'' Monster High'', a fashion doll and media franchise created by Garrett Sander and released by American toy company Mattel on 11 June 2010, features a variety of fictional characters, many of whom are students at the titular high school. The female characters are classified as ''Ghouls'' and the male characters are classified as ''Mansters''. The characters are generally the sons and daughters, or related to monsters that have been popularized in fiction. The now-defunct official website identified six of the characters as ''Original Ghouls''. In addition to the listed ''Ghouls'' and ''Mansters'', there are other characters who have been introduced in the franchise's related media including the web/video and book series. In 2016, Natali Germanotta, sister of singer Lady Gaga, designed Zomby Gaga for the franchise as a partnership with the Born This Way Foundation.

Main characters

Six of the Monster High characters have been classified as ''Original Ghouls'' according to the official website.

Frankie Stein

Frankie Stein (voiced by Kate Higgins from 2010 to 2015 and Cassandra Lee Morris thereafter, iris menas in the 2022 TV series, portrayed by Ceci Balagot in the live-action film) is the daughter of Frankenstein's monster and his bride. She was born in Bavaria, Germany and the story opens with her starting school at Monster High upon turning 15 days old, making her the youngest student there. Frankie is known for her generosity, optimism, and kindness, believing strongly that everyone's flaws make them unique; but also for her naivety and innocence.

Being a Frankenstein's monster herself, Frankie has light green skin and her limbs are stitched together, making them capable of functioning independently even after being detached. While this is useful, her limbs can fly off suddenly when she is tense, scared or angry as well. To function, she is powered by electricity and has to be recharged every night via two bolts at her neck, allowing her to manipulate electricity in self-defense or to power electronics in a pinch.

One of Frankie's most distinguishing characteristics is her heterochromia: her right eye is blue, whilst her left eye is green. She also has white hair with black lightning-bolt-like streaks and her fringe is pulled back and clipped. On school days she typically wears a school uniform coupled with a tie, gingham pattern and monochrome platforms. Her love interest is Neighthan Rot.

In the 2022 reboot, Frankie is the child of mad scientists Dr. and Dr. Stein, created using "the best and brightest minds in monster history". Unlike previous iterations, Frankie is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. Frankie also has a prosthetic left leg and several customizable prosthetics that they use in the TV series.

Draculaura

Draculaura (voiced by Debi Derryberry in most projects, Courtney Lin in the 2022 TV series, portrayed by Naya Damasen in the live-action film) is the Romanian daughter of Dracula. Despite being a vampire, she is a vegan who consumes fruits, vegetables and "a lot of iron supplements" instead of blood, fainting at the mere sight or mention of it. Mattel vice-president of design, Kiyomi Haverly, commented on her, saying, "She's a vegan. She's turned off by meat. Girls could really relate to that because that's part of what they're thinking of these days." Initially 1,599 years old, but turns 1,600 in the webisode "Party Planners" and in the 2012 film special, ''Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love'', with Mattel releasing a doll line based around her birthday. In ''Frights, Camera, Action'', Draculaura unlocks her vampire powers and earns the ability to transform into a bat.

Cheerful, bubbly and excitable, Draculaura is one of the friendliest and most popular ghouls in Monster High. She currently dates Clawd, Clawdeen's older brother, and has a pet bat named Count Fabulous. She primarily dresses in pink that complements her pink skin and black pink-streaked hair. On school days, she secures her hair into pigtails and wears a pink zipper top with a ruffled white collar and fishnet fabric sleeves, paired with a white miniskirt and girly pink boots. Due to her birthday being on Valentine's Day, she also has a pink heart-shaped tattoo at the corner of her left eye, and is quite the romantic.

In the first franchise reboot film special; ''Welcome to Monster High'', Draculaura originally lived with her father on a mansion on a hill overlooking Normie Town. Wanting to have friends like her, she talked her father into opening Monster High.

The 2022 reboot portrays Draculaura with Taiwanese heritage (Filipino in the movie) rather than Romanian, with confirmation that it'll be explored in-depth in the TV series. In the reboot, Draculaura faces pressure to be an excellent student like her father and relatives. She also deals with her secret passion for witchcraft, a practice strictly forbidden in monster world and considered a "filthy human habit".

