[Background]
(Since there is no link and the webisodes are just day-to-day shows, I’ll go over the important stuff.)
Draculaura is the daughter of Dracula. While other vampires may attend private “Vampires Only” academies, Draculaura has attended mixed-monster schools all her vampire life. She even befriended a female werewolf named Clawdeen as well as Clawdeen’s pack. The vampiress even knew Clawdeen’s pack-siblings when they were all puppies. Because she is older than them, she actually watched them grow up since she grows up much slower than others. Draculaura now attends Monster High. She is friends with Clawdeen and acquaintances with Cleo and Ghoulia. Draculaura’s days were filled with school, magazines, and movies.
Then one day, Frankie Stein came to school. Frankie was only sixteen days old but Frankie, Clawdeen, and Draculaura instantly bonded. Frankie convinced the girls to join the fear-leading team. While Cleo tried to drill them into an amazing team, Draculaura was trying to avoid going with a jerk to the school dance. She was rescued by Clawd, Clawdeen’s older brother. Draculaura never revealed to either Clawdeen or Clawd that she had a crush on the older werewolf. However, at the dance her feelings were revealed and Clawd and Draculaura started dating (even though she watched him grow up). Clawdeen had been a little worried about Draculaura liking Clawd, but she came to accept her best friend’s feelings and gave her blessing about the two of them dating.
As school life continued, Draculaura and the fear-squad went to the fear-leading training camp and won the spirit staff. They went on to the Monster Mashionals where they won the Mashionals and brought home the trophy. Draculaura became even closer with Cleo and Ghoulia although her best friends remained Frankie and Clawdeen.
Because of the success of Monster High and its integration of all monsters and even normies (humans), the headless-mistress decided to bring the Private Vampire Academy and the Private Werewolf School to Monster High. The fear-leading squad became the welcoming committee for the process. The vampires instantly wanted Draculaura to join them and stay with her own kind rather than be friends with Frankie, Clawdeen, Cleo, Abby, and Ghoulia. However, after the girls held a dance, things were starting to go well between the vampire/werewolf school monstergration.
That was until school administrator Van Helscream came and tried to mess everything up. He kidnapped Draculaura and Clawdeen’s little sister to try and pit the werewolves and the vampires against one another but thankfully Frankie and the other girls helped save them and revealed Helscream’s plot. He was turned into stone along with his cohort, Miss Crabgrass and the statue was put in the catacombs.
After the plot was revealed and Draculaura was safely returned to her friends and the school. The monstergration continued without a hitch! Monster High continues to be a place of unity, equality, and acceptance.
[Personality]
At first glance, Draculaura appears as a bit of a vain, hyper, and ditzy gossip-lover who loves shopping. However, this is far from the truth (except the shopping part... and the hyper... and the gossip-lover). Draculaura, despite being 1600 years old, actually acts like your normal teenage monster. She’s very sweet and can be best described as a ghouly-ghoul (that’s girly-girl in normy speak). Dark, menacing, and cruel are words that are the pure antonyms of this little vampiress. Rather than dark, her clothes are splashed with her favorite color, hot bright pink. She sparkles and glitters and is always fashionable. Even her skin is her favorite color. And rather than menacing, she hasn’t a wicked bone in her body. She faints or is ready to wretch at the mere mention of blood, never mind the sight of it. Lastly, rather than cruel, Draculaura just likes to spend the day hanging out with her friends and doing the best she can to help them whenever they may need it. Despite not having a pulse, Draculaura is all heart, she even has a little pink-heart birthmark on her cheek. She is up-beat and usually quite positive and outgoing. The little vampiress can easily be described as bubbly and energetic but her biggest attribute is how much she loves and cares for her friends and family. Her friends and loved ones mean everything to her. She’ll do everything that she can (although it will be nonviolent) to help them and ensure their happiness and if that means doing something that may be a-tad scary, so be it. However, Draculaura will suck it up and do her best.
Draculaura, even though she is nonviolent is no push-over. In fact, she can stand up for herself quite well and even though she will never hurt someone, she isn’t against using different tactics to get away. She can be very sneaky if she needs or wants to be but her sneakiness is usually towards outwitting jerks who are being mean to her and her friends. Draculaura can sometimes be pushy but only when it concerns the welfare of her friends and when they are doing things that she knows will hurt them either emotionally or physically. Or if they are having a fashion or teenage emergency. She will forcibly drag someone to a maul (mall) or movie theater if that’s the case.
Fashion, in fact, is very important to Draculaura. She must look her best and always present herself as well groomed... this gets a little difficult when you can’t see yourself in a mirror, but after 1600 years Draculaura has learned how to handle it... Even if being a vampire sometimes really bites. The little vampriess while assured in her looks, and she never gets vain or cocky about her appearance... after all she hasn’t seen it except in special monster cameras that can take vampire photos! While Draculaura does care about her appearance and even knows she’s quite pretty, she does actually have a bit of a fear that she doesn’t look at her best and is a little self-conscious about her appearance around boys. However, ever since dating Clawd, her werewolf boyfriend, she has gained confidence about how she looks.
