Dracula

Dracula is the infamous vampire count, and the father of Draculaura. He is a prominent character in much of Monster High's canon, in particular the Monster High book series and Ghoulfriends book series, and is mentioned in Draculaura's diaries, though he has yet to make a full appearance in the webisodes or movies.

Personality
Unlike his portrayal in movies and books, Dracula is far from the evil being most people perceive him as. While he is incredibly stern and intimidating, he is also a great believer in monster equality, and is often seen as being close acquaintances with the other monster families. He does still believe in the classic vampire traditions such as drinking blood and only going out at night, which causes friction with Draculaura, who believes in exactly the opposite. But he was willing to tolerate their differences for her sake.

In the Book series, Dracula is a successful businessman who uses his wealth to provide safe homes and identities for the other monsters in Salem, and even plans to build a new school for monsters only. He is often referred to as 'Mr D' by the other monsters.

In the Ghoulfriends series, it is revealed that Dracula was once a member of ASOME, a society who believed themselves superior to other monsters. But after realizing that the group's ideals were wrong, he decided to leave and, along with other monsters, set up the Society of United Monsters to stop ASOME's plans and promote monster equality, which led to the creation of Monster High.

Physical Description
Apart from a photo of him obscured by a large cape, seen in Frights Camera Action, Dracula has yet to fully appear in any webisodes or movies. The cape suggests that he may not look too dissimilar from his classic appearances in his various movies.

In the book series, Dracula is described as having a somewhat overdone tan, and wears modern, regular clothing.

Family
Dracula is the adoptive father of Draculaura, whom he took in many centuries ago, as mentioned in Draculaura's School's Out diary. While he loves her dearly, he regularly disagrees with her regarding her choices to avoid drinking blood and be a vegan. Every year on her birthday, he attempts to talk to her and convince her to be a more traditional vampire, but she simply kisses him on the cheek to disarm him, and he decides to let it go for another year.

In the Book Series, Dracula and Draculaura's relationship is even more strained, with Dracula usually away on business for long periods and rarely talking to her, and Draculaura struggling to meet his high expectations for her. This comes to a head when Dracula plans to create a monster-only school just as the monsters have become accepted at Merston High. Eventually the two reconcile and promise to work on their relationship, with Dracula admitting that he finds if difficult to talk to her as she reminds him so much of his late wife...

Dracula also has a younger brother named Vlad, who looks after his affairs while he is away on business. Vlad is a much friendlier and social vampire than Dracula, and maintains a close, paternal relationship with Draculaura. He often annoys his brother with his attempts to make Dracula lighten up, such as suggesting he repaints his house in more vibrant colours.

Romance
In the Book Series, Dracula once fell in love with Alina, his housekeeper and Draculaura's mother, many centuries ago. Not much is known about her, other than that she died from a wasting disease, and Dracula was forced to turn Draculaura into a vampire to prevent her from succumbing to the same fate. He is mentioned as hanging out with several attractive women, but he still thinks about Alina, and sees a lot of her in Draculaura.
