The fact Casta is an actual Greek name and not something MH made up. It means “purity” and and in Latin it means “lineage,” both of which can relate to the harsh pressure (from her mother and from herself) she feels to perform perfectly so she doesn’t let anyone down.
“Fierce” is canonically a stage name, but can be explained as her trying to build up her confidence and self-esteem. She is Casta Fierce.
And then we have her brother shelldon

Some scrapped G1 concepts from Garrett Sander's panel at Powercon2023!
Apparently for the Fright-Mares 6 inch doll line they were considering toying with the idea of bug monsters but it was ultimately scrapped.
The line up with Deuce, Draculaura, and Frankie looks like additions to Home Ick that didn't make it into the line.
Casta Fierce and Catty Noir are pictured here as concepts for the Fierce Rockers dolls but Casta was cut from the line. Apparently Catty and Casta were originally going to be a duo going by Shattered Spells!
Deuce with a snakehawk that looks like his first original concept art one.
And I'm not sure what Frankie this is by the lockers but I think she is from the scrapped casketball game sports line up.

Spelldon and Friends
My first post focused on Spelldon and breaking down his outfit pieces. This one will focus on him and some other Monster High dolls….including a vampire….more under the cut because I took a lot of photos!!
From Valentine’s Diary: July 2nd
“While attempting to hide in the shadows, I bumped into a student I didn't recognize. He said his name was Spelldon Cauldronello. He had only been at MH a couple of weeks as he had been traveling with his older sister. Meeting him totally made me space out and forget to send a text that was supposed to help Clawd. He asked if I went to MH, and I said I was just visiting, but I would love to go to MH if I can. He said he'd keep me up on the groanings on around school if I wanted, so I gave him my number.”
I kept seeing fanart of Spelldon dropping a book and Valentine and Spelldon reaching for it at the same time that I thought it had happened in the diaries too, and decided to quickly pose them like that.
Valentine is completely and instantly love struck with Spelldon. Spelldon is lightly curious at this dapper looking southern-drawling vampire.
It didn’t take them long to start trying to hold hands. It was a bit tricky, but they managed. They have started to flirt incessantly.
They seemed to like dancing (Valentine has had many dances over the centuries with “young fillies” he had tried to steal love from, but this felt so much different. Spelldon hasn’t danced many slow dances, but meeting Valentine has made him want to start learning).
Still working on hand holding….
Valentine is pretty stealthy (like most vampires), and has surprised Spelldon quite a few times when sneaking in for a surprise kiss on the cheek. Spelldon lightheartedly threatens to give Valentine a potion that make his footsteps as loud as a giant’s.
Spelldon might have used an invisibility potion to finally manage to sneak up on Valentine and surprise him with a kiss on a cheek. Valentine tells Spelldon he doesn’t need to try and surprise him, he would gladly take a kiss from him anytime.
“Who is this?!” Spelldon looks up and Valentine thinks he remembers hearing that voice from the radio…..
Casta has entered the chat.
Casta is still getting used to her younger brother dating an emotion-feeding vampire (especially someone who was as notorious as Valentine -she might be a famous singer, but she knows a fiend who knows a fiend who knows a vampire who has had a run-in with Valentine).
But she’s proud to see her little brother thriving at Monster High She trusts Spelldon, and is happy to see Spelldon’s boyfriend tagging along and helping Spelldon gather and shop for potion supplies, and enjoy being a teenager (instead of always being on the road).
Valentine is still a bit nervous around Casta and all of her star-power (she may have threatened to turn him into a piglet if he hurts her brother. Spelldon said she was kidding and it’s a family joke).
I had forgotten that I had added some detail to my SDCC Valentine to try and make him closer to his film appearance. I had cut his hair (although he need to be dipped in some LA’s Totally Awesome as his hair is very gluey), add some paint to his earrings, glasses (and make them sunglasses with a paint wash) and shoes (I made the buckle into broken hearts and made the broken heart jacket buttons). I also added some extra gold and green embroidery to his lapel and cuff and some extra ribbon around his collar too.
Spelldon and his big sister Casta Fierce. I didn’t realize how much darker green she is until I got her out of storage (I had also painted her nails and boots too when I first got her). She also needs to be de-glued in some LA’s Totally Awesome. They look so good together, eeeeee!!!
Spelldon and his sister again (sans jacket).
Oof! He might have been distracted by his boyfriend off camera.
Spelldon and Casta practicing their witchcraft while she is in town. They are not the best at fortune telling, but their mama would be proud they’re keeping up with their studies.
Casta is the best at reciting magical incantations, while Spelldon is happy to be adding the ingredients.
“The whole bottle should do it….I’m pretty sure.”
“This one has an invisible gas inside. And this one is a part of a rare ‘glow worm’ from a cave Valentine’s family had visited in Transylvania.”
I was going to have the glow in the dark potion also hang from his belt, but it was too much weight and kept falling off.
“You’ve grown quite the collection of ingredients Spelly.”
“Thank you. I miss being on the road with you, …but it’s nice living in one place for a while. I’ve been able to safely practice my magic at Monster High. You’re right, they have a great magic course here. I’ve made new friends….and…someone who is more than a friend….”
Casta and Spelldon promise to keep Fate-timing each other at least once a week.
My G3 Deuce (don’t mind his glasses being off, all the other dolls have been told not to look at him, and visa versa, for this quick photo shoot, and the photographer was only stoned for an hour afterwards) and Spelldon (who used the same body and sculpt).
Spelldon thinks Deuce looks kinda familiar, while Valentine is appalled at the thought that Spelldon might resemble Deuce.
(G3 Deuce’s hair repaint - I missed the gradient G1 Deuce had and G3 Deuce has a much more detail on his snakes in the show…..I don’t care for the paler plastic green his doll comes with).
And finally, a group photo of Spelldon and my other Monster High customs. Welcome to the family Spelldon!

