Mona Parker (Mona the Vampire)

• Mona, the show's main protagonist, is a young girl with a vivid imagination. She believes her hometown is overrun with supernatural monsters and she plans to stop them all and save the town on a daily basis. Her alter ego, Mona the Vampire has a "vampire sense" which tingles every time there is something foul in the air. Together with her two friends Princess Giant and Zapman, they solve some unlikely mysteries. She dislikes cleaning her bedroom and would rather be battling her arch nemesis, Von Kreepsula. Mona has a cat named Fang, who is her trusted sidekick. She has a talent for breaking spells.

Fang

• Mona's pet cat and sidekick that she ties unreal wings around (probably to make him look like a bat). Fang is her accomplice in the nether realms of her imagination. Most important of all, he is Mona's sounding-board and confidante, always by her side, ready and willing to follow her anywhere, anytime, no questions asked. And the fact that he can't talk back makes him the perfect sidekick. Positively gregarious, he's as keen as Mona when it comes to setting out on adventure.

Mr. and Mrs. Parker

• Mr. and Mrs. Parker are Mona's loving parents. Mrs. Parker is a moral force to be reckoned with, while Mr. Parker is more light-hearted and has an imagination like Mona, and allows her to continue her fantasy life.

Charley Bones (Zapman)

• Charley is Mona's best friend. He wears glasses, and is an intelligent but scared boy in real life. His alter ego is Zapman, who wears a green costume and is armed with a deadly Zapp-A-Rama Gun (a water pistol in reality). Charley is bullied by George at school, but has stood up to him once or twice. Charley has fallen prey to some of Mona's foes including the Nefarious Computer Virus and a Siren (defeated by Mona, who was cast as Athena
  Athena
  In Greek mythology, Athena, Athenê, or Athene , also referred to as Pallas Athena/Athene , is the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, warfare, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, justice, and skill. Minerva, Athena's Roman incarnation, embodies similar attributes. Athena is...

  ' adventures). Charlie knows a lot about science. Although he, like his friends, has a strong imagination he often needs Mona's help initially to see the "Strange things" suggesting he is slightly more grounded to reality although he is normally convinced unless the plot requires him to be a victim of the villain, when he usually ignores his friends. His hero is a daredevil known as the Man With Nine Lives, who he saves from being killed thanks to the Menacing Mechanical Gremlins. Always ready for action as his alter ego Zapman, Charley is the friend of Mona's most likely to get into as much trouble as she does.

Lily Duncan (Princess Giant)

• Lily is Mona's second best friend. Before she was a quiet, shy girl who had her hair covering her eyes. She soon became Princess Giant, a braver and stronger version of Lily. Lily once fell in love with a cartoon character. She has also been in troubling situations such as when Frankenstein was going to transplant her brain.

Angela Smith

• Angela is Mona's snob in the series. Often, Angela boasts about her wealth to her classmates and often enlists George in her schemes to cause problems for Mona. Her parents won the lottery.

George Dumol

• A school bully who refers to Mona, Lily and Charley as a "bunch of babies in Halloween costumes" and picks on Charley most of the time but is not that tough when confronted. He is often seen with Angela. Not only is he a bully, but he's also a tattletale extraordinaire. If there is mischief occurring to which he is not a party or if students haven't done their homework, George is there to tell Ms. Gotto. George is thick, mean, and like all successful bullies, he has a preference for bullying those smaller than him. Worst of all, his tattling has made him the Principal's pet, so the Principal won't lift a finger to discipline him. That and the fact that he is Principal Shawbly's nephew.

Officer Halcroft

• The chief of local police. He's become used to Mona's antics, and is quick to offer a more rational explanation to Mona's stories, which, ironically, Mona finds rather outlandish and unbelievable.

Belinda

• Mona's babysitter. Mona thinks that she's a robot. In reality, she just knows a lot about robots and is a very nice person, who, on several occasions, helps Mona due to being good at controlling younger kids. Belinda is about fourteen years old and is teenaged.

Principal Shawbly

• The stern Principal of St. Faith's elementary. He has no time for Mona's weird behaviour and is quick to discipline her.

Madeleine Gotto

• Mona's teacher. She is very stern, she has a habit of falling in love easily. She is often exasperated by Mona's strange ideas and arguments for supernatural occurrences which are ordinary events.

Von Kreepsula

• Mona's arch-nemesis. He is actually only a comic character who has supposedly had a duel with Mona, who sealed him into the comic book. He appeared twice in the show, once in the second episode when Charley accidentally left his comic book prison in the rain and let the ink run, thus freeing him (although he was "defeated and sealed" by Mona again). The second is in episode twenty-six, when Mona's little cousin took a bite off the book and freeing him again.

Writing

The writing of each episode remains fairly consistent. Something odd happens in the real world, and Mona puts a supernatural explanation to it. This would most likely be very repetitive, if not for the originality and creativity of the storyline and the fact that the target audience consisted of children.

The layout of the program tends to start with an insight of what happened in real life. Then an 'imagination scene' with the children explains the storyline further, and then it switches back to real life to explain even further. This pattern continues, until the story comes to a climax, which is nearly always an 'imagination scene'. Then the denouement is often a real life scene, explaining what happened in reality throughout the episode, although, often Mona would find something to argue against the case (e.g. revealing a dinosaur shaped footprint in the soil)
Also an episode of attacked aliens
