Meowlody is a 2011-introduced and all-around character. She is a werecat and a student at Monster High. Meowlody, principally recognizable for her white hair, has a twin sister by the name of Purrsephone, who is principally recognizable for her black hair. Along with Toralei, their best friend, sib from another crib, and leader all rolled up in one, the trio are some of the worst causers of trouble at the school. Despite giving Toralei the reins under most circumstances, Meowlody has a crafty mind of her own and can operate solitarily or while instructing her sister. Though she and Purrsephone get along well, Meowlody is often insensitive to her needs and wellbeing.
Portrayers[]
Meowlody is rarely heard speaking, but she occasionally makes cat sounds. In the English version of the cartoon, credit for this goes to America Young, who also voices Toralei and Purrsephone. In Great Scarrier Reef, both she and Purrsephone are voiced by Cindy Robinson.
Character[]
Personality[]
While Meowlody is prone to relinquish the role of a criminal mastermind to Toralei, she is just as well off without her. Meowlody has a penchant for pranks all of her own and is willing to take risks to execute them. Her sister and default partner-in-crime is not all that pleased with that, but Meowlody needs little effort to convince her to join in. Given her enthusiasm, Meowlody doesn't respond too well when a prank backfires, liking neither the consequences nor that the prank itself never reached its potential.
While Purrsephone is frustrated that she and Meowlody are seen as interchangeable, Meowlody is not at all bothered by it since the kind of people that think that are the ones that don't matter to them. In fact, she likes the extra edge of confusion being part of a set of twins gives her.
Appearance[]
Purrsephone and Meowlody, being identical twins, are both slim, slate-gray-furred teenage werecats with triangle-shaped ears and signature long tails. The front of the faces of both sisters are colored white, and they also sport yellow eyes with slit pupils, thick eyelashes and wears makeup consisting of thick mascara, blue eyeshadow around their eyes, viva-magenta lipstick, and blue nail polish painted on their claw-like fingers, as well as their toenails. They also have long hair with straight bangs with black stripes, and white stripes on one of their arms and legs: in this case for Meowlody, her hair is white with silver-gray streaks and accents, while the stripes are located on her right arm and left leg respectively.
The twin' outfits are similar to Torelai, as they sport a "rebellious" look but with more feminine qualities - For Meowlody's attire, she wears an open-zipped, black diamond-studded frilled leather vest with a popped collar, worn over her black tank top with tiger-inspired white stripes printed all over it. She also wears an orange denim miniskirt and black calf-high, open-toed wedge boots with multiple studs and bows on them, along with deep-pink soles. Meowlody accessorizes with two black studded bracelets, a deep-pink bracelet and a fingerless deep-pink biker glove on her left wrist.
Relationships[]
Family[]
Meowlody is the twin sister of Purrsephone. They live in a good household, where their pranks are not approved but generally not reported on either. Their mother dotes on them and has so far denied Purrsephone the possibility to throw away embarrassing photos from when she was a child and affected by hairballs because she thinks the photos are cute.
Toralei says that Meowlody and Purrsephone are "like [her] sisters". This sentiment is presumably shared by Meowlody. [1]
Friends[]
Meowlody's best pals in life are Purrsephone and Toralei.
Pet[]
Until some years ago, Meowlody and Purrsephone owned a male canary who would sing them awake every morning. However, Purrsephone developed an allergy to the bird, forcing the sisters to give him away. They still miss him.
Romance[]
Meowlody and Purrsephone went for the same werewolf when looking for a dance partner in "Fright On!", suggesting she has a similar taste in dates as her sister. Though Purrsephone hasn't been in romantic context since, Meowlody has caught the attention of Manny Taur, who gave her flowers in "Hiss-toria". She appreciated that and expressed jealousy when Manny and Iris started dating. [2] Meowlody even tries to sabotage their relationship by leaving a love letter in the locker of Manny Taur that she tries to pin on Catty Noir, but Iris Clops finds out the truth. [3]
