Twyla Boogeyman (G3)

Despite the creepy reputation boogey monsters hold in the monster community, Twyla is everything but. She's sweet and shy and likes to be helpful. Furthermore, Twyla is autistic, and part of her condition is sensory sensitivity. She's easily startled by loud noises and often wears noise-canceling headphones in the form of cobwebs. Without them, she turns into a shadow.

Before the Boo Crew's creepover party at the library, Twyla preferred to live in the shadows, away from the other students. But her new friendship with Draculaura, Clawdeen and Frankie helped her come out of her shell. Twyla loves to read and is always excited to learn something new.

Twyla was afraid of growing up, as she feared that meant becoming a different person and giving up what she loves, but with the support of her friends and Mr. Mothmanson, Twyla realized that she doesn’t have to change who she is and that she can still be who she wants to be when she grows up.
