for as long as she can remember, the number one rule mavis had to keep was to never leave the walls of hotel transylvania. it was a simple enough job for the first 70 years or so but as she grew up, mavis wondered what life was really like out in the world. most of her days contained helping her dad out with hotel matters and trying to make friends that stayed in the hotel but they never stayed long enough to be considered real friends. it was a lonely life, she could admit that but it never stopped her from attempting friendships in those that were only around for a couple of days. by the time the teenage years came, mavis became more and more curious about the outside world. she found herself drifting away on nighttime flying sessions with her dad, trying to find any humans nearby.
for her 118th birthday, she got what she wanted; to finally go outside. her dad gave her the directions to the nearest town and with all the excitement in the world, she flew off. to her dismay, her trip to the human world went sour very quickly. all she could see were pitchforks, fires, and humans that wore garlands of garlic around their necks. it was terrifying sight and she returned home immediately. all her fears had been confirmed and for a while, she felt stupid for thinking the outside world would welcome her. that was until her dad finally coughed up the truth, turns out the town she’d visited was just a ruse built to scare her away from wanting to leave home. while it hurt to hear what he did, she couldn’t stay mad for too long. he was being protective, after all, as any good father would be. but mavis wasn’t going to settle for just the chance to be able to leave the hotel now, she felt her dad owed her years of human exposure. they came to the agreement that the hotel was now open for everyone, including humans, but the vampire identities had to remain a secret. this she could deal with, how hard could it be?
with the hotel now open to the public, mavis has decided to become more involved into the affairs of the establishment. her job involves modifications needed to bring the hotel into the modern age and ensuring humans have no idea of vampires roaming around. this meant getting all vampires to switch to an all vegan diet aka only drinking animal’s blood. if she could manage to convince all vampires to join in her efforts, she could finally get to live the life she’s always wanted to and ensure there wouldn’t be any conflicts with humans. it’s big responsibility but one she’s sure she can handle.
HC’s:
after her childhood of temporary friends coming in and out of the hotel, mavis does struggle letting people become a permanent part in her life. she gets excited when people continually want to hang out with her but still holds out on opening up completely, especially with the knowledge that her true identity could get her in trouble.
mavis has never tasted human’s blood, she’s only been fed animal’s blood since birth out of convenience. her fangs are a bit dull since she’s had nearly no use for them but they don’t show up unless she’s bloodthirsty so no one can really tell.
mavis advertises hotel transylvania as a themed hotel: think halloween 365 days of the year. the hotel plants obvious and childish pranks to deter anyone from considering it an actual place that monsters reside in. however, for those In The Know, hotel transylvania acts as a safe haven and hides out monsters that have nowhere else to go and need protection. there’s a secret entrance specifically made for supernatural creatures that allow them access into the hotel without humans seeing them.
with a fascination for human society, mavis will often take anthropology classes at the local college. she’ll also watch vlogs and take time out of her day just to observe local trends in language, fashion, etc.
after a long day at work, mavis’ favorite thing to do is to soar through the clouds. however, with the magical barrier in place keeping her from complete freedom, she still harbors feelings of being trapped. she knows it’s the best for the isle but she can’t help but think her independence is just an illusion. she’s still grateful there’s more to explore than just the hotel but mavis can’t deny that she hasn’t had any dreams of leaving. after all, her childhood dream was to explore the rest of the world.
in order to keep up with human appearances, mavis tries her hardest to constantly be seen during the daytime. she’ll go out of her way to “get tan” (post a photo of her at the beach and then fake tan at home), practice perfecting her makeup without a mirror, and persistently apply her special sunscreen that saves her vampire skin from the sun throughout the day (which she will use as her answer for having perfect and ‘youthful’ skin).
