who was introduced in the webisode "Scream Building," along with two other werecats, whose names are revealed in the newest diaries to be Purrsephone and Meowlody. Toralei, who hates to be rubbed the wrong way, is extremely catty and justifies her attitude by stating that it is her desire to see cause-and-effect. She was a fearleader until she and the rest of the fearleaders, except Frankie, grew tired of Cleo's perfectionism and quit. She later tries to rejoin, but is rejected. Cleo's most recent diary reveals that Toralei, Purrsephone, and Meowlody are on the squad because of the influence of her older sister, Nefera, who apparently keeps in touch with the trio after having graduated. Toralei's diary reveals why she harbors ill will towards Cleo; Toralei had helped Cleo practice her gymnastics skills to help her make the fearleading squad, which Cleo never thanked her for. To add insult to injury, Nefera named Cleo the new captain of the fearleading team over Toralei, who was expecting to be chosen. Despite her extreme dislike of Cleo, Toralei refuses to resort to using dirty tricks to ensure that her fearleading squad beats Cleo's in competition.

She had Toralei, Purrsephone, and Meowlody reinstated to the squad after they quit, and demands that Cleo keep them on. Nefera now works as a model, which only serves to further heighten Cleo's feelings of inferiority towards her. A Nefera doll was unveiled on July 23, at San Diego Comic-Con International 2011.

named Azura, the doll will be released in March 2012. She is voiced by Wendee Lee

At the end of the second novel, Melody learns from Manu, Cleo's father's aide, that she might be the daughter of Marina, a siren. This is confirmed at the end of the third novel. Melody develops the ability to persuade people to do whatever she asks with her voice. She also grows olive and blue feathers with gold tips. This inspires her to make a dress and jewelry out of them.
. Billy is the RAD who made Salem aware of the monster community after a 60 year hiatus of a RAD sighting. It's implied that his invisibility developed later in his life, similar to Heath's fire breathing. Billy, much like his predecessor, can only be seen if he wears clothing and make-up. Billy dresses up as Frankie to appease Bekka's demands to get Jackson's transformation video back. It fools Bekka, but fails to solve the problem thanks to Brett's poor timing. In "Where There's a Wolf, There's a Way," Candace helps Billy become visible with a spray-tan. Billy has a one-sided crush on Frankie. Near the ending of "Where There's a Wolf, There's a Way" Billy meets Spectra Vondergeist after she reveals she liked him since eighth grade.

Abbey Bominable
The 16-year-old daughter of the Yeti, Abbey is an exchange student from up north. She is described as a ghoul with white hair streaked with blue, purple, and pink and topped with a fuzzy headband. Her family is good friends with the Headless Headmistress Bloodgood; because of this, Abbey lives with Bloodgood while she attends Monster High. Her first webisode appearance is in "Back-to-Ghoul." Abbey's native language is Yetish and she can understand English fairly well. However, she has difficulty grasping slang terms. In the webisodes, she speaks with a Russian accent. Abbey's speech is very direct, which can and is often misinterpreted to be insensitive and mean. She explains that her style of speech is a function of her culture. Abbey is a sweet girl with a good sense of humor, but her height and strength tends to intimidate people. The Fearbook lists her as captain of the snowboarding team. In her diary, she writes about Heath Burns using corny pick-up lines to try to get a date with her. She takes pleasure in ignoring Heath, but decides that she will accept Heath's request for a date once he asks her properly. Her pet is a baby woolly mammoth whose name is Shiver.
