Kieran Valentine

Valentine is mischievous and scheming, using his quick thinking and allusive façade to his advantage. Like most vampires, he is very arrogant and aristocratic, he sports a fake Southern accent and a masked personality to get what he wants. He is a suave romantic who, through sly schemes, may seem charming, which hides his true intentions. His real accent is a Transylvania accent. He often convinces girls he's created Valentine's Day just for them in order to win their hearts.

He is the son of emotional vampires with immense powers. He initially seems to be a self-centered, cruel person who enjoys playing a game of seducing girls, sometimes by hypnotism, and intentionally breaking their hearts to add to his "collection" to gain power. The only one to escape his influence, if only by coincidence, is Draculaura. A second attempt to obtain her heart resulted in him losing his entire collection and with it, all his powers. His appearance is notably handsome, and he speaks with a fake Southern accent, in times of great distress, has an adolescent sounding voice with no discernible accent. A lot of his initial personality is discussed in his diary as also being a put on, claiming he acted how he believed emotional vampires are supposed to.

Valentine is mischievous and scheming, using his quick thinking and allusive façade to his advantage. Like most vampires, he is very arrogant, aristocratic, and a suave romantic. He uses his alluring charms for his sly schemes, while hiding his true intentions to fill up his victims' heart full of love energy before "harvesting their heart" energy to strengthen his power. Over time, he formed a collection of literal broken hearts, keeping them on display in twin coffin shaped cabinets. He expressed guilt over the actions caused by this persona in his diary, stating self-hatred as a reason he refused to allow himself to be genuine.

Valentine reappeared in the comic book I Only Have Eye For You, where he appeared to have turned over a new leaf and, and attempted to help other monsters find romantic dates for the Fraidy Hawkins dance, and tried to make it up to Draculaura and Clawd Wolf by paying for their date. His efforts didn't quite succeed as he planned, but everyone ended up with a partner regardless.

Appearance

He has pale pink skin, shaggy black-brown hair with red stripes, and bright rosy eyes. His features are strikingly handsome, enough to make any monster girl fall in love with him. He also wears black eyeliner and gold stud earrings. His clothing is a combination of late Victorian, early Edwardian dress in reference to his crisp white cravat, winged collar dress shirt with ruffle cuffs, and his signature wide round-lapel blazer - embroidered with shimmering rose petals, a large stemmed rose on his right forearm sleeve, and a matching stemmed rose on his upper left lapel. The modern fashion pieces include his tight leather pants, gold hip chain, and black knee-high combat boots with gold heart-shaped ring boot harnesses.

As a vampire Kieran Valentine holds the powers of any other vampire:

Bat Transformation: It is assumed he has his vampire powers already, allowing him to turn into a vampire bat at will. Blood Drinking: Through his fangs, he can drink blood from human beings, like any other vampire. Immortality: Like all vampires he is immortal. Special Abilities

However, due to his sub-species, an emotional vampire, he possesses a fair number of abilities that are specifically over the matters of emotions, such as:

Hypnosis: With his rosy eyes, Valentine can force anyone, even other vampires, to believe they feel romantically attracted towards him. Misc. Love Spells: Kieran can do several love-related tricks, such as flashing a heart atmosphere, and summoning doves and bats out of thin air. It is possible that these powers are done through another form of hypnosis and illusion. Energy Leeching: All emotional vampires can feed off energy fueled by emotions. Love Extraction: Finally, Valentine can extract the love from any full heart, to fulfill his need for love.

Kieran lives in a mansion with his mother, who seems to be very protective of him. While Valentine likes to act like he's mature enough to act without her interference, he is not, and will look for her aid if he loses control of the situation. Additionally, it seems like the relationship is strained between the two due to his mother's indifference over her son's comfort by making him live in the garage to avoid the stink. The whereabouts of Valentine's father remain unknown. In 'I Only Have Eye for You', Kieran makes a comment about how 'my mom was right - I should stick to my strengths, like ruining love.' Implying that his mother knows of his wrongdoings and possibly encourages Kieran to keep 'seducing' girls.

Friends

Three Clouds are Valentine's constant companions and accomplices. They revel in the hurt Valentine causes, but aren't too bothered with laughing about their master's misery if the situation occurs.

During his time at Monster High, Valentine got along well with Toralei, who shared his propensity for cruelty, until he used her to shield himself from a splashing puddle. He is now friends with Djinni Grant, also known as Whisp.

Romance

400 years ago, he dated Draculaura, as mentioned by Draculaura in the beginning of "Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love?". Later, in the same special, the two got back together, with Valentine using his own natural charm at first, but later resorting to using his powers. He is most likely gay or at least bisexual
