Frankie Stein

At 15 days old, Frankie Stein is the new ghoul at Monster High. She is the daughter of Dr. Frankeinstein's monster and his monster bride. Her pet is a puppy named Watzit; he contains parts of a puppy, kitten, dragon, fish, and many more.

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.

Personality
Frankie is friendly and athletic, but has a clumsy streak, as her body parts tend to fly off, to her embarrassment. She is the most naive of all the girls, being only 15 days old, so she tries to learn all she can about the world through teen magazines, though their advice often cause awkward moments for her. But despite setbacks, she remains upbeat, hopeful and determined to find her place in Monster High.

In the books, Frankie loves her body and herself while most RADs do not like themselves.

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. Melody Carver 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. In some episodes she displays the ability to command electricity as well, as absorb it via her neck bolts.

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 and red lips (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.

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.

Pet
Frankie's pet is a puppy named Watzit, which her father constructed from the parts of other animals. In the books Frankie has pet lab rats who she calls the Glitterati.watzit is like frankie too

Romance
In the webisodes Frankie has no romantic interests so far, 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. And in Scare of a Dare Cleo tries to get Frankie to reveal who her crush is during a game of truth or "scare."

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.

Personality File
Frankie is kind, inqusitive and enthusiastic. Her disire to always do right thing can sometimes be derailed by over thinking the situation. She can also be a bit of a... klutz, which has necessitated the hiring of another janitor for duty during school hours.

Parental Participation Excellent on all fronts both in terms of encouraging Frankie to become a better student and volunteering their time to help with activities at Monster High. I would love to clone both of them but Mr. Stein has so far refused this request.

Academic Standing
Frankie stein is a bright student with a curious mind. Her grasp of both conceptual and rote material is encouraging. She does struggle at time to pay attention in class and can be given to frights of fancy.

Social Interaction
Frankie's social skills are still a work in progress. While she has certianly bonded with her chosen group of friends, her eagerness to please and naivety sometimes invokes the law of unintened consequences.

Overall
I have enjoyed having Frankie Stein at Monster High and I believe her potenial is unlimited. She is the personification of a teenage monster learning who she is with all the joy and frustration inherent in the aqcuistion of that knowledge.

Frankie's Offcial Facebook Description
Frankie might only be 15 days old, but ghoul’s already got a sinister teenage style- formed with the help of her freaky-fab friends, of course. She’s the daughter of Frankenstein, and like him, has the most creeperific stitches holding her limbs in place. Downside of stitches? Occasionally they come loose, and always at the worst possible moments! Luckily, Frankie really knows how to pull herself together in a bind. Plus, when she’s excited she sparks at the bolts! So cool. She also has this totally voltage dog named Watzit. It’s fun to watch her play dead with him in the park after school.
