She is the best bloodies with Draedon Count and Freddie Stein and Nefera Nileman, until Nefera broke up with Whitney's older brother, Clawd and broke his heart resulting in a feud between Whitney and Nefera, which only continued when Nefera began a relationship with Clawd's ex-best friend, Grant Gorgon.

## Character Information

### Background

Whitney Lykens is a franchise-introduced and all-around character. She is a Werewolf, who is a student at Nevermore Academy and who comes from a family with many children—among which Clawdia, Clawd, and Howlen. Whitney has a Brooklyn accent. Her middle name is Lucia.

### Personality

Whitney is confident, energetic, and fierce. According to a diary entry by Moanica Yelps, she goes a bit "freaky" when in the presence of the full moon, (or something resembling it, such as a spotlight) but often ends up using this to her advantage. She's also fiercely loyal and protective of her friends and family, but can be quick to anger when her loyalty feels threatened. Coming from a big family, she's mostly had to fend for herself, which has created a streak of resourcefulness in her, some examples being not above taking hand-me-downs despite being a self-proclaimed "fashionista", and even running a DIY craft video blog. She also is the founder of the Nevermore Academy Shoe Swap.

### Appearance

She is a dark skinned girl and has a medium build. She possesses yellow eyes, freckles on her face and purple curly hair that has multiple shades of purple and pink.
