Kipling

Kipling is a character from the Monster High series.
== Charactah Account ==
Kipling is a human with deformed, elephant-like ears, for which he has suffered much of his life. The first person not to reject him upon sight was Bartleby Farnum, which is how Kipling came to be his assistant. Farnum, however, exploited Kipling's fragile sense of self to control him completely, convincing him no one else would ever give him a chance. It wasn't until his midteens that Kipling came into contact with people who helped him see through the abuse and leave Farnum. These days, Kipling is a student at Monster High.
Kipling is the quintessential gentle giant. He is large, strong, and with his bag mask obscuring his face, he is an intimidating apparition, but he is not at all dangerous. Kipling is a meek, soft-voiced fellow who's reluctant to cause harm and convinced that his presence is a bother to others. The only times he could be moved to use violence is when someone with influence over him orders him or sees that nice people require protection.

== Trivia ==
* Kipling's masked model first appeared in "Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love?", as a part of theCGI movie Draculaura remembers having gone to with Clawd.
* Kipling may have been named after Rudyard Kipling, the writer of Toomai of the Elephants, which was adapted into a movie in 1937 titled Elephant Boy, and an all-round elephant enthusiast.
* Kipling is inspired by Joseph Merrick, better known as The Elephant Man, a famous man from the Victorian Era who developed a mutation that made him deformed and resulted in him often working as a Freak and Curiosity. While Kipling's mutation does not resemble Merrick's, the elephant ears are in reference to this.
