Ghoulia Yelps

Ghoulia Yelps
Ghoulia Yelps is a zombie. She has a baby blue colored owl named Sir Hoots A Lot. She is the smartest girl in Monster High, although she only speaks "Zombie" (groans and moans).

Personality
She is depicted as timid and shy. She is also the smartest girl in Monster High. It is revealed in her diary that she is good friends with Cleo de Nile because Cleo was willing to give her a chance, when zombies are typically discriminated against. However, in the webisode Copy Canine, Cleo tells Clawdeen to copy from Ghoulia, and Ghoulia is not happy at her.

Portrayals
In the webisodes and Monster High movie New Ghoul @ School, Ghoulia's voice is provided by Audu Paden.

Physical Description
She has light blue hair and pale gray skin. Her appearance is very studious and she wears glasses.

Classic Monster
Ghoulia Yelps is the child of two zombies, possibly inspired by the films of zombie master George A. Romero.

Romero's first film about zombies was Night of the Living Dead, a low-budget, black and white film released in 1968. The story is about several people who are stuck in a rural farmhouse as the reanimated dead attack them.

The film was a huge hit because of its simple presentation and strong core concept, and it influenced many scary movies that came after it. The word "zombie" is never actually used in the 1968 film, nor is the reason for their reanimation ever revealed (though people on the television speculate about its cause).

One of the actors portraying a zombie in Night of the Living Dead was inspired by the saunter of Boris Karloff in one of his films.

The stylistic influence on Ghoulia is seen in that she shuffles instead of walks, and cannot speak except in "Zombie", which is moans and groans, though her classmates have taken rudimentary lessons in the language and can understand her. In one webisode, she opens her mouth and a fly comes out of it.

Family
Ghoulia lives with her parents, who are both zombies, though it's not clear what their house looks like.

Friends
She is particular friends with Cleo de Nile, and they even plan their school schedules together.

Romance
Ghoulia has a crush on a boy named Slow-Moe. She writes about it in her diary, and there is a webisode, Cyrano de Ghoulia, about how they met. They can be seen dancing together at the Justin Biter concert in New Ghoul @ School.
