Similarly Named Works: There is another, completely unrelated movie Obscurus Lupa reviewed called Monster High (that predates the franchise by almost 20 years) which contains gory shots of people exploding and gratuitous amounts of Rape as Comedy. Pray that an unwitting parent hasn't confused the two. Her relationship with her family is unknown, but she is the daughter of the Genie or Djinni. She mentions of having a father, but there is no information regarding Gigi's mother. It is possible she was born without one. Gigi, regardless of the events that occurred, also still claims Whisp as her sister. Word of Gay: Creator Garrett Sander confirmed that several characters were meant to be LGBTQ+ (hinted at in their diaries): Finnegan Wake (pansexual), Neighthan Rot (unconfirmed, suspected to be bi/pan), Kieran Valentine (gay and struggling with internalized homophobia and misogyny), and Kiyomi Haunterly (lesbian). Interpretations he's voiced support for include: Clawdeen Wolf (lesbian), Kala Mer'ri (bi/pan), and Gilda Goldstag (trans). Gigi comes off as one of the sweetest ghouls in Monster High. She has a friendly nature and is kind and helpful to others as much as she can. However, she tends to hide away when it comes to confrontations with other monsters (such as Toralei or Whisp). She's afraid of making severe mistakes at times as she knows there can be consequences.

The ghouls of Monster High are off on another exciting adventure in Monster High: 13 Wishes. This time, Howleen Wolf finds an ancient genie lantern in the attic and accidentally wreaks havoc on Monster High. During all the mayhem, they make a new friend, Gigi Grant, the daughter of a Genie. The gore-geous Gigi Grant doll totally charms in a frightfully fab outfit with killer accessories, plus she's fully articulated, so your own ghoul can pose her in lots of cool ways. Show Accuracy/Toy Accuracy: Most of the time, the dolls are pretty good representations of their depictions in their character art, the webisodes, and the movies, but usually their faces are much milder. Some more notable inconsistencies include: Even comics can't resist, as The DCU now has its own line of various female characters going to high school (in all fairness however, DC was pushing for that to happen even well before Batman Beyond was created- but likely went ahead now thanks to other similar lines being successful). Granted, the merchandise is another Mattel property, not another company.Gigi emphasizes in her profile that all her time spent in her lantern makes her claustrophobic. Also, in her diary, she shares how lonely she gets when she is trapped inside her lantern. She is still adapting to the real world (outside the lantern) and is afraid of her surroundings, mostly because she is afraid of the unknown. Her genie nature also makes her very loyal and helpful, which sometimes turns against her when people abuse her power, and she is forced to obey. She is capable of making new friendships easily, but only when totally comfortable with it. The artwork for Gigi's "School's Out" doll gives her a low ponytail with hair swept across her face, and a small section of her midriff is visible. The doll's hairstyle is a high ponytail, and her outfit is one piece. Wish Granting: When still bound to the lantern rules, Gigi could grant each finder a total of 13 wishes. However, when this power was passed on to Whisp, Gigi lost it. In 'Scareful What You Wish For', Gigi learns that her wish granting is still available for her, though only for simple wishes. She can also grant unlimited wishes, rather than only 13.

Cash-Cow Franchise: For much of the 2010s, it went head-to-head with Mattel's own Barbie for sales. The popularity of Monster High led to a whole subgenre of similar dolls. Deuce, starting with the "Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love?" special, is now voiced by newcomer Evan Smith. Smith also replaced Yuri Lowenthal as the voice of Gil. Cam Clarke filled in as Deuce's VA until Evan was cast. The vocal change also marked a change in his personality that not everyone agrees with. Gigi Grant highlights her bewitching look with boo-tiful makeup and a pink and orange ponytail. You couldn't wish for better accessories – she comes with a personal diary, a hairbrush for touching up her 'do, and a doll stand for striking different poses. Plus, your ghoul will shriek with delight at the spooky-cute pet scorpion, Sultan Sting. Disabled Character, Disabled Actor: Kayla Cromer, an autistic actress, voices the autistic Twyla Boogeyman in G3.

The G3 animated series depicts Ghoulia, Toralei, and Purrsephone with short hair, while their official dolls have long hair. Similarly, Meowlody's offical doll has her hair in long pigtails, while in the show she has it styled in twin buns. My Little Pony: Equestria Girls is My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic getting a Monster High-like makeover. Animated Elle's hairline is a squared-off widow's peak to keep with her angular robotic details. The actual doll's hairline is completely smooth.
