Mina and The Count / Characters

Vlad "The Count"

A vampire who befriends a little girl named Mina.

Dark Is Not Evil: He is a vampire with blue skin and a black cape, but is also a good guy, especially because of how loyal he is to Mina.
Defrosting Ice King: His experience with Mina in the first short turns him into this.
Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: After befriending Mina, he becomes a more or less harmless vampire whose only concern is for Mina's well-being.
Even Evil Has Standards: In the first short he goes to Mina's house intending to drink the blood of "Nina Parker, Age 17". On realizing he's instead gone to the home of "Mina Harper, Age 7", he sends her back to bed. Even when Mina's clinginess causes him problems getting a meal, the count never resorts to anything worse than trying to shake her off.
Intergenerational Friendship: He is around 700 years old, while Mina is 7.
Only Known by Their Nickname: His real name is Vlad.
Papa Wolf: Don’t mess with Mina if you know what’s good for you.
Platonic Declaration of Love: In "Playing a Hunch", he admits to Igor that he really cares about Mina, and that she makes him feel alive despite being undead.
Vampire Vords: To be expected, since he is based on Dracula.

Voiced by: Ashley Johnson (pilot), Tara Strong (remainder of the series)

A little girl who befriends the Count and has a lot of fun with him.

Character Tics: Whenever she walks around, it's a bouncy skip.
Cheerful Child: She is constantly happy and good-natured.
Children Are Innocent: She's more or less oblivious of the fact that her best friend is an undead being who feasts on the blood of the living.
Innocent Inaccurate: "My Best Friend" the student film by Rob Renzetti that the shorts were based on, has her accompany the Count on his nightly visits and compares him to Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, noting that the people visited by the Count don't wake up.
Intergenerational Friendship: She's a seven-year-old girl who is friends with a vampire who is about 700 years old.
Meaningful Name: Her name is a reference to Mina Harker from Dracula.
Missing Mom: Her mother never appears in the series, nor is mentioned.
Sibling Rivalry: She gets into spats with her older sister Lucy.

Mina's father.

Parental Obliviousness: He's completely unaware that his youngest daughter's best friend is a vampire.
Unnamed Parent: His first name is never revealed.

Voiced by: Candi Milo

Mina's older sister.

Bratty Teenage Daughter: She's your garden variety teenage girl who acts entitled and unpleasant.
Hartman Hips: She has a wide pair of hips.
Likes Older Men: She's a teenager who ends up having a crush on the Count.
Sibling Rivalry: She does not get along well with Mina.

The Count's hunchbacked assistant, who does not approve of him spending time with Mina.

Characterization Marches On: He was depicted as bumbling and incompetent in the original short (the reason the Count met Mina in the first place was because he botched the Count's schedule of victims), but the remainder of the series depicts him as more intelligent.
The Igor: Just in case the name didn't tip you off, he's also a misshapen hunchback servant.
Irony: He's the one most against the Count's friendship with Mina, yet it was his fault that they even met in the first place!
Lorre Lookalike: Like most depictions of hunchbacks named Igor in fiction, this Igor's voice is a Peter Lorre impression. He also bears something of a physical resemblance due to his bulging round eyes.
My God, What Have I Done?: In "The Ghoul's Tribunal", he instantly regrets exposing the Count socializing with a mortal child when the other monsters take it to court.
Mina: Did I do something wrong?
Igor: No, Mina. I think I did...
Servile Snarker: He's not afraid to make snide comments around his master.

A bully at school who picks on Mina.

The Bully: He picks on Mina.
Nightmare Fetishist: "Frankenfrog" has him demonstrate a disturbing amount of pleasure in cutting open the dead frog the class is dissecting.
Sinister Schnoz: He's a bully with a pointy nose.
