Happy Pride Month everyone! I've decided to show you guys another character for my Vivziepop styled Monster High series idea. This time a special character who had openly LGBTQ+ aspects in G3, aka one of the few things G3 actually did well. And that's Frankie Stein.

Place of Descent: Xenia, Ohio

Currently Resides: New Salem, Massachusetts

Language Spoken: Naturally English, is fluid in many different languages, including many from Western European countries.

Ethnicity: American, German Heritage.

Sexuality: Not specified, possibly Pansexual.

Significant Other: None at the moment.

Gender: Non-binary

Monster Type: Living Corpse.

Family: Frankenstein and his Bride, mom and dad, Victor Frankenstein, Uncle.

Friends: Draculaura, Frankie Stein, Clawdeen Wolf, Lagoona Blue, Cleo De Nile, Rochelle Goyle, Robecca Steam, Jinafire Long, and Ghoulia Yelps

Interests: Reading, experimenting, hanging out with friends, and learning in general.

Pennywise: Can look inside your entire mind and seek out your biggest fears and reality warp those fears into existence. He can essentially change your entire environment and change into any form that you can conceive of. He's a mass illusionist who can essentially shapeshift into anything, and as a result can regenerate indefinitely. He also has the deadlights, a hypnotical ability where he can make someone stare into bright lights that can put that individual in a trance as in the movies, or basically drive you insane, or straight up kills you, as in the book. However, Pennywise's power comes from you being afraid of him, and if you overcome your fear of Pennywise, he loses essentially all of his power, and can be temporarily defeated.

Bunnicula: Can drain the juice from vegetables and gain various powers, in addition to seemingly having powers in general. He can do numerous things, including mutating his body in a bunch of strange ways, he can to some degree reality warp after draining some kinds of vegetables, and can essentially recover from anything you could throw at him. As in the series he has easily survived losing his head, and being turned into a skeleton and losing all his tissues. He can also naturally turn his ears into wings and fly, can shrink himself, and can tear himself apart and easily heal and recover from it.

Now personally, I think Bunnicula would win. Now let's assume that this fight takes place with both at full strength, with Pennywise having fed on a lot of fear, and Bunnicula having drained a lot of different vegetables. Now there are several things that I think would work in Bunnicula's favor. First off, I don't think Bunnicula would be afraid of Pennywise at all. He's seen a lot of freaky stuff that can easily compare to what Pennywise has created with his powers. So if the fight goes on for a while, Pennywise would definitely weaken due to Bunnicula not being afraid of him, and being able to survive what Pennywise would throw at him. Also, while the deadlights are a potential instant kill against most individuals Pennywise goes up against, Bunnicula isn't a normal individual. You see, it's been said that the deadlights only work on living individuals. Given the fact that Bunnicula is a vampire, and vampires are said to be technically dead, I'm pretty sure Bunnicula is technically dead. So given that, and the fact that Bunnicula isn't human, I don't think the deadlights would work on Bunnicula. Those are two critical weaknesses that Pennywise would have in this fight, while Bunnicula's only real weakness I know of is sunlight, which is a weakness that depends on the circumstances. Pennywise though has weaknesses that Bunnicula could potentially exploit, whereas Bunnicula doesn't really have such a weakness. So I'd say that Bunnicula would win, mainly after a long fight where Bunnicula's lack of fear drains away Pennywise's power.

This is my opinion, but I'm curious what you guys would think, who do you guys think would win? Vote down below.

Clawd Wolf x Draculaura: Obliviously I'd keep this pairing, it's iconic and it works perfectly. Not to mention, in this series, this is the primary couple we start out with. And it's perfect.

Clawdeen Wolf x Rochelle Goyle: This is one of the main lgbtq pairings in the series. The story of Clawdeen and Rochelle began during their first year at Monster High. At first, they were simply friends, but Clawdeen began to notice that she was attracted to Rochelle just as much as she had been attracted to her previous boyfriends, which she initially found to be strange. So she kept it a secret, but Rochelle quickly began to realize that there was something there. She talked to Clawdeen about it, told her that it's okay to be attracted to girls, and confirmed that she didn't mind dating Clawdeen. This led to Clawdeen coming out as bisexual, and officially starting a relationship with Rochelle. They ultimately ended their relationship after dating for a bit, as they agreed they were better as friends. Then they went through a peaceful breakup, rekindled their friendship, and were best friends for a long time. However, long after Clawdeen and Cleo peacefully ended their relationship, and the two found themselves close to each other, Clawdeen and Rochelle realized they still had feelings for each other. This leads to a beautiful scene where the two agree that if they're gonna go against their promise, they're gonna make sure it's true love pulling them back to each other and not anything toxic. Hints, they soon rekindle their relationship, and have been together ever since.