Clawdeen Wolf

Clawdeen Wolf (voiced by Salli Saffioti in most projects, Gabrielle Neveah Green in the 2022 TV series, portrayed by Miia Harris in the live-action film) is the Brooklyn- accented 15-year-old daughter of a werewolf. She is portrayed as a brown-skinned werewolf with chocolate brown curly hair and pierced ears. Two of her siblings Clawd and Howleen study alongside her at Monster High, and her older sister Clawdia has graduated and become a working adult.

In school, Clawdeen is known for her impeccable sense of fashion, and aspires to become a fashion designer in Scaris. She primarily dresses in purples and yellows; on school days, she wears a leopard-print top, a leather jacket and a purple miniskirt paired with matching stockings and grey platform boots.

Being a werewolf, she possesses immense strength and speed especially during the full moon, but this also makes her prone to bad moods and fiery tempers. Before the ghoul squad was formed, she was Draculaura's best friend and highly protective of her. She also has a purple pet kitten named Crescent.

In the 2022 reboot, Clawdeen is the Afro-Latina daughter of a werewolf mother and a human father. Before coming to Monster High, she spent her life hiding in the human world and resolved to hide her human side at school after discovering that she turns completely human when nervous or scared. In the TV series, Clawdeen stumbled upon Monster High by accident. Her werewolf form emerged when an Onikuma (mistaken by a real bear by the others at the time) got into Monster High. After both of them were accepted, Headless Headmistress Bloodgood did a DNA test and found that Clawdeen is 50% werewolf. With guidance from her necklace, Clawdeen found a way to change at will at the time when amateur monster hunters nearly stumbled upon Cleo. In "Paw-zzle Pieces", Clawdeen meets her long-lost brother Clawd.

Cleo de Nile

Cleo de Nile (voiced by Salli Saffioti in most projects, Kausar Mohammed in the 2022 TV series, portrayed by Jy Prishkulnik in the live-action film) is the second daughter of an Egyptian mummy named Ramses de Nile. She is Monster High's "queen bee" – the most popular girl in school – as well as the student council president and captain of the Fearleading Squad. Her boyfriend is the popular Deuce Gorgon and they share a close relationship.

Being a mummy who was preserved for many years, her appearance is that of a 16-year-old girl, but she is actually over 3,000 years old. While her profile lists her as being 3,357 years old, previous iterations, as well as the videos, had shown her true age to be 5,842 years old. Cleo is portrayed as an auburn-skinned girl with black hair with gold highlights. Her top and bottoms are the residues of her Egyptian mummy bandages, which she adds style to with glittery blue stripes and bandage ribbons.

Being a member of Egyptian royalty, Cleo is very proud of her heritage, which is displayed in the form of her blue rhinestone tiara and large gold earrings. As a result, she can be somewhat of a diva, priding herself greatly on her popularity, fashion sense, and the many amulets that her family pyramid houses. However, she has great leadership skills and often looks out for her friends. Cleo's catchphrase is: "Oh my Ra!" and her screams can shatter glass.

In the 2022 reboot, Cleo maintains her position as the school's queen bee. Her and Deuce are no longer romantically involved, with the movie specifying that her egocentric behavior led to Deuce breaking up with her. Cleo initially antagonizes Frankie and Clawdeen, but has a change of heart by the film's end.

Ghoulia Yelps

Ghoulia Yelps (vocal effects by Audu Paden in most projects, voiced by Felicia Day in the 2022 TV series, portrayed by Lilah Fitzgerald in the live-action film) is the bespectacled daughter of a zombie couple from Canada. She is Cleo's personal assistant and best friend. The smartest ghoul at Monster High, her personality is that of a shy and bookish girl with a sense of mischief. Due to being a zombie, she can only speak in moans and groans – a physical limitation that all zombies have. She is also the shortest girl at Monster High, but this may be due to the fact that she can never stand up straight.

Ghoulia has a romantic interest in Slo-Moe, a tall male zombie on the chess team. In her free time, she is a hardcore fan of an in-universe comic book series titled "Dead Fast", and enjoys dodgeball. Her favorite color is red and she has a pet baby blue owl named Sir Hoots-a-Lot.

In the 2022 reboot, she no longer limps and can speak.

Although introduced as one of the six ''Original Ghouls'', she was no longer listed among them following the 2016 film special, ''Welcome to Monster High''.

Lagoona Blue

Lagoona Blue (voiced by Laura Bailey until 2015, Larissa Gallagher thereafter until 2018, Valeria Rodriquez in the 2022 TV series, Lina Lecompte in the live-action film) is the daughter of the gill-man Wade Blue and a sea nymph. She is portrayed as a blue-skinned monster with golden curls with blue highlights. On school days, she wears a pink halter top, a blue jacket with scale patterns and short pants and heels reminiscent of swimming gear. Like Frankie, Lagoona is known for her kindness, warmth and friendliness that offers the ghouls much reassurance in tense moments.

