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

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

er 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.

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.

She turned into a freshwater monster momentarily from Howleen's wish in '' 13 Wishes''.

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

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.

, Jackson is related to Heath Burns (they are cousins) but through which parent hasn't been clearly explained.

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.
