Kieran Valentine

Kieran Valentine is a character from the Monster High franchise.

Kieran is a son of emo (emotional) vampires with immense powers and a narcissistic, cruel personality that make him dangerous to be around. He plays a sick game of seducing girls, sometimes by hypnotism, and then intentionally breaking their hearts to add to his "collection", which makes him gradually grow stronger. The only one who ever escaped his influence, if only by coincidence, is Draculaura. A second attempt to obtain her heart even resulted in him losing his entire collection and with that all his powers. His appearance is notably handsome, and he speaks with a fake Southern accent even though his real voice is a Transylvanian accent. Valentine likes to act like a smooth and in-control gentleman, but when in trouble, all he'll do is cry for his mother.

In the AWA fics, Kieran is a student at the AWA Academy.

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 a diamond stud earring. His clothing choice appears to be that of traditional vampires from the AD time period.

Personality
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.

Recently, 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 by paying for their date. His efforts didn't quite succeed as he planned, but everyone ended up with a partner regardless.

Abilities
As a vampire he holds the powers of a regular vampire:
 * Bat Transformation: It is assumed he has his vampire powers already, allowing him to turn into a vampire bat at will.


 * Blood Sucking: Through his fangs he can suck blood from human beings, like any other vampire.

Special Abilities
However, due to his sub-species, an emotional vampire, he holds a lot of powers over the matters of emotions, such as:
 * Hypnosis: With his rosy eyes, Valentine can force anyone, even other vampires, to feel romantically attracted towards him, even if consent isn't given.


 * Misc. Love Spells: Valentine can do several love-related tricks, such as flashing a heart atmosphere.


 * X-Ray Glasses: With his special sunglasses, Valentine can analyse the heart of anybody, which he usually does to check out if his victim's hearts are filled with love or not.
 * Energy Leeching: All emotional vampires can feed off life energy.

Unlike vampires in folklore, he seems to have a penchant for roses (roses are typically used to keep vampires away, as the thorns attach to their clothes and placing a rose on a vampire’s coffin may deter the vampire from waking). This may or may not be part of his deal of a romantic monster as an emotional vampire. He is often seen holding a rose, has a rose embroidered on his jacket, and his family keeps a rose garden.
 * Love Extraction: Finally, Valentine can extract the love from any full heart, to fulfill his need of love.

Skillset

 * X-Ray Glasses: The use of his x-ray glasses may or may not be a skill-set, as probably anyone can use them the way he does, as a special device.

Trivia

 * Though Valentine has the charms to catch the interest of most girls and the hypnotic powers to grab the interest of the rest, Valentine used to be only interested in them for their hearts. 400 years ago, he once dated Draculaura, the part where Draculaura told the story to the girls in "Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love?", and once dated her again in said special after he used his hypnosis on her to be attracted to him and not Clawd Wolf. It is unknown if he is attracted to Whisp, or if he just sees her as a friend.
 * In the AWA fics, Kieran's fate has changed after having a talk with Chizuru Tachibana.
 * In the AWA fics, Kieran is dating Polly Geist.