As Draculaura is all heart, she is also very sensitive about what her friends or loved ones do. She may get angry but in reality, she hates fighting with her friends. If they do something mean she usually ends up in tears rather than be angry with them and she will never seek revenge or retribution for any slight done against her. Although, in the monster world what happens everyday between monsters could be considered horrific and cruel, but it’s simply the way of things for her and the other monsters. Draculaura, like her friends, is very open and accepting of every sort of monster and even normal humans. In her world, there was (and still is) a long standing antagonism between werewolves and vampires, but Draculaura is not only best friends with a werewolf, she’s dating one. To the outside monster world, that is extremely strange and some even feel it’s wrong. Draculaura ignores all this to be with her best friends and boyfriend. Draculaura is accepting of humans as well and would never harm one or ever discriminate against one. She doesn’t think any one monster or human is better than another, simply different.
Draculaura really is a teenage high-school ghoul. She worries about how she looks, she fawns over pop-idols and movie stars (with Justin Biter being one of her favorite singers and Twihard one of her favorite movies). She loves fashion and she is a bit of a gossip lover. She day-dreams about her crushes and love things like dances and keeps a die-ry. Draculaura’s favorite things are hanging out with friends and shopping. She’s part of the fear-leading team, honor roll, and the literature magazine. She follows the advice in magazines and her horror-scope. She has worries about classes and grades and being removed from the Monster High Honor Roll. Despite being the daughter of Dracula, she acts like a normal teenager. Draculaura is a sweet young vampiress who enjoys life to the fullest! Even if she doesn’t have a pulse.

What is more important to you: having friends or living on your own? Why?
Having friends, duh. Life would be super boring vithout my best ghouls!
The hottest boy/girl in class/workplace just confessed their love to you. How do you respond?
Whenever Clawd talks I’m put into a dream~ He’s soooo bitable... Oh um... Sorry, what was the question?
There is a cake in the rain. What do you do?
Vhat a waste! But you can’t save the cake.
Would you consider yourself a well traveled person? If so, what are some of your favorite places? If not, would you want to travel or is there some place you want to go?
Oh def.! Because ov how old I am, I’ve been everywhere... Twice. It’s why Ge-ogre-phry is soooo snoozy! Daddy took me everywhere already. One of my favorite places was London and Paris. There was some aaaaaamazing sights there! And it wasn’t very sunny when ve went to London.
Do you prefer the city or living out in the country? Why?
The city, so I can be around my best friends, Clawd, and a maul.

SQUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEE! A SAAAAALE? WHERE!
What disgusts you the most?
B-Blood makes me faint...
[Third Person]
It was a very good thing that Draculaura was brought to... wherever this place was, with her parasol. Because the sun was beating down on her hard and her poor pink skin... she could already feel it sizzling! Her poor poor beautiful skin. She was going to have to ask someone if she was burnt since she wouldn’t be able to see it in a mirror. But something was more important than her skin and how she looked (only barely though). That was where on Earth was she! This totally wasn’t Monster High or the castle. Oh no! Where were the ghouls? Where was Clawd? She looked all over her person and found her iCoffin phone unaware that it was actually the dreamberry turned into her usual phone.
"Frankie? Clawdeen? Cleo? Ghoulia? Hello? Hellooo. Vhere are you ghouls? I’m so totally lost! I don’t even know how I got here and you know I usually have such a great sense of direction." And fashion, but she thought better than to add that to her call. "I’ve never even seen this kind of village in years! And I know for a fact daddy didn’t bring me here..." Was this a curse? She was sure Cleo hadn’t been playing with any of her amulets or talismans! And it certainly wasn’t Halloween or Friday the 13th. She sighed. "Oh this totally bites." Her fangs glinted as she looked around. "Call me back as soon as you can! I’m really starting to vonder how I even got here." She hung up her iCoffin.
"Okay Draculaura. First things first, don’t panic. Stay calm... The ghouls will call you back and tell you where you are... And how you got here. Did I fall asleep on a school trip? No... No I know I vould have remember that." She looked around and had to figure out where she could get some shade. It looked like some old village that used to be around the castle back when she was much younger. Hopefully the villagers didn’t have the old views. She couldn’t stand the idea of going through that again... especially without daddy around to help her. She didn’t have to deal with the villagers when she was a little vampiress.
But it was so cold! She wondered if maybe she was in the alps? How did she get here! She gave a light stomp of her stiletto. Well, at least she was fashionable. If she could find a maul she could at least calm down. OH NO! WHAT IF THERE WASN’T A MAUL IN THIS VILLAGE?
"Deeeep breaths Draculaura.... Deeeep breaths." She pressed a hand to her unbeating heart. "There looks like a good shady spot until you get a scream from the ghouls..." She heard a soft squeak and turned to see her bat, Count Fabulous, flapping next to her. "Oh Count! I'm so glad to see you! Come on cutie, let's go get in the shade."
