Lagoona Blue

"I've already mastered surfing in platforms 'cause sometimes when the waves are primo, I don't want to waste time changing."

-Lagoona Blue in her diary

Lagoona Blue is the daughter of the sea monster. She has a pet piranha named Neptuna, and is a transfer student from "Down Under" (the sea), hence her Australian accent.

Lagoona is as laid-back as she is friendly, and is pals with almost everyone at Monster High. She has a relationship with Gil.

She is voiced by Laura Bailey.

Personality
Lagoona has a very friendly and laid-back personality. She is the captain of the swim team and enjoys anything that involves water, and her clothing style reflects her easygoing nature. She has many friends and everyone seems to like her. Lagoona is also an environmentalist; trash and pollution in the ocean anger her, and she shows sympathy to many aquatic elements, including fish, frogs and all water creatures.

Appearances
In the music video for the Monster High Fright Song, there are several character analogues who received creative interpretation by the video crew. "Lagoon Girl" is portrayed by Avril Wu.

In the webisodes and Monster High specials, Lagoona's voice is provided by Laura Bailey.

In the first MH special, New Ghoul @ School, Lagoona is the last character to make a major appearance, in which she gives Frankie advice on making friends. Her advice is initially ignored, but Frankie takes it to heart after learning a few very important lessons.

In Fright On!, Lagoona is seen helping out the Welcome Commitee before the schools merge. She later helps Frankie and Abbey by distracting Van Hellscream so save Bloodgood. She leaves before she is saved, though, to hang out with Gil.

In Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love?, Lagoona tries to convince Ghoulia that science can't solve everything, especially love in this case.

Physical Description
Lagoona has pale blue scales and her face is dotted with light purple freckles. She has webbed hands and fins that protrude from her lower arms and legs. Her hair is curly and blonde, and is streaked blue due to the chlorine from the high school pool.

Classic Monster
Lagoona is the daughter of the "Sea Monster", presumably the Gill-man from the 1954 B-movie Creature from the Black Lagoon.

In the film, a scientific expedition takes a steamship journey up the Amazon River, in search of fossilized remains that they believe provide the link between man and fish. Meanwhile, members of the research team are systematically killed by a mysterious being, eventually revealed to be the prehistoric fish creature whose skeleton they were searching for. The Gill-man was played by Ben Chapman (on land) and Ricou Browning (in the water); Dr. David Reed was played by Richard Carlson, and Kay, the lead scientist's girlfriend, was played by Julie Adams.

Two sequels, Revenge of the Creature, and The Creature Walks Among Us, were later produced.

Family
Lagoona's father "doesn't really live on land. For sure, he's got a little beach house where Lagoona Blue lives. It's got a killer dock that goes out over the water." According to her 'School's Out' diary, her mother is an ocean nymph who "still lives in the same scary sweet little grotto as she did when dad met and married her. Being a nymph means that mum can leave the water and hang out on land as long as she doesn’t travel too far from her grotto otherwise she gets really weak".

In the books, Lagoona's parents live in Australia, but she lives with her uncle (who is currently unnamed) and her aunt Coral (normie name Carol) in Salem. Lagoona moved in Salem as a foreign exchange student from "down under" as she says in New Ghoul @ School.

In Parent-Creature Conference the ghouls tell Slow-Moe that he is supposed to be posing as Lagoona's Great-Aunt Lantic; this relative may or may not really exist. In her 'Basic' diary, Lagoona mentions having a few cousins 'living up north'.

Friends
Lagoona is very easygoing, and wants everyone to be friends; as such, she is friends with everyone (but she hangs out with Cleo, Ghoulia, Frankie, Clawdeen and Draculaura the most, so they're probably like her closest friends). She is rarely seen disagreeing with anyone, except Toralei when she openly mocked the fearleading team and her.

Pet
Lagoona's pet is a piranha named Neptuna who is carried around in a fishbowl purse. She is shown to be very feisty, and enjoys nipping other monsters when they least expect it.