Here is some weird mh conspiracy that pops up in my head at 1:00 am...
Do you think it's weird that MH G1 "music" theme doll lines neither Operetta and Holt
Think about it...
2013: Music Festival: Venus, Clawdeen, Draculaura, Clawd and Abbey
Before I continue... I know you gonna say:
What about 2015: Boo York Line...
True ( Operetta's outfit is more suitable for tourists and she doesn't have much role in the movie aside post credit scene)
But what about Holt?
After the Halloween disaster, he doesn't get to travel as well. He could help Catty with her music or something.
I know its absurd but I have a theory: The only reason Operetta was included in Boo York's line is that her dad is one of the most famous musicals in history meanwhile Jackson/Holt's grandfather only made a decent musical: Jekyll and Hyde 1990
2016: Fierce Rockers: Venus, Jinafire , Clawdeen, Catty and Toralei
At this point in time MH got 2nd reboot and only brought Operetta back in webisodes and TV specials.
2016: Music Class: Cleo and Ari Hauntington
This year in Monster high G3: There gonna realize Monster Fest line which is their version Music Fest
So far its confirm: Frankie , Cleo, Clawdeen, Lagoona and Draculaura
I dunno know if Toralei Meowlody & Purrsephone or Catty Noire will join later
Still no signs of G3 Operetta or Jackson/Holt
Who knows maybe both will appear later this year or next. Only time will tell.
TLDR: It's weird for me that neither Operetta and Holt appear in doll lines concerts or music-related activities.

Since I was embarrassingly wrong about Ellis being Valentine, I’LL SAY HES G3 SPELLDON INSTEAD
Spelldon, Casta, and Circe (as we know them wouldn't really work in g3 for a few reasons:
1) Circe is a goddess and g3 witches are human
2) casta wouldn't be a loved performer or known by the monsters because she'd be a human witch
3) their names are CASTA, SPELLDON, and CIRCE. Like that would not work they'd be bullied so hard a like what do you mean your teenage son living in the human world going to high school is named spelldon?
BUT Ellis works in place of Spelldon
He's the son of the queen of an extremely powerful and old witch coven, which could work in place of the goddess of witchcraft
GIVE ELLIS HIS VALENTINE PLEASE
