Hi hi! Out of curiosity, do you have any headcanons for Draculaura you’d like to share?
Hiii!!!!!! Omg ty for the question :D
first i'm gonna mention some canon things i really like: 1) her writing poetry 2) her loving drama/theatre 3) her stepmomster Ramoanah 4) her being terrible at drawing lol
Now, (G1) Draculaura headcanons:
was homeschooled after moving to the boo-world (until she joined MH with Clawdeen)
briefly attended Belfry Prep/Smogsnorts Vampyr Academy
I like the idea she met Gory there (***more later). Also that she decided to "drop out" because she didn't want to follow traditional vampire expectations (drinking blood) + felt outcasted as she couldn't unlock her vampire powers
all these 1600 she travelled A LOT with her dad (*canon?), and most of her wardrobe collection is stuff she wore on these travels
she has a really big winter clothes collection
*this is based on her profile entry for "least favourite subject: Geography. After 1,599 years I’ve been everywhere… twice." and the fact we learn in Frights Camera Action/Draculaura and the New Stepmomster that vampires take long stays in Antartica during the night months; so i like to think she had many vacations there in her 1600 yrs, therefore many cold weather outfits ;)
she knows a few languages other than english
i would love her to speak (or at least read/understand) romanian / hungarian / latin... again cuz she travelled a lot and lived in different countries(& eras)
wrote many zines in her free time during all these years (also why she loves being on the gory gazette)
used to switch "princess and the pauper" style with Elissabat a lot during their vampire court days
when she met 11(in wolf years)y/o Clawdeen she was reminded of Euna (who she knew at that age back in 423 AD)
the following headcanons aren't exactly about Drac but more of... Draculaura-adiacent (?) lol
Count Fabulous is a little kid stuck in bat form, and sees Draculaura as an older sister (+in canon he sounds like a little kid when speaking to Jane Boolittle)
she has an uncle named Vlad, father of her cousin Thad
(visual headcanon) Dracula's color palette is grayscale/BnW
Like cuz i think it's funny if he has a very gloomy/sad white skin w gray-black hair and black coat color combo; to contrast Draculaura's lively pink palette. I think it adds to the pun of Draculaura being a non-traditional vampire & would be a cute design seen in a character line-up w her dad
(***) Gory was the one to nickname her "Ula D"
also Gory being some centuries (or maybe even a millenium+) younger.. like what if Drac is 1600 but Gory is just... 217 or something ?? 👀 And Brad DeVein & Thad being younger too like... ages around 900 to 117 yk like the lower the funnier to me-- i want a very cursed gap between Ula D, Elissabat, Valentine VS other vampires... also bc i headcanon that:
vampires can age, but not linearly and can't control it
ok... it could also just be using "magic" to age as a chioce (or graduation ritual?) but i have an overly-complicated headcanon about it sooooo.... xP
I headcanon it has to do with 1)unlocking their vampire powers 2) having an "emotional maturity" level that triggers the change.
Young vampyres are (usually) put in specific vampire-school, that they graduate once this change happens (it takes centuries) and they can move on to do more in vampire society/court.
(Rambling more about this even if i understand it's a bit contrived LoL) Reasons why (w this logic) vampires in the MH cast didn't age for over 1000 years
Draculaura (1600-16): didn't unlock her powers + feels a disconnect to her vampirism (her refusal to drink blood coming from the trauma of her transformation... stops her from feeling trurly comfortable w her vampirisim which acts as the "emotional block" to unlocking vampire-aging)
Elissabat (1601-16): her refusal to become vampire queen (again emotinal distance from her vampirisim/& responsabilities)
Valentine (1602-16): repressed homosexual LOL =literally emotinally repressed
*Count Fabulous (1006-?): stuck in bat form =emotinally stuck (i head canon because he became a vampire as a like, 6y/o kid & unlocked his powers super early n liked being a bat so much he messed up and couldn't retransform anymore lol)
aging for vampires is really odd and is probably kinda like.. a pokemon evolution? Like it might happen but you don't really know when...... rn im kinda liking the theory but if i ever get frustraded (or it starts to make my head hurt more that the idea of draculaura outliving clawd & everyone / breaking up due to them aging and her staying forever 16 T.T) im very much scrapping it LoLoLoL
---
as soon as i get to do a full monster high re-read/deep dive i'll also reconsider all my hcs in general, n see what to keep n what to scrap lol :>
let me know what yall think of these + feel free to share headcanons too!!! I love rambling (as seen by the long post haha srryy) n i'd love to hear yall' ramble too!! 💕💕💕💕💕
