Scary Murphy (G1)

	So you're the wild card team. Not much to look at, are you beuttercups?
—Scary Murphy in "Witch Trials".

Scary Murphy is a cartoon-only character.

Character

Personality

According to Cleo, Scary Murphy's a fearleading legend, although it's unknown whether that's as an ex-fearleader or as a fearleading coach (or both). Either way, Scary Murphy has a knack for noticing talent in a fearleading squad and bringing it out by challenging that squad.

During the Gloom Beach mashionals tournament, Scary Murphy singled out the Monster High fearleaders as her protegées and forced them to do seemingly pointless jobs with the secret intent to familiarize them with a large set of moves they could use in their routine (since they were the Wild Card team). However, her bossy and offensive attitude left almost the entire Monster High fearleading squad to resent her, with Cleo being the only one to keep faith in her.

After the MH-fear squad won the tournament with Scary Murphy's moves, Scary Murphy became much nicer, and friendlier to them, explaining why she had been so tough on them before. However, when they were in a funk during Rising From the Dead, Scary Murphy went back to her harsh attitude to force Cleo to take back her responsibility as the squad captain and fight her way back to the alpha fearleading position.

Appearance

Scary Murphy wears a long dark purple cloak with a dark blue witches hat. Her head is in a glass bubble, possibly a Gazing Ball, better known as a Crystal Ball used by fortune tellers. She has no actually body but her cloak acts as her hands sometimes.

Appearances

Scary Murphy sends Cleo de Nile a text that the Fear Squad's invitation is still under review.

Scary Murphy takes on the role of coach of the Fear Squad. Her first instruction is for them to do a number of chores.

At the Gloom Beach competition, the Fear Squad is forced to improvise and Cleo puts a routine together using the movements she used during the chores. The Fear Squad wins, prompting Scary Murphy to admit she acted like she did to bring out their best.

Scary Murphy shows up and is disappointed that Cleo is giving up and tells her that the others rely on her. Then Scary Murphy says that she will even help them to make them be back Fearleading Team again. Cleo agrees and is willing to give it chance.

Nefera shows her true colors when she snatches the trophy from the ghouls' hands and starts claiming that she technically won since she's the coach. But Ghoulia shows Scary Murphy a video of Nefera deploying her idols, to which Scary Murphy not only disqualifies Nefera for cheating but also has her stripped of all her previous fearleading awards. As the ghouls are lifted up by their friends, Cleo and Toralei (and her werecats) flash a friendly smile at each other.
