Bekka Madden
Bekka is the main antagonist on the Monster High book series. Though she seems innocent and friendly at first, but she backstabbed Melody when she found out that Jackson was a RAD. She is very discriminating against RADs, shooting out propaganda whenever she can. This hate mostly stems from the fact that Brett, her ex-boyfriend, chose Frankie Stein over her. By the third book, Melody used her newfound RAD powers to force out all her friend's true feelings. Bekka is left humiliated and friendless, increasing her hatred greatly. Between the second and thrid books she leader of the group HUNT (Humans Unite No Tolerance).

Brett Redding
Brett started out as Bekka's boyfriend, but soon ended up with Frankie Stein, passing out into a coma when he saw her head fall off.

She was tricked Haylee into signing a contract promissing her friendship and loyalty to Bekka forever. This has completely backfires.
