Timah Monyet

**Timah Monyet** is a 2016-introduced character, who is the daughter of the Boo-kit Timah Monkey Man. She is a transfer student from the island country Shriekapore, and she join Monster High to explore Scaremerica and an overall bigger world. Quiet yet confident, she can't wait to swing into the teen scream.

## Monster High Student

### **Killer Style**

Due to my background, I sew my outfits inspired by urban arty couture and the peaceful jungle sights. I also embrace my culture within Shriekapore like wearing the kebaya or cheongsam.

### **Monster Quirk**

I know my quietude is partly to blame, but people seem to not notice me even when I scream. My body just seem to blend in with walls and shadows, making it a bit difficult for me to get someone's eye.

### **Pet**

It's this cute little cicada named Howler. Despite the name, he only seems loud during mating season.

### **Favorite Activity**

Making art and clothing out of recycled materials. One monster's trash is another's treasure after all.

### **Biggest Pet Peeve**

Ghouls and mansters just have outlandish ideas on how monkey people and Shriekaporeans are like. Not all of us are ig-gore-ant, uncreative or loud!

### **Fav School Subject**

Ge-ogre-phy is the first step of my plan to explore the world. Better to do my research before graduation.

### **Least Fav Subject**

Driver's Dead is very difficult for me, because ... cars scare me. Even being inside is a tail-riser, as I could be easily distracted and not watch where I'm going.

### **Favorite Food**

Boo-rian and banana yogurt is my fave! So creamy

### **BFFs**

Krisdin Hopkins and Miya Hanzaki

Timah is generally a private ghoul, keeping personal information to herself and doing projects by herself. Other than her dad, she never had chances to relate to another monster especially since the family lives in a vast forest reserve. However, she yearns to travel to other beautiful places like her home, making her ambitious and a bit of a daydreamer.
