I don't know about unicorn backgrounders. I never saw one and I was unable to find information on that. but then again, it's a "Fabelwesen" as well plus, there are myths surrounding creatures that basically were unicorns but not explicitly named that.

Its funny how you say "Deuce looks normal except for" and then start to name a total of two monster traits he does have. So He is does not look normal at all. And yes, There are myths about creatures as beautiful as humans...Sirens, for example. They appear all beautiful human girl to lure men to their doom. But most of the time, they are just in a disguise, not using their real appearance.

And Cleo is a Mummy. And one of the trait's of being a mummy is being wrapped in bandages. Sure, she could look more dead and have more bandages wrapped around her, but she also has a queen bee thing going on so I think they chose not to make her too undead and zombie in order to fit that spot (same goes for Nefera). Again, as long as there are VISIBLE Monster traits, A tail, horns, fangs, fur, monster ears, antennas, wings, scales (which I think Deuce actually has...these aren't tattoos...so he has a total of three monster traits here)  odd number of limbs, eyes and other bodyparts, skeleten parts, unnatural skin colors...and so on. Something that makes it visible that they are "not normal". (Which is why, when I adopted the Character Design for Frendell, the first I did was add some monster traits to make him fitting for what I wanted him to use) And a Demi-God that looks normal but has imense supernatural powers...that's nothing visible and for me simply not enough. They basically wouldn't have to hide. They have to hide their powers maybe, but other then that they could live amongst humans with ease, which monsters cannot. And that's the plot of Monster High. It was before the "reset" and it is even more after.

Casta is also a witch with "ugly" green skin that witches often are depicted with. So she as well meets every criteria I've previousely mentioned. She is just like Posea actually.

I think you got me wrong that I don't accept them as OCs. I mean first of all, I said that I basically don't care - I don't want to be that one person so full of myself that I make a standpoint/rule on what are acceptable OCs in a Fandom and what aren't. I hate people who do that, which is why I kinda left the EAH Fandom to beginn with (and am a bit hesitent to join the other one you invited me to) I personally just don't like them too much if they a)look too normal (because then they should got to Ever After High in my opinion) and/or b) if they are over conveniently powerful and (because they are gods) exorbitantly beautiful, because the danger of them being a mary-sue/gary-stu is just too big. It's a trap one can fall into easily with such types of OCs. That's actually one of the main reasons I don't have a witch OC myself. I really want/need a character capable of magic (and I have that really old pencil sketch of an undead male voodo warlok....but I'm not sure how to pull him off so that he wouldn't be an overpowered gary-stu character...(and I also kinda feel that he might come across as (abit) racist...since voodoo is a real life thing, a religion... ) But yeah, that's really just my set of rules that I only apply to my own characters. Yes that makes me biased towards OCs that don't follow these rules in the way that I simply might not like them. But not everyone can like everything, right? :3
