Characters[edit]
Oskar: Oskar is the main protagonist of the series. Oskar is often seen as the hero and is one of the students at the school. Count von Horrificus is his uncle, but it is unknown if the count is his mother’s brother or his father’s brother. Oskar tries to be a great student, but unfortunately he has a fear of blood. He is still able however to change into a vampire bat like his friends and often visits the human girl Sunshine because he has a crush on her and she feels the same. However, Sunshine doesn’t know he’s a vampire, as she is a skeptic, although she did turn into a vampire herself for a while. His name may be based on the character Oskar from the vampire novel and movie, Let The Right One In.(voice by Eve Morey).
Stoker: Stoker is rather an anti-hero and a troublemaker to the Vampire Academy. He is often getting himself or his friends into trouble and suffers from the most bad luck than anyone else in the series. His name is obviously a pun of Bram Stoker, the author for the popular novel of Dracula. Stoker looks the most stereotypical of his vampire friends, since he looks like Count Dracula and loves blood. He has a one-sided crush on Gothetta. In the English dub, he speaks with a Cockney accent. (voice by Keith Scott).
Leechy: Leechy is a child prodigy, often very intelligent and making inventions for his friends. He is seen to be very close with Oskar, and had a crush on Professor Oxford’s young relative, Ravena. He dresses and acts like a stereotypical nerd. (voice by Danielle Baynes).
Klot: Klot is the youngest vampire and is often confused for a girl by certain people, he even dresses a little like Madeline and has a high-pitched voice. Klot also believes in the Fang Fairy (voice by Sarah Aubrey).
Gothetta: the only girl vampire in the school, and the most level-headed. She is a skilled botanist. Gothetta gets into trouble herself at times, but isn’t as bad as Stoker. Many fans usually prefer her and Oskar to be a couple in spite of Oskar’s crush on Sunshine. Gothetta is also as smart as Leechy (only not as nerdy) and is often seen as a big sister figure to Klot. She has long curly red hair in a ponytail with the sides of her head shaved. In the English dub, she speaks with somewhat of a “Valley Girl” accent. (voice by Di Adams).
Ashley: Once a young vampire like the others, but was exposed to sun, resulting him to be a talking, sentient, immobile pile of dust. Ashley often speaks about his vampire life and that he was the best one in all the land where he comes from. Ashley also often tells everyone things they should know about others, like why Lenny was upset for a while. His name acts as a pun, since he is an ash pile. He can be seen as a sort of comedy relief. As a vampire, he had red hair and wore green clothes. (voice by Jane U’Brien).
Lenny: The school’s custodian. He is very protective of the students (especially when Sunshine’s grandfather tries to kill them). Unlike them, he was bitten by a vampire, not born as one. He speaks with a British accent and strongly resembles Riff Raff from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Ravena: A female vampire whom Leechy has a crush on. She is related to Professor Oxford. She has black hair in a bun and somewhat resembles Mina from the Dracula franchise by the way she dresses.
Professor Oxford: A vampire teacher and a relative of Ravena. He looks similar to Count Orlock from Nosferatu.
Sunshine Polidori: A female human whom Oskar has a crush on. She may be called Sunshine because of her blond hair. When she turned into a vampire, she had black hair and was called Moonshadow. Sunshine is a skeptic and is unaware that Oskar is a vampire. Her grandfather is a vampire hunter. However, it became Moonlight, but then it turns into a girl thanks to Oskar and his friends.
Paulus Polidori: Sunshine’s grandfather, who is a vampire hunter. Even though he is not a skeptic like Sunshine, he is also unaware of the fact that Oskar is a vampire. He has a brother who is a skeptic, but even though Sunshine is also a skeptic, she demands that her grandfather be treated with respect. His brother eventually becomes a believer when Gothetta and Stoker change into bats and scare him.
Paulus is often thought of as a “crackpot.”
Count von Horrificus: Oskar’s uncle. He resembles the Hellsing character Alucard.

Batoria: Gothetta’s cousin who looks like a stereotypical goth. She’s friends with Stoker. Her name is a parody of Countess Bathory.
Fan Characters
Wren: Wren is Lenny’s eight year old niece from his late-sister, Morticia. Wren joins the school after the burning of her mother at the stake for witchcraft and is teased mercilessly by Stoker for being a witch from her mother’s side. Though Wren and Stoker butt heads, they become friends later on and Wren has a crush on him, finding his jokes and pranks funny while they annoy everyone else. Wren tends to think of her friends like family as she didn’t have friends at her old school, often telling scary stories to Klot, being a girlfriend to Gothetta, but is often bored from Leechy’s study time. Wren also strongly prefers her uncle over her father as Lenny acts more paternal toward her than her real father ever did. She is also a Goth.
Festorina “Fou” Fang: A new teacher in the school who came from a family of circus people. Fou is often served as a love interest for Lenny as they both have crushes on each other and express it. Fou also loves to tease the little vampires sometimes and gives them homework with a teasing smile. Due to her closeness with Lenny, Wren often calls her “Auntie Fou”.
Morticia: Lenny’s deceased younger sister. Lenny and Morticia grew up living alone together after their parents are threatened to be burnt and drowned for their witchcraft, leaving Lenny to run away with Morticia and raise her as they were now orphans. A while after Morticia and Lenny grew up, Lenny traveled the world looking for a job while Morticia went to another part of the world, looking for a husband or boyfriend of sorts. Morticia then announced she had found a mortal man named Durwhood, an allusion to Bewitched, and became pregnant with Wren. Sometime after Durwhood found out Morticia was a witch, he was the one who had people come to burn her and kill her after Wren moves into the school with her uncle, Morticia is then reincarnated into a kitten which Wren adopts when she goes to the Witch School after feeling isolated from the others at the vampire school.
