Fangelica VanBat[1] is a 2017-introduced and all-around character. She's an only-child and the youngest member of the royal VanBat Family of Transylvania. As a consequence of the Great Monster Fright Flight. Fangelica has lived alone in her ancestral castle for centuries until the Ghoul Squad brought her over to Monster High. Too young to follow classes, she spends her time with friends and her new adoptive family: her big sister Draculaura and her father Dracula. Being a little sister is a new experience, but it's having a positive effect on her social and emotional development.

Character[]

Background[]

Fangelica was born and raised in Transylvania as the only child to the reigning branch of the VanBats, a royal vampire family. Like many children finding asylum at Monster High, she has become separated from her parents due to human hostility and whether they are still alive or not is unknown. She has since been living alone in her ancestral castle, which is packed with booby-traps to ensure her safety. After a few centuries, the Ghoul Squad comes looking for her based on rumors regarding a lost vampire princess and Fangelica goes with them, trusting them because Draculaura is a fellow vampire. [Source] Forging a close bond with Draculaura from the get-go, Fangelica gets adopted by Dracula to make up for the lost years of her childhood. [Source]

Personality[]

Fangelica and her adopted family, Dracula and Draculaura.

Her centuries of living alone in hiding have made Fangelica cautious, but they did not affect her peppy disposition. The moment she felt she could trust the Ghoul Squad because she saw Draculaura, a fellow vampire, and Clawdeen, a werewolf, perform the secret vampire handshake, she agreed to go with them to Monster High to start a new life. Because of her age and the years of her youth she's missed out on, she's the curious sort who loves trying out new things. [Source] On the other end, insecurity is just around the corner when she finds herself taken by surprise by a custom and unprepared to deal with it. [Source]

Appearance[]

Back when she still lived in Transylvania, Fangelica wore elaborate gowns befitting her station as a princess. Over in the United States, she goes for more casual skirts and sandals. She likes the colors purple and black, which go with her hair, as well as turquoise and white. These colors are counterparts to Draculaura's, who goes for pink, black, aqua, and white.

Fangelica's skintone ranges from not-quite-human pink to a soft purple. Because of her young age, she is still on the monster side of the monster-to-human age scale. She has prominent bat ears on top of her head, bat wings, and animal-like feet.

  • Fangelica can turn into a bat at will. She is physically weak in this form but capable of flight. [Source]
  • Fangelica is several centuries old, of which she's lived and survived on her own for at least two. [Source] As such, she mastered her bat form at a much younger age than Draculaura did. [Source]

Relationships[]

Family[]

Several centuries ago, Fangelica was born as the first and only child of the royal VanBat couple. They formed a happy family living a luxurious life in Transylvania until humans caused her parents to disappear. Their whereabouts are unknown, as is whether they are still alive. [Source] After several centuries alone, Fangelica moved to the United States, where she was adopted by Dracula. She has taken readily to her new life and especially enjoys having Draculaura as an older sister. [Source]

References[]

  1. "VanBat" is spelled as "Van Bat" in Fangelica's Batty Bake Club. Sources using the "VanBat" spelling are older but also circumstantial, such as the Adventures of the Ghoul Squad media announcements and Cristina Milizia using the "VanBat" spelling on her social media. Notably, the VanBat Family Crest resembles a "V". "Van" is a Dutch word that means "of" or "from" and if it were separate from "Bat" the family crest would be a "B". Only the spelling "VanBat" (or "Vanbat") justifies the "V", which is therefore what the Monster High Wiki assumes to be correct.
