Macawbers

The **Macawbers** are a family of heritage and wealth which roots lie in Transylvania. They are monsters and like many of their kind look down on normals, although under Morgana's guidance they've become slightly more open to them. Many of the Macawbers possess magical powers, as the family regularly provides students to the ancient Eldritch Academy of Enchantment. In fact, several of them work at the Academy.

While every member of the family has at least two lines, almost only the voice actors of the recurring ones are known. The cat is voiced by Frank Welker. Blobby is voiced by Jim Cummings. The cyclops is voiced by Kath Soucie.

## Background

The Macawbers, or at least a branch of the family consisting of eight individuals, live in Macawber Castle in Transylvania. Morgana lives in St. Canard, but Macawber Manor holds a portal to Macawber Castle for her to use as she pleases. For the most part, it is not known how these nine individuals are related. Moloculo is the father of Morgana and is the head of the Macawber Castle household. Nasty is called "aunt" by both Moloculo and Morgana, so she's likely Moloculo's aunt and Morgana's great-aunt, although she could as well be several generations older. Globby is Morgana's cousin. By virtue of being two heads on one body, Screamy and Meanie are presumably brothers. Due to similarity in hair and skin color as well as the uncertainty how many eyes the big guy has, he and the cyclops could be siblings.

There's been a long state of hostility between the Macawbers and the people of the nearby town. Morgana stuck with monsters and demons too when she moved to St. Canard, but her good experiences with Darkwing Duck and bad ones with her usual social circles changed her outlook. Before long, she formed important bonds with various normals and even became their protector as a member of the Justice Ducks. She kept largely quiet about this to her family until her hand was forced to reveal she was dating a normal. Her family passive-aggressively disapproved and Darkwing did not respond with patience either, causing a conflict that through circumstances spread to the town and undid the stalemate agreed upon prior with a literal line between for each group to stay at their side of. After reasoning failed, Morgana let her anger and powers speak to force everyone to listen to her. The outcome was an agreement between the townfolk and the Macawbers to turn Macawber Castle into a tourist attraction that benefitted all.

The Macawbers loosened up after this, although anti-normal sentiments crept up at times in the presence of other monsters. Morgana's own steps towards normals brought forth an idea to open a restaurant, The Shadow Chateau, with which she was aided by Nasty and Globby. While the monsters worried the normals at first, their food and atmospheric presentation won them over.

Very little is revealed about the various Macawbers as individuals. Moloculo is old-fashioned and authorative, and generally interested in ways to increase his fortune. Nasty is a teacher at the Eldritch Academy of Enchantment and an over-enthusiast cook who'll make a meal out of anyone who is distracted for more than two minutes. She appears to be the oldest of the nine and enjoys respect equal to Moloculo's. Globby seems to be a student at the Eldritch Academy while Morgana is an alum. The cyclops is an organ player of some skill.

## Appearance

* Screamy and Meanie are a two-headed creature with pink skin of medium-to-tall height. The one with the pointy beak and protruding fang, red eyes, and light red hair is Screamy and the one with blue eyebrows, freckles, and a duck bill is Meanie. They dress in simple green clothes with a red tie.
* The cyclops has one large blue eye with yellow sclera. Her skin is on the purple side of blue and she orange or red hair. She is of medium height and goes around in cocktail dresses with jewelry and a fur boa.
* The big guy is both tall and corpulent. His skin is blue and his orange-red hair obscures his face above the beak. He has one protruding tooth and freckles. His outfit is akin to a toddler's, featuring primary colors and complete with bat-propeller beanie.
* The cat is actually a hybrid between a cat and a rat. His fur is black and he has a big red nose.

## Personality

The Macawbers are not necessarily withdrawn, but their preference for other monsters when their immediate neighbors are normals does give them a preference to stay home. Among each other, they simply try to be a good family, eating together and playing games together.
