IconicItem: Her doll includes the bubble gum and sunglasses that appeared in "Born This Way".
1061* GlasgowGrin: Part of the skeleton tattoos, like Skelita and River before her.
1062* LighterAndSofter: Her facial makeup is considerably less extreme than the real Gaga makeup it's based on, though it's still dark and dramatic.
1063* MythologyGag: Her outfit and accessories are from "Born This Way", and the shoes, which were never seen in said video, are based on her white heels from "Telephone".
1064* NoBrows: To go with the corpse-like appearance.
1065* OurZombiesAreDifferent: She's mostly human-looking, but with skull contours to her head and her tattoos.
1066* PunnyName: Of Lady Gaga.
1067* RiseFromYourGrave: Her DramaticEntrance in "Gaga for Ghouls".
1068* StockingFiller: Her alternate outfit has fishnet tights.
1069* SymbolMotifClothing: The words "Born This Way" appear in the lining of her jacket and form the white stripes of her plaid dress.

1074A [[WhenTreesAttack giant dryad]] who lives in the enchanted garden, and provides a home for her pixie friends.
1075----
1076* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Wood brown, as she is wooden.
1077* ArborealAbode: Serves as this to the three insectoid sprites of the garden, and her doll doubles as a playset to allow this to happen with the toys.
1078* LargeAndInCharge: But of course. She's the main character of the line and the focus of the garden.
1079* PowerIncontinence: She's at an age where she's unable to control her growth.
1080* PunnyName: "Teresa" and "Tree".
1081* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Golden eyes, an earthy and supernatural tone.
1082* UnusualEars: They're tangled branches.
1083* WingedHumanoid: Foliage wings that, on the doll, unfold as she grows.
1084[[/folder]]

1087[[folder:General]]
1088* FunnyForeigner: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. A lot of their foreigner tropes are more monster-specific than analogous to anything in the real world, and they all act like everyday teenage girls. Of course, they still have their moments -- like Mari's explanation of foot-centric Maricoxi beauty standards.
1089* NewTransferStudent: This facilitates their arrival into the story, and episodes about them deal with the new ghouls settling into the school.

1095->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/MarieveHerington
1096An exchange student from [[UsefulNotes/{{Scotland}} Rotland]], she's a Loch Ness monster who loves photobombing.
1097----
1098* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Shimmery sea green with light blue fins.
1099* TheClan: The monsters of Loch Ness seem to have these, and she's a part of one.
1100* CuteLittleFangs: They point upwards, like an anglerfish's.
1101* EverythingsLouderWithBagpipes: She's decent with them.
1102* ExoticEyeDesigns: Multiple eye reflections to look like bubbles.
1103* FieryRedhead: Energetic and outgoing, as opposed to her family's reclusive lifestyle.
1104* FunetikAksent: Her bio, substitutes "tae" for to and "nae" for not and no.
1105** Except, that's not her accent. Those are words from Scots, a West Germanic language and a sister language of Modern English through Early Middle English.
1106* LongNeck: Hers is slightly sloped forward and extended, due to her heritage.
1107* MistakenForRomance: She and Gil, who are both freshwater monsters, by Lagoona and Sirena. It turns out that Gil was just helping her figure out how to tell her parents about her seawater boyfriend Finn... who shortly breaks up with her.
1108* MythologyGag: Lorna loves to photobomb, in contrast to her clan being extremely photo-shy. She can even be seen in some of the selfies in Amanita's packaging!
1109* QuirkyCurls: Curly hair, and the top section is pulled into a ponytail with much larger curls.
1110* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: [[CatchPhrase "Photobomb!"]]
1111* StockNessMonster: Her family. Her diary heavily implies her grandma was the original one who appeared in the famous picture.
1112* SuperSpeed: This is what aids her in her photobombing, where she only appears in the picture- she's nowhere to be seen before the picture is taken, and she's gone before you can even look at it.
1113* SymbolMotifClothing: Celtic knots and Nessies, which feature in her earring, skirt, and bag. Her body is even covered in Celtic knot detailing.
1114* UnusualEars: Fins, as is the trend for water monsters, which are flared and angular.

1120->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/CristinaMilizia
1121A Maricoxi from [[UsefulNotes/{{Peru}} Monster Picchu]] who is an exchange student at Monster High and Abbey's second cousin. She's loud, bold, proud, and larger than life...and she's already pretty large!
1122----
1123* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: The final doll is greyish brown with a slight purple tone, but her prototype was bright pink.
1124* BaitAndSwitch: In "Agony of D'Feet", she says she used to be insecure about her foot size...because she thought they were ''too small''.
1125* BewareTheNiceOnes: She gets very angry when the ghouls are complaining about their appearances after trying on their Gloom and Bloom outfits, as she's a firm believer in loving oneself and accepting your flaws.
1126* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: The Maricoxi is a South American example of the bigfoot cryptid legend, and making her Abbey's cousin fits the dichotomy. To fit the part, she's on the big-sister body, she has very furry limbs, and her feet are the biggest of any Monster High character save for Gooliope.
1127* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Despite knowing her reputation for being loud, she doesn't understand why Lorna keeps adjusting the volume during their video chat.
1128* EightiesHair: Which she can lose guinea pigs in.
1129-->'''Marisol:''' Hey! Where's ''Piggy Pantalones''?\
1130''[said pig pops out of pink mass of hair]''
1131* GenkiGirl: Mari is energetic, athletic, and extremely vivacious. In "Meet You in Monster Picchu", Abbey follows her cousin about the length and breadth of Monster Picchu before Mari finally gets on the train to Monster High.
1132* GratuitousSpanish: She is South American (Peruvian), so it's [[JustifiedTrope justified]].
1133* HairyGirl: Prominent leg and forearm hair, as is the form for sasquatches.
1134* HugeSchoolgirl: Since her doll uses the "Big Sister" mold, she's canonically even bigger than Abbey. Her feet add to this, making her the tallest doll under Gooliope.
1135* NoIndoorVoice: She can be rather loud when talking.
1136* SymbolMotifClothing: Footprints, which appear on her bolero jacket, skirt, shoe soles, and bag.

1141[[caption-width-right:266:Ha! I win, again.]]
1142Hailing from Goreway, the videogame-loving daughter of [[AllTrollsAreDifferent trolls]].
1143----
1144* AllTrollsAreDifferent: She and her brothers have Norwegian accents and live in this world's version of Norway, as a nod to trolls' Scandinavian origins. However, her brothers are big, muscular, and have grey skin, while she's small, slight, and has light pink skin.
1145* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Light pink skin.
1146* ExoticEyeDesigns: Her pupil, iris, and eye lights are ''pixelated''.
1147* FriendlyRivalry: With Ghoulia. Each respects the others' skill.
1148* GadgeteerGenius: She was able to decipher how to open an ancient box without damaging it at ''three''. Looking at devices, things just click in her head. She's confused as to why people think her skill is bizarre.
1149* GamerChick: Her brothers may be better than her at various troll sports, but none of them can beat her in a video game. She comes to Monster High to challenge Ghoulia Yelps, the only other monster with a higher score than her in a videogame leaderboard. She even writes the word [[{{Noob}} noob]] in her diary.
1150* GirlishPigtails: ''Ja''.
1151* HomeschooledKids: She was homeschooled along with her brothers before she came to Monster High.
1152* HornsOfBarbarism: Wears a knitted blue cap with horns, made to emulate a [[HornyVikings battle helmet]].
1153* MeaningfulName: Her last name is traditionally Scandinavian, where the name would be "[X]'s son". Since Kjersti is a troll's daughter, her last name is Trollssøn.
1154** Although a more appropriate name would be 'Trollsdottir' since that means 'Troll's daughter'.
1155** Although, the "-dottir" prefix is rarely used outside of Iceland now.
1156* MyGreatestFailure: Losing a videogame battle to Ghoulia Yelps due to a split-second finger slip. She'd repeatedly reviewed the footage and stressed over it for the longest time-- and when Ghoulia beat her in a Dead Fast game, it was the last straw for her to come to Monster High to regain her title.
1157* MyGreatestSecondChance: Coming to Monster High for a rematch with Ghoulia Yelps. The initial conflict has Kjersti and Ghoulia staring each other down ominously, complete with EyedScreen and a tumbleweed. They're then using their handheld consoles so frenetically that they both ''explode'' and give the ghouls a major case of AshFace. They realize they're well-matched, laugh it off, and are seen later as gaming pals.
1158* NorseByNorsewest: She is a troll girl from Goreway, which is a pun on [[PunnyName Norway]].
1159* OddNameOut: Of her three older brothers: Stomp, Grunt, and Clobber.
1160* PointyEars
1161* QuirkyCurls: A Gorewegian gaming kid prodigy, with very curly hair.
1162* SamusIsAGirl: Her screenname is gender-neutral, and she (understandably) doesn't like or use voice chat, so after months of speaking to her online, Heath thought she was a manster. That's also why he didn't tell her the person who'd beaten her in a climactic game was Ghoulia-- he thought [[IWasBeatenByAGirl Kjersti would have been ashamed]].
1163* TheRuntAtTheEnd: Introduced right after her three significantly larger bros.
1164* TheSpock: Thinks everything through absolutely thoroughly.
1165* {{Tuckerization}}: Named after Kjersti Johnson, a high school student with cerebral palsy who pointed out that Share-A-Smile Becky (a 1997 wheelchair-using doll) would not fit into the elevator of Barbie’s $100 Dream House. Mattel later announced that future models of the house would be designed to fit Becky.
1166* SpockSpeak: Her diary is full of this.
1167* StealthPun: She's a [[{{Troll}} gaming troll]].
1168* YoungestChildWins: Wins at video games every time, that is.

