Kipling

Kipling is a character from the Monster High franchise.

Kipling is a human with deformed, elephant-like ears, for which he has suffered much of his life. The first person not to reject him upon sight was Bartleby Farnum, which is how Kipling came to be his assistant. Farnum, however, exploited Kipling's fragile sense of self to control him completely, convincing him no one else would ever give him a chance. It wasn't until his mid-teens that Kipling came into contact with people who helped him see through the abuse and leave Farnum.

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

Appearance
Kipling is a corpulent human boy with blond hair and blue eyes. His ears are shaped like that of an elephant's, which is why for much of his life he has worn a sack over his head.

Personality
Kipling is the quintessential gentle giant. He is large, strong and with his bag-mask obscuring his face, he is an intimidating apparition, but he is not at all dangerous. Kipling is a meek, soft-voiced fellow who's reluctant to cause harm and convinced that his presence is a bother to others. The only times he could be moved to use violence is when someone with influence over him orders him to or when he sees that nice people are in need of protection.
