Draculaura

Draculaura is 1,599 years old,although is said to be 1,600 years old in Party Planners, and is Count Dracula's daughter. She is a 'vegan' vampire, meaning she doesn't drink blood, and she appears to be haemophobic, which means she can not say "blood" without fainting. Also, unlike most vampires, she cannot turn into a bat.

Personality
Draculaura is a sweet, friendly, kind and very considerate vegan vampire. She likes to help out her friends and loves to smile. She falls in love easily, such as with Heath Burns in The Hot Boy, or "the Perfect Guy" in Horrorscope.

Portrayals
In the webisodes and Monster High movie New Ghoul @ School, Draculaura's voice is provided by Debi Derryberry.

In the music video for the Monster High Fright Song, there are several character analogues who received creative interpretation by the video crew. The "Vampire Girl" is portrayed by Melanie Mah.

Physical Description


Draculaura has black and pink-streaked hair, pulled into two pigtails. She has light pink skin, with purple eyes and visible fangs. In some artwork, she has a pink heart on her cheek. She often wears silver safety pin earrings on her pointed ears.

She is visibly shorter than the other monsters.

She speaks with a transylvanian accent.

Classic Monster
Draculaura is the daughter of Count Dracula, who is based on Béla Lugosi'sfamous portrayal of the character.

The Dracula film, directed by Tod Browning, was released by Universal in 1931. It is based on the stage play of the same name by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston, which in turn is based on the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker.



There was a sequel released in 1936 titled Dracula's Daughter starring Gloria Holden as Countess Marya Zaleska.

While Draculaura may not be based directly on the Gloria Holden character, her character design takes many cues from traditional portrayals of Dracula and vampire-related characters; her skin is pale, she has visible fangs and dark hair, and she speaks with a light Romanian/Transylvanian accent.

Her pointed ears may be a nod to Max Schrek'sCount Orlok from the 1922 film Nosferatu.

Family
Draculaura and her father live on the same street as Holt Hyde/Jackson Jekyll "in what is either a gigantic mansion or a small castle. I guess you'd have to go with mansion, but only because there isn't a moat and a drawbridge."

Draculaura gets along with her father, although she thinks he is very old fashioned, (he bought her corsets and Victorian dresses for back to school clothes.) Every year he tries to convince her to be a more traditional vampire, including keeping nighttime hours and drinking blood.

Friends
Draculaura is best friends with Clawdeen Wolf and Frankie Stein. She is also friends with Lagoona Blue, Ghoulia Yelps, Jackson Jekyll, Deuce Gorgon, Cleo de Nile, Spectra Vondergiest and Abbey Bominable.

Pet
Draculaura's pet is named Count Fabulous. She likes to dress him up in pink, coordinated outfits.

Romance
Draculaura writes in her diary about her crush on Jackson Jekyll, whose family moves onto her street.

In The Hot Boy, Draculaura has a crush on "new guy" Heath Burns, and is seen dancing with him in New Ghoul @ School, but is over him by the events of Fur Will Fly. Draculaura develops a crush on "the perfect guy" after her horoscope tells her "he'll be the first boy she sees", in Horrorscope. (Also note that "The Perfect Guy" has blue skin-just like Holt Hyde.)

In other webisodes, she likes Clawd, Clawdeen Wolf's brother. In Fear Pressure it appears that Draculaura is starting to date Clawd.

In &quot;Monster High&quot; by Lisi Harrison, Draculaura has a crush on DJ Hyde, presumably the DJ name of Holt Hyde (although she says later she's over him).

The official product description of the Clawd and Draculaura boxed set says the following, suggesting that she has been or will be interested in Holt Hyde at some point:

"'Girls' crushes are scarily fickle so Dracualura™ has decided to switch her attention from Holt Hyde™ to the last 'ghoul' at Monster High™ she would ever consider dating - a werewolf! He also happens to be the brother of Clawdeen Wolf™! His name is Clawd Wolf™ and he's the BMOC-big monster on campus, captain of the football team and he can drive! Now that's a match to 'howl' about! Gift set includes Draculaura™ doll and Clawd Wolf™ doll, 2 diaries, brush, pet, purse and umbrella.'"

Draculaura in the Monster High books
In the Monster High book series, Draculaura is often called Lala, and Draculaura is her RAD (Regular Attribute Dodgers) name. She is described as often having make-up smudges, because she can't see her reflection, and is often wearing cashmere and spending her time in the steam room because she is always cold due to having no pulse. She has pale skin, pink highlighted hair, and fangs.

It really sucks that she can’t see her reflection in the mirror – I mean how does she know if her makeup and hair are just right? Of course, she has over one thousand years of practice. Oh, and she has a scary-cute pet bat, Count Fabulous, who she’s always dressing up in the cutest little outfits!