1173[[caption-width-right:266:Not in MY jungle!]]
1174->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/CristinaMilizia
1175Hailing from [[UsefulNotes/CostaRica Costa Shrieka]], Batsy is the daughter of the white vampire bat. She lives in the forest with her family and [[NativeGuide gives tours to groups of monsters who visit it]], but doesn't think highly of them as they often disrespect the environment.
1176----
1177* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: A pearlescent pinkish white.
1178* AnimalMotifs: Angular white bat-shaped decorations adorn her clothing.
1179* CuteLittleFangs: Fitting a humanoid bat-girl.
1180* DeadpanSnarker: She wants to be one toward the clueless and ignorant tourists she deals with, but she knows it isn't allowed.
1181* FacialMarkings: Green and white patterns, and a pink bat on her forehead.
1182* LongDistanceRelationship: In her diary, we see that entering the Monster Exchange program forces her to enter one with an unnamed boyfriend... [[EpicFail that she was actually trying to break up with when she talked to him]].
1183* MakeMeWannaShout: Her echolocation allows her to project her voice, and we see her destroy a harvester in "From Fear To There Part 1".
1184* MythologyGag: States her favorite food as "blood... [[LastSecondWordSwap oranges]]".
1185* NatureHero: If you're around her and mess with the environment, you do so at your own peril. After she's selected for the exchange program, she turns against Monster High after seeing an endangered Ghost Orchid being taken there-- and decides to go only to put the plant back where it belongs. When she arrives, she finds the plant in the MH greenhouse with Venus [=McFlytrap=] and prepares to forcibly retrieve it. When Venus reveals she's actually creating a new type of plant food to help the Orchid's pollination, however, Batsy has a change of heart.
1186-->'''Batsy:''' That Ghost Orchid is staying here at Monster High-- and, so am I!
1187** Her biggest pet peeve is when tourists try to take things from the jungle with them. [[TruthInTelevision This is still a threat to not only forests, but also reefs and savanna, and the reason why tourist guides always tell them not to pick anything up]].
1188* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Most likely based on the hupia, a bat-like spirit with a penchant for fruit, and partially based on the real-life white vampire bat. She'd probably be better described as a [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent werebat]], as her traits are more bat-like than vampiric, having echolocation, wings, a fruit diet, and acute hearing.
1189* PointyEars: Sharper than the other vampires and hypersensitive to sound.
1190* SymbolMotifClothing: White bats and woven grass patterns.
1191* WingedHumanoid: Large tribal-carving styled ones in the same color as her skin.

1197The [[UsefulNotes/NativeAmericans Native Scaremerican]] daughter of a deer spirit, hailing from [[UsefulNotes/NewMexico Boo Hexico]]. She's flirtatious and loves dancing so much that sometimes all it takes is music to get her going.
1198----
1199* CallToAdventure: Or to an exchange program. She gets the idea to come to Monster High from a dream and is told to follow it by Twyla.
1200* CrownOfHorns: Pretty, Innit?
1201* DeerInTheHeadlights: A joke in her official bio is that she doesn't like bright lights being shined in her face, as that makes her want to stand still and run at the same time.
1202* DreamingOfThingsToCome: In her diary: she dreams up a dance routine that inspires her to go to MH, with assurance by DreamWeaver Twyla.
1203* DudeMagnet: An InformedFlaw as of yet, but her official bio says that she has an effect on mansters that makes them fall hoof-over-antler for her and that they, unfortunately, end up falling on their hearts most of the time.
1204* TheMarvelousDeer: She has deer ears, dapples, and hooves and wears an antler headband.
1205* MagicalNativeAmerican: Not as [[JustForFun/{{Egregious}} egregious]] as most examples. She receives a vision to go to Monster High, but that's about it.
1206* MeaningfulName: "Isi" means "deer" in Choctaw.
1207* MythologyGag: In Native American stories, deer women are said to have such an effect on men.
1208* SymbolMotifClothing: Spiderweb dreamcatchers.
1209* UnusualEyebrows: Thick eyebrows connected to lines that go down her nose.

1221Son of {{Medusa}}, and co-captain of the casketball team with Clawd Wolf. In a sometimes tumultuous but still strong relationship with Cleo De Nile, and they occupy the spot of the school's premier power couple.
1222----
1223* BlessedWithSuck: [[TakenForGranite Take a guess]]. Nowadays, he is able to control it so it wears off after 24 hours. When he was a kid he accidentally stoned his pet dragon, Smokey. The effects are supposed to wear off on the event's anniversary, [[TearJerker but Deuce doesn't know which one]].
1224* BreakupSong: "It Can't Be Over" in ''Boo York, Boo York'', after Nefera goads him into breaking up with Cleo.
1225* CoolShades: He wears them at all times so he doesn't accidentally turn anyone into stone. For his dance outfit in ''Welcome to Monster High'', his masquerade mask takes the form of these.
1226* CoordinatedClothes: Not overt, but his ''Boo York, Boo York'' release reflects Cleo's outfit with an Egyptian collar print on his shirt.
1227* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: He has green, serpentine pupils.
1228* CuteLittleFangs: [[Recap/WelcomeToMonsterHigh Welcome to Monster High]] gives him these.
1229* ExoticEyeDesigns: Serpentine pupils, and G2 adds diamond-shaped eye reflections.
1230* DisappearedDad: Deuce's dad is not involved in his life, and his mom Medusa apparently doesn't like talking about him.
1231* FreakyFridayFlip: At the end of "Freaky Fridate" after a kiss from Ghoulia-as-Cleo swaps him with Slo Mo.
1232* GorgeousGorgon: A male example. He's very humanoid, but he has the snake hair, serpentine eyes, and, as the Dawn of the Dance artwork shows, a forked tongue. G3 gives him green skin, but he is still depicted as attractive.
1233* HalfHumanHybrid: According to WordOfGod, In G1 Deuce's father was a normie, thus making Deuce a gorgon-human hybrid.
1234* HiddenDepths: He's more sensitive than he initially seems.
1235* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: In ''Boo York, Boo York'', he's coaxed into breaking up with Cleo by Nefera to ensure the creation of the De Nile-Ptolemy Dynasty, wrongly thinking this will make Cleo happy. They're back together by the end of the movie.
1236* MistakenForCheating: Cleo thinks he's cheating with Operetta when she sees both of them leaving the catacombs. When it's proven this is not the case, Cleo insults Operetta anyway, causing Operetta to invoke this a second time.
1237* MoralityPet: He is one to Cleo. She loves him and treats him with respect. This was prevalent even before she TookALevelInKindness.
1238* MultipleHeadCase: In Generation 3 each one of his seven snake heads can talk with personalities based on the seven deadly sins.
1239* OfficialCouple: With Cleo.
1240-->'''Deuce:''' [[ArcWords We're Cleo and Deuce, and nothing will ever change that.]]
1241* PunnyName: A hip name derived from "Me''dusa''". The name might also be derived from the Greek name Deucalion.
1242* TakenForGranite: He's able to do this with a glance, but those petrified are only in that state for 24 hours, they're indestructible and perfectly safe during that time, and they remain fully aware so they don't miss anything while petrified.
1243* ThemeNaming: In G3, his snakes are named after The SevenDeadlySins, each with the appropriate personality quirks.
1244* TheOneGuy: Not for the franchise as a whole, and in the story, not really one of the main characters, but across the three generations of the franchise, Deuce has always been the top-billed male character marketed like the only male member of the core cast. He was the first male doll released in the second and third generations.
1245* TookALevelInDumbass: Deuce's characterization progressively became less a balance of jock & scholarly qualities and more of a surfer stereotype, seemingly out of nowhere.
1246* TotallyRadical: Played straight starting in Season 3.
1247-->'''Nefera:''' Daddy says he's a slacker, his hair's too long, and he says ''dude'' like every other word!
1248* UnderstandingBoyfriend: It definitely takes a saint-like patience to handle an Egyptian princess for a girlfriend, especially during said princess' less-than-mellow days.

