Mavis Dracula-Loughran, or simply Mavis, is the deuteragonist of the Hotel Transylvania franchise.
She is the 118 (later 126)-year old daughter of Dracula. She is also the love interest and later wife of Jonathan and the mother of Dennis.
She is voiced by Selena Gomez in all of her film appearances (including the short film Puppy!), who also portrayed Alex Russo in the Wizards of Waverly Place franchise. While she was younger, she was voiced by Sadie Sandler in the first feature-length film and Victoria Gomez in Hotel Transylvania: Transformania.
In the TV series, she is voiced by Bryn McAuley. In the video game adaptations, she was voiced by Melissa Sturm.
Personality[]
Mavis is gentle, headstrong, intelligent, curious, dramatic, and independent. She has a little bit of an attitude, but she is very sincere and gentle. An innocent, wholesome, soft-spoken, and amiable person.
Mavis wants a little bit of independence and trust from her father, and often gets bored. She dreams of exploring the world and experiencing all the sights and sounds that the world has to offer, but all that becomes a reality when she meets Jonathan and, unknowingly, falls in love with a human.
She is also always willing to help someone out, even if her own life is in danger. Proof of that is when she was at the "human" village.
After all the threats the pitchfork-armed, torch-wielding "humans" made of burning her clothes, taking her candy, biting her toes, and even shoving garlic bread in her face, she still offered her help when the "humans" were on fire. She said "Holy rabies! You're on fire. Can I do anything? Can I help you?"
In the second film, after becoming a mother, Mavis begins to adopt some of her father's overprotectiveness and attachment to her child, going so far as to baby-proof everything in the hotel, never leaving his side and wanting to move to California in order for her son to grow up in a safe environment and around other children like him.
Unlike her father, she doesn't seem to care that Dennis isn't a full vampire and accepts him for who he is even standing up to people who she assumes are prejudicing him for being a hybrid.
Physical Appearance[]
Mavis has pale skin, beautiful blue eyes and short jet black hair with bangs. She wears a black turtleneck dress with long black fingerless lace gloves, black and red striped tights and red Converse.
She also wears black lipstick matched with black nail polish and dark eyeshadow.
For her 118th birthday party, she sewed together all her black cloaks to make a large one.
On her wedding day, she wore a black wedding dress with spider web design on the chest and a red jewel pendant. She also wore a thin, silver tiara and a sparkling spider web veil. Mavis carried a bouquet of black flowers and had long lacy black gloves on.
In Summer Vacation, she sports a plain black swimsuit when in the pool or scuba-diving, and a short black dress with large purple flowers on it, and a matching band for a belt around the waist. She also wears a pair of salmon-colored flip-flops and a purple flower in her hair. At the cruise party, she has glow in the dark colorful bands around her neck and on her wrists.
Relationships[]
Family[]
- Dracula - Mavis and her father don't always see eye to eye sometimes but at the end of the day, they love each other and Mavis understands her dad is just trying to protect her.

- Dennis - Mavis cares for her son very much and will protect him from anything. She's excited to tell her father she's pregnant but his assumpation that the child will be a vampire irritated her slightly. After the birth, Mavis didn't let Dennis out of her sight for a good five years and had her dad baby-proof the entire hotel. She fully accepted the fact that Dennis showed no signs of being a vampire and Dracula's countless attempts to turn the child into a vampire angered her, eventually forcing Mavis to consider moving to California. Nevertheless, Mavis is overjoyed Dennis turns out to be a vampire and the family live happily in the Hotel.
Romance[]
- Jonathan - Mavis and Jonathan instantly felt something for each other the first time they saw each other and getting to know each other only made their feelings stronger. When Mavis finds out Jonathan is a human, she is disappointed, not because he's a human, but because he lied. When he is ordered to leave, she realizes how much he meant to her and thinks they might have zinged and tries to convince him to stay. Her heart is broken when Jonathan lies, for Dracula's sake, that he hates monsters and leaves. When Jonathan comes back and tells her that she's his zing and the reason why he lied, all is resolved, they became a happy couple and traveled the world together.
