Frankie Stein

15 days old, Frankie Stein is the new ghoul at Monster High. She is the daughter of Dr. Frankeinstein's monster and his bride. Her pet is a puppy named Watzit.

Age
There are several plotholes concerning Frankie's age in the webisodes. Most of what happens would have had to have happened in the same day, which makes for a scrambled timeline. If the webisodes follow the same timeline as the "New Ghoul @ School" special, she would have started school when she was at 8 days or younger.

However, it is fairly likely that Frankie was assembled using the parts of several dead females in their mid-teens, so the "15 days old" thing is more of a reference to her ressurection since the death of her original body donors, not her true chronological age.

Personality
Frankie is friendly and athletic, but has a clumsy streak, as her body parts tend to fly off. She is usually the most down to earth of all the girls.

Portrayals
In the webisodes and Monster High movie New Ghoul @ School, Frankie's voice is provided by Kate Higgins.

In the music video for the Monster High Fright Song, there are several character analogues who received creative interpretation by the video crew. The "Hero Zombie Girl" is portrayed by Angela Duscio.

Physical Description
Frankie has long black and white hair, and light, mint green skin. In Volume 2 of the webisodes, her hair is straighter than it previously was. She has one green eye and one blue eye, a condition known as heterochromia. (However this is more likely to being assembled from multiple people, rather than genetics.) She has visible stitches all over her body, and two bolts on her neck.

Classic Monster
Frankie is the child of Frankenstein's Monster and his bride, as seen in James Whale's "Bride of Frankenstein", made in 1935 and released by Universal.

Famous film star Boris Karloff played Frankenstein's Monster, and Elsa Lanchester as his bride.

In the story, it is revealed that Frankenstein's Monster has survived the pursuit of the angry mob. He also persuades his maker, Dr. Frankenstein, to create a mate for him.

The film versions of Frankenstein are based on the 1818 novel by Mary Shelley, "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus".

The influence of her parents can be seen in Frankie's skin color, stitches and neck bolts (her father, Frankenstein's Monster) and her black and white hair (her mother, Frankenstein's bride). Frankie also has a fondness for the lightning bolt symbol, which is seen frequently in the films as the method of animating the monster.

Family
Frankie lives with both her parents in "a house that looks like a cross between a Swiss chalet and a research lab". Her parents treat her like she is very young (which, of course, she is, being only 15 days old) but they are very kind to her as she learns about the world around her. The last name Stein may indicate a Jewish lineage to her family background.

Friends
Frankie is best friends with Draculaura and Clawdeen Wolf. But seeing as she is such a peppy spirit, she has no enemies -- not even Cleo De Nile.

Romance
In the webisodes Frankie has no romantic interests, but in the Monster High movie New Ghoul at School, she develops a brief crush on Deuce Gorgon, until she finds out he's actually Cleo's boyfriend. In the book, she has a crush on a normie named Brett then moves on to DJ Hyde.

Frankie's First Day
Attendees of San Diego Comic-Con 2010 could buy an exclusive Frankie Stein doll, which was made in black, white and gray. The doll came with its own unique profile and a diary detailing Frankie's first day of her current existence.

Frankie in the Monster High books
In the Monster High books, Frankie is the daughter of university professors Viktor and Viveka Stein, and a grandchild of the original Dr. Frankenstein. The first 15 days of her life is spent having basic world and academic knowledge downloaded into her head. She is taught to cover her "mint" green skin with makeup and hide her neck bolts with high collars, turtlenecks or scarfs (her white streaks are later created from peroxide). Frankie hates hiding who she is and makes many attempts to get humans to accept her for who she is. However, she eventually ends up exposing her RAD world to panicked humans and the rest of the RAD community want her excommunicated. At the end of the book, she befriends DJ and Melody, who support her and also want to help the RADs.