1254->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/CindyRobinson
1255Two students, one body, each an alter-ego depending on who you ask. The 4th generation grandsons of [[Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde Henry Jekyll/Edward Hyde]], and transplants to Monster High after it was revealed Jackson was no normie. At first, Jackson Jekyll existed during the daytime and Holt at night, though neither, or Holt at least, seemed to know about the other. Since, they've each become aware of their condition and weren't initially too enthused. Their condition has also changed: Holt's brought out by loud music with a beat. Jackson is a timid, shy yet cute nerd, and Holt is the loud and boisterous school resident DJ.
1256----
1257* AlliterativeName: Both of their names are alliterative: '''H'''olt '''H'''yde and '''J'''ackson '''J'''ekyll.
1258* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Jackson and Holt can't remember what the other does upon taking control, to the point that they weren't aware of the other's very existence until Frankie told them. However, according to Jackson's journals, it seems that at least some of Jackson's memories can be subconsciously retained by Holt, as he was able to recognize Draculaura in spite of never having met her before.
1259* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Holt has blue skin.
1260* BlackComedy: In the diaries, Jackson introduces himself to Dracula with a joke about needing a hammer to drive a wooden stake into something.
1261* BirdsOfAFeather: Holt and Operetta have a short-lived relationship. Both are associated with music, and both have markings on the left side of their faces.
1262* DeadpanSnarker: Jackson, more evident in his diary, but he has a few moments in the webisodes and movies. In ''Ghouls Rule'', he tells the two bullies arguing over what to do to him first that he'd be happy to come back later if they want to discuss it for a bit. His response to Frankie saying he doesn't fit in is a cheerful "I fit into my locker, trash cans, you'd be surprised what those guys can fit me into." Holt's interjections in Jackson's diary also fall into this at times.
1263* DistressedDude: In ''Ghouls Rule!'', where Holt was framed for trashing the [[{{Muggles}} normie]] school, and was sentenced to the [[NeverSayDie "Trick-or-Treatment".]] The school pulls together to save him.
1264* EarlyBirdCameo: Jackson is first mentioned in Deuce's diary and as his best friend in the official bio. He is mentioned again in Draculaura's and Clawdeen's.
1265* FantasticRacism: Jackson's first appearance in the webisodes shows us how "normies" are viewed by many monsters. Even Heath, his cousin, is a little embarrassed to admit they're related at first. Deuce quickly accepts Jackson, though, probably because they've already met
1266* FieryRedhead: As Holt, a literal [[{{Pun}} hot-head]].
1267* FlamingHair: As Holt.
1268* GenkiGuy: Holt is constantly excited about everything and much more extroverted and headstrong than Jackson.
1269* HalfHumanHybrid: Their maternal Jekyll/Hyde side of the family makes Jackson human and Holt a monster, while their father gives Holt fire elementalism on top of it.
1270* HiddenDepths: Holt is apparently a talented painter, as revealed in the "I Know What You Did Last Fright" webisode. When exactly he had the time to develop that skill is never mentioned. His diary establishes that he's calmer when by himself, likes songwriting, and wanders around the neighborhood at night to spy on the neighbors, accompanied by Crossfade.
1271* HollywoodChameleons: They share a pet chameleon named Crossfade who is green/yellow with Jackson and red/orange with Holt.
1272* IJustWantToBeNormal[=/=][[IJustWantToBeSpecial Special]]: Holt experiences the former, due to his sometimes violent temper accompanied by uncontrollable flames, and Jackson feels the latter, due to being the only "[[{{Muggles}} normie]]" in an all-monster school. He even once [[VampireVannabe asks Draculaura to turn him]] out of desperation, an offer she respectfully declines.
1273* InsufferableGenius: Just once, in 13 Wishes- after being forced to do Howleen's homework for the next several weeks, presumably after being threatened if her motivation methods in the rest of the movie are anything to go off, Jackson takes the time to smugly tell Howleen that she's only cheating herself out of a quality education. It's certainly a bold thing to say to the girl who enslaved half the school and is sending people to the shadow realm for pissing her off.
1274* JekyllAndHyde: Well, duh. Whenever one side is "awake", the other has a blackout. Originally, in the diaries, Jackson was awake during the day, but became Holt at night. Later chronologically in the webisodes, Jackson turned into Holt if he heard loud music with a beat. This was finally addressed in Jackson's journal, explaining that "the volatile nature of [his] elemental side + [his] Hyde heritage + being a teenager = [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything constant change]]." Unlike the original Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Holt isn't evil, just temperamental, extremely impulsive and overexcited.
1275* LargeHam: Holt. "Yo FRAN-KEEEEEEEYEAAH!"
1276* NiceGuy: Both of them; Jackson is quieter and more polite, and while Holt is unreliable and has a quick temper, he's still a generally nice kid. Frankie even notes that Jackson is a kind person and Holt is "super sweet once you get to know him".
1277* NoIndoorVoice: Holt screams everything he says with very few exceptions, possibly because there's always music blaring when he shows up.
1278* OffWithHisHead: In Ghouls Rule, the "Trick-or-Treatment" is clearly going to decapitate Holt (who seems remarkably unconcerned by the possibility, sounding mildly irritated and saying "this is getting a little ridiculous" while being strapped into it).
1279* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Jackson's first reaction upon learning about Holt is to start ranting about how Holt is everything he's against and listing off all his flaws. While Holt doesn't seem to care about their situation much, Jackson continues to consider him an annoyance at best and outright hates him at worst.
1280* RedOniBlueOni: Jackson's the blue and Holt's the red. This is reflected by their eye colors.
1281* SameCharacterButDifferent: The movie/webisode versions are very different from the diary versions. Garrett Sander has said in an Instagram Q&A that the entertainment team drastically changed Jackson's personality for the webisodes, and that he had wanted to flesh both characters out and "show", that Holt was more than just yelling everything", but presumably was struck down by Mattel.
1282** In Holt's diary, his loud, boisterous behavior seems like an act he puts on while [=DJing=], or around other monsters; the rest of the time, he's somewhat melancholy and spends a lot of time wandering through the neighborhood, quietly spying on his neighbors. His temper is only mentioned in the diaries and as his freaky flaw, while in the movies and webisodes he's more impulsive than angry.
1283** Both Jackson's and Draculaura's diaries establish him as more sarcastic and introverted than the timid NiceGuy he is in the movies/webisodes. He's also pretty athletic in the diaries.
1284* ShipSinking: With Frankie in the webisodes. Yes, having two constantly altering personas makes dating very, very difficult. The second was subverted, though; Frankie took a break from them so they could focus on getting along and not constantly lashing out at each other, and now they're on good terms with one another. In the Monster High app, the possibility of them making up is teased with a cute pic of Jackson and Frankie on a picnic.
1285* ShipTease: Jackson with Draculaura at first, but it didn't last. Holt with Operetta until his temper ruined a date. Both of them with Frankie later on -- twice over.
1286* SplitPersonality: It's left ambiguous as to whether they're two separate people in one body or the same person with a split personality. Frankie seems to believe the latter, saying they're "the same guy underneath", while Jackson and Holt both lean toward the latter. Garrett Sander has said on Instagram that he considers it "more split personalities", though.
1287* ShrinkingViolet: Jackson is a RareMaleExample, being quite timid in most situations. He's quiet and almost always nervously drawn in on himself. In his first appearance, after being knocked over in the lunchroom, he meekly gathers his things back up instead of saying anything. This doesn't really apply in the diaries, where he has a morbid sense of humor and outright tells Manny to leave him alone (which doesn't work out for him until Holt gets involved).
1288* TheReveal: During "Here Comes Treble", when Jackson is exposed to loud music, he makes a mad dash out of sight from public view. Unfortunately, he doesn't make it in time and changes mid running up the school staircase where everyone sees him.
1289* TokenHuman: Subverted.
1290* VagueAge: Holt's age is listed as "16... I think".

1295->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/YuriLowenthal ("Fur Will Fly"), Creator/OgieBanks (current)
1296Clawdeen's level headed older brother. He's the captain of the school's football and casketball squad but realistically knows he can't always be in sports, so he studies to go into sports medicine. His basic doll release was with Draculaura, and the two are strong contenders for Monster High's most stable relationship.
1297----
1298* AcademicAthlete: Fits more into this. Even studying sports medicine.
1299* BewareTheNiceOnes: A LighterAndSofter variation of this occurred when he successfully tricked his sisters into completing his chores.
1300* BigBrotherMentor: He helps keep Clawdeen and Howleen in check when necessary.
1301* BigEater: As demonstrated in the "Hide and Shriek" webisode, and in Bloodgood's daily log in which he and Howleen competed in a huge haunt dog eating contest. It was declared a draw, because they both had to be subsequently '''hospitalized'''.
1302* BigLittleBrother: He's younger than Clawdia by two years but is noticeably taller than her.
1303* BigManOnCampus: He's fairly popular and respected.
1304* TheBusCameBack: Returns in the reboot in a football two-pack with Clawdeen.
1305* DraggedIntoDrag: Is put into a dress and wig in Master of Hiss-guise to pose as Elissabat as a means of distraction so she could sneak away.
1306* DumbJock: Defied and inverted. He even [[LampShade lampshades]] that he hates being seen as this just because he plays football, and will be glad to compare grades with anyone who does think he's one.
1307* EarlyBirdCameo: First mentioned in Deuce, Clawdeen and Ghoulia's journals.
1308* GeniusBruiser: Maybe not a genius in the sense of Ghoulia or Jackson, but he'll proudly compare grades with anyone who thinks that him being a football player also makes him a DumbJock. Also studying to be in sports medicine.
1309* GentleGiant: Unless he sees a full moon.
1310* GratuitousSpanish: In G3. He grew up with his Latina mother, so he equally fluent in Spanish and English and switches between the two whenever the mood strikes him.
1311* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Draculaura.
1312* LongLostRelative: In G3. Clawdeen's mother disappeared while pregnant with him, and it isn't until [[spoiler:Clawdeen opens the portal halfway and lets him through]] that she learns she has a brother.
1313* LovableJock: Skilled and passionate when it comes to sports, but also a very down-to-earth guy whose BigBrotherInstinct extends to his friends and teammates.
1314* MayDecemberRomance: Though he's two grades above Lala, he's 1583 years younger.
1315* OfficialCouple: With Draculaura, but once was with Cleo.
1316* PuppyDogEyes: Gives a good pair in Hide and Shriek when he begs Draculaura to give him another chance - fearing that they would break up due to his [[BigEater eating habits]].
1317* RaceLift: Like Clawdeen, he's Afro-Latino in G3.
1318* ShotInTheAss: '''Simultaneously''' along with C.A. Cupid by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard her own misfired arrows]] in ''Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love?''.
1319* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Like the rest of the Wolf fam.
1320* WhatTheHellHero: He wasn't going to put up with Clawdeen giving Draculaura a serious fainting spell thanks to that steak in an attempt to prove they were too incompatible to date.
1321* WolfMan: More like Wolf Boy, but he'll get there.

1329->'''Played By:''' Creator/JustinDerickson
1330
1331Heath Burns is a fire elemental, and thus has the ability to [[PlayingWithFire use flame]]. He was at first an extra in the webisode "Substitute Creature" and was shortly introduced as Draculaura's short-lived crush. Heath is a show-off and gets on the girls' nerves by being self-centered and insensitive. He's friends with most of the boys. In "Fear Pressure", we learn he is Jackson's cousin.
1332----
1333* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: In G1 he's a fire elemental, but a throwaway line in the G3 animated series suggests he's the son of TheDevil, and thus likely a demon himself.
1334* AmbiguouslyBrown: His eye shape suggests that he may be of Asian decent.
1335* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Light yellow skin.
1336* AmazonChaser: Has shades of this from his crush on Abbey, who he pursues despite her freezing him solid.
1337* AscendedExtra: Initially, he was a bit comic relief character. Although, since he was featured in the Lisi Harrison book series, he was probably never meant to stay an extra.
1338* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: A fire elemental, with yellow skin, slicked-up red and yellow hair, who mainly wears red, orange, and black or ash-grey.
1339* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Anything written from his perspective implies that he has this and it's the source of a lot of his behavior problems. Might have something to do with him being a fire elemental.
1340* CasanovaWannabe: There's not a ghoul he doesn't think he has a chance with, and he frequently annoys them with his obvious flirtation.
1341* ClassClown: No stranger to horseplay, or humor. Part of why Abbey likes him.
1342* DoggedNiceGuy: To [[ShipTease Abbey]].
1343** Also to Frankie in the "Boo Year's Eve" short.
1344* ElementalHairColors: Red and flamed shaped, fire powers that actually set it aflame.
1345* FlamingHair: Literally sometimes, regardless of whether or not he wants it to be. In G3 this is made permanent, which causes some trouble.
1346* TheFool: Generally has his heart in the right place.
1347* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Shades of this; his friends don't actively dislike him, but they've got a low tolerance for his antics.
1348* HandsomeLech: He's a shameless flirt. Ghouls, while admitting that he ''is'' good-looking, will usually not give him the time of day after the first meeting.
1349* HiddenDepths: In G3, he uses news of the Great Scarrier Reef being endangered to [[BurningWithAnger cook creme brulee]], not only showing a talent for baking but suggesting he's got some environmentalist tendencies.
1350* IronButtMonkey: Can't do much to somebody made of fire.
1351* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rude, insensitive, chauvinistic, and can be down right childish at times, but he genuinely cares about his friends.
1352* LadykillerInLove: Less "ladykiller", more "shameless flirt". Has this with Abbey. The other ghouls thought he was just messing around when trying to ask her to the dance, but he was actually serious about it.
1353* OrangeBlueContrast: His G3 design plays his orange flames against a blue tracksuit.
1354* PlayingWithFire: He can burst into flame.
1355* SadClown: His diary seems to hint at this.
1356* ShipTease: With Abbey, bordering on being an OfficialCouple. His first of two G1 dolls came in a 2-pack with her.
1357* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Heath started out as this for Holt, until both characters ended up in all continuities (neither replacing the other) and Heath underwent CastSpeciation to become more of a ButtMonkey.
1358* WholesomeCrossdresser: ''Scaris: City of Frights'' has him end up in a dress twice as BookEnds. He doesn't mind all that much, even enjoying it the second time, but can't get the hang of the heels.

