C.A. Cupid is a character from Monster High and Ever After High. She is a student and radio host at both schools. She is called a Mirrorcast host at Ever After High because the word "Mirrorcast" is what they call radio shows.
She was found on the doorsteps of the Cupid household as a baby and adopted by the family. To this day, she does not know her biological roots or the reasons she was left at the doorsteps, but her dedication to her role as messenger of love distracts her from those uncertainties. Being terrible with any kind of bow but handy with machines, Cupid ditched the arrows and set up a radio station to host her own love advice show. As of 2014, Cupid no longer is a student at Monster High but has enrolled at Ever After High.
Character[]
Personality[]
C.A. follows in her adoptive father's footsteps as an arbiter of love and is specialized in the dealings of relationships, though primarily those of monsters with a focus on teenagers. She hosted a daily radio show from her station beneath the school, during which she took calls on relationship problems. This was her way of doing her job, since though she did (and still does) have her bow and arrows ready 24/7, she is a lousy shot.
When it comes to her attitude, C.A. Cupid is carefree and joyful as love should be, but also stern and professional as a relationship sometimes needs to survive. Sometimes even sassy in personality, Cupid is not one to let others step on her and her ambitions, despite her initial cheerful and cutie pie impression.
Appearance[]
C.A. Cupid has white skin (though pink in the specials) which fades to black the same way Spectra does to be transparent. She has short wavy pink hair, which is fashioned to make it look like she has a halo, and aqua blue eyes. She wears pink lipstick on the centre of her lips to make her mouth appear heart-shaped. C.A. Cupid's wings are made to look like a rib cage with a visible spine disguised as a necklace. In the specials she has brown eyebrows but in the webisodes, dolls and artwork, they are pink.
Abilities[]
- Bow Proficiency: Though she is not the best when it comes to aim, being the "lousy-shot" she is, she still knows how to handle a bow and its secrets. Despite this, she'd rather work through the science of love in her radio booth and therefore keeps her bow locked away. The bow is currently destroyed.
- Cupid can also be affected by the powers of her bow.
- Powers of Love: In the "Ever After High" franchise it is revealed she can use powers related to love with her hands without necessarily accessing her magical bow. This is an ability assumed to carry on to her "Monster High" persona.
- Individual Analysis: By activating a mode in her eyes, which consequently turns her sclera and irises into a bright pink light, she can analyses the powers of other love derived monsters. It is however unknown how she got hold of this powers considering she wasn't born to a love related household, as far as she knows.
History[]
C.A. Cupid's adopted father - Eros (or Amor, or Cupid in roman mythology) was a god in greek mythology. In both this mythologies was described two Eroses - Protogenos Eros (The Elder Eros), being one of the primordial deities, and Ouranios Eros (The Younger Eros), being one of the children of Ares and Aphrodite. In C.A. Cupid's diary from EAH series is metioned that Aphrodite is for her an aunt, not grandmother, so it can be guessed that C.A. Cupid's father is rather the "Protogenos" Eros than "Ouranios".
Eros was the primordial god (protogenos) of procreation who emerged self-formed at the dawn of creation. He was the driving force behind the generation of new life in the cosmos. The Orphics named him Phanes, a primal being hatched from the world-egg. He was also equivalent to Thesis (Creation) and Physis (Nature).
Relationships[]
Friends[]
She says that she is friends with any monster who is "in love with love". In Ever After High, she is more specific where she says on her bio profile: "Apple White, Raven Queen, and everyone in between with an open heart", meaning she has accepted the two fairytale characters into her social group, but in general, loves everyone who is in love with love, just like in the Monster High franchise.
Romance[]
In "Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love", Cupid accidentally shot her arrow at Clawdeen's brother Clawd and they fell in love until the ghouls broke the spell of the arrow. Since going to Ever After High, she has been having her eye caught on Dexter, specifically Dexter Charming. (Although he is not known to be the "charming one" unlike his brother, who has the affection of many females (such as Genni Green, Gladys Glassprincess and Ayano Hime at Ever After High). But Dexter has his eye on Raven Queen however, which has been difficult for poor Cupid.
