Rochelle Goyle

Rochelle Goyle is Venus McFlytrap best friend. She is a gargoyle from Scaris and is voiced by Erin Fitzgerald.

Personality
Rochelle is from Scaris, France. She occupied a roof near a great cathedral. For most of her life, her social atmosphere has been occupied solely by other gargoyles, which began to displease her as she reached adolescence. Unlike most other gargoyles she knows, who are content to minimize what they learn of the world in order to never feel like they are missing out, Rochelle wants to know all there is to know and chose Monster High as her stepping stone after several years of considering the pros and cons. Her parents, who are supportive of her, approve of her decision.

Rochelle is an aggressive individual. Even little things can provoke her into a confrontation that might not be the better solution. This aggression most often presents itself when one of Rochelle's family or friends is at risk of being harmed. Rochelle is fiercely protective of her loved ones and will go far to keep them safe. But while well-meant, it isn't always appreciated, because Rochelle's protectiveness sometimes denies her loved ones their own autonomy. Rochelle doesn't mean to do this though, and has trouble coping when the realization of her error hits her.

Physical Appearance
She seems to have taste in combining modern chic with older, classical elements, much like Draculaura. She has long, pink hair with pale teal streaks running through it. Her face is very animal-like, complete with striking, large pink eyes. On her back are tiny, stone wings, and on top of her head are horn-like ears. Her skin is also speckled, giving it a stone-like appearance. She has bright pink lipstick with grey and light pink eye makeup.

Classic Monster
Rochelle is a living gargoyle. Gargoyles, also known as grotesques, (since the word "gargoyle" in architecture refers exclusively to those statues designed to help the water flow from the off rooftops,) became a part of the cultural monster line-up in the '90s. Two of the most influential pieces of fiction to use grotesques/gargoyles were the 1994 series, Gargoyles, and the 1996 movie, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, both Disney owned titles.