Lagoona Blue x Jinafire Long: Personally, I find this pairing to be massively underrated, hints why I made it canon in this version of the series. Plus, it works really well here. Lagoona and Jinafire were good friends during their first year in high school, but were later unknowingly set up on a blind date, after realizing that they decided to go along with it, with it at worst, being an opportunity to hang out, and at best, a potential romance could develop between them. The date ends with Lagoona taking a swim in the ocean, but Jinafire is hesitant to join her due to being afraid of water, having almost drowned in her youth. Lagoona then decides to teach Jinafire how to swim in a manner that allows them to go at a slow pace, and allows Jinafire to learn at a speed that she's comfortable with. This stretches over several days, with Jinafire at first holding onto Lagoona while in the water, putting her trust in her, and Lagoona eventually giving Jinafire a traditional Australian wristband to act as a sort of physical manifestation of Lagoona that she can have on her at all times. This makes her comfortable enough to swim by herself. However the two had spent a lot of time together at that point, and they ultimately have to except the fact that a romance developed between them, and leading to them officially becoming a couple. Plus there's the whole Fire and Water thing.

Clawdeen Wolf x Cleo De Nile: This is the first on-screen pairing featuring Clawdeen, and is a really interesting part of the series beginning. You see, during Frankie's first few days, she's bullied by Cleo for being the clumsy new girl. She later tells Clawdeen about it, and she tells Frankie she'll handle it, and handle it she does. She kinda already had eyes for Cleo, due to her bisexuality, as well her animal instincts, and so she decided to sweep Cleo off her feet and take her for herself. After all, her breakup with Deuce is the reason she's bitter to begin with. However, she tells Cleo that if she truly wants her, she has to learn to get along with Frankie. Impressed by Clawdeen's confidence and the beautiful attention she got from her, Cleo agrees. However, Cleo later realizes that this relationship is a lot deeper than she expected, as Clawdeen doesn't care about any of the drama that Cleo has around her, nor her royal status. She genuinely just loves her for who she is. This causes Cleo to lighten up quite a bit, it also gives Cleo a chance to date someone outside of royalty. Clawdeen essentially becomes her escape from the royal needs, and someone she truly loves. Cleo later decides that in fact, Clawdeen is actually too good for her, and she decides to end their relationship on a positive note, saying that Clawdeen deserves someone just right for her, and thanking her for the great time they had while they were dating. Also, there's a moment in this series that is about Clawdeen and Cleo finding out about an alternate reality where the two of them actually stayed together, and eventually had a daughter named Lyra De Nile.

Cleo De Nile x Toralei Stripe: A while after Clawdeen and Cleo part ways, Cleo is being her typical self, when suddenly Toralei is introduced. She, being a hardcore lesbian, immediately starts hitting on Cleo, which causes Cleo to have an existential crisis. She admittedly loves cats, and can't deny that her time with Clawdeen was great, but she's always believed the one who's truly for her is a guy. But then, in comes this confident, strong, beautiful werecat who absolutely makes Cleo's heart race. It takes a while for Cleo to accept her feelings for Toralei, but when she does, it's one of the most beautiful lesbian pairings you've ever seen, often riding with her on her motorcycle (nicknamed Skidmark) in classic biker couple fashion with Cleo having her arms wrapped tightly around Toralei's waist, and her head resting against her back. Toralei absolutely makes Cleo realize she likes girls, and while she and Clawdeen absolutely hate each other, they agree to try to get along for Cleo. Clawdeen knowing that Toralei is Cleo's happiness, and Toralei knowing that Clawdeen is her best friend. Cleo ends up becoming crucial to Toralei, and eventually causes her to become a neutral individual.

Cleo De Nile x Deuce Gorgon: A technically canon ship in this universe, and a critical one to include in Monster High. However, I personally think other Cleo ships are better due to the storytelling possibilities. Hints why I kept their breakup from G3.