Due to her childhood in the Great Scarrier Reef and her heritage, she is a skilled swimmer on the Monster High swim team. Despite sharing mutual feelings with another monster, Gillington "Gil" Webber, his parents disapprove of their relationship due to her sea-monster heritage. She turned into a freshwater monster momentarily from Howleen's wish in ''13 Wishes''.

In the 2022 reboot, Lagoona is a pink-skinned Honduran sea monster described as having grown up in a sunken Castillo with little knowledge of the outside world.

Graeme Ambrose, of Loch Ness Bid organization praised the concept: "The monster is shrouded in mystery and perhaps slightly scary in a nice way for children and it is therefore of little surprise that Mattel have chosen to introduce this character, daughter of the Loch Ness Monster. ...

He dated Cleo prior to Frankie attending Monster High in the dolls' diaries when he was struck by one of C.A. Cupid's arrows. Eventually, the magic wore off and he broke up with Cleo who began dating Deuce the next day. Clawd is the Big Monster on Campus and plays on the casketball team with Deuce. He owns a pet gargoyle bulldog named Rockseena. He is also overprotective of his sisters Clawdeen and Howleen according to "Fright On!".

Deuce inherited his mother's ability to turn people into stone, though he has been able to control the effect so that it lasts for only about twenty-four hours. His petrifying stare does not work on gargoyles which he learns by bumping into Rochelle Goyle. He takes off his sunglasses only when he talks to her. In "Hiss-teria", he reveals that he accidentally petrified his first pet (a dragon named Smokey) when he was a young boy and the effect has lingered to the present day. Deuce is dating Cleo, who seems to always find new ways for him to spend all his money on her. Despite that, Deuce genuinely loves Cleo and wrote a song to express his feelings for her. His pet is a two-tailed rat which he named Perseus after Perseus who Medusa clashed with in her past. Understandably, Medusa is not amused. His favorite color is neon green, which neon green is the color of his hair and Neon Green eyes. His favorite food is "Greek Fusion" (his own creation). Deuce's first name is clearly, obviously named after part of Medusa's name by Sander, the "dus" part, such as "Meh-DEUCE-uh".

In the 2022 reboot he now has 2 moms with Medusa and Lyra. Unlike his previous incarnations, this version of Deuce broke up his relationship with Cleo de Nile due to her egocentric behavior. In addition, he is Clawdeen Wolf's love interest and wears a hat to hid the snakes on his head.

Finnegan Wake

Finnegan Wake is a merman who is the son of a mermaid. He is shown to be wheelchair bound on land which leads the ghouls to underestimate his abilities. Finnegan is shown to be a daredevil and thrill seeker who doesn't let his disability get in the way of what he wants to do. He was originally referred to as Rider in the webisode, which may be a nickname. He was originally called "Ryder" or "Rider".

He was brought back for the 2022 reboot and is voiced by Cole Massie in the animated series.

He was first introduced in the webisode "Blue Lagoona" and has made recurring appearances since. Gil is one of the top members on the swim team alongside Lagoona. When on land, Gil has to wear a water-filled helmet over his head in order to breathe, though "Hatch Me if You Can" and the Gloom Beach arc shows that he can be on land for a short period of time without it. Gil is from freshwater, which is why it is hard for him and Lagoona (who can survive in saltwater) to be together.

Heath Burns (voiced by Yuri Lowenthal in the first volume of the web series, Cam Clarke from the 2nd volume onwards, Alexander Polinsky in the 2022 TV series, portrayed by Justin Derickson in the live-action film) is the teenage son of two Fire Elementals. In the Polish- dubbed web series, his name is Ross Burla and in the French-dudded he is named Thomas Cramé. Heath was first seen as a background character in the episode "Substitute Creature". In the episode, "The Hot Boy", he was shown to be Draculaura's short-lived crush. In "Fear Pressure", he mentions that Jackson is his human cousin, a possible reference to when many fans confused Heath Burns for Holt Hyde. Heath's first mention in the dolls' continuity is in Abbey's diary where he is constantly hitting on her with corny one-liners. Heath primarily serves as the comedy relief, being the butt of many physical jokes and the class clown. He and Abbey are now dating. He thinks she's "hot" and she likes that he "makes her laugh". He often calls Abbey "baby" which she corrects him over constantly, telling him her name is Abbey not Baby. In the first novel, Heath appears to be a normie (human). In Book 2, "The Ghoul Next Door", this Heath is revealed to be a RAD (monster) when he sneezes fire. He explains that his ability appeared when he turned fifteen. Starting out as gassy outbursts, Heath's ability is still dangerous. Heath has yellow skin, red eyes and orange hair that bursts into flame when he's excited.