Romance
Gil and Lagoona started seeing each other soon after they met in Blue Lagoona and Hatch Me If You Can.

Gil's family holds a negative view on salt water monsters, which Gil kept a secret from Lagoona until Road to Monster Mashionals. Lagoona encouraged him to take a stand against his parents; he tells her he informed his parents, but in "HooDoo You Like?", Toralei Stripe arranges for an entire page in the Fearbook to be dedicated to Gil's and Lagoona's relationship, forcing Gil to reveal that he lied, and his parents didn't know they were dating.

Lagoona gave him an ultimatum: either he'd stand up for them, or he should forget about her. After a lot of doubt and self-reflection, Gil chose the honorable path in Desperate Hours and told his parents he was dating a creature from the sea that was nothing like the horrible creatures they always talked about. His parents didn't take kindly to it, but the strain went off his and Lagoona's relationship.

After the summer vacation, Gil didn't return to Monster High because his parents enrolled him in a different school to keep him away from Lagoona. He returned in Here Comes Treble, explaining in Fright On! that his parents gave up and allowed him to go back to Monster High and his salt water love. The couple probobly spent more time together in the upcoming TV special Escape from Skull Shores.

Lagoona Blue In The Monster High books
In the first book, Lagoona is known as "Blue" around Normies. She is constantly worried about her skin drying around and wears gloves to hide her webbed hands, and baggie pants for her legfins. She is seen often with Lala (Draculaura) and Clawdine(Clawdeen).

In "The Ghoul Next Door", Lagoona was one of the biggest supporters of human-monster equality. She was the first to stand up to Cleo, saying that she's been lying to her parents back home, saying that Salem was paradise, and that she wishes that it was the truth, implying that RAD's are discriminated overseas as well as in the USA. Clawdine, Lala and herself also were sopposed to go Cleo's fashion shoot but Melody Carver and her sister Candace went in their place but said they didn't want to but Cleo trusted them.

In "Where There's a Wolf, There's a Way", she appears at the RAD meeting, where she demands to know Cleo's part in the revealing of the video. She is very tense through the whole meeting, especially when her Aunt Coral starts to criticize Frankie and tells Lagoona they have to leave.

Lagoona's Student Files
The following are thoughts on Lagoona given by Headless Headmistress Bloodgood. These can be found on the boxes of the Wave 3 School's Out dolls.

Personality
Lagoona is relaxed, friendly, and compassionate. She is an excellent listener and her steady nature coupled with a gracious demeanor makes her the ghoul to go to for students who want advice from one of their peers.

Parental Participation
Mixed. Lagoona's father is a very private monster who rarely, if ever, leaves the water. Although he does volunteer to help the MH surf team he steadfastly refuses to help with any land-based activities. Our parent-headmistress conferences are always conducted from a boat.

Academic Standing
Lagoona is a steady student who turns in her work on time and participates in class. However, academics are not her first love; the water is. I do not believe she would not do an assignment to go surfing but I do believe if the choice is between doing an assignment for extra credit and surfing, Lagoona will be on her board in the water.

Social Interaction
Lagoona is that rare monster whose buoyant presence is welcomed by any group in which she happens to surface. However, as with many monsters her age, she has trouble navigating the perilous shoals of dating.

Overall
Lagoona is an old soul and has a great deal of wisdom for one so young. She is the personification of a teenage monster that makes you feel as if you're the only one in the room when she is talking to you.

Lagoona's Official Facebook Description
Lagoona is a deep-sea cool 15-year-old ghoul. As daughter of the Sea Monster she inherited webbed fingers and fins. This part of her “surf monster chic” style helps her swim circles around the competition as MH swim team captain. If you ever need a little monsturizer, hit her up. She keeps tons of it in her locker because her skin totally dries out if she’s out of the water for too long! And that fishbowl purse that’s always by her side? She keeps her pet piranha Neptuna in there for safecreeping.