1361[[folder:Sloman "Slo Mo" Mortavich]]
1362[[quoteright:305:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smallslomo.PNG]]
1363->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/AuduPaden
1364One of the zombies and Ghoulia's boyfriend. He hangs with the guys and is in the chess club, and is also one of the school's casketball co-captains.
1365----
1366* EloquentInMyNativeTongue: Like with Ghoulia, Slo Mo appears to be a typical brainless zombie, but his profiles and diary entries reveals he writes in a formal manner.
1367* FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome: In "Flowers for Slo Mo", he initially feels too stupid for Ghoulia. Lagoona doesn't think so, but when she mentions Cleo's potions, he gives her PuppyDogEyes and she agrees to take him to her. The potion makes him very intelligent, but he becomes an insufferable know-it-all, angering Ghoulia. He agrees to take the antidote when Lagoona points out the problem, and all is well.
1368* FreakyFridayFlip: Ends up swapped with Deuce for the last bit of "Freaky Fridate" as Cleo-as-Ghoulia kisses him.
1369* FrozenFace: Most of the time but [[WhenSheSmiles when he smiles]] it's really cute.
1370* GeniusBruiser: Unbeatable at chess even by Ghoulia, stellar in math, exemplary at spatial thinking, and able to break a guitar in half no sweat.
1371* {{Gonk}}: In the webisodes, his face is always slack and his eyes are crossed. Not the case for his dolls, which are much more flattering.
1372* HairTriggerTemper: A mild example. He does not react well to being cheered during his chess games or to Heath's guitar playing. Being poked in the eye seems to be an exception though (at least if it's Ghoulia).
1373* HiddenDepths: Despite looking wall-eyed and appearing as a typical jock, he's also a chess club member and can even beat Ghoulia at it. Not to mention he's amazing at math.
1374* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Like Ghoulia.
1375* LovableJock: Also on the school's casketball team.
1376* MeaningfulName: It's short for "Sloman Mortavitch", and also refers to the way his zombie movement makes him look as if he's living in ''slow motion''.
1377* ObliviousToLove: Subverted in that they were already dating, but in the Love's Not Dead doll release diary he takes an awfully long time to realize Ghoulia's trying to get him to ask her to the dance... after she's taken him to clothes stores, asked him if he's ever worn a tuxedo, and generally dropped more hints than the little lost kids in the woods dropped breadcrumbs.
1378-->'''Slo-Mo:''' Well, how was I supposed to know that Ghoulia wanted to go to the prom? She has never even talked about it. In fact, the only thing she has even wanted to talk about lately are the new dresses and shoes she has been looking at, which I find very odd since she rarely ever mentions things like this and... [[OhCrap oh no.]] I am in serious trouble.
1379* OfficialCouple: With Ghoulia. And he is easily willing to fight someone over her.
1380* OnlyKnownByHisNickname: If you only watched the animated material, [[AllInTheManual you'd never know his full name]].
1381* OurZombiesAreDifferent: He's on the Varsity Chess team, as well as the Varsity Basketball team.
1382* SuddenlyVoiced: In "Flowers for Slo Mo", Cleo's potion doesn't only boost his intelligence, but it gives him articulate speech and better motor skills.
1383* BilingualBonus: "Mort" is French for "death", and the "avitch" is a common suffix on Russian names, suggesting he is half French half Russian.

1388->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/YuriLowenthal ("Blue Lagoona"), Creator/EvanSmith (current)
1389Son of the River Monsters. Has a loving but troubled relationship with Lagoona, thanks to his parents' prejudice against saltwater sea monsters.
1390----
1391* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Light greenish blue.
1392* CarpetOfVirility: Not in the cartoon, but his dolls have visible scales on his chest which suggest this.
1393* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Both his parents are equally opposed to the relationship. His parents even made him change schools for a time to try and break them up, but they eventually gave in and let him go back.
1394* FantasticRacism: In the family, and something Gil has to fight against.
1395* FishPeople: Can't breathe on land, so he always wears a water filled helmet if not around water. His fishy features include scales on his head and chest, webbed hands, and fins on his arms, legs, head, and back.
1396* {{Irony}}: He's an aquatic monster who needs to be underwater at all times, but Gigi says he has a dry sense of humor.
1397* NonMammalianHair: Scales and a fin take the place of human hair.
1398* OnlyKnownByHisNickname: You won't hear him called "Gillington" much. Averted only in Lagoona's 13 Wishes diary, after Howleen's wish turns her into a psychotically devoted freshwater monster.
1399* LovableCoward: Generally a loyal friend and a nice kid, but this'll pop up quite a bit-- a lot of the time in terms of seawater creatures. He's getting over that.
1400* RealMenWearPink: He takes dance class, though it's not stated what he performs.
1401* UnusualEyebrows: They have two points.

1406->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/AuduPaden
1407A zombie who is best friends with Slo Mo and Ghoulia.
1408----
1409* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Nearly all of MH's characterized zombies have gray skin, while nearly all background zombies have green skin. Don, being an AscendedExtra, is the only characterized zombie with green skin.
1410* AscendedExtra: He never became a full character, but he did receive a better treatment than background character. He even got a model in the very first CGI special.
1411* LoveTriangle: Type 7. He and Slo Mo both fancy Ghoulia and Ghoulia fancies them both. It led to tension within their group for a while, but eventually Slo Mo and Ghoulia became an item and Don was okay with that.
1412* ShoutOut: His name is a reference to ''[[{{Film/DawnOfTheDead1978}} Dawn of the Dead]]''.
1413* ThoseTwoGuys: At times is this with Slo Mo, especially since zombies don't "talk".

1419->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/AuduPaden
1420The son of [[OurMinotaursAreDifferent the Minotaur]], and ex-school [[{{Pun}} bull-y]].
1421----
1422* AscendedExtra: From generic bully to the focus of one of the graphic novels and appearances in every special.
1423* BeastandBeauty: The beast to Iris Clops' beauty: He's a hulking [[HairTriggerTemper tempermental]] JerkJock [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold with a heart of gold]] who towers over her and many other students while she's a soft-spoken and friendly ghoul who's the same height as Draculaura.
1424* BerserkButton: The color red, and being called a "bull".
1425* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A blonde tuft of hair on his head.
1426* HiddenDepths: He's a lot more emotional and sensitive than he lets on; he's just not good at showing it.
1427* HugeGuyTinyGirl: The Huge Guy to Iris' Tiny Girl.
1428* HypocriticalHumor: Wears a red shirt. Hates red.
1429* JerkassRealization: In his SDCC diary: after Frankie and Abbey confront him for bullying Howleen, he sees himself in her and makes a dedication to being a nicer guy. Seems to have paid off.
1430* JerkJock: Pre HeelFaceTurn.
1431* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Recent advances in characterization and his SDCC exclusive diary reveal this.
1432* {{Leitmotif}}: In his early webisodes, if Manny made some [[{{Pun}} bull-headed]] action you'd hear a Spanish guitar and castanets.
1433* LovableJock: He is now.
1434* MythologyGag: [[Myth/ClassicalMythology His shirt has a maze on it.]] Doubles as GeniusBonus. Also, his relationship with Iris, as both are monsters from Greek myth.
1435* NonStandardCharacterDesign: One of the few, if not, the only student whose head doesn't appear humanoid.
1436* NoSocialSkills: In terms of romance, he's not very good at making the right impression, and is bad at expressing himself through words. He causes a hiccup in his impending relationship with Iris when he accidentally insults her passion for space, but he makes up for it when he rescues her from a disastrous assembly at school.
1437* OfficialCouple: With Iris Clops, as of their two pack in SDCC 2014.
1438* OppositesAttract: He's a loud, boisterous, excitable LovableJock while his girlfriend, Iris, is a demure, [[CuteClumsyGirl clumsy]] and affectionate aesthete.
1439* StrongerSibling: When Frankie threatens to tell his sister Minnie about his bullying, his reaction indicates that she may be this. However... we haven't seen her since.
1440* SymbolMotifClothing: Mazes.
1441* TookALevelInJerkAss: Why he became a bully: in middle school, he was scrawnier than most and often got picked on. Manny was too slow to run, too shy to tell, and too small to fight; and thus often got harassed by a goblin kid and his friends. If he tried to say something back, he got a JustJokingJustification. In the summer before he started MH he took on a job that bulked him up significantly, and on the first day of school the goblin tried him again while he walked by-- [[DirtyCoward but didn't say much when Manny came back to him]]. As payback Manny started making the lives of that gang hell every time he met them, and eventually branched out to other monsters until his JerkAssRealization.
1442* TopHeavyGuy: This is pretty much the only way he could use a doll stand, and even then, the clip is extremely wide.
1443* YouRemindMeOfX: Howleen reminded him of his middle school self: picked on and too young to help themselves out. Along with Abbey chewing him out, that caused his JerkAssRealization and fostered his HeelFaceTurn.

