Headless Headmistress Bloodgood

Headless Headmistress Bloodgood, also known as Nora Bloodgood, is a character from the Monster High franchise.

Bloodgood is a headless horseman and the headmistress of Monster High. Two centuries ago, she was a young librarian just out of college herself when she took the bold step of applying for the job of headmistress of a school that would allow all monsters and humans involved in monster society to attend. Because few believed this would work, Bloodgood had little competition and was given the job. Defying expectations, she made Monster High work. In addition to her duties as headmistress, Bloodgood hosts classes like Trigular Calcometry 101 and is known for giving out tons of homework. Her faithful companion is her horse Nightmare, whom she rides even through the school halls and who sometimes acts as her secretary and she is the daughter of the headless horseman from the Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

In the AWA fics, Bloodgood is allies with the All Worlds Alliance.

Appearance
Based on the Headless Horseman, Bloodgood has short black hair with purple streaks throughout it, silver-ish eyes, and pale skin.

Her choice of clothing resembles the pre-Victorian fashions of the late 1820s (not coincidentally, around the time that "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was published). She wears a purple frock coat, a white frilled shirt and red cravat, black trousers and black riding boots. Her lips are a dark purple-red and she wears purple eyeshadow. And she has black and purple hair in a tight bun, but in her artwork and in the webisodes, she sports her black hair with purple streaks all worn down.

Personality
Headless Headmistress Bloodgood is your typical favourite teacher. She loves her job and her school, and adores her students, but duty makes her be strict at times, yet she knows what's best for her students. She enforces the rules and expects the highest of respect. She values education and acceptance above everything, the thing that brought her close to Monster High.

However, she can be shown to have a good sense of humor and has been used for comic relief more than one time, being kind of a scatterbrain too.

Although she is generally fair, her punishments are quite brutal, such as eternal homework or cleaning duty.
