Operetta (G1)

Operetta is a character from the Monster High series.
== Charactah Account ==
Operetta is the daughter of The Phantom of the Opera. A bodacious character with a rockabilly style (think the 50s, but goth), she's a skilled musician— shown to skillfully play piano, violin, guitar and banjo. Tends to do her own thing most of the time, and won't hang with monsters unless they earn her respect.
Operetta is a tough girl with determination to spare. Described as "a bit of a diva" with a "set of pipes", she's a rebellious teenager who loathes being told what to do and what to leave. She's foremost a loner who drives in her own lane and avoids social obligations. She secludes herself inside the catacombs of Monster High, where she has all she needs: a little amphitheater of her own with a pipe organ where she can practice her one passion, music. Although praise and disapproval don't faze her much, admiration and mockery of her music is a sure hit. The right compliment goes a long way with her, but those that land on her bad side find themselves the target of her vindictive side until the score is settled.
During her first months at Monster High, what little peer contact Operetta agreed to did not make for a good start. To a point, her own personality and reputation played a role in that, as she's nothing short of intimidating and reluctant to connect. Misunderstandings and egos as fierce as hers did the rest. However, since making her first few friends, Operetta has eased into being an actual part of Monster High. A major event was joining the SKRM team, which she initially rejected for being conformist, then joined anyway because girls were mocked for wanting to play, and eventually stayed on because she'd learned to enjoy it.

== Trivia ==
* Operetta's character is a very elaborate play on her father's character. While her father is the Phantom of the Opera, she is the Phantom of the Opry. An opry is an establishment that features live country music(rockabilly took much influence from country music), and the term originated as a diminutive form of the word "opera". As per Operetta's student file, she and her parents moved from France to New Orleans, a former French colony, and her father took a job on a riverboat opera house, likely on the Mississippi River. This presumably brought Operetta in contact with Nashville, Tennessee, the "City of Music" where the Grand Ole Opry is located, and Memphis, Tennessee, where Elvis Presley grew up.
** Operetta's hairstyle mainly follows the Bettie Page pinup look or a combination of the "Happy Pompadour" bangs with "Victory Roll" sides hairstyle.
** Operetta's pet, Memphis "Daddy O" Longlegs, is named after Memphis, Tennessee. He sports a pompadour like Elvis Presley.
** Operetta's favorite food, fried peanut butter and banana sandwich, is referred to as an Elvis Sandwich.
** Johnny Spirit, Operetta's main romance, is based on the song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", which is an ode to the history of Bluegrass, country, and country rock.
* During the early development months of Monster High, Operetta was supposed to be a starter character. The role planned for her was eventually given to Cleo de Nile. The cartoon and diary storylines in which Cleo suspects Deuce replacing her with Operetta are a reference to these early plans.
* Although it is unsafe for Operetta to sing live, during the song “All Monsters’ Day” she is seen singing on the parade float with Catty without any problems, although she may have just been lip-syncing to Catty’s singing.
