Premise

Vampirina follows the story of Vampirina "Vee" Hauntley who becomes the new kid on the block after she and her family move from Transylvania to Pennsylvania to open a local bed and breakfast called the Scare B&B for visiting ghouls (including vampires^[3]) and goblins. The Hauntley family have to learn to do things the "Pennsylvania way," especially when Vee is at school, all while keeping their monster lives a secret from humans so they don't scare them.

Characters

Main

• Vampirina "Vee" Hauntley (voiced by Isabella Crovetti) ^[4] is a physically 8-year-old vampire, but biologically near 200 years old as stated in "Countess Vee". Unlike in the books, in the TV adaptation she and her family have blue skin and super-speed.^[5] She is the lead singer and spookylele player of her band, the Ghoul Girls.
• Oxana and Boris Hauntley (voiced by Lauren Graham and James Van Der Beek)^[4] are Vee's parents who are the proprietors of the Scare B&B.
• Demi Hauntley (voiced by Mitchell Whitfield) is a blue ghost who lives with the Hauntleys. He is Vee and Gregoria's sidekick.
• Gregoria^[4] (voiced by Wanda Sykes) is a 473-year-old gargoyle who is Vee's sidekick.
• Poppy Peepleson (voiced by Jordan Alexa Davis) is Edgar's sister and Edna's daughter who is Vee's best friend. She is the first human who discovers Vee's true identity, but promises not to tell anyone. She's the drummer and the youngest of the Ghoul Girls. She is 8-years-old. In "Double Double Halloween Trouble", she and her family are revealed to be Hispanic. Her first name is probably chosen as a reference to Gothic author Billy Martin's pen name Poppy Z. Brite (cf. her brother's first name being that of Edgar Allan Poe).
• Bridget (voiced by ViviAnn Yee) is a very shy and nervous girl who is another one of Vee's friends. She also soon discovers Vee's identity, and like Poppy, promises to keep it secret. She has a pet Sphynx cat named Miss Cuddlecakes. She's the bassist and the smartest of the Ghoul Girls. She is also 9-years-old. She is revealed to be partly Jewish in "Double Double Halloween Trouble".
• Edgar Peepleson (voiced by Benji Risley) is Poppy's brother and Edna's son who is Vee's friend. He is a monster enthusiast and runs a vlog called "Weekly Weirdness". In the Season 2 finale episode "Ghoul Guides Save the Day!", he finally learns Vee's secret of her family being vampires, and the fact that monsters are actually real when he visits Vee's home town, Transylvania for the first time. However, just like Poppy and Bridget, he promises not to tell anyone. He is the percussionist and twin member of the Ghoul Girls. He is 8-years-old. Similarly to his sister, Edgar's first name is probably chosen as a reference to a Gothic author - namely Edgar Allan Poe.

Supporting

• Wolfie Hauntley (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) is a purple dog who is the Hauntley's house pet. He can assume a werewolf-like form during a full moon or by drinking milk.
• Penelope is a plant monster who is the Hauntley's house pet.
• Chef Remy Bones (voiced by Ian James Corlett) is a skeleton who is the head chef of the Scare B&B. He speaks with a French accent.

Recurring
