Even comics can't resist, as The DCU now has its own line of various female characters going to high school (in all fairness however, DC was pushing for that to happen even well before Batman Beyond was created- but likely went ahead now thanks to other similar lines being successful). Granted, the merchandise is another Mattel property, not another company. Midnight Magic, a line of multi-colored witch dolls found mostly at discount stores, and a slew of various bootlegs and copycats coming from China. Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Pretty much every character is from a foreign country (mainly Europe), and the voice actors give them American accents, though Lagoona is given more of an Australian accent.

A detail that almost made it: Posea's animation model and artwork have gills on her face, but this feature never made it past the physical doll's prototype. The Monster High doll collection can be broken up into categories – and when it’s broken up into categories, it’s easier for buyers (and players) to understand what each doll is supposed to be comprised of. January 2, 2013: A Japanese online survey containing a preview photo of Gigi Grant comes to the attention of the fandom. It also reveals that her name is Gigi.

Fake Nationality: Pretty much every character. Technically averted with Stephanie Sheh as Jinafire Long, as she is American, but of Taiwanese descent. Descendants is Disney's answer to both this line and Ever After High, focusing on the offspring of Disney Animated Canon characters and specifically toplining the ones who have villainous ancestry. As it launched in 2015 and Mattel handled the toyline, some fans of either or both prior franchises believe that this was a factor in their being discontinued over 2017-18. While the extent of this is unknown, it is known that the franchise's popularity was a factor in Disney selling the Disney Princess and Frozen licenses to Mattel's rivals at Hasbro. The CGI art on Kiyomi's box gives her a pink hair accessory and silver chain earrings similar to her belt. The doll itself has a sea green hair accessory and simulated pierced ears, but no earrings.

Her relationship with her family is unknown, but she is the daughter of the Genie or Djinni. She mentions of having a father, but there is no information regarding Gigi's mother. It is possible she was born without one. Gigi, regardless of the events that occurred, also still claims Whisp as her sister. Draculaura in Welcome To Monster High has a right forearm's worth of bangles, a punk multicolor-studded bracelet on her left arm, and tights under her dress. These are not present on her doll. Also from this movie, Moanica's boots have more detail in their painting and her belt is different. For the Generation 3 animated series, Frankie is nonbinary and voiced by iris menas, who is also nonbinary.

Gigi's lantern was found by Howleen, and when Whisp tried to take control over her, her friends found every piece of the magic mirror, stopping Whisp. Howleen's last wish released Gigi from her lantern, so she could stay at Monster High and make Whisp the lantern's new genie. She now studies at Monster High and makes an effort to adapt to the world outside. Boo York, Boo York is the only G1 line to include dolls of every standard body size (little sister, standard, big sister, and male.) Since the stand design is new, it is also the only line with a different stand and all of the body types. Gigi emphasizes in her profile that all her time spent in her lantern makes her claustrophobic. Also, in her diary, she shares how lonely she gets when she is trapped inside her lantern. She is still adapting to the real world (outside the lantern) and is afraid of her surroundings, mostly because she is afraid of the unknown. Her genie nature also makes her very loyal and helpful, which sometimes turns against her when people abuse her power, and she is forced to obey. She is capable of making new friendships easily, but only when totally comfortable with it.
