Мэйвис Дракула (Mavis Dracula) — вампирша, дочь Дракулы. Она очень любознательная и добрая.
РАННЯЯ ЖИЗНЬ[]
Мэйвис единственная и горячо любимая дочь графа Дракулы и Марты. Она родилась 28 сентября 1895 года. Вскоре после рождения у Мэйвис случилась трагедия. На уютный домик семейства напали крестьяне и сожгли его. В этом огне мать девочки погибла. По завету жены, Дракула отстроил огромный особняк, огороженный от мира непроходимыми лесами, привидениями, зомби, гробами и прочей нечистью, в котором открыл гостиницу свободную от людей «Отель Трансильвания».
Милая Мэйвис, как и отец, уродилась вампиром, с острыми зубами и способностью, по желанию, оборачиваться летучей мышью. Как и Дракула, она не пила человеческую кровь, а питалась витаминными заменителями крови. И как все вампиры, не переносила солнечный свет, поэтому вела исключительно ночной образ жизни.
Когда гостиница была построена, Мэйвис с отцом переехали в неё, наняли персонал. И раз в год, на день рождения дочки, Дракула созывал гостей.
[МОНСТРЫ НА КАНИКУЛАХ ==
19 век. 1895 год.]
Дракула прилетает домой. На балконе он оборачивается из летучей мыши в человека. Граф тихонько пробирается к кровати дочери и, резко вынырнув из темноты, произносит: «Я тебя съем!», отчего Мэйвис пугается и начинает плакать во всю. Дракула говорит, что не хотел её пугать, напевает несколько строчек и девочка сразу успокаивается.
Затем граф меняет дочери подгузник.
Мэйвис окружена заботой отца: он играет с ней в догонялки, читает сказки, поет песенки, учит обращаться в летучую мышь и летать.
Вскоре Дракула выполняет обещание, данной Марте, и вместе с Мэйвис переезжает в отель Трансильвания.
Проходят годы. На дворе 21 век. Мэйвис исполняется 118 лет.
Когда к Мэйвис пришел Дракула, чтобы поздравить, та намекает, что она уже вполне взрослая и может покинуть пределы отеля, чтобы пообщаться с людьми. И она очень удивилась, когда отец дал своё согласие. Быстро собравшись, Мэйвис собирается лететь в Парадиз, о котором она узнала из карточки Дракулы. Но граф останавливает её, указывая, что внизу её
ждут гости. Мэйвис оборачивается в летучую мышь и садится на чемодан, она мечтает познакомиться с кем-нибудь её возраста. Дракула предлагает ей слетать в близлежащую деревню, что для первого раза будет достаточно. Мэйвис радуется и, обняв отца, собирается улетать. Но тут в комнату врываются Фрэнк, Мумий, Вольфыч, Ванда и Гриффин.
Фрэнк интересуется, ждет ли Мэйвис чего-то особенного, на что она отвечает, что Дракула отпустил её посмотреть человеческую деревню. Все шокированы. Внезапно появляется Юнис, жена Фрэнка, и начинает отчитывать Дракулу за его решение. Мэйвис говорит, что ничего не поняла и просит повторить. Каждый рекомендует своё средство защиты. Юная вампирша прыгает в окно, обернувшись мышкой.
Она пролетает кладбище и видит деревню, улицы которой совершенно пустые. Спустившись на землю, Мэвис окликает людей, но безуспешно.
Наконец, она видит в витрине магазина манекены. Она представляется. Внезапно появляется толпа агрессивных людей, вооруженных до зубов; на самом деле это были зомби. Они окружили её. Стали махать вилами, факелами и чесноком. Мэйвис пыталась их успокоить, однако те были непреклонны. Один из зомби воткнул вилы другому в голову, тот, в свою очередь, поджог всю толпу. Мэйвис стало очень неприятно. Поняв, что отец был прав, она улетела назад в отель.

Mavis is a female given name, derived from a name for the common Old World song thrush. Its first modern usage was in Marie Corelli’s 1895 novel The Sorrows of Satan, which featured a character named Mavis Clare (whose name was said to be «rather odd but suitable», as «she sings quite as sweetly as any thrush»[1]). The name was long obsolete by the 19th century, but known from its poetic use, as in Robert Burns’s 1794 poem Ca’ the Yowes («Hark the mavis evening sang/Sounding Clouden’s woods amang»);[2] and in the popular love song «Mary of Argyle» (c.1850), where lyricist Charles Jefferys wrote, «I have heard the mavis singing its love-song to the morn.»[3]
Mavis had its height of popularity between the 1920s and 1940s. Its usage declined thereafter, and it has been rather unfashionable since the 1960s.[4]
