Book-exclusive charactersEdit

Melody CarverEdit

Melody is percieved as being a normie. She once had a large nose, which her plastic surgeon father fixed for her, both for cosmetic reasons and to help her breathe better. The family also moved to Salem, Oregon to help with her asthma, and Melody has to start at a new school, Merston High. According to Cleo's servant Manu, she is the daughter of the Siren Marina, who it is later discovered, gave her up for adoption.

Candace CarverEdit

Candace is Melody's confident older sister. Though her constant optimism irritates Melody, her advice is, more often than not, extremely useful.
A huge flirt herself, Candace rarely keeps a relationship and looks at dating as more of a game than anything. She is one Billy Phaidin's best friends and gave him the idea of visibility. They started the NUDI (Normies Uncool withDiscriminating Idiots) group to promote RADs.

Billy PhaidinEdit

Billy is the invisible RAD introduced in the first book. He took a shine to Frankie and became one of her best friends, agreeing with her about RAD-Normie equality. It wasn't long before he develiped a crush on Frankie and it wasn't long before they decided to just be friends.
Billy is sarcastic, laid-back and loves to pull pranks. He strongly supports equality, and was a founding member of NUDI.

Bekka MaddenEdit

Bekka is the main antagonist on the Monster High book series. Though she seems innocent and friendly at first, but she backstabbed Melody when she found out that Jackson was a RAD. She is very discriminating against RADs, shooting out propaganda whenever she can. This hate mostly stems from the fact that Brett, her ex-boyfriend, chose Frankie Stein over her. By the third book, Melody used her newfound RAD powers to force out all her friend's true feelings. Bekka is left humiliated and friendless, increasing her hatred greatly. Between the second and thrid books she leader of the group HUNT (Humans Unite No Tolerance).

Brett ReddingEdit

Brett started out as Bekka's boyfriend, but soon ended up with Frankie Stein, passing out into a coma when he saw her head fall off. He is a huge RAD supporter, and came up with the idea of a video where the monsters all poured out their feelings, but their faces would be blurred. The video was sabotauged and though he was originally accused, he cleared his name and got back together with Frankie.

HayleeEdit

Haylee is introduced as Bekka's best friend , though seems to be more of a servant to the girl. She was tricked Haylee into signing a contract promissing her friendship and loyalty to Bekka forever. This has completely backfires. She is mainly seen following Bekka typing her life into her phone for a phone novel titled : "Bek, and Better than ever!" In book three, Melody convinces Haylee to de-friend Bekka.
