10: Jane Boolittle:
This is the one that no one expected to see on this list. As a matter of fact, it's hard to expect to see her anywhere. Crabgrass has informed me that the ghoul has succeeded in attending classes without anyone getting so much as a glimpse of her. Impressive, I must admit. But not as impressive as I am.
The ghoul is clueless to her scaritage, (this monster slang is beginning to rub off on me) which is as much a bad thing as it is a good thing for me. It's a good thing in that, if the ghoul does have some recessive abilities, she is unaware of them. It is a bad thing because, again, if she happens to have some recessive abilities they could manifest unexpectedly. In other words, I do not like what I cannot prepare for. But enough on the unknown, let's take a look at what we do know.
What realy places this ghoul where she is, is the ability to communicate with any and all creatures in the animalia kingdom, or at least learn their language. It is unclear as of yet if this is a skill acquired from living her life in a jungle or if it is an inherited trait. Either way, doesn't matter. What does matter is that this obscure ability grants the ghoul significant power. Communication is one of the most powerful tools known to man or monster, and Jane Boolittle is one of the very few who can talk with animals. This gives her a wealth of resources such as unsuspectable spies and lookouts. Much like the way I use Crabgrass to do my dirty work- ahem- I mean fieldwork, this ghoul can send out her various animal minions. The animals do retain their free of will, but they usually seem inclined to help her. It is unlikely for an animal to choose not to help her unless its allegiance is to another. And I mean its real allegiance. Trained allegiance by a forceful hand can be easily undone.
As mentioned earlier, this child is extremely stealthy. Unlike the Boogie ghoul, this is purely skill, not magic. She seems to have attained a thorough knowledge of the entire school's ventilation system and every quick exit or hide-away. To be frank, I'm surprised she wasn't listed in the new 'Disappearing Club' file. I am also fairly certain that she is at least semi-familiar with the catacombs below the school. It's hard to say for certain due to Crabgrass's struggles with tracking her.
I'd say that they child's timidness is her greatest limiting factor; she has all the courage of a field mouse. To be reasonable, if face to face against another monster she would be relatively defenceless.
She does pose a problem to me. Her attentiveness to her surroundings means that Crabgrass and I must be extremely cautious. It is ten times as likely for Jane to become suspicious of us than the boogie ghoul.
AN: Thank you to those who took the time to review! It is greatly appreciated and a wonderful moral boost.
To answer the question about why Hexicia is a human among monsters, it is actually revealed that he is not entirely normie. He has an obscure monster ancestor which is why he has lived for so long.
Hmm... I'v never seen a peer use the 'and' icon before...
Thank you again!
Till Next Time,