1447[[quoteright:203:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hoodude-voodoo_268.png]]
1448->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/CamClarke
1449A raggedy doll created by Frankie to be her boyfriend in the webisode "[=HooDoo=] You Like?". After Frankie decides that she doesn't need a guy to fit in, she tosses him away, only for him to reveal that he's alive and heartbroken at her "breaking up with him." He gets over it later, and now infrequently tags along with the ghouls on their adventures. He was released in a 2 pack with Scarah Screams as the SDCC 2012 dolls.
1450----
1451* BewareTheNiceOnes: He discovers that his voodoo powers only work when he has a possession of the monster he's affecting when Manny flips him a coin and he later replaces a lost pin. He decides to try again and keep the coin "just in case".
1452* ComicallyMissingThePoint: He interprets a romance quiz's questions to be referring to his physiology, rather than his personality ("Are you flexible"- yes, but what does that have to do with anything, and "Would you change anything about yourself"- no, doing so would be an insult to Frankie's craftsmanship.)
1453* CuteClumsyGirl: Male version. A sentient voodoo doll capable of causing pain to others by merely holding their possessions, but a goofily charming one.
1454* TheIngenue: Arguably a rare male example, being extremely naive and innocent about most things.
1455* LargeHam: He's rather... melodramatic about Frankie "dumping" him.
1456** And just about any other emotion he may be feeling. He actually lists his oversensitivity and tendency to wear his heart on his sleeve as his Freaky Flaws in his later-released bio.
1457* MadeOfIron: In this case, it's the opposite, but his cloth-stuffed body means he's unable to feel pain and is difficult to harm. This allows him to be a tackling dummy for the football team, which gets him an honorary award for team spirit.
1458* NiceGuy: The angriest he ever got was when he realized Frankie didn't want to date him any more, and he got over that. Currently a rather chill dude.
1459* TheNotLoveInterest: He slowly gets over Frankie while forming a strong bond with Scarah Screams the banshee. Peers have asked them why they aren't dating, and he admits that, while he's really close to her, he just doesn't feel any romantic attraction to her.
1460* TrueCompanions: With Scarah. He's the only monster who isn't nervous about her words, and she helps get him to see the truth about his relationship with Frankie.
1461* PaintingTheMedium: His physical doll is plush, rather than articulated plastic.
1462* ScaryStitches: Due to being a voodoo doll and being created by a stitched-up monster.
1463* ShoutOut: He jokingly [[WaxingLyrical quotes a bit of "Frosty the Snowman"]] when talking about his creation.
1464* VoodooDoll: Negative things that happen to him stretch to the other Monster High students.
1465%%* YoungerThanHeLooks: Like his creator.

1470->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/EvanSmith
1471Son of Literature/TheInvisibleMan. He has a passion for illusions and special effects, but, despite the potential for pranks, he's not a bad guy.
1472----
1473* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Pale bluish-white skin that fades into translucent turquoise. His body below the neck is translucent blue in his second doll release.
1474* AprilFoolsDay: Mattel released the profile information for Invisi Billy as a teaser for his soon-to-be-released doll... on April 1st. Complete with a full package mock-up of an empty box, with the box quote, "How do you know I'm not in the box?"
1475* CanonImmigrant: Kinda. First seen in the Lisi Harrison series, and made a speaking debut in the webisode "Fright Dance".
1476* ConsistentClothingStyle: Billy's clothes are dark blue, teal, black, and white pieces that feature visual transitions and high-contrast patterns that suggest optical confusion and invisibility.
1477* DeadpanSnarker: Fitting his slacker archetype style.
1478* {{Hipster}}: This is how he describes his style, which is the "alternative" variety.
1479* {{Invisibility}}: Natch.
1480* NiceGuy: Generally unassuming in the webisodes, and helps Rochelle out during her dance audition out of the kindness of his heart.
1481* ThePrankster: Invisibility comes in handy for these.
1482* OfficialCouple: With Scarah, as of "Scarah-voyant".
1483* ShoutOut: Instead of a pet like most of the other characters, he owns a [[UsefulNotes/SchrodingersCat box which may or may not contain a cat]]. Officially, he owned a dog once but had to give it away since (due to his invisibility) animal control thought it was a stray every time he went out for a walk with it.
1484* TheSmartGuy: Adores physics, and even uses his knowledge for some of his pranks.
1485* SymbolMotifClothing: He tends to wear dual-chromatic patterns that blend together like optical illusions.
1486* ToylessToylineCharacter: Both played straight (see AprilFoolsDay above) and as of 2014, averted.

1488
1489[[folder:Cy Clops]]
1490[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ghoulfriends_cy_clops.bmp]]
1491A [[{{Cyclops}} cyclops]] semi-exclusive to the ''Ghoulfriends'' book series as one of the protagonists.
1492----
1493* NiceGuy: Although instantly smitten by Robecca, when they properly get to know each other their relation at first is one of supportive friends. Cy in general is considerate, brave, and a team player.
1494* OfficialCouple: With Robecca Steam. In fact, the only time he is mentioned outside of the books is on social media, and always in context of Robecca.
1495* PunnyName: He's a cyclops and his name is Cy Clops.
1496* TheSmartGuy: He more or less fulfills Ghoulia's role within the ''Ghoulfriends'' team.
1497* StalkerWithACrush: For the first half of ''Ghoulfriends Forever'', Cy follows Robecca around because he thinks she's pretty and gradually because he wants to protect her from the weird things going on at school. In doing so, he helps her out wherever he can, like by bringing along stuff she forgets or giving her the time. It's only at these moments Robecca notices him and eventually she confronts him about his odd tendency to always be around when she needs something. He apologizes and explains himself, after which he stops the stalking.
1498* ToylessToylineCharacter: He's the only one of the ''Ghoulfriends'' team without a doll.

1501[[folder:Finnegan Wake]]
1502[[quoteright:261:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smallfinn.PNG]]
1503[[caption-width-right:261:[[labelnote:Click here to see Finnegan's Generation 3 appearance.]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/finneganwake20223d.png[[/labelnote]]]]
1504The son of [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent merfolk]] introduced in [[VerySpecialEpisode "Ready, Wheeling, and Able"]], and released as a doll after winning a 2014 poll.
1505----
1506* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Has blue skin.
1507* BigBrotherMentor: To River (not Styxx), a young sea monster at a children's hospital who also has a motor disability.
1508* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: If you count fins as hair. Both his eyes and head fin are blue.
1509* DisabledMeansHelpless: The ghouls initially think this of him, but it's fiercely averted: he's more than capable of getting around on his own.
1510* ExoticEyeDesigns: His doll has a wall-eyed look, with eye reflections pointing in opposite directions. This is to reflect the way fish's eyes are set on opposite sides of the head.
1511* HandicappedBadass: Due to extensive training, he's now an extreme daredevil.
1512* MrFanservice: He is quite handsome and pleasant to look at.
1513* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: He's a paraplegic; his tail just "never started working".
1514* ShoutOut: To a [[Literature/FinnegansWake James Joyce novel]] of all things.
1515* StealthMentor: How Finnegan first interacted with River: when he was refusing to do his physical therapy, Finnegan stepped in to motivate him. After that talk, River starts his therapy and after six months is ready to return home. The last entry in Finnegan's diary is about him giving River a going-home present made with the help of Wydowna and Ghoulia-- a set of waterproof temporary tattoos just like his.
1516-->''I rolled past his room and stopped just outside the doorway. He ignored me at first, so I pulled out my iCoffin and started playing a game, After a while, I could feel him looking at me, and he finally asked, "What game is that?" I told him it was Dead Fast 3. "I beat Dead Fast 2 before I got sick." I kind of grunted at him and kept playing. "Are those real tattoos?" I told him they were. "Did they hurt?" I told him they did. "Mom and Dad said I can't get a tattoo, not even for my birthday." I said, "Getting inked is a big decision. Maybe they don't think you're responsible enough to make it yet." "That's what my parents said, but I'm almost 10 and I'm way responsible." I asked him why they thought he wasn't responsible. He didn't say anything for a bit, and finally mumbled, "Cause of physical therapy." I said, "Yeah well, good luck with that. Catch you later."''
1517* TopHeavyGuy: Though it's justified a little by his paraplegia- there would be no way for him to exercise his tail.
1518* WheelchairAntics: His forte. Once got caught doing jumps in the empty school pool off the construction ramp by Bloodgood, and when she congratulated him he thought he'd be doing that all day-- turns out she meant "While I admire your adventurous nature and athletic ability, ignoring the 'No Entry - Construction Zone' signs has earned you [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment two hours in detention where you shall write I WILL NOT DO STUNTS IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE a thousand times."]] Ouch.

1521[[folder:Johnny Spirit]]
1522[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/playing_the_boos_happy_johnny.jpg]]
1523A greaser ghost who is so bad he got detention for thousands of years. He and Operetta were put into a conflict over who owned the catacombs, but connected over their love for music. They've since started dating.
1524----
1525* GreaserDelinquents: We never get to know what he did to earn millennia of detention, but in any case he's not sorry for it. The entire student body feared his return with the exception of Toralei, who wrongly hoped to find an ally, and Operetta, who wasn't intimidated. He's since mellowed down.
1526* NoodleIncident: What he did exactly to earn thousands of years of detention is never explained.
1527* OfficialCouple: With Operetta as of ''Haunted''.
1528* ShoutOut: To the 1979 song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia".
1529* ToylessToylineCharacter: Johnny undoubtedly was designed to be sold as a doll some day, but it didn't happen before ''Monster High'' got rebooted. His odds right now are as good as zero.
1530[[/folder]]
1531
1532[[folder:Spelldon Cauldronello]]
1533A manster that only got to have a role in Kieran's diary before the franchise got rebooted. He's Kieran's first friend at Monster High and seems to be some kind of magical monster.
1534----
1535* CoolBigSis: Spelldon has one, who is not named. He used to travel with her before deciding to spend some years attending high school.
1536* TheIngenue: Comes across as this from Kieran's description. The reason he and Kieran talk at all is because Spelldon is new at Monster High and thus does not know about Kieran's past. There's also the line "Meeting him totally made me space out," that's an odd way of saying he got distracted.
1537* PunnyName: "Spell" and "Sheldon", perhaps with hints of "cauldron". It's all there is to estimate his species from.
1538* ToylessToylineCharacter:

