Mona the Vampire

Flopii

BBC Two

Mystery solving adventures about a ten year-old vampire, Mona, who investigates weird and strange goings-on, with her group of friends and Fang, her cat.

Mona Parker: 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.

Charley Bones: Charley is Mona's best friend. 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 in the school production of Odysseus' adventures). Charlie knows a lot about science. 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: 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 snooty rival 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 tattle-tale 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 Miss Grotto. George is pushy. He's nasty. 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 Principle won't lift a finger to discipline him. That and the fact that he is Principal Shawbly's nephew.

Fang: Mona's pet cat and sidekick that she ties fake 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 adventures. However, when things take a ghoulish turn, he tends to be the first one ducking for cover under the nearest sofa. Besides solving mysteries, filching table scraps, and having Mona hairstyle him in the latest coif, Fang is one of those rare cats who enjoys swimming a few lengths at the local pool - much to the chagrin of the lifeguard on duty.

Mona's Parents: 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.

Principal Shawbly: The stern Principal of St. Faith's elementary.

Madeleine Gotto: Mona's teacher. She has a habit of falling in love easily.

Mrs Bryerson: Mona's Eldery neighbour. Has a Poodle named Blitzy.

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.

Lawrence: One of Mona's Classmates.

Mayor Rosenbaum: The town's bumbling Mayor.

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 Charlie 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.

Robin: A new boy in Mona's school who has a nose shaped like a bird's beak and known as "bird boy" by Angela and George, who enjoy insulting him. He can control birds to attack people.