Clawdeen Wolf x Kieran Valentine: I've seen some pairings featuring Clawdeen with a vampire oc, and I quite like the concept of it, so I decided to reference it with this pairing. This pairing is technically canon, and was the first relationship Clawdeen ever had. However, her relationship with Valentine was short-lived due to him becoming a mobster. As she wasn't about that. This caused Valentine to not believe in love and hate Clawdeen. Then however, the two met each other again when Valentine came to New Salem Massachusetts to assassinate the leader of a werewolf supremacy group (basically a Neo Nazi group). Now initially, the two were at each other's throats, but while Valentine was spending time with Spelldon, he began to realize that the reason Clawdeen broke up with him was his own fault. He let a bad decision for what he wanted to do for money compromise his love life. This, along with him realizing he does still believe in love makes him regret his decisions. Ultimately, he kills the leader of this group himself, ending their attempts to kill Draculaura and her friends, but also himself being arrested on the scene by police. He's put on trial for Mafia activity, and during this trial, not only does he show a lot of remorse, especially twords Clawdeen, but his words have a profound effect on her. Clawdeen ultimately speaks up to say that Valentine is still a best friend of hers, which he confirms as well. It's an emotional moment, made even more heartwarming when Clawdeen asks the judge if she can give Valentine a hug before he goes to prison, leading to a friendly hug between the two. Valentine ultimately gets 10 years in prison knocked down to five, and is ultimately released after two on parole due to overcrowding at the prison, and he subsequently retires from the Mafia, and reconnects with Clawdeen, becoming one of her closest friends.

Kieran Valentine x Spelldon Cauldronello: During his time in New Salem, Valentine ends up spending a lot of time with Spelldon. This ultimately leads to a romance developing between them, in addition to what I mentioned earlier with Clawdeen. Valentine himself was gay, and helped Valentine come out as gay as well. Hints, not too long after getting out of prison, Valentine immediately comes back to Spelldon, wanting to spend the rest of his life with his boyfriend. They're still together to this day, and will likely never break up.

Hexiciah Steam x Nora Bloodgood: This Monster High series has a couple of adult character pairings, and this one is easily the most prominent, and the most important. You see, Bloodgood is a single woman who has never married, and Hexiciah is a single man who has never married, yet both have wanted to start a family at some point. That's one of the reasons why Hexiciah made Robecca, but he's always kinda wanted to let her have a mom. And when he began to realize that he and Bloodgood had chemistry, he couldn't help but talk to her about it. After dating for a bit, the two decided to tell Robecca about their relationship, and they asked her if she'd like Bloodgood to be her mom, which she immediately said yes to. It's later stated that the two got married, officially making Robecca Bloodgoods daughter, and the family whole.

Name: Clawdeen Lucia Wolf

Age: 16

Killer Style: I'm a fierce fashionista with a confident, no-nonsense attitude. I'm also gorgeous, intimidating, and absolutely loyal to my friends.

Freaky Flaw: I'm deathly allergic to silver. One touch and I nearly died as a pup. That's why I have to be careful about shopping, as I have to make sure what I buy doesn't have silver.

Favorite Color: Gold, it's not just a color to me. Gold is my prime alternative to silver. Plus, Cleo wears a lot of it, and she's gorgeous.

Favorite Food: Any meat... rare.

Biggest Pet Peeve: Homophobic individuals, I hate them. As someone who has dated both boys and girls, I think you shouldn't have to be judged for your preferences. Thankfully I don't personally know any.

Favorite Activity: Designing fashion, it's my life. Though continuing to learn about meteorology is definitely a second.

Pet: I have multiple. Me and my family have a whole family of Chihuahuas. Turnip and Tulip, a male and female pair, and all their puppies. Chip, Cheesecake, Tuscan, Dandelion, Daisy, and most important of all, Pipsqueak. He's my main pet, wherever I can take him, he goes everywhere with me.

Friends: Draculaura, Frankie Stein, Lagoona Blue, Cleo De Nile, Ghoulia Yelps, Catrine Demew, Zeather Panthera.

Favorite School Subject: Science, definitely. As a meteorologist, the science classes I attend are easily my most important classes.

Least Favourite School Subject: Economics, honestly, I like most subjects. So I just picked the one that's least important to me.

