Character[]
Background[]
Irene Maiden is one of the original teachers of Monster High, who got herself somehow stuck in a Greek statue without anyone knowing. She remained locked up for 2,000 years.
Appearance[]
If the statue in which Maiden was locked away is any indication, she's a woman of average height who covers herself completely in cloth.
Relationships[]
Friends[]
Given that Headless Headmistress Bloodgood has been the headmistress of Monster High since it was founded and sounds elated about Maiden's return, they are presumably on good terms.
Fiction[]
Volume 1[]
Ms. Maiden became stuck in a statue 2000 years ago without anyone knowing. The statue remains within the Monster High hallways until one day in "Totally Busted", Cleo and Frankie collide. One of Cleo's bandages gets stuck around Frankie's neck bolt and the subsequent struggle to get free makes Frankie's neck bolt snap loose and knock over Ms. Maiden's statue, which set her free. It's unknown if she resumed her job as a teacher. [Source]
Notes[]
- Irene Maiden is a reference to the iron maiden, a torture device invented sometime around 1800 as a fake remnant of the "barbaric" Middle Ages. The iron maiden is an iron cabinet that people could be locked inside, reflecting the fact that Irene Maiden was trapped in a statue. If someone was put inside it, they either immediately died or bled to death by the pins inside the cabinet.