He loves drama, particularly special effects which are his forte. His girlfriend is Scarah Screams (who is also his BFF) as they got together in the webisode "Scarah-Voyant" thanks to Frankie. Catty Noir is also Invisi Billy's BFF. Invisi Billy first appeared as an April Fool's joke on Facebook, picturing an empty box with the blurb "How do you know I'm not in the box?" Since then, his character and design have been refined and changed. His doll has very pale blue/grey skin that fades to transparent blue are his feet. He has dark blue hair and grey eyes.

Jackson Jekyll / Holt Hyde

Jackson Jekyll (voiced by Cindy Robinson) is a normie boy at Monster High, and enjoys sports (particularly casketball) and video games. Jackson is the son of "Dr. Jekyll", though it's unclear if this is his father, though in the books, Dr. Jekyll is his mother, Sydney Jekyll. His diary implies the original Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde were his grandfather and his mother seems to possess the ability to shift. In the web series, Jackson is related to Heath Burns (they are cousins) but through which parent hasn't been clearly explained. Jackson is depicted as a major nerd in the webisodes and specials, though he seems to possess a wicked sense of humor ("Oh I fit in... my locker, trash cans... you'd be surprised what those guys fit me into"). He is first mentioned in Draculaura's diary where he unsettles her father by telling him he needs to "drive a stake into something". Jackson has black hair with blond or yellow streaks. His eyes are blue. He wears glasses, has one eyebrow pierced and has a Yin Yang symbol tattooed between his shoulder-blades.

Holt Hyde (also voiced by Cindy Robinson) is the alter-ego version of Jackson Jekyll and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hyde, who Jackson turns into when loud music plays (when he sweats in the Lisi Harrison novels). Originally in the diaries, it was the sun setting that triggered Jackson's transformation into his alter ego. His diary explains that the trigger is likely to change several times as he ages before finally settling. Holt on the other hand seems to be more fire elemental than normie. His skin is bright blue, his eyes are red and he has fiery-colored hair. He's depicted in the webisodes and specials as rather excitable and loud. He loves to DJ and is friends with Operetta. They tried to date once, but Holt's hot temper spoiled things. In the prom website event called "A Night in Scare-adise" on Monsterhigh.com he and Operetta attended prom together. Operetta was quoted as saying he "rocks my l'il ol' face off." Holt is often shown as a DJ at school dance events. He annotated Jackson's diary with sarcastic remarks. Like Jackson, Holt has a Yin Yang tattoo on his back and a pierced eyebrow. (His Swim Class doll is missing this detail however). In the books, his name is DJ Hyde.

Jackson and Holt share a pet Chameleon named Crossfade.

Manny initially debuted as a school bully in Monster High, usually picking up Jackson Jekyll, as shown in "Miss Infearmation". He also had a dislike for zombies, due to them being slow. In "Manny Taur's SDCCI diary", it is revealed Manny himself was bullied in middle school. After an encounter with Abbey, he changed his ways, although he stopped bullying people, he can be still gruff to others. His personality helped him get into a relationship with Iris Clops.

In the 2022 reboot, Manny is a calm and gentle monster, he loves to read and is great at solving puzzles. He and Draculaura are rivals in competition of top student.

He has long black hair with blue, yellow, and red highlights in a ponytail, and he wears a colorful shirt and pants whose color splash patterns seem remincient of anatomical models. Neighthan is somewhat clumsy, but he is a social monster who loves hanging out with his beast friends. He doesn't like monsters judging other monsters based on their appearances. He has the ability to heal thanks to his unicorn horn. He makes his first webisode appearance in "Graveyard Grates". He looks a little less like a unicorn because he only has a tail, a horn, and rainbow hair. From his zombie side, he has grey zombie-skin, and a marking on the left side of his face around his eye. Neighthan has human legs and feet instead of horse-like legs and hooves. He has a blue unicorn-horn, and wears a ponytail with a strand of hair coming down the left side of his face.