1542* ''For Kelpie Blue, see the Special Introduced page.''
1543
1544[[folder:Ebbie Blue]]
1545A younger sister of Lagoona.
1546----
1547* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Light blue.
1548* FishPeople: To a greater extent than any of her siblings- she has a mermaid tail.
1549* GirlishPigtails: For extra cuteness.
1550* SymbolMotifClothing: Bubbles and wave patterns.
1551* UnusualEars: Large fins almost as long as her head.
1552* YouthfulFreckles: It runs in the family.
1553[[/folder]]
1554
1555[[folder:Fangelica Van Bat]]
1556->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/CristinaMilizia
1557A lost vampire princess who was locked away under the school. After the ghouls find her, Draculaura adopts her as a sister and she begins attending Monster High.
1558----
1559* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Pink.
1560* CoolCrown: A small, bat-shaped tiara with a large blue heart-shaped center stone ringed by smaller pink stones. She has it in purple and gold. With matching necklaces.
1561* CuteLittleFangs: Requisite.
1562* HappilyAdopted: By Dracula, as with Draculaura.
1563* LostOrphanedRoyalty: A vampire princess with MIA birth parents.
1564* MorphicResonance: See VoluntaryShapeshifting.
1565* OlderThanTheyLook: She looks like a little kid in doll form, and a tween in ''Adventures of the Ghoul Squad''. She's actually been under the school for about half a millennium or more, and she attends the high school.
1566* PrettyInMink: Owns a blue fur neck collar (pink on her more casual doll).
1567* PunnyName: Of "fang" and "Angelica".
1568* RememberTheNewGirl: Somewhat [[Justified]] by ''[[=AotGS=]]'', which reveals she's actually not related to Draculaura or Dracula by birth, and was [[ParentalAbandonment left behind by her own parents (who are either dead or missing)]].
1569* SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism: Much more batlike than any other vampire we've seen so far in the series, likely due to her youth.
1570* TechnicolorEyes: Her eyes are pink in doll form, but purple in-series.
1571* ThemeNaming: Her name has the same structure as her sister's--a vampire word in a portmanteau with a common human name.
1572* TheVonTropeFamily: Has the Dutch version, "van".
1573* UnusualEars: Pointy bat ears on top of her head.
1574* VoluntaryShapeshifting: She can also transform, and keeps the tiara when she does to help differentiate her from Laura.
1575* WingedHumanoid: She has pink bat wings.
1576[[/folder]]
1577
1578[[folder:Wolf family siblings]]
1579[[WMG:General]]
1580* CoordinatedClothes: All of them are wearing matching jagged-stripe pajamas with eyes peeking through the dark stripes.
1581* SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism: Like Fangelica, they're much more animalistic, with wolf noses, tails, and large paws. As above, this is due to their inexperience with transforming, which is made very clear by baby Weredith being the wolfiest of them all.
1582
1583[[WMG:Pawla Wolf]]
1584A younger sister of Clawdeen.
1585----
1586* GirlishPigtails: Very very curly ones.
1587* PunnyName: Of "paw" and "Paula".
1588* YouthfulFreckles: One of the younger members of the family, and the only one with visible freckles.
1589
1590[[WMG: Barker Wolf]]
1591A younger brother of Clawdeen.
1592----
1593* OrangeBlueContrast: His outfit's main colors.
1594* PunnyName: Based on "bark" and "Parker".
1595
1596[[WMG: Weredith Wolf]]
1597The baby of the family.
1598----
1599* HairyGirl: Considering that she has the least human form of all of her family, this is an understatement.
1600[[/folder]]
1601
1602[[folder:Alivia Stein]]
1603Frankie's younger sister, possibly built recently.
1604----
1605* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: A slightly bluer green than Frankie.
1606* FamilyEyeResemblance: A rather odd case-- Alivia appears to have the two eyes that the Steins couldn't find to give Frankie a matching pair!
1607* PunnyName: On "Olivia" and "It's alive!". (Or the uncommon spelling "Alivia" and the phrase.)
1608* ScaryStitches: Much like her sister, but in different places. She has a line of stitches on the opposite cheek, some on her limbs, and like her sister, a line of stitches that lines up with her bolts. Since the bolts are on her head, however, the stitches go across her forehead like the original 1931 Monster.
1609* StrongFamilyResemblance: She's like a miniature identical twin, likely to imply that the Steins used the same plans to build her as they did for Frankie.
1610* SymbolMotifClothing: Gears feature on her dress.
1611* ZombieGait: Her arms are molded in this pose.
1612[[/folder]]

1616* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: This is to be expected.

1618A younger sister to Cleo.
1619----
1620* CoolCrown: Wears a tiara shaped like a giant bow.
1621* PunnyName: Of "Farrah" and "pharaoh".
1622* SymbolMotifClothing: Pyramids cover her dress.
1623
1624[[WMG: Lux de Nile]]
1625Cleo's younger brother.
1626----
1627* CoolCrown: A golden band that encircles his head.
1628* PunnyName: Based on Luxor, a famous city in Egypt.
1629* SymbolMotifClothing: Pyramids and hieroglyphs.
1630
1631[[WMG: Sandy de Nile]]
1632An infant, the youngest in the family.
1633* CoolCrown: A Tutankhamun-style headdress.