Here's a link so you guys can understand her more.

As you can see above, I've done this design several times. The old drawing is the one on the far left, and the new drawing is the middle left one. Now, I wanna talk about the original design first, since that's where most of my process comes from. You see, I had recently seen her design in the G3 animated series, as well as a number of redesigns for her, and while I thought the G3 animated series design was absolute garbage, I also couldn't help but think the redesigns I saw were better, but still downgrades from the original. Now, as I've mentioned before, I at first didn't know how to describe the aesthetic of the series, I've later come to realize that the slightly gothic style of Monster High was one of the reasons I was really drawn to the series. You see, a lot of the redesigns I've seen actually didn't incorporate that aesthetic in the same way G1 or even G2 did. Because of that, I couldn't quite grow attached to these redesigns like I did the original. That's why, for this design, I wanted to create something very close to the original, but improving it in the areas I think it genuinely needs improvement. Hints why, my design ends up looking a lot like G2s design, because I think the G2 Clawdeen design is probably her best main design. Honestly, the only thing I'd really change is the sleeves of her jacket. This already eliminates the slight issue I have with her skirt in G1. It also allows for more detail due to the pants and the additional blue in her hair. Now for my recent new version of this design, I wanted to essentially make Clawdeen look bigger and stronger. You see, I've given this version of Clawdeen proper werewolf proportions. She's officially 8 feet tall, and 400 pounds exactly, but her thin, lanky limbs definitely don't make her look that big. So I beefed her up, quite a bit. I also just made her look stronger, hints her thicker snout. I then proceeded to add even more detail, including her fourth fingers, and the actual claws on her hands. I then recolored the spikes on her waistband and choker. One to add more color, and to confirm the fact that these spikes aren't silver, which she is deathly weak to. Finally, I removed her necklace, since I felt like it would be a little distracting. She also doesn't wear shoes, because of the fact that she's a werewolf. Meaning, unlike cats, she can't retract her claws. Overall, I love this design, and I love what I've done for her character, as you can learn about down below.

Recently, I've been listening to a lot of country music songs as just a way to relax and unwind, and since I've been thinking constantly about what's potentially my favorite Monster High pairing, Clawtrine, aka Clawdeen Wolf x Catrine Demew, I've come to realize there's some lyrics from certain songs that really fit this pairing. Here's some of those lyrics and the songs they're from.

"Don't think I've ever seen your kind of pretty. Wanderin' around this midnight mad house city. You got a look that says you got it all together. So if you don't mind I'd like to know you better." The Long Way by Brett Eldridge.

"I know you got blue eyes." I Don't Know About You by Chris Lane.

"Take me the long way around your town. Were you the queen with the silver crown? I want the secrets you keep, the shine underneath. Of the diamond I think I just found. Take me the long way around." The Long Way by Brett Eldridge.

"When the bleachers are crowded. When you're sittin' all alone. When the rain is pourin'. And you need something to take you home." Wanna Be That Song by Brett Eldridge.

"Like a postcard from Paris. When I've seen the real thing. It's like finding out your diamond is, from her old promise ring." Postcard From Paris by The Band Perry.

"Makes you dance, makes you fall. That melody rewinds years. Once disappeared, makes time stall. Wanna be those words that fill you up, roll your windows down and keeps you young. Makes you believe you're right where you belong. I wanna be that song." Wanna Be That Song by Brett Eldridge.

"You don't walk through that door. Without landing your lips on mine. Ain't just there when it's easy. You're there all the time. Livin' to the rhythm of your heartbeat. Beats everything I've ever felt. Yeah, I know that I got it good. And so would everybody else. If love had a hall of fame. For a summer kiss in the rain. For making me wanna stay. Wrapped in your arms all night, all day. For the way you look at me. It should all go down in history. They'd hang your picture on the wall. And write your name. If love had a hall of fame. If love had a hall of fame. You'd be up there on that stage. Shining brighter than the lights. And I'd be out there in the crowd. Telling everybody that you're mine. If love had a hall of fame. For a summer kiss in the rain. For making me wanna stay. Wrapped in your arms all night, all day. For the way you look at me. It should all go down in history. They'd hang your picture on the wall. And write your name. If love had a hall of fame. If love had a hall of fame." Hall Of Fame by Gabby Barrett.