1643->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/LauraBailey (2010-2018), Creator/DebraWilson (2022-present)
1644->'''Played By:''' Creator/MarciTHouse
1645
1646The Headmistress of Monster High, who tries to balance doing what's best for the school, and encouraging her students to be themselves. She is often seen in the company of her horse Nightmare. Bloodgood and Nightmare had a doll release in late Spring, 2013.
1647----
1648* AdaptationalJerkass: Her G3 counterpart is a lot stricter and more intolerant about breaking monster norms. Specifically, she is prejudiced against "normies" and opposes Clawdeen becoming a student until she is discovered to be half-werewolf in the cartoon, and expelled Eddie Hyde for being half-human in the movie, while in the original cartoon she not only allowed Victor Frankenstein and Jackson Jekyll (a full human and half-human) to attend but outright stated she hoped one day to achieve complete coexistence.
1649** The G3 cartoon teeter-totters between this trope in contrast to G1 and AdaptationalNiceGuy in contrast to her movie counterpart. In the movie, the revelation of Clawdeen being half-human gets her expelled before Bloodgood changes her mind, while in the cartoon the revelation of Clawdeen being half-werewolf is what finally convinces her to let her in. Even prior, her general tone and sympathy for Clawdeen gives more of a vibe of "rules are rules" rather than outright prejudice.
1650* ADogNamedDog: As her figure's story reveals, turns out Nightmare's species are ''all called Nightmares''.
1651* BadassLongcoat: A purple riding coat suitable for governing and travel.
1652* BadassTeacher: But of course. She commands a lot of respect, but she's really a good principal.
1653* CoolHorse: Nightmare, despite being [[HellishHorse scary-looking at first]], falls into this.
1654* HeadlessHorseman: The obvious inspiration. Her doll's box bills her as the daughter of the famous rider, but her online profile lists no background, only saying that ''she'' is the Horseman. Perhaps both are true and it's a legacy title she took on.
1655* LosingYourHead: Regularly removes her head and puts it back on. Her doll is able to do this too, since she uses the Create-A-Monster neck system[[note]] In the box, her head is even packaged separate to emphasize the fact.[[/note]].
1656* MeaningfulName: Her first name, "Nora", is very traditionally Irish, which culturally ties Bloodgood into the Irish folkloric Dullahan, a monster similarly known for being a decapitated horse-rider (though, traditionally, the Dullahan is more grotesque than Irving's Horseman).
1657* NoNameGiven: Until Hexiciah's SDCC diary, no first name was given for her.
1658* NotSoAboveItAll[=/=]NotSoStoic: Mainly firm and unshakable, she can sometimes crack up, and she has a great sense of humor.
1659** In a serious example, her backstory goes a little into her character as a teenager and her ordeals with finding Nightmare, showing a less self-assured Bloodgood than the one we know.
1660** She's also implied to have had a past relationship with Hexiciah before opening Monster High.
1661** She also shows immature distress with the Board of Deaducation's deadline on the Freak du Chic fundraising.
1662** When Howleen pulls a prank on her by filling her office with packing peanuts, she gives her a talking-to and sends her off. The next day, however, Howleen opens her locker to find it filled to the brim with packing peanuts. Twyla thinks this is hilarious, but Howleen is indignant.
1663* PretentiousLatinMotto: Her box gives her "Fronti nulla fides" ("there is no truth in appearances"/"don't judge a book by its cover"), reflecting MH's belief in diversity and inclusion.
1664* PrimAndProperBun: Her signature hairstyle.
1665* RaceLift: Generation 3 makes her African American.
1666* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite being strict when it comes to the rules of the school, she encourages her students to take chances and be themselves, sometimes even directly involving herself in their actions/antics.
1667* StatuesqueStunner: On the big-sister body mold, to emphasize her adult age and imposing presence.
1668* TakenForGranite: In ''Fright On''. Gets better, though.
1669* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Her preferred drink and her preferred method of meeting her new students is tea.
1670* {{Tuckerization}}: Her last name references Erin Bloodgood, who's been the marketing manager for numerous Mattel franchises, including Monster High.
1671* VagueAge: "Wise enough to be your grandmother, old enough to be your sister". Judging by her height and face, it appears she's somewhere in the human equivalent of her thirties or forties.
1672[[/folder]]
1673
1674[[folder:Hexiciah Steam]]
1675->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/DaveBMitchell
1676The self-made {{cyborg}} scientist who built Robecca, who he sees as his daughter. Long disappeared on an expedition, he was finally found by Robecca along with his fellow explorers... and Cleo's mother.
1677----
1678* ChekhovMIA: It had been a known fact that Robecca's dad was missing, and he's later shown in the ongoing story. In Recap/MonsterHighFrightsCameraAction we see him as TheFaceless in a flashback receiving the Vampire's Heart from Elissabat, and he's mentioned in her diary as a friend of the family who helped her escape. Then, in Recap/MonsterHighFreakyFusion he fully returns... kind of. The ghouls actually bring a version of him from the past into the present (along with Viktor Frankenstein), [[StableTimeLoop give him the idea to create Robecca, and let him return back to his time]].
1679** The SDCC diaries see Hexiciah reunited with Robecca in the present, along with his friends on the expedition--all had been frozen in time for over a century far underground.
1680* DisappearedDad: Sometime after Robecca's century-long disappearance, he vanished. Even after she woke up, his current status is unknown.
1681* FashionableAsymmetry: A cogwheel iris in his right eye, and a steampunky robotic [[ArtificialLimbs left arm]].
1682* GoodParents: Even though he's her creator, he sees Robecca as his own daughter and nothing less. He also taught at Monster High at and after its completion.
1683* HalfHumanHybrid: His mother was a fairy.
1684* MadScientist: He's mad enough to replace his arm with a fully working mechanical prosthetic, and his own pupils with cogwheels... not to mention the sentient and self-sufficient daughter built well enough to last a century and more.
1685* SteamPunk: His machines all have this aesthetic, since he's actually from the 19th-20th century.
1686[[/folder]]
1687
1688[[folder:Mr. Rotter]]
1689->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/YuriLowenthal ("Idol Threat"), Creator/CamClarke (current)
1690A phantom who teaches at Monster High. He is known for his impossible standards.
1691----
1692* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Light greenish blue.
1693* CatchPhrase: "I don't ''give'' 'A's!"
1694* {{Jerkass}}: He's not exactly a nice monster, and the students strongly oppose his nomination for "Creature of the Year".
1695* PetTheDog: Despite being a jerk, his Decomposition class' video essay on why they belong at Monster High moves him to tears, and gives them each an A grade.
1696* SelfServingMemory: He brags to his students in ''Freaky Fusion'' that he was Hexiciah Steam's favorite student when he attended Monster High and was always prepared for classes. However when visiting the past, Frankie discovers that not only was Mr. Rotter an incredibly inept student and was constantly late, Hexiciah flat-out calls Rotter his ''least'' favorite student.
1697* ShoutOut: Based on Lon Chaney's portrayal of Theater/ThePhantomOfTheOpera.
1698* VampireVords: Speaks with this accent.
1699[[/folder]]
1700
1701[[folder:Mr. Hackington]]
1702->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/AuduPaden
1703A Cockney Igor/butcher who teaches at Monster High.
1704----
1705* {{Jerkass}}: Delights in inconveniencing his students with surprise tests and threatens them with punishment. [[BrickJoke Needless to say, his nomination is opposed, too]].
1706* TheIgor: What he used to be.
1707* InSeriesNickname: Mr. Hack is used often.
1708* MadScientist: He ''does'' teach science.
1709* SadistTeacher: He's the kind of person who cancels studying periods in favour of making his students run laps, and frequently springs surprise tests on them with the threat of punishment if they refuse.
1710* ShoutOut: His mask may invoke [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]].
1711[[/folder]]
1712
1713[[folder:Mrs. Kindergrubber]]
1714A witch who teaches Home Ick.
1715----
1716* MeaningfulName: She's based on the witch from ''Literature/HanselAndGretel'', who planned to eat the titular children--thus, her name means Childsearcher. Can't eat kids if you can't find them! It also relates to her taking in kids who don't have a home, and invokes "grub", which fits her theme.
1717* ParentalSubstitute: She took in Robecca and Hoodude because they needed a home.
1718* {{Perfectionist}}: She wants her students to follow instructions to the letter, overlapping with GermanicEfficiency.
1719[[/folder]]
1720
1721[[folder:Mr. Where]]
1722An invisible man who teaches Drama at Monster High.
1723----
1724* BandagedFace: His face is completely covered by bandages.
1725* CoatHatMask: He's never seen without his signature attire of a long coat, hat, and BandagedFace.
1726* TheFaceless: His face is always hidden by bandages, or concealed due to being an invisible man.
1727* GentlemanAndAScholar: His official bio calls him an intellectual and "a man of culture and refinement."
1728* {{Invisibility}}: He's invisible, and can turn his clothes invisible if he wants to.
1729* MeaningfulName: Fittingly for a character who can vanish in a moment, he's named Mr. Where. (i.e.: ''Where'' has he gone?)
1730* NiceGuy: He's described as one of the most overtly nice and helpful of the teachers, frequently offering his students advice instead of criticising them for mistakes. His appearances bear this out, such as helping G1 Frankie up and asking if she's alright after she accidentally walks into him.
1731* ShoutOut:
1732** He's essentially a walking reference to ''Literature/TheInvisibleMan'', albeit a much nicer and more pleasant one in character.
1733** His favourite quote is stated as "[[Theatre/{{Hamlet}} To see or not to be seen; that is the question.]]"
1734* TearsOfAwe: Downplayed. When Draculaura gives an impromptu audition for Monster High's performance of ''Hamlet'', he's shown dabbing at his eyeglasses (since his face is covered) with a handkerchief.
1735[[/folder]]
1736
1737[[folder:Ramses De Nile]]
1738->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/AuduPaden
1739Cleo and Nefera's strict father, who once ruled as a pharaoh and never lets anyone forget. In the modern world he is an antique dealer and looking for new ways for his family to rule. Nefera and Cleo get their royal attitudes from him, though Cleo has broken free of his cruel influence.
1740----
1741* AristocratsAreEvil: "Evil" might be a stretch. "Unscrupulous" and "Self-interested" are more appropriate.
1742* CreatorCameo: Voiced by the Generation 1 director.
1743* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Ramses views Deuce as a lowly slacker unworthy of Cleo's affections and he's tried many times to break them up.
1744* GloryDays: Rameses continues to see himself as pharaoh, a ruler handpicked by ''gods'', even though he's an ordinary (albeit ridiculously wealthy) citizen now.
1745* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: Naturally- he's the head of the de Niles.
1746* ManipulativeBastard: In "Ghoulfriends for Life", Ramses and Toralei's probation officer set up a kidnapping of Cleo and Toralei to invoke civil war with normies.
1747* ProfessionalButtKisser: He spends a majority of his interactions with Seth Ptolemy and his mother being as overly flattering as possible. Queen Amuncommon is decidedly not impressed.
1748* VillainSong: He and Nefera sing a song in Boo York about ruling Boo York by any means necessary.

1750
1751[[folder:Dracula]]
1752->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/MichaelSorich
1753Draculaura's father, and in the reboot, one of the founders of Monster High. Prior to the events of Recap/WelcomeToMonsterHigh, he and Draculaura kept in hiding for at least a century after a global flight of all monsters from the public eye.
1754----
1755* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Somewhat purple.
1756* {{Expy}}: In Recap/WelcomeToMonsterHigh: not only of the classic literary Dracula, but also somewhat of WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania's Sandler-voiced Count--especially his apprehension toward humans, isolation of his daughter, and backwards attitude.
1757** Looks-wise, where his daughter's facial design was a shout-out to Creator/BelaLugosi, his is one to Creator/ChristopherLee.
1758* FantasticAnthropologist: As of ''Welcome to Monster High'', Dracula teaches Humanology class in edition to being headmaster of the school. While he is vague on the why's of human behavior, the information itself appears to be sound, so it's not a clear-cut case of TheBlindLeadingTheBlind.
1759* FashionableAsymmetry: Gets a half-undercut in Recap/{{Electrified}}.
1760* FrozenFashionSense: Spats, a pocket watch, a red cravat, and a silk vest, in what is presumably TheNewTens. No cape.
1761* GoodParents: He only cares for Draculaura's well-being, which is why he initially turned her after Camilla's death.
1762* LargeHam: Say what you will about Sorich's performance, but he's working hard on it.
1763* MorphicResonance: See VoluntaryShapeshifting.
1764* OlderThanTheyLook: According to an offhand comment by Draculaura, he's at ''least'' '''ten thousand years old'''.
1765* PermaStubble: Very faint, but it's there.
1766* PointyEars: Quite vampiric.
1767* RetiredMonster: Pun not intended. This Dracula is long gone from the literal and figurative ladykiller of old, now content to live peacefully and do whatever makes his daughter happy.
1768* StoicSpectacles: A pair of fairly modern horn-rims, unusual for a Dracula expy[[note]]Possible StealthPun on "blind as a bat"[[/note]].
1769* SymbolMotifClothing: Spiders all over his vest--a motif he shares with his daughter in Recap/WelcomeToMonsterHigh[[note]]Look closely at Draculaura's dress: the polka dots are spiders[[/note]]. Also, bat-wing shaped cuffs and vest collar.
1770* VampireVords: Natch.
1771* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Into a bat. As an identifying mark, he keeps the glasses and has hair resembling his humanoid form.

1773
1774!Others
1775
1776[[folder:Fright-Mares]]
1777A side franchise to MH to cash in on the pony-lovers' market, taking the form of small figurines with limited articulation and molded clothes. The titular Fright-Mares are a mysterious race of diminutive centaur hybrids spawned from and infused with the nightmares of monsters, taking on aspects of the monster and their dream, and becoming capable of shaping the dreams of their monster type in the future. They stay secluded in the Dream Pastures deep within the Monster High catacombs, and the only ones able to enter their domain are Boogeymen such as Twyla.
1778----
1779* AnIcePerson: Meadoe Flurry, a yeti Fright-Mare.
1780* BigCreepyCrawlies: Caprice Whimcanter, a dragonfly hybrid.
1781* CircusOfFear: The dream/monster origin of Merry Trotabout, a carousel centaur.
1782* DemBones: Aery Evenfall is a skeleton hybrid, and Merry also has skeletal wings.
1783* DreamWeaver: They can influence the dreams of their parent monsters, though not always positively.
1784* FieryRedhead: Flara Blaze, quite literally.
1785* GirlishPigtails: Skyra, Olympia, Merry, and Meadoe have them.
1786* HornedHumanoid: Several of them have different horns.
1787* HybridMonster: All are centaurs created from various dreams, and all are influenced by the monster background of the dreamer..
1788* TheMarvelousDeer: Fawntine Fallowheart.
1789* OneGenderRace: Only females are known; and it's in the name.
1790* OurGargoylesRock: Frets Quartzmane's background, which also gives her her rocker attitude by way of pun.
1791* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Skyra Bouncegait is a ghost Fright-Mare.
1792* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Olympia Wingfield is a rather sporty one.
1793* PlayingWithFire: Flara Blaze, spawn of a phoenix or a fire elemental, depending on the source.
1794* SpellMyNameWithAnS: It's "Penepole", not "Penelope". It's her pet peeve that people get it wrong.
1795* SteamPunk: Penepole Steamtail.
1796[[/folder]]
1797
1798[[folder:Winged Critters]]
1799A follow-up to the Fright-Mares as far as size is concerned. The critters are a bee, a dragonfly, and a firefly.
1800----
1801* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Yellow skin for Beetrice, turquoise skin for Wingrid, and pink skin for Lumina.
1802* BeeAfraid: If not Beetrice's personality, it's her inspiration.
1803* BigCreepyCrawlies: All three pixies are insectoid fairies with exoskeleton plating, wings, and antennae, Wingrid has two pairs of arms, and Lumina and Beetrice have a bulb and bee abdomen, respectively.
1804* FacialMarkings: Beetrice has a heart much like Draculaura's.
1805* HartmanHips: All three, to emulate the body plan of an insect.
1806* MultiarmedMultitasking: Wingrid has four arms instead of two.
1807* PunnyName: On "bee" and "Beatrice" for Beetrice, on "wing" and "Ingrid" for Wingrid, and "Lumina" is derived from the Latin word for "light".
1808* RuleOfThree: A trio.
1809* WingedHumanoid: All three have different wings, fitting for insect fairies.
1810[[/folder]]
1811
1812!Customization Dolls
1813[[folder:Create-A-Monster]]
1814A line of dolls with interchangeable parts allowing the owner to customize the dolls and create their own monster. Originally, parts for only one complete monster were included in each two-character pack, but later waves included the parts for two full dolls...but only one pair of shoes. Single-monster add-on packs were also sold with all of the parts but the body and upper limbs, as they were meant to be placed on the bodies from the starter packs. Later doll release included the Design Lab, which included blank dolls with a tattoo system for the faces and detail, Color Me Creepy, dolls with color-changing bodies based on temperature offering design potential from hot and cold pens, and the Monster Maker, a doll-printing machine- all options for owners to be even more hands-on with the dolls' designs. Spinoffs of the line include Inner Monster, the Beast Freaky Friends, and the Anti-Styling Head.
1815
1816The line's most notable contribution to the brand was the development of a plastic hip joint system, which the disassembly of these dolls necessitated. Previously, MH dolls had elastic-strung hips which were prone to weakening over time and getting caught in the dolls' clothing. After the CAM line created a successful plastic alternative, the joint was adapted for use in all legged MH dolls afterward.
1817----
1818* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Examples include the glittery translucent pink of the Blob Girl, and the bright yellow fading into black of the Bee Girl.
1819* AnIcePerson: The Ice Girl, likely an elemental like Heath.
1820* BadassFingersnap: The Witch Girl has her right hand molded in this position, as if casting a spell.
1821* BigCreepyCrawlies: The [[BeeAfraid Bee Girl]].
1822* BlobMonster: While not in shape, the Blob Girl definitely counts.
1823* TheCameo: Some of these monsters make appearances as background characters in the webisodes.
1824* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Most of the pieces from the Monster Maker, to emphasize the blank-slate aspect of the dolls and to avoid detracting from the owner's designs.
1825* DemBones: The Skeleton Girl, although only her limbs are included.
1826* ExtraEyes: The Three-Eyed Girl pack.
1827* FeatheredFiend: The [[HarpingOnAboutHarpies Harpy]] pack.
1828* GiantWoman: While they're not canon, the Beast Freaky Friends would count, being 28 inches each.
1829* GorgeousGorgon: The Gorgon Girl, with a plated face in contrast to to Deuce and Viperine.
1830* HoldYourHippogriffs: One of the only aversions of MH's typical lingo- here, the female characters are referred to as "girls", not "ghouls".
1831* LEGOBodyParts: Designed to mix and match yet the base packs still form coherent characters.
1832* LosingYourHead: The Anti-Styling Heads are presented as disembodied heads in lab-specimen bell jars.
1833* MythologyGag:
1834** The blob girl has a [[{{Retraux}} retro]] 50s-[[TheFifties inspired]] look because her [[Film/TheBlob1958 parent’s movie]] was from that decade.
1835*** Also, she's sold in a two-pack with the Ice Girl. [[{{Irony}} Ice was the key to defeating the Blob]].
1836** The Gorgon and Mummy Girls seem to be sold in the same pack for the same reason Deuce and Cleo are a couple: Snakes were important to Egypt and are the most famous feature of a gorgon's physiology.
1837** The Witch and Cat girls are sold in the same pack, since [[AllWitchesHaveCats cats are witches' familiars]].
1838* NonMammalianHair: The Blob Girl's hair is made of the same substance as the rest of her, translating to a molded plastic wig, and most of the other non-mammals have humanlike hair.
1839* OurGargoylesRock: One of the males.
1840* SirensAreMermaids: The Siren pack, since a bird siren would be too similar to the Harpy pack.
1841* WickedWitch: One in a two-pack set.
1842[[/folder]]
1843
1844[[folder:Inner Monster]]
1845A line of customizable dolls based on emotions. Each doll has accessories to create at least two different emotional looks (The deluxe pack has three) and translucent body shells that can be removed to allow you to place emotion charms on the skeleton. Each of the three smaller dolls has an expansion pack, providing an additional outfit, faceplate, and a molded wig to supplement one of their emotions.
1846----
1847* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The emotional personas of the dolls: Shockingly Shy and Scared Silly, Spooky Sweet and Frightfully Fierce, Hauntingly Happy, Eek Excited, and Shivering Sad, and lastly, Fearfully Feisty and...[[OddNameOut Fangtastic Love]].
1848* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Feisty/Love is light pink, Shy/Silly is gradient orange, Sweet/Fierce is light minty blue, and Happy/Excited/Sad is very pale purple. All of them have torso plates that are a translucent version of their main color, and Happy/Excited/Sad also has a solid torso option. In addition to this, their brains and skeletons are all different colors, with green and orange brains for two, and lime, purple, blue, and mint skeletons among them.
1849* {{Animesque}}: The line leans toward this art style, with the box artwork being much more detailed and elaborate and the dolls themselves having larger eyes and more over-the-top and animated looks for their different moods.
1850* AnthropomorphicFood: Spooky Sweet's mood pack turns her into a candy monster, with ice-cream hair, frosting and sprinkle makeup, and a candy outfit.
1851* BlowingARaspberry: Scared Silly's faceplate includes this.
1852* BodyHorror: Each doll has an exposed brain and a translucent torso. Fangtastic Love's spider accessory takes the cake, looking vaguely parasitic and skeletal, yet disturbingly organic.
1853* TheCameo: They serve as the avatars in the in-universe Inner Monster app, which helps the students get in touch with their feelings.
1854* ChromaticArrangement: Some of them are based on the typical color associations for their moods, like pink for love, yellow for happy, and blue for sad.
1855* DominoMask: The faceplates for Spooky Sweet, Frightfully Fierce, Hauntingly Happy, and Shivering Sad have designs to this effect.
1856* DraconicHumanoid: Spooky Sweet's base look.
1857* ExoticEyeDesigns: Each doll has three eye options with different designs.
1858** Feisty/Love has blue cat eyes, pink and blue heart eyes, and flame eyes.
1859** Shy/Silly has crossed green and yellow swirl eyes, side-glancing purple eyes, and orange cat eyes.
1860** Sweet/Fierce has bright blue eyes designed to look like a starburst/glittering effect, feather eyes, and heart eyes.
1861** Sad/Happy/Excited has normal blue eyes, pink eyes with pink sclerae, and pink eyes with yellow sparkle designs.
1862* EyesNeverLie: All of the dolls have three eye options to reflect their mood.
1863* FacialMarkings: Flames for Fearfully Feisty, garish hearts for Fangtastic Love, a flower for Shockingly Shy, a pattern of scales over stripes for Frightfully Fierce, a starburst pattern for Eek Excited, and a glowing yellow band for Hauntingly Happy.
1864* FogFeet: Eek Excited looks like a genie made out of a tornado.
1865* HellishPupils: Feisty/Love has these for her [[FireballEyeballs flaming eyes]] ''and'' her "normal" blue eyes, and Shy/Silly has a variation, too.
1866* HotWings: Fearfully Feisty's prominent accessory.
1867* HumanoidAbomination: They can look relatively normal, but definitely qualify due to their exposed brains, translucent bodies filled with organ-like ''emotions'', bizarre eye options, and unnatural back accessories, all of which change according to their mood.
1868* LiteralMinded: The Spooky Sweet and Scared Silly mood packs, which take "sweet" and silly" out of their original contexts and give each mood a literal interpretation of the words.
1869* MonsterClown: Scared Silly's mood pack turns her into this, with circus makeup, a ruffle-collared harlequin dress, and shoes decorated with gag flowers.
1870* NonMammalianHair: Spooky Sweet's mood pack has ice-cream hair, Fearfully Feisty's has [[FlamingHair flames]], and Eek Excited's is made of a twister.
1871* OcularGushers: Shivering Sad has these.
1872* OrangeBlueContrast: Fearfully Feisty plays on this, with either of her designated outfits being primarily blue while all of her accessories are bright orange flames.
1873* PeacockGirl: Frightfully Fierce's getup.
1874* PersonalityPowers[=/=]PsychoactivePowers: Assuming each is supposed to be just one character, the Inner Monsters have wildly different appearances depending on the mood they're experiencing, and most of them seem to imply different abilities.
1875* PlantPerson: Shockingly Shy.
1876* PlayingWithFire: Fearfully Feisty.
1877* PrettyButterflies: Hauntingly Happy has bright yellow butterfly wings.
1878* {{Retraux}}: Sweet/Fierce has this look, with wavy flipped hair, simple shoes, and a polka-dot candy-button dress.
1879* ShyBlueHairedGirl: Shy/Silly has purple hair.
1880* SymbolMotifClothing: Hearts and flames for Feisty/Love, plants and tentacles for Shy/Silly, candy patterns, feathers, and scales for Sweet/Fierce. All of them have some generic spooky designs and images of their emotion charms on their outfits as well.
1881* VisualPun: One of Spooky Sweet's emotion charms is a tooth adorned with a candy-shaped bow, i.e., a literal ''sweet tooth''. And Feisty/Love has a literal ghost pepper.
